You are one of two of the very best covers. Nearly absolutely perfect here. You really enjoy playing what you do and it shows. There are those musicians who play effortlessly, but show no passion or have no personality. This makes a huge difference.
@@suaragitar Hello from Russia.We have an old movie - "The Beginning".- "Начало".Everyone here loves him.The Russians first heard this tune there. Take a look.Just for fun.
GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOUR MOTHER GOD BLESS YOUR FATHER AND GOD BLESS EVERY ONE WHO RECOGNISE YOUR TALEND MY FRIEND,YOU PLAY ALMOST BETTER THAN...THE ORIGINAL VERSION,THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART BECAUSE THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG WHEN I WAS YOUNG,NOW I AM 62 YEARS OLD...BE WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliantly played dude.. you nailed every aspect of the tune right down to your guitar tone and echo effects you used.. Loved it!! Btw, how eleven people dislike this is beyond me.. unless they are jealous!!
Robby...I noticed you really seem happy playing this tune....never seen you smile so much....beautiful mysterious yet happy melody.... more Shadows please.
I really think your cheating ... your really Hank in disguise .... absolutely awesome playing, I've been playing for years and can't get anywhere near your standard, keep 'em coming ... I've watched / listened to this many times, never fails to amaze me ... thanks so much.
you got the right guitar, echo sound and the right playing, everyone can hear that this song, sounds amazing as the original from The Shadows. Well done !!!
Bài này mình đã nghe được khi đi dạo ở Tp Quảng Ngải năm 1962, thời đó ko hề có chiến tranh, đại dịch như bây giờ, lúc đó còn chưa có máy cassette Mono chứ đùng nói Sterro. Máy phát bằng một ampli San Sui có 2 cặp sò khủng 3055 cơ. Bây giờ 70 tuổi, mới biêt tên bài hát là The Rocket Man ( tạm dịch là : Hỏa tiễn nhân, nhưng hiểu là Phi hành gia thì hay hơn ) Trong các thu âm của The Spotnicks, bài này rất được yêu thích, không hiểu sao lại ít xuất hiện ở các Album chọn lọc !
Absolutely nailed this one , I'm in complete ore of your playing , its as good as Marvin, and better now because he doesn't get thatcsound any more , well done again
Of course we have enjoy man. You've performanced it reaching a perfect level. And the most important you was playing with this smile that indicates that your soul goes among these flowting notes. Congrats
Hi Robbi, after listening and watching many many guitar players...you are the BEST. No difference whith the same Hank....👍👍👍 Best regards from Spain. Enrique
suaragitar I haven't done any for a while with doing other things but I hope to do some more recording again very soon. I am very well at the moment thank you and hope that you are too. Kind regards Roger

Fabulous...I'm a big fan Robby. Love the Shads and your versions. I closed my eyes and could hardly tell the difference between you and HBM. Great stuff
Bravissimo ! You perform it "relax" as it should be . One of your late post (The Storm / The Hunters) inspired me a few years ago to post my own rendition with the group "Flashback".
I have decided yours is the best cover to date. Strangely enough you have mastered all the difficult areas while a few simple corrections prevent this from being the perfect cover. The original bass line is just as interesting on the backing track.
Just for a bit of fun, I tried the app "Shazam" on this performance. It identified it as Man of Mystery by the Shadows throughout, with the exception of the "solo", which it identified as Man of Mystery by Robbie Januarsa :-) . This suggests 2 things: 1) your fame is spreading as Shazam knows who you are, and 2) you have work to do on the middle section! Only kidding. An amazing performance and the closest to the original 45 I have ever heard. Bravo!!
Hi Cliff, haha I never knew that. That is interesting, I will try Shazam later on, that is a flattering result indeed. I have my latest video of me demoing a few Shads' tunes, and it was blocked in America for copyright reason, I am guessing that youtube algorithm thinks that they are the original versions, so they have been fooled lol. Anyway, thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated
A great track, it always sounds atmospheric when it has the right amount of echo, I think it was one of the best early Shadows tracks, also a favourite is Unchained Melody off Me and my Shadows with Cliff, Hank's guitar through the Selmer Truvoice is one of the best sounds he ever achieved.
That was absolutely 100% flawless. I challenge any die-hard Shadows fan to find the slightest fault with that. Perfect.
You are too kind. Much appreciated. Love the Labrador in the picture by the way, gorgeous!
Best cover version so far. Flawless

The best cover of Man of Mystery I have heard. Well done to you.
OH MAN! I closed my eyes whilst listening to this and for me YOU ARE HANK! This must be the closest anyone will ever get to being perfect. Tremendous!
Thanks Jaray. You are very kind! Much appreciated!
@@suaragitar Fantastic! Only thing missing is Hanks bum note near the end. Ha! Ha!
