Hello Michael, thanks for the video! Do you think I can use this together with a bass? So a guitar and a bass plugged at the same time? Regards from Amsterdam

Hello Michael. Thank you for sharing the video. Are you still satisfied with the amplifier and how long does it last running on the battery? Regards from Italy.

I know i can get the tone right by messing around with the reverb but could you help recreate the tone he had in welcome and love, devotion and surrender

Hi Michael, how are you progressing with your playing? I'm just starting at 72 learning to play the Shadows music. So far I've been learning how to play and get that sound right, hopefully you've got to where you want to be.

do think the amp played a big part in the sounds as i struggled to notice a dereference to any great degree

I play a lot of shadows stuff and my own compositons too but I am pensioner now with back and arthritis problems so I need a strat that is very lightweight. I was thinking of the Ibanez but people are saying its not good for Shads stuff. I like the improvisation, I do a lot of that as well, its good for progress as a musician.

No whammy action ?

🤔

And the result is a great great guitar !!!

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been looking at that kit for a bit and stumbled across this video when I was looking at the jazz box build. Sorry to see that there were issues with the finish. I was thinking about going with a French polish on one. Thanks again for your posts!

Ah, an old favorite of mine. Great tune, and all those guitars sound great. Your home-built guitar looks and sounds amazing, sir. Thanks for the comparison video. I was surprised how good the Harley Benton sounded. I just picked up my first Harley Benton, a BM-75, and I am quite impressed with it.

Sorry Michael, but you haven't got a clue.

I am proud of you,man!!! a Friend of the Shadows, is a friend of mine!!!!! Keep going, there is only one way, and that is up!!!!

Sorry mate, great effort but not quite there, oh maybe a Fender Strat will help get you there, keep going-still a bit of work to do

Les Paul guitar(s) - first big mistake!

Nice job

Nice presentation. 😊 My tip is buy a alesis Q2 echo with the Charlie patches. Then you will have a very good sound of the shadows. They are low on price That's my advice for a better sound Cheers tonio

Peace pipe was excellent, well done, sounds and music great. Inspirational

that is brilliantly and beautifully done Sir

A bloke i used to know lived next door to Hank marvin in England years ago Hank said to get my sound you need the Hank Marvin Kinman pick ups to start with then find an old Vox amp and a few pedals, what are your thoughts

Ahead of your time, sir

Does anyone know where to get backing tracks and sheet music for tracks like Peace Pipe and Flingel Bunt?

Nice!

Hello from Northern Ireland in the UK. Thanks for posting your video. I am thinking of buying one of these guitars. Do you still have your Bigtone, if you do how do you feel about it now that you had it a while? I have 4 Gretsch guitars and I want a project guitar to customise. I would really appreciate it if you would please give me your honest opinion good points and bad.

this is awesome. did you prime and/or sand it as well or just spray paint it?

Hi Michael, which app or source do you use on your tablet for the rhythm playbacks?

Hi Michael just found you on you tube you have done very well i know its hard to get this sound i am 77 started to play about 8 to 10 years ago i bought Hall and Collins echo unit and i have black star amp i cant read music but play from memory i have about 50 posts on you tube and i would like your comments please i thinks the guitar is the hardest instrument to learn and ye practice is the main part but iam now suffering in my left had or wrist from arthritis so can only play for about 20mins at a time but very impressed my name is Alan Bywater

Hello, where did you find the patches for Zoom MS-50G? Art d'eco has patches for several Zoom Models but does't have the ones for MS-50G. Can you help? thank you. Roberto

Can this guitar HB JA60-0W be played well? Solo Wish you were here. Does this guitar need a tremolo bridge to play like D. Gilmour? Which one for that?

Using 1st and second fingers is creating tension I think hank use mostly 1st and 3rd. Also practise 1234 slide 5 from 6 string to first and return using a finger for each fret

This is silly!

Unfortunately Apache was almost the wrong tune, a lot of different, or extra notes that Hank doesn't put in, but I enjoyed your enthusiasm for it, keep on pluckin'

Blev selv forelsket i den rød/hvide stratocaster da min far i sin tid introducerede The Shadows, The Ventures og generelt guitar musikken til mig som dreng! Du gør det så godt!

Sounds great ,learn some Luthier skills and save some money ,I like that .🎸

Yee haw

Hello Michael, much appreciated, keep it going ! 👍👏👏

Great video. It was a big help for my practice. I got an electric guitar just to play surfing music like Tthe Shadows and The Ventures . Cheers

Hi Michael what amp do you use and what amp setting I am struggling with them thank keep up the good work

Hello! Inexperienced Boat Builder here. Great build! For sure will help me build my Bella. Have a question for you.. by any chance, do you know the weight of the keel for Bella? The keel that came in my kit does not even fit throught the stand and is around 1.6 kg. Is this ok? Not being able to fit the keel through the stand, got me thinking... Greetings from Romania! Sergiu

Keep going Michael you have put some major effort in there. What you have to remember is artists such as Hank and others play these tunes everyday to thousands and will play different versions ie will change notes and techniques in every performance. As for practice it's super important to practice for at least 3-4 hrs daily. I'm a singer in the Rat pack style but mainly Dean Martin is my influence. I know about 50+ songs word perfect. How I did that was every night in bed I literally perform a full set of songs in my head, I've been doing this for the last 5 yrs. It's easier that way as your subconscious mind is like a sponge that retains info.

Nice Job! I see you own the Boss RC-5 and the Trio+ which do you recommend buying if you can just have one of them?

Good job...excellent.!!!

Well done!

Start to finish, well done!

Brilliant, well done sir

Good job, you could do next a wooden IOM class RC sailboat maybe? We believe it would be amazing...

skide hyggeligt!

This is now officially the fucking coolest video on the entire web. Rock and fuckin' roll!!!!
