How To Play APACHE - The Shadows (Plus free charts!)

APACHE by The Shadows is the track that prompted many of the world’s greatest guitarists to go out and buy a guitar. Played by the wonderful, Hank Marvin, Apache is a track everyone should learn.

You're a breath of fresh air on KZbin Rob! I love your casual - (but thorough) - approach, and listeninng to your commentary on the songs you teach is the icing on the cake for me. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you talking and teaching even if I already know the song. I'm sure you bring a lot of joy to people watching your channel, so keep doing what you do and I wish you lots of luck and good health.

[@ManuelEscalante-ys6rr]

Thanks a Lot bro for your help😊

[@andyturner4945]

Loved this, you made it so east to understand, I’ve tried books but it just doesn’t sink in.But this clip works brilliant. Thanks.

[@MsDenver2]

Your ever so good at teach because I have not much confidence since my stroke as I’ve had to learn things again so I can’t play guitar as good as I could 20 years ago. So I really appreciate your kindness and the work you put in giving us access to the written notes thankyou.😊

[@rogerlill]

Thank you very, very much, I've tried to watch other tutors, but they were analysing the fourth pentatonic scale in the fifth millennium in Greek so I gave up. You just explain and show, simply and clearly, how to play it. Brilliant Rob, you are the man.

[@a.kultanen212]

Thank you for your lesson. Now I can learn to play it. 74 yer old man from Finland🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@2011littlejohn1]

Every British rock guitar player of my age group can play this. :) (I'm 82).

[@richardfalconer8682]

Great lesson Rob,could you please do some more Shadows hits?

[@yonistutzen830]

Thank you Rob! Apache just great, (i am) lucky to be old enough to appreciate

[@donroberts920]

Fantastic, one of the first lessons I had years ago., still love playing It. Any of the Shadows instrumentals would make great lessons. I also think Boom Boom and Smokestack Lightning would go down well too. Absolutely love you lessons. Without a doubt the best lessons on KZbin Thanks from an old git (70 years old) still loving playing guitar and ukulele

[@kevinbodnar448]

Thanks Bob for sharing your talent

[@davidthompson5153]

Thanks!

[@alanjohnston2743]

Thanks

[@MsDenver2]

I knew Hank for a while and I played Apache on stage with my friend, he played backing and I played lead . I remember it well because after we came of stage we both said at the same time what key was you in and we were in two different keys but I think we played that badly the audience didn’t notice lol😊

Good one Rob. How about Rumble by Link Wray? I like that one more than all the others. Great story on him too.

[@timleem3609]

[@davebishop1516]

Rob you are brilliant, you have the best way of explaining how to play in a simple manner with oy all the Bull I usually panatomics! and other useless words that you are just not interested in when you are trying to learn a new tune. Thank you for this one, I am just struggling tor download a backing track I'm 74 years old and not very literate in downloading anything.

[@stringmantony]

[@darrenjones491]

[@paulcroome1311]

Brilliant thanks.

[@marilynking6535]

Neat History, good memories I am sure ❤ kinda like Willie Nelson favorite guitar, HA YOURS IN ALOT BETTER SHAPE , NO HOLES 🎸🎶🎵🎼😊

[@simbaleo8293]

Thank you very much for this great lesson. The song is one of my favorites. Rhythmical not easy to play but you explained it very well. I have one suggestion: If you play on an e-guitar could you please tell us your setup on the amplifier you are using. The sound is very important, i think. We all want to sound authentic.

[@fennahrob6934]

Set up for Apache is clean sound; repeat delay and some reverb. 🎸

[@GaryBook]

I love the guitar and I am glad you held onto it.

[@charlesclarke3923]

Hi Rob. Can you tell me how and what I need to get the shadows sound that you use on the Apache lesson. I love the way you teach and try to learn from your videos. I live in Warrington so can’t come for private lessons. Keep up the good work for old geezesrs like me. Thanks a bunch.

[@michaelturner5443]

Legend has it that Jerry London played it to hank Marvin and jet Harris on a banjo

[@2011littlejohn1]

I heard it was a ukulele.

[@kenmarsden1851]

Love your lessons Thanks Could I ask you to do Meet meon the steps of the bombed out church by silent sleep please I can't find it anywhere Thanks

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

ok Thanks Rob ---got it loaded. --50 years had it all wrong --now its ok --appreciate !

[@JeanQuirin-u5o]

Hi Rob I would like you to teach me to play guitar I'm 63 years old retired my wife has bought me an acoustic n a electric guitar I have seen you on utube an you have a magical way of teaching and laughter .how do I join. I'm able to play open cord n bare cord need improvement. I like blues, 50 60 music rock nroll slow music thank you await your response

[@alanattfield7174]

What about having a go at Everlasting Love. By Love Affair

[@paulgibbins271]

Hi Rob - I just bought my first electric guitar (Jet JS-300) and am going to have a go at this. Did you use any specific settings on your AMP to try to get that sound?

[@jacko717]

Nice guitar, I have the same. Clean amp, with some delay and reverb will get you in the ball park; if you have a Vox amp (or a Vox style pedal) even better.

[@kevb6313]

Was having a go at this on bass a couple of weeks ago but will defo be having a go at this at the weekend- but every time you say Hank Marvin I feel like making a butty or something

[@robertolira9843]

Thank you for your videos. I can play a few chords do you think at the age of 66 I will be able to learn to play the guitar ?

[@craigmoonmoon6112]

Top Banana..cheers

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Just have not got that 50,s Hank Marvin tone ---but I keep trying !

[@John-ob7dh]

I was taught to play it way way back in 1960 by a very young Albert Lee.

[@fennahrob6934]

And what a fine guitarist Albert is. 👍🏻

[@John-ob7dh]

@@fennahrob6934 He was just starting to learn when I met him in 1959

[@JeanQuirin-u5o]
