[@porscha901]

thanks mate a very twangy Christmas

[@gkvish]

Great !

[@porscha901]

spot on please could you do Atlantis and Foot tapper 2 of my favourites

[@suaragitar]

Thanks Andrew! I have done backing track for Atlantis, not yet done Foot Tapper. Will upload them when ready. Regards, Robby

[@danieldupuys2002]

Curiously the tone is perfect , done by the middle pick up, Hank use generaly the bridge one. This is due to the 58 Marvin Strat is différent in ton pick ups.

[@suaragitar]

Hank uses bridge pickup in the modern era since the 80s. But most of early Shadows recordings were played in middle and neck pickups, except a few tunes such as Apache, Wonderful Land, Shadoogie, and some others

[@Platon7161]

Perfect.

[@Mike-gi7tc]

You got the Hank tone!

[@suaragitar]

Many thanks Mike!

[@liten48]

u nailed that

[@petercousins4102]

Brilliant 10/10

[@johnnyangel3441]

[@demowest]

Hi Robby, your recording has a very authentic sound, apart from your brilliant playing. Excellent work., Best regards, Joachim

[@banjobunny19]

[@Kenneth81]

Wow what a play Sound Like hank wow Nice job

[@suaragitar]

Thanks Kenneth!

[@shadowtonio]

very good robbie, ,,,did you get your new glasses from Hank B. ???regards, tonio

[@CustomTaylor]

May I ask which string gauge you used here Robby ?

[@suaragitar]

Hi, they are 13-54 Rotosound grey

[@idomoshe6040]

I'm glad I found this channel, subscribed! Wonderful tones and playing. Would you mind sharing how you get this 'nasal' tone? It sounds almost like popping strings in bass guitar. I hear it here with the middle pickup and also in your 'Savage' cover, in the bridge pickup. Is this something with your picking? (like doing pinch harmonics but not quite?) the angle of the pick? Do you push the strings up with the pick so that they slap back to the neck? It this caused by some sort of delay? Do you use a slightly overdriven tone or completely clean? I'd appreciate any reply, thank you!

[@suaragitar]

Thanks for subscribing. What you are describing is correct. It is similar technique to the pinch harmonic but not quite to the point where the harmonics is generated. The second point is also correct, that it is some sort of slap with a lot of muting in the left fingers. The tone is clean, the saturation and the slight distortion come from the tube echo. I hope this helps.

[@idomoshe6040]

@@suaragitar Wow, thank you so much for your reply!!

[@mannyaco]

Awesome !!! The strings are flatwound 12 - 52 Rotosound?

[@suaragitar]

Yes that’s correct!

[@mannyaco]

Thanks a lot !!!

[@Colsoloact-po9wv]

Lovely version, beautiful Strat too. What is the backing track you're using? Genuine Shads?

[@georgemifsud1425]

vrey good mr all the way tns

[@redspecialdude1]

thats incredible the tone is that vintage shadows sound .how do you get it well done

[@darrelljebb5534]

Hi Robbie that was fab could u do Atlantis RegardsDarrell

[@suaragitar]

Thanks Darrell. I have done backing track for Atlantis, just to record lead guitar and video. Regards, Robby

[@Desaulnierspf]

Hi suaragitar , nice job ! I love the tone you get from the strings.I can get a good tone like that with new strings but it mellows shortly after a few days normaly. How old were the strings when you shot this video ? I think you said you use rotosound 13 56, is it still this on that video ? Thanks for answering

[@suaragitar]

hi Thanks so much. So it is still the same brand and gauges. My recent videos mostly played on 12-52 though. Robby

[@Desaulnierspf]

@@suaragitar How long do you keep them o the guitar , do you change strings every week ?

[@suaragitar]

@@Desaulnierspf no, not every week, more like every 3-6 months. If yours become dead sounding after only a few days, it's more likely problems with the nuts or the saddles, I am guessing

[@Desaulnierspf]

@@suaragitar my strings from 2 weeks ago are still good, I was using 10-46 before and now 11-50 ...i'm not sure the cheap wood of my slammer by hamer can handle 12-52. Anyway, it's better with the bigger strings they seam to last longer and i realized that i got to pick the strings and use the trem the right way to sound the way you do and hank does.

[@cinebblue-3498]

Excellent cover! What guitar are you using?

[@abdulrazakibrahim1476]

Fender startocaster Usa made@!

[@petercousins1645]

what strings do you use & what gauge ?

[@suaragitar]

Hi Peter, I use Rotosound strings 13-54. I hope it helps. Robby

[@370458]

What Pickaps are used in your Strat ? Is a Strat Standard American ?

[@suaragitar]
