Rumble (cover)

Here I am playing Rumble which has been regarded as one of the most influential rock instrumentals of all time. The song was originally released in 1958 and performed by Link Wray & His Ray Men. This song utilized then-unexplored techniques like distortion and feedback. It became a huge hit in the United States where it climbed to number sixteen on the charts in the summer of 1958.

[piszczello]

this must be one of the easiest songs to play ever haha

still sounds great

[jbruceguitar]

@piszczello Not really. I've played easier songs than this. :-)

[3star2nr]

How did you do that echo effect at the end?

[jbruceguitar]

@3star2nr It's not echo it's tremolo.

[jbruceguitar]

@3star2nr Electronic effect in the pedal.

Hey Bruce! Congratz man. What a simple, and nicely done cover! Where did you get the backing track. If it isn't the original, it's really god-damn close. Can you host it into a site so we can download it?

[jbruceguitar]

@BrunoHammett As of this time, I don't have a site to host it on but that may change in the near future. Thanks for asking.

Great cover man!...Could you make another one using the background music from the

Ry Cooder version of Rumble used in the movie "Streets of Fire".

[sartael]

The first song that I learn to play with my Ibanez

[Robfalcon501]

doesn't seem like it's completely in tune, but maybe that's the tremelo, nevertheless...awesome cover good job

[kingorbit]

It just seems unreal that this song could be banned by some stations just because of the power of the music itself.

[TommyNegeal]

You do both the track and the man justice, brother.

[skater160594]

Very good job. Puts a very good impression on the song.
