Anyone that gives a thumbs down doesn't know much about music. I have listen to him sense I was a kid and I am now 70 years old. The first 45 record was done by him and my forst LP was done by him. I loved his music back then and still loved listening to him today.
Back in 65 - 66 my older brother, while in high school, worked at a radio station in Yuma. He brought home a demo album, "Duane Eddie does Bob Dylan" ,as it did not fit with the stations format. I swiped that album after a while because I just loved the album and that twang. It was not until Wikipedia came around that I figured out just how famous Duane Eddie is. I still have that album along with the other albums from my junior high and high school years. ... not that many. They have been packed away for decades. ... My brother does not even remember having it.
When I was a teenager in Phoenix in the 1950's and early 1960's I used to go to a local guitar shop in Maryvale and sit and listen/watch Duane Eddy and Jimmy Bowen play and sing. What sweet memories.
Duane Eddy is the American soul that was when America was a happy land to live in. He grew up at a right time. God blessed him with a gift that He knew would cause people to feel happy and tap their feet! God invented music... Duane was chosen for a good thing meant for all of us. Great music!
OMG The old boy still got it!!!! Way to go Duane. Show these kids today. How a guitar is REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED!!!!! 5000stars plus!!! You Still Rock!!! God Bless!!
It's so great to hear this again! Loved and love his music! And Ghost Riders has always been a BIG favorite of mine!! Over ALL thes many years that I've lived! ~ 4/19/2020
this is what you call serious guitar playing what a legend where is all this music gone and why have we got to listen to all the crap out now duane you rock
I never in my 72 years had the privilege & pleasure of attending one of his concerts or meeting him in person, but have always though of his music as beyond compare. From listening to his interviews, he also seems to be a first-rate individual as well. Thanks for everything, Duane.
I first heard of him while working in a music store. I was playing a Jazzmaster through a Twin Reverb when another salesman came in and asked if I was trying to sound like Duane Eddy. I'd never heard of him until that day. Ever since then I've been a DE fan.
I am a huge fan of Duane Eddy, he became popular in the late 50's, he was responsible for a lot of people becoming guitar players, sad that he's gone but he left us with a wonderful catalog of recorded music, I usually listen to something every day by Duane, RIP
Another great musician that has gone to that fabulous band in the sky, he died a couple of weeks ago at 86, inspired thousands of guitarists including Brian May.
Oh wow ! I have always loved hearing Dwayne Eddy songs. He was amongst the many of the 1960 best. I have always said that with all of the musicians that the Lord has brought home in the past 20 years there must be a hell of a jam session going on. I for one can't wait to hear and see all of all the members. As well as be at a session. Hey yah all save me a cloud please. Tom
Mr. Eddy was 1 of the best ...as git -boxer & human ...got to meet him on his farm in Indiana...+ same goes for Lonnie Mack ..who also was there...I even got to plunk some notes on his red V. cool as get out to play an 58 V...but a custom red that he painted? Freakin priceless...
The very first note got me! That sound! So deep, rich, BIG! And the vibrato and reverb add the icing on the cake. Very few things in life are perfect. That sound is. I wouldn't touch any setting.
The audience is so well behaved. No hooting, no hollering, no throwing things, no whistles. Almost like civilized adults. How our society has deteriorated since then.
Fell in love with his music when I was in my early teens back in the 60's and the love is still still there....haven't heard anyone to come up to his speed at this point. He's still fantastic!!
Whichever way you look at it, he earnt his colours and without a doubt earnt his fame, fan loyalty and quite frankly pretty much everything he recorded is timeless and can be shuffle played nearly endlessly without getting boring. Along with the Chantays, The Shadows and The Ventures, and The Tornados (USA), he's one of my major influences in guitar sounds, and the original influence as I grew up listening to his stuff on 8-track as a kid.
C’mon the old club😂😂 Yeah, I’m in this club too, this man was my inspiration for learning to play guitar. 60 years later, and I’m still enjoying playing ❤
He was part of the golden age in America. We had nothing to worry about but the atomic bomb and with music like that - the Abomb was nothing. We had music in our souls - in our spirit and it was kick assed good music.
This great song was, I think, originally sung by Vaughn Monroe, of which several versions are available on RUclips including a live performance. Frankie Laine did another classic version and so did Johnny Cash. But Duane Eddy really kicks ass here. He's up there ridin' in the sky with the best of them.
@@SplashgameFTWuh...what? This song was written well before anyone knew who Duane Eddy was. In fact he was about 10 yrs old when this song came out. Written and recorded in the 1940's by Stan Jones. Also recorded by Burl Ives in the 40's. I'm the same age as Duane...and I listened to the original version as a kid hundreds of times
It's not how much you play it's how tasty you play and how much people enjoy it. Signature sound for sure and a great guy. Had the opportunity to back him up with our little band at a record hop in '59.
In fairness, what Duane is doing with his guitar here is all very easy rhythmic stuff, with little to no real effort or exertion involved. Contrast that with what Stevie Ray Vaughan routinely did in live performances...extreme bends, insane chops and impeccable runs, all of which required intense effort. If you've seen close-ups if Stevie playing, you can see the muscles in his forearm bunching and jumping as he makes his hands do things very few others could manage, and that alone equals considerable pain, both during and afterwards. It's been said that anyone can sound like Stevie...for 30 seconds at a time. Try doing it for a couple of hours! During my many years as a working guitarist, the bands I played with usually closed the show with The Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man," followed immediately by Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird." That meant a 15 minute powerhouse workout for me as 1st lead guitarist, usually followed by me icing my left arm all the way up to the elbow.🤣 The electric guitar is an amazing instrument...the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. All the rest is pain, wear and tear, and showmanship. For many guitarists these days, it's all about the "stank face," but to the true professional, you take the pain with the pleasure, and you let it all out where it belongs...on stage. Give it all up to the audience, without whom all of your pain and effort would be meaningless.
@@georgebrown6540 Trust me, no offence was taken. I simply wanted to point out that not all guitar players take it as easy as Duane Eddy usually did. Although he was widely considered to be one of the greatest rock and roll instrumentalists, and rightly so, the style he played was relatively simple and did not require intense physical exertion. However, as early rock and roll gave way to rock, hard rock and heavy metal, the level of intensity and muscular exertion skyrocketed. This is when we first started to see what has since come to be known as "stank face." Some of the greatest guitarists who ever lived were notorious for the ridiculous faces they made while playing, like Jimi Hendrix, Terry Kath, Peter Green, SRV, Gary Moore and many more. Performing at that elevated level sorely taxes the muscles of the hand (small, delicate muscles for dexterity and quickness) and forearm (larger muscles for sheer brute strength), which can translate to considerable amounts of pain, both during and after the performance. I am far from the only guitarist who's needed to ice their fretting hand or forearm after playing three sets a night and finishing the last set with an extreme, 15 minute pyrotechnic workout. Personally, though, I don't usually do the "stank face" thing; instead I tend to zone out somewhat, concentrating so fiercely on what my hands are doing that I'm unaware of what my face might be doing. This has caused me to actually drool on my guitar several times during the most intense solos.🤣
He came to Coventry in the early 70,s he performed at my workplace Chrysler factory Ryton at the time we were producing the Avenger motor car, he asked the audience what should he play,of course I shouted out The AVENGER!!! great night brilliant performer.
I was just a little teeny bopper when I first heard this guy on CHUM radio in Toronto, I could not believe what I was hearing. This song and Because their Young just blew me away. Instrumentals where huge when I was a kid, but it took real talent, just great playing, will not see the likes again. Loved you.
Agreeing totally - there are a very few really notable version of Ghost Riders, especially where each has it's own very distinct sound and yet carries the hallmark of a classic. So if you think of Johnny Cash's version as the first people think of, then this is no.2 on the classic list (by order of recording rather than personal fav order), no.3 would be 'Riders In The Sky' by the Shadows, and no.4 (for it's fun parody bit of comedy) would be Russ Abbot's 'Ghost Joggers In The Sky'. Some might say the version recorded for the Ghost Rider movie as no.3 maybe, but it felt a bit too 'trying to hard to gild the lily' elaborated to really count, but in fairness some might say that of 'Riders In The Sky', so I guess it's very subjective thing. But certainly, after Johnny Cash's version, this as a pure instrumental is no.2 in the classic versions, but on equal standing for choosing between when I put playlists together.
First Album I ever bought was Rebel Rouser. Many years later I was having lunch at the Hardrock Cafe in Nadhville It was almost empty when I spotted the red vest he wore on that Album cover. I asked the manager if that was the original he said yes and I was the first guy to actually identify it.
Always loved the baritone sound of instrumentals. That’s how I try to play, mainly because my hearing gets confused on sharp notes with being nearly dead in my left ear. Beyond that, it’s just so damn cool.
The instrumental is one of my favorite versions, probably because I heard it first by Duane Eddy but the vocals with all that would be the greatest addition.
I recall thrilling to his “Rebel Rouser” on American Bandstand (1958 or 9). Not only did Duane, 19, pioneer his twangy guitar, but he had a great band (I think they were called the Rockin’ Rebels), especially the hot sax of Steve Douglas Kreisman (who was replaced in ‘59 by a fine saxophonist with the perfect name, Jim Horn).
I liked this tune I Heard so long ago on the radio. He is a very good guitar player. Brings to me so many remembrances of the cowboy films I watched as a kid on the movies. Fine song. A delight to hear.
I'm in my 79th year, his guitar playing never gets old, takes me back to when I was young, handsome and had hair..cheers Duane.
me too
....and lead in my pencil.
Anyone that gives a thumbs down doesn't know much about music. I have listen to him sense I was a kid and I am now 70 years old. The first 45 record was done by him and my forst LP was done by him. I loved his music back then and still loved listening to him today.

Beats the heck out of today's so called music😊😊😊

I live in Yuma. Still nobody playing Duane on our stations. Shame.
So sorry for you.😢❤
Your brother does not remember having it because it sounds like he did not have it very long before it was "appropriated" by his kid brother.
I would think that album is now valuable.
I remember Duane Eddie usually played the acoustic guitar and even though I thought he was great I think he is undratderated today.
When I was a teenager in Phoenix in the 1950's and early 1960's I used to go to a local guitar shop in Maryvale and sit and listen/watch Duane Eddy and Jimmy Bowen play and sing. What sweet memories.
Duane Eddy is the American soul that was when America was a happy land to live in. He grew up at a right time. God blessed him with a gift that He knew would cause people to feel happy and tap their feet! God invented music... Duane was chosen for a good thing meant for all of us. Great music!
A very unexpected surprise! 😊
Thank you
Thumbs up 👍
When America was a happy land to live in... if you were white, and a man, and either right-leaning or silent about your political opinions.
OMG The old boy still got it!!!! Way to go Duane. Show these kids today. How a guitar is REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED!!!!! 5000stars plus!!! You Still Rock!!! God Bless!!
Just found an hour ago that he died, sad day. But also a day to celebrate the legend of Duane Eddy.
🎸
Thank you. I just found out too, which is why I'm here, listening!!
Who's watching in 2020? ME! The twang is STILL the thang!
It's so great to hear this again! Loved and love his music! And Ghost Riders has always been a BIG favorite of mine!! Over ALL thes many years that I've lived! ~ 4/19/2020
Fantastic, Never been bettered!!

Stays forever in the memory as one of the most beautiful of the classic songs and playing of its time - and I am old:-)))

Thisis one of those songs that you never want to end. Hours after listening to this video. I am still humimg it.
Ghost Riders in the Sky definitely one of my favorites❤
I never in my 72 years had the privilege & pleasure of attending one of his concerts or meeting him in person, but have always though of his music as beyond compare. From listening to his interviews, he also seems to be a first-rate individual as well. Thanks for everything, Duane.
Guitar genius! Captures the sound of America like nobody else! LOVE TO YOU DUANE AND RIP XXX
My first exposure to Duane Eddy live was on a package show in 1960...I was hooked by the incredible sound made by this modest man!
I first heard of him while working in a music store. I was playing a Jazzmaster through a Twin Reverb when another salesman came in and asked if I was trying to sound like Duane Eddy. I'd never heard of him until that day. Ever since then I've been a DE fan.
I was introduced to him by my cousin who served in Vietnam and I have loved him ever since and I am sixty nine now ♥️♥️
Great version. Rest in Peace Duane
A very Happy 86th Birthday... Duane Eddy April 26, 1938
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994
Many, many more Duane..
This aged well.
I saw him in 66' at the Teenage Fair. He came out with his guitar & jeans, ripped greasy tee-shirt & played "Secret Agent Man." RIP Duane Eddy.
I am a huge fan of Duane Eddy, he became popular in the late 50's, he was responsible for a lot of people becoming guitar players, sad that he's gone but he left us with a wonderful catalog of recorded music, I usually listen to something every day by Duane, RIP
Duane Edyys is one of the GREATEST guitarists that has ever lived. He has been my favorite for almost 50 years. May God bless him always .
A guitar god who doesn't dance all over the floor, he just stands there and plays!
Mick Taylor
The great ones never move. It's like they are in a trance from all the passion they are letting loose.
No gods but One God, the almighty one who created you and me and the entire earth sky and heavens❤
Love Duane Eddy.
I agree.
Another great musician that has gone to that fabulous band in the sky, he died a couple of weeks ago at 86, inspired thousands of guitarists including Brian May.
True legend the guitar 🎸 twanging man brilliant I am a Teddy Boy 🎼🎶 this man has wrote his name in the Rock n Roll hall of fame 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💥🎼🎶🎸
God bless you, Duane, and thank you for the music. RIP.
Have listened to Dwayne for 50 plus years , sounds terrific.!!!🇱🇷🇱🇷👏👏👏✝️✝️✝️👍👍👍🌹🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️💕💓💗
The absolute definition of evocative guitar playing. Makes the utmost use of the sound of that instrument. Pure vibe.
I have been a fan of Mr. Eddy's for decades and have many DE records and CD's....a super talented!!!!
Pure perfection. The silent moments, the clarity, the accoustics, the rhythm. WOW
Hello Kat, How are you doing?

Fantastic record...the sound from the sax is awesome ....60s were halcyon days...

Every note he plays is crystal clear!!! Very impressed! This is the best version of this song in my opinion!
RIP legend, I was born in 1960 and my parents were huge fans. Which easily made me a fan.
The very first note got me! That sound! So deep, rich, BIG! And the vibrato and reverb add the icing on the cake. Very few things in life are perfect. That sound is. I wouldn't touch any setting.

1m are suspicious to tether your how act.see got you.dont crying over genn when whould done give in let them .if do your part.then not be bug deal
So well behaved? They are clapping off the beat.
Because it's mostly a bunch of old folks in the audience. . .
@@codyhardy1129What? Please type that again in English.
We should've stopped it in it's tracks permanently when people started doing all that.
Fell in love with his music when I was in my early teens back in the 60's and the love is still still there....haven't heard anyone to come up to his speed at this point. He's still fantastic!!
Its true!!,
👌
kitty johnson he is so smooth. We have jam sessions and most have played for 30-40 years, but nothing like DE!
A fantastic artits / guitarist (86 years) !!!
A pioneer and influencer for the rock `n`Roll !!!
R.I.P. Duane Eddy
Whichever way you look at it, he earnt his colours and without a doubt earnt his fame, fan loyalty and quite frankly pretty much everything he recorded is timeless and can be shuffle played nearly endlessly without getting boring.

You can tell when you are getting old, when you remember it being in the top twenty in the 1960's.
Try remembering the '50s & up.
C’mon the old club😂😂
Yeah, I’m in this club too, this man was my inspiration for learning to play guitar.
60 years later, and I’m still enjoying playing ❤
Yeah you're right.
80 & still lovin' it.❤
Amazing instrumental version absolute fantastic .Vaughn Monroe is my all time favorite singer of this legendary song
Yes, 1950 or so era. Was/Is the best vocal rendition. This is phenomenal guitar playing from truly gifted artist. God bless both of their souls
He was part of the golden age in America. We had nothing to worry about but the atomic bomb and with music like that - the Abomb was nothing. We had music in our souls - in our spirit and it was kick assed good music.
One of my favorites, Duane has some very interesting recordings besides his rock hits.
Man he's got that thing turned in perfectly you couldnt ask for any better than that now could you.
Just a fantastic guitar player , clear , constructive , notes and rythums ; thank you

My husband love western movies and books. This version was his favorite song !
Saw him in the early 60's in Aberdeen SD and loved him ever since. ROCK ON!!
one of the best guitar man in the world ! when I listen to his music, I think: he is simply the best!
It's not how much you play it's how tasty you play and how much people enjoy it. Signature sound for sure and a great guy. Had the opportunity to back him up with our little band at a record hop in '59.
Awesome memory.
The sound of the Gretsch Guitar!!
Always quality over quantity*
Yes! Also tasty - Dead South, a tight band with their own sound and raving fans.
Many think this is a Gretsch guitar but it’s a Guild. Made for DE with single coil pu’s.
Only ONE note and he instantly destroyed all of those million-notes-per-second guys!
Brilliant, and he doesn't look like he"s in agony playing either, some guitarists look like they're having teeth pulled. Thanks for sharing
That's what you call inside love and feeling without outward appearance my friend!

Always been a fan and doubt that will ever change.
Nothin like hearing an old song on a beautiful guitar and edie playing. So clean.

Jim Pankey, ABSOLUTELY & THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS WELL!!! 🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is real music, love these guitars
I like this too. he is good at what he doing . thank you for showing this to us.
Hello Barbara, How are you doing?
Most guitar players that are good have a signature sound like Hendrix and Eddy, he was so awesome
A great version of this classic!

Let's not forget the version done by the Ramrods around 1960.
There is ONLY ONE Duane Eddy.....he does this tune with 'feeling' and so enjoyable, so differently done.
Saw him in concert in 1985 and he was amazing. Friendly, outgoing, and could do anything with that Guitar.
Ya know......there are times when I feel sorry for younger generations who have not experienced performers like Duene Eddy
Bob Rule, Jr. ABSOLUTELY WELL SAID l AGREE!!! His Rebel Rouser, Detour, etc. just don't get better than that.
Whoo, hoo! Rawhide! Duane Eddy....simply the best! Thank you!
I remember him from 50's. Totally awesome 🎸 guitar.
When I was little, my dad used to play this song on his guitar for me. I miss him.
First Album I ever bought was Rebel Rouser.
Many years later I was having lunch at the Hardrock Cafe in Nadhville
It was almost empty when I spotted the red vest he wore on that Album cover.
I asked the manager if that was the original he said yes and I was the first guy to actually identify it.
twang & sax, tough to beat that combo.....Duane is the king of twang...been listening to his music for almost 55+ years
Wow! I rember this great song, and Dwane Eddy!
As always with Duane Eddy music - perfect!
Duane Eddy, Burle Ives, Johnny Cash, the Outlaws, the Crickets, the Ramrods and many others covered this tune. I love every version I ever heard.
Not the Crickets. The Cricketettes !!!!
Always loved the baritone sound of instrumentals. That’s how I try to play, mainly because my hearing gets confused on sharp notes with being nearly dead in my left ear. Beyond that, it’s just so damn cool.
Great guitar player, and one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet! Rock on Duane!!❤
What a great performance!!! The great Duane Eddy!!! Thanks for the upload!!!
Thank you for your music. Sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
You go Duane. The absolute best.
Not overdone, or overplayed, every note in the right spot to achieve the overall beauty in a song.
The instrumental is one of my favorite versions, probably because I heard it first by Duane Eddy but the vocals with all that would be the greatest addition.
Grew up with his music. Was great back in the day and is still going strong.
this man was the reason i picked up a guitar back in the 50s and why my son now plays lead guitar in a rock and roll band.
RIP the great Duane Eddy
There was always magic in Eddy's music.
Brings back so many wonderful memories. Thanks so much
fantastic..one of the best guitar players of all time...an expert
One of the top best PLAYERS R.I.P. dear friend R. Watson
Love this guitar music by one of my favorite artists#!
When Duanne Eddy play this song, it gets holy as soon he grabs the guitar and tune :)
I love hes version on the song and hes style in general :)
I loved the "Good and the Ugly" hunted for so long. Brings back good old memories! 🤗
If you get the chance checkout The Good the Bad and the Ugly The Danish National Symphony Orchestra they are amazing.
