Duane Eddy, 100 Club, London

.

The famous “twang” came about when Eddy picked the low strings on his Gretsch electric guitar, added vibrato by waggling the tremolo arm and fed the results through an echo chamber rigged up by his first producer, Lee Hazelwood. The result was a rich, deep guitar sound that sauntered through Eddy’s instrumentals like the hero in a western, a frontier rock n’ roller riding out west.

Eddy, however, proved to be something of a one-trick pony. His style influenced guitarists from George Harrison to Jimmy Page but he never found another register beyond the twang. There were to be no experiments with jangling or feedback from the “Rockin’ Guitar Man”. As he aged he faded from view, hanging up the Gretsch and retiring to Nashville.

So it was something of a shock to see the 72-year-old on stage, twanging his guitar and playing tracks from his new album, Road Trip is a blast, as shown by the rendition at the 100 Club of “Primeval”, a lurid instrumental with wailing sax and a brutal beat that stomped off in search of a 1950s B-movie, preferably one featuring Jane Russell in a clingy dress. But Eddy, with excessive diffidence, didn’t play many other tracks from the album. There was evidence of ring-rustiness in his rambling between-song chats too.

Yet the twang rang out true. “Peter Gunn” swaggered by with strutting guitar and raunchy sax. “Shazam!” and “40 Miles of Bad Road” were as dusty and vibrant as an Elmore Leonard short story. The highlight came when Hawley appeared to sing a pair of Lee Hazelwood-penned songs, “Still as the Night” and “The Girl on Death Row”, whose velvety poise and sense of drama came across as powerfully as when they were first performed by Eddy more than 50 years ago.

Morning Teleportation: Expanding Anyway

The song starts with a horn-laden groove that sounds like it came out of a '60s action show, complete with fiery guitar solo. Then it slides into a totally different groove dominated by a disco beat, cabaret-style piano, and a whacked-out tremolo synth




Dean Razorback Guitar, Dimebag Bolt On with Floyd Rose Classic ...

The late great Dimebag Darrell is a serious metal guitar hero, and Dean’s series of Dimebag models pays homage. Dimebag started playing Dean ML style guitars in the late ’70s, and made it one of the most recognizable shapes today. Dean offers a wide variety of Dimebag models to choose from, all boasting Dimebag’s distinctive look and tons of mojo and attitude.

Basswood Body Bolt-on neck construction provides an affordable alternative to set-neck or thru-body designs. The advantage of this design is that if you do have any neck trouble down the line, you can easily replace it.

The DB’s maple neck features an ultra-playable 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, with custom arrow inlays and a DB razor inlay at the 12th fret.

Dean Humbucker Pickups To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, which provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition. The standard three-way selector allows bridge, neck, or a combination. Each pickup gets a volume pot, and they share the tone control.

Grover Tuners If you play guitar then you know what this means–solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These tuning machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.

Floyd Rose Special Tremolo The patented and often imitated double-locking design of the Floyd Rose tremolo allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge. Engineered like no other tremolo system, the Floyd’s high-quality steel parts are manufactured to exacting specifications. Beat it up as much as you want–from traditional vibrato to dive bombing leads or flapping loose strings, and stay in tune while you do it.
