Duane Eddy, the most successful and influential instrumentalist in Rock and Roll history, is the man who added a new term to the American music dictionary -
TWANG. The sound he created, using his trademark red Gretsch guitar, was easily indentifiable and uniquely his own. Combining strong, dramatic, single-note melodies, along with bending of the low strings, he produced a sound that was unlike anything yet heard - the sound that would be featured on an unprecedented string of thirty-four chart singles and sales of over 100 million worldwide.
Effectivement Duane Eddy semble être le précurseur du "twang". J'ai toujours cru qu'il s'agissait du son caractéristique, un peu nazillard et tordu, produit par un simple bobinage (ex: le sample du site fender pour le télé us )...je ne savais pas qu'il s'agissait d'un "style" musical.
Comme quoi on en apprend toujours plein de truc sur ce forum
c'est pour ça que j'ai un peu "tappé sur le clou"... maintenant ceux qui veulent parler de "twang" concernant le son du micro aiguê d'une Telecaster, je ne vais pas les en empêcher... je donne un avis, qui peut être confirmé par tous les grands guitaristes actuels... puisqu'ils furent tous influencés par Duane Eddy le premier "guitar hero"...
That “Twangy Guitar” heritage and influence was passed on to bands of the British Invasion, Creedance Clearwater Revival, Dave Edmunds, Steve Earle, Chris Isaak and its influence can be heard on Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run and the Beach Boys’ Surfin’ USA. The next generation of guitar stars that would herald Eddy’s influence include Ry Cooder, Hal Blaine and Arlen Roth. In 1983 Duane played a series of concerts in a California club and, as the case with the Beatles years earlier, the lines to see him trailed around the block. Among the notables attending his performance were Jeff Beck, Lindsey Buckingham, Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Tom Petty, Lee Ritenour and Ron Wood.
They had come to pay homage to the man who put the guitar in their hands.
A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo... but doesn't !
