Rumble - Link Wray cover

Though not really a surf instrumental, Link Wray's "Rumble" certainly was a forerunner of the instrumental surf guitar genre. It's a simple tune to play, but it took some time to make the backing track. The bit at the end is an homage to the 1970's Chicago area TV Show that used "Rumble" for a theme song.

Hi Dan, great rendition. Loved the sound and you made a perfect BT. Hope to see and hear more of this from you. Thumbs up my friend.

Best regards Eric

@STUDIOCHINCHAN Thanks Eric. I thought the distortion made the guitar sound a bit out of tune, but I used an electronic tuner just before the recording. Backing tracks can be a lot of work. I'm consistently amazed by yours.

@ScalerWave Thanks. I understand it was also featured in a rockumentary called "It Might Get Loud".  I haven't seen that or "Pulp Fiction". I'll have to make a point to.

I remember this tune from the movie "Pulp Fiction" and the sound track CD. Good job DH.

@0258jtj7 I read that Link Wray poked holes in his amp speakers to get that sound. Fortunately I didn't need to do that. :) Thanks for the comments Ray.

@allshookup1977 In the 70's, a program called "Svengoolie" on local TV station used "Rumble" for theme music. The face at the end is Sven. (Jerry G. Bishop) Thanks for coming by to listen Frank.
