R.I.P. Duane Eddy

[RayF]

Duane Eddy passed away yesterday at 86years old. He's the reason I wanted to play guitar back in 1965. “Rebel Rouser” was the song that I just had to learn. I played it in high school and formed a little band. Who can't listen to that song and not say - “that's cool!” We lost a real rock & roll guitar icon.

Raunchy (like Bill Justis) guitar at its best.
A true pioneer.

Yeah, Duane Eddy and Link Wray were two of my early favorites.
