Did the amp whack out at that one part in the beginning?

I hate to be the guy who does this, but...Fallout: New Vegas, anybody? And listen guys, so what if I found out about Bert through a video game? He's still getting more of the attention he deserves.

Typical 80's the toms on that drum kit are way too high :P

I think I'm going to learn guitar. I've been thinking of it for a while, but this has certainly boosted it along. What a legend.

Damn! First time i've heard this guy. simply amazing. He should rock with chuck berry before they eventually kick the bucket. they might die sooner or later, but the music will live on

Mega! He da man! Play in a day with Bert
Super guy, super guitarist too. Taught me a lot when he visited the Kemble-Yamaha facility at Bletchley in the '70s to collect a new guitar and amp.
He didn't just inspire the Shadows - he did the session work for them in the early days - ask Hank!
And he was born in 1920, maikng him 62 in 1982. Saw him at a gig several years later, still rocking! Played a great 1 hour solo set for charity.
Respect.

Bert Weedon was the British "Les Paul"... the first real guitar hero in Britain.
While not as well known here in the states (truly an injustice to his talent and historical importance), those of us guitarists who are true students of the electric guitar and it's pioneers, recognize his contributions and absolutely love his style, versatility and tone.
would like to see more of his back catalogue available for purchase.
A true electric guitar genius.
