[@dansolo2253]

I was taught to play bass by Jet Harris. I got to play on stage with him a few times, too. He would roll the volume on his bass down for sound check, so he could turn it back up during his set when he wanted a bit more volume. We did a bass duel during a performance of Nivram once and he absolutely destroyed me.

The shadows were actually said by Tony Iommi a band he listened to often and learned their songs early on into playing guitar, so i guess they are dark and mean to have indirectly inspired heavy metal

[@MichaelWinter-ss6lx]

Blackmore also played that stuff early on.

Without getting anywhere near the credit they deserve The Shadows are quietly the most influential band in British music history!

[@mrknobchopps]

That you Hank?

[@michaelbrain3820]

Well they called themselves the shadows ...

[@nyobunknown6983]

They get more credit than you think. Almost every British guitarist of the 60s from Richards to Clapton and Blackmore give the Shadows as an influence. It was the Shadows in Britian and the Ventures in the US. I also think the Ventures and Shadows influenced each other. I know the Ventures covered some of their songs.

[@geoffw1209]

Even Greg Lake cited the Shadows as an influence. Hank Marvin was a hero of his.

[@EdVanMeyer]

Absoloutely!!

[@Krzyszczynski]

Nicknamed "Jet" because he was an ace sprinter at school (100 yards in 10 seconds). Later lost any athletic capability through chain-smoking, an addiction he was never able to get under control, and which eventually killed him. The piece he's playing from 0:19 to 0:28 is called The Man From Nowhere, in a clip from the film Just For Fun (in which he also partnered Tony Meehan, singing Doin' The Hully Gully).

[@markbuerkjr4237]

The first 4 notes of that solo were insane 😆... thanks

[@patdzon]

I was like did the music cut out 😅

[@meekrob]

Fun fact: Jet Harris and Shadows drummer Tony Meehan were the original rhythm section for the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart.

[@user-tv2bz2ci6b]

You beat me to it! Ron Wood did a great job though

[@maddog8621]

[@civilwildman]

Fact: The late Sir Christopher Lee (pictured behind Sir Roger Moore in that clip from “The Man With The Golden Gun”) was a British spy during WW2 and was a major inspiration for his cousin Ian Fleming’s legendary character James Bond.

[@randychadwick3776]

I really like these longer clips. Off the chain and educational. What are the chances. Great content!!

[@anthonycraig1458]

Good to see Jet get some recognition. I played with him a number of times in the early 90s at a regular pub jam session I used to go to. It was particularly pleasing some years later to see him do a proper theatre tour of the UK and deservedly play to bigger audiences who were pleased to see him.

[@bandacanteiros]

Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching

[@professornuke7562]

The ShadowHead bit was GREAT! I'm sure people did hear it that way back in the day. Remember, Cliff Richard used have the teen girls screaming, and fainting and wetting the seats in the auditorium. Little did they know.......

[@hobbayne]

Fact. Nivram was the first British electric bass solo. It is also Hank Marvin spelt backwards. (Without the Hank) 😅

[@MirlitronOne]

Maybe it should have been called "Tej" then?

Banging version of FBI fella. Put a full version on here if possible please.

[@matthewblanchard9301]

Jet Harris and Tony Meacham had a #1 hit with a song called 'Diamonds' in January 1963. It was recorded in November 1962, it had an 18yr. old guitarist named Jimmy Page playing acoustic rhythm guitar on it. It was Page's first introduction into the world of British Session Music which he excelled in, and a few years down the road after getting much better he made a name for himself first with the Yardbirds and later with a little band called Led Zeppelin....🎸

[@rockerjim8045]

I quite like little old Led Zeppelin

[@matthewblanchard9301]

@@rockerjim8045 I like all of Led Zeppelin A - to - Z, but I still believe in their debut album Led Zeppelin recorded in 30hrs. in early October 1968(Oct. 1 & 2 I think?) Released in the U.S. on 01/12/69 & in the U.K. on 03/17/69. This first album set the stage for what they became. Led Zeppelin II was a 'monster', Led Zeppelin IV was their 'masterpiece' and Physical Graffiti was their 'opus'. But that first album when I heard that day it came out, I was 15, had already seen Page with the Yardbirds twice, first time with Beck still in the band September '66 & October 67 just with Page, Relf, Dreja and McCarty. That show was the first time I heard 'Dazed and Confused', same music but different lyrics. When I heard it again on the first album I just melted into that song, it had morphed into a sonic odyssey. That whole album was a game changer for music itself and how music was recorded and package and with Peter Grant he helped changed how artist were paid for their music and put the promoters in their place to not rip - off artist. Led Zeppelin, changed everything with that first album. 🎸🎤🎸🥁

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

At 18 years old, the drummer Tony Meehan (not Meacham) was already an old hand. When he played on the Shadows' first No. 1 hit, Apache, he was just 15. Back then, the school leaving age in the UK was 14, and I'm not sure the successive increases have really benefited the nation.

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

it was The Shadows (20 golden greats album) that got me interested in guitar to begin with.

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

Me too, in 1977.

[@fernandogarajalde4066]

“Jet” Harris (we’re both ♋️ Cancer-born and BEHS players 😎) must be the subliminal influence that inspired Jack Bruce to take up the Fender VI in the first incarnation of Cream. Also why I’m tempted to bring my Fender VI out from the back of my storage shed as well. 😎🎸

[@eddie.cainen]

Do it...

[@Krzyszczynski]

Jack Bruce was playing a six-string bass (dunno if it was a Fender VI) before starting up Cream. He had one during his time with the Graham Bond Organisation, and you can hear him doing a solo on it in their live recording of Big Boss Man.

[@zubrycky]

The Shadows influenced Black Sabbath as well. There's a shadows tribute CD with Tony Iommi on it.

I met Jet and had a chat at his 70th birthday celebration at Weston-super-mare. He was so down to earth as you'd expect.

[@Fl4ppers]

The Shadows were one of my fave bands after my Punk cousin and Aunt got me into them in the 80s. The very first Beatles album is full of Shadows style of sound, too.

[@vernonbear]

My first ever ‘proper’ gig. Cliff Richard at Manchester Apollo, 1981. Had been to plenty of folk gigs but that was my first experience of the whole lights, volume, venue type stuff, blew my tiny 7 year old mind. Obviously my Mum was a huge fan of Cliff so that’s why we were there. Must repay her at some point, time for her to appreciate something more aggressive… Still have a quiet little place in my heart for Cliff and the Shadows, just alongside my Metallica, Wildhearts, Southern River Band section 🤘😀

[@robbiefstrains9083]

Great video Danny! I’m a big Jet fan too and was lucky enough to meet him after a gig at Harrow Arts Centre - maybe 15 years ago. He always had a lot of time for the fans and despite his moody stage persona, he was a very funny guy and an absolute gentleman. A Diamond, you might say! My favourite tunes include; Big Bad Bass, Again, Scarlett O’Hara and of course Nivram. Keep ‘em coming, Danny!

Thank you for the video. That was some interesting info. I never knew who Jet Harris was and that he played with the Shadows. It’s amazing how one person could influence so many other bassists and have the lifestyle of many rock stars, beginning in the early ‘60s. You always learn something new every day even about people who played bass all the time.

My vote for first badass bass player is James Jamerson, who played on most of Motown's hits.

[@kingstumble]

Jet Harris was my main reason for taking up bass rather than guitar. Nivram nearly blew my young mind and he looked so cool! My first bass was a Framus Star Bass although at that time I didn't know he had played one. I bought it because I couldn't afford a Fender.

[@humboldthammer]

The Shadows were the pre-Fab 4 they kept the Beatles out of the charts from 1959-63, music did not start in 1963.

[@Ted_James]

Man With the Golden Arm. 1955 movie starring Frank Sinatra. His character was an ace (pun intended) card dealer (hence the Golden Arm) who also happened to have an "H" problem, if you know what I mean. The movie explored that. His character's name was Frankie Machine, which would be a great name for a punk band. Pretty edgy for 1955. Fantastic jazz/big band soundtrack.

Too many people queuing up to try and be the first one to say "no no no it's wasn't John Entwistle..". Jet was a bassist in a hugely influential band. A legendary band. But he did not push the bass guitar forward. He played bass well within its then constraints.
