I haven't forgotten about you Rockabilly cats. Here is Carl Perkin's version of "Blue Suede Shoes", complete with the original solos. While it would have been easier to improvise, I strive to give you cats accurate covers. The trickiest thing about the original solos is they are very similar, but not quite the same. If you look and listen closely you will hear the similarities and the differences. You'll also hear a few clams but isn't that what Rockabilly is all about? Have fun!

Gear used:

►2004 Gretsch Reverend Horton Heat Model

►1962 Fender Bassman

►1991 Fender Eminence speakers (They're great!)

►Chandler Stereo Digital Echo

►Shure SM57 microphone - 7 inches from the grill off axis.

►George L cable

►Fender Medium pick

☺Four shots of espresso!

  • Can you advise me on a suitable echo setting............I'm using a Boss GT 8 which seems to copy most things, however I can't recreate a suitable rockabilly/slapback echo!

    Please help................your sound is excellent. I also have GretschG6121-1959

  • @lagojardin - If it displays milliseconds, set it at about 135. Then you'll want to set it for two or three repeats, with the first repeat being about 75% as loud as the initial attack and the others trailing off to where you barely hear them. The Boss GT8 is a good unit, should be no sweat.

  • I love you. You rock so fucking hard man

  • @UncleSam493 - Life is not a dress rehearsal, you've got one shot. You'd best make it good...
