They may think the world of Hank in the UK, but he can't hold a candle to Nokie Edwards. Compaired to Nokie, Hank is dull & un-inspiring, period.

I've seen tons of WRONG ways to play this song & yours is the only one that's absolutely right!!!! Why do people who haven't learned to play it right, think they can teach others how to play it wrong? (Arrogant amateurs make me sick!) This tune is probably THE most butchered song by amateurs on ...

not quite right.the second half of the chord riff uses a G then a F# back into an A. It's basically a D4, D, A. Notes from the open A string up are G, A & D; F#, A & D; then E, A & C#. If you're going to taech, learn it correctly. Don't teach until you can do it right!

This is a bit TOO basic, since it COULD show the 2 main verse chords (Gm7 & F) & other two chords for the chorus (C & Ab or G#). Plus the guitar & bass line between the 2 chorus lines, behind the "Fire in the Sky" vocal:

G,G,Bb,G,C,Bb,G,F,G,G,Bb,G,C,Bb,F... (back to 2nd half of chorus). Note tha...

@killerweed4life: As a 47 year career pro touring & studio musician, I only made a observation; I never said it sucked; actually it's not bad for young amateurs, but it shouldn't be posted here, since I suspect that someday these guys will get better & be embarrassed & probably wish they hadn't p...

This is one of the BEST covers I've heard on this tune, especially the vocals. The background music isn't bad either. If it's a sequence, it could be a bit closer to the original, particularly the lead guitar, but it's not bad for originality, & the ending isn't quite the same, but I'd say a litt...

@Halo3word: I spoke with Paul Stanley about this & he said the mistaken idea was Knights In Satan's Service, but also that it was just BS. Anyone can make up acronyms to fit most any word or name. A person who doesn't like KISS might say it could mean: Known International Shity Songs; so there yo...

It's sad that the transcription is so tragically inaccurate in far too many spots. Apparently they need Q-Tips for their ears, or maybe they have no idea what Mustard Gas is.... and that's just one mistake amidst lots of perfect text; why is that? I caught every word the first time through... som...

You play well, but you (1) need a better amp like a Mesa Boogie, Vox VT50 or one of the new Fender Mustang amps & (2) a guitar with serious fat humbuckers, such as the PRS Orithani guitar, not thin sounding Fender single coils. The entire performance would have been 10 times more amazing with the...

IMHO, Hank is an amateur next to Nokie Edwards of the Ventures. So many little extra lines in between the main melody parts that really dress up the song(s) is what Nokie can do that Hank doesn't. Hank leaves holes all over the place that make everything he plays sound empty an dull. Their arran...

Allen Collins didn't play his own solo as well as this. His tone wasn't as good either, especially on the Firebird, though better on the Explorer.

These guys are nothing short of fabulous! With so much amateur crap on here, THIS is a breath of fresh air!!! I've been friends with Evan most of his music-making days and was very privileged to have worked with him (playing either bass or guitar) on many gigs. He's a world-class drummer and a gr...

Apparently you're a week-end amateur joke who has NO clue who I am. I learned to play guitar before you were born. I'm 64, a Pro guitarist who has toured the NE US for 40+ years. I own my own home & both my parent's are dead, Jerk! & BTW: I HAVE done better; check UNO FRONT LAMP on PureVolume. A...

@jaypauljackson:

Link Wray was born on May 2, 1929 & died on November 5, 2005.

He turned 49 on May 2, 1978 & was 76 & 1/2 years old when he died.

DAMIEN: It's called a Steel Guitar, but it lays flat, on legs, like an elevated piano bench, can have 1 to 3 'necks' and is played with a steel bar & metal finger picks. The 'Dorbro' is a guitar looks like a spanish or folk-acoustic guitar, but made from metal and is usually used in bluegrass ban...

@Supdawg29: Not long after I began guitar, my curiosity was peeked by Hendrix."What's that chord in Purple Haze & Foxy Lady, same as in I'm A Man?" I asked. I knew answers like "E7 maj/minor" were wrong. Someone said "people in SU's Music School should know", so I went and asked around. They exp...

They should stick to gospel.... playing the right chords would help too. No 'lead' was needed in the original, why here? I can see & hear clearly... that this is very amatuer. Nice try, but (46-years as a Pro) I have to be honest.... I call them like I hear them.

Great vocals & excellent harmonies. However... to be quite blunt, the back-up music has no balls. Besides that, the 3rd 'Pretty Woman' line in each verse is sung on a 6/4 measure, not an extra 2-beat pause, making it two full 4/4 measures. Do it right or not at all.

Singers ALWAYS want their voice way over top of the music and any back-up so low you can hardly hear it... for sure it's really tough getting the beat to dance as well. It should be a reasonable blend... then the reverb &/or echo wouldn't sound like a huge cave or an empty auditorium. This comes ...
