Rumble/Rawhide (Link Wray Medley)

[@larrypower8659]

I am breaking out serious grins here! This is the shit! Those of us “of a certain age” started out with this golden era of guitar instrumentals. Link Wray, Duane Eddy, The Ventures, the Surf bands, then to Chuck Berry and The Beach Boys … Oh. My. God. This stuff is brilliant, and you are playing it so well. Thank you for all these amazing videos. At 75 and teaching guitar, along with still performing live, people deserve to hear where guitar rock and roll came from. THIS IS WHERE!!!

[@bradysmith3400]

Honestly, I hate adding to my likes because it’s harder to find those videos. I’m gonna start liking everything you do. Because you should be followed by so many more! Everything I rewatch, I will like

[@bradysmith3400]

You’re the man doing it. And honestly, I’m more of a heavy metal guy. But, I love all this great old songs and I’m not sure I would even remember them if not for you.

[@MichaelBCoats]

Hit save and create a file for Tom's videos. That way you can find them quickly.

[@1Andelina1]

Great job! Link would be proud.

[@sgd5k292]

Another awesome cover! I just can't keep up with your prolific, no, a deluge, of songs you post. Rumble was my first attempt at learning a song on guitar back in the '60's.and I actually had forgotten it until now.Thanks for bringing it back!

[@duanespeare7825]

Just love how simple but powerful Rumble is! Combined with Rawhide, what a great opener to get people’s attention! Thanks Mr. Conlon for making my music life way better! Duane 🇨🇦

[@dwightbernhimer6734]

Thanks so much Tom... You hit it out of the park Again...

[@gordonwessels7065]

WOW! Mr Tom Conlon SIR you rock. I have been trying to play along for a long time. This one blew my Sox off. Thank you so much for all of the videos you have posted.

[@livejay9062]

You caught the tone and swing as good as it can get! Excellent

[@allanhayes284]

As always I’m mesmerized by your impeccable timing and emotions that you’re able to bring to each and every gift you record for us. I have been trying to locate a fender jazz master guitar for ages but to no avail. I try but fall short in trying to emulate your masterful playing. You also have a great voice! Thank you for your sharing of your talent🙏🏻

[@williamwarlick3497]

Tom, brother this is simply damn fabulous. I can't say much more than thank you man.

[@jbudgie]

Great, love a bit of Link.

[@teent0mt0m]

Hugely enjoyable! Great stuff again Tom; please keep ‘em coming!

[@leamanc]

Great choice of songs, great playing (as always)!

[@tomference4618]

Awesome!

[@raymyhill2]

Very effective Link Wray gets to the point no messing about plus great playing Tom.

[@LostSpringBand]

Just what the doc ordered on this grey morning! Thanks a million Tom!

[@BAC54746]

Impeccable Tom🤘

[@litup6465]

Thank you Tom - I am learning so much from your videos and am starting my daughter (who finally picked up her guitar and has seriously caught the bug) on them too - after decades of various books and videos, your tabs are simply the best and most fun way to learn rock and roll!

[@fadetoblack8029]

You are master Tom, Link Wray is God, this song are very good melodies

[@istemihanvarisli]

Dear Tom, this is awesome :) Kudos and thanks.

[@Pappysan]

Absolutely nailed that tone!

[@johnthelad]

Really enjoyed this one Tom. Sounded great. Appreciate the the TAB you include, makes it extra enjoyable to learn.

[@donjoefonzarelli9785]

That was choice. I see you play the open high E on your D chord on Rumble. I was doing it wrong. Cheers

[@edekbojac8155]

Fantastic medley, to perfection. Thank You. More Link Wray? How about "The Earth is Crying"?

[@PatrickSmith-zu3qj]

This is what keeps me coming back! Your site is excellent! I have a suggestion, the John Fogerty tune, ''Don't you wish it were true" would be an excellent guitar piece, especially the solo he so expertly lays down. Give it a listen, if you haven't already. You could do it justice.

[@dphotos007]

Look like I have a twang lesson this week. Thanks again Tom.

[@mattjohnson6916]

Another fantastic cover, Tom! I love hearing Jimmy Page talk about Rumble in 'It Might Get Loud'

[@matssundstrom9798]

You really nailed the tone!

[@jeffhussey6049]

Thanks again Tom! Helped me learn a couple old instrumental classics!

[@NorbertVarga]

Absolutely amazing!

[@brucejones8047]

Wang Dang brutha man! Tearin it up!

[@Jameskeith1972]

Thanks for these. This is the intro song for the set for the tribute band I'm starting.❤

[@jeffhussey6049]

Another amazing and excellent cover! Well played! ( literally) I’ve been wanting to learn rumble and just haven’t hadn’t got to it… thanks Tom!

[@Tonymaable]

Another nice guitar performance.👍🎸👏🙏. Btw sir,can you play The Ventures Raw Hide ? Thanks.Cheers.

[@Brian_Vallejo]

So smooth as always 😎

[@slippinjimmy6511]

Very well done sir!

[@douglaslingle3802]

Keep bringing it Mr. Bruce! I've been working on some Beach Boys music here lately and your timing is prefect coming out with this!

[@douglaslingle3802]

My bad Mr. Tom, I thought you was Mr. Bruce cause I stay on top of ya'lls videos!

[@foxyjazzbopper]

[@marconberaldo1346]

Cheers from São José dos Campos, Brazil I hope you'll keep up the this supergreat work, Tom How about your version of Route 66?

[@michaelw6277]

If anybody is wondering how to get that tone in ‘Rumble’ it’s not too hard if you have a valve amp… dime the volume and gain, and if possible scoop the mids a bit. My cheapo Bugera v5 with a cheap Jensen speaker and an EQ pedal does it surprisingly well with a Jazzmaster on bridge. If you have an amp that breaks up at lower volumes the key is to keep the volume and gain set the same, to my ears having one higher than the other doesn’t sound quite right.

[@sergeybogdanovich7019]

Super ❤️🙏🎵🍀🎼🎶🎸✌️🍀👌🇮🇱love

[@timjames72]

YEAH MAN !!!!!

[@DantesPancea]

It's unbelievable how everytime I only think of a song then you post a vid playing it... 🤯🤯. Could you please play "son of rumble" by Link Wray ? I love it so much and I can't find a tab

[@사막의보헤미안]

the spotnicks "last space train "/ the ventures "woolly bully "///부탁드립니다

[@gerrysongs4170]

I was messing with Starry Night on the keyboard and thought it would make a great surf song for you.

[@MrVintagetony]

Ace...

[@BAC54746]

👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@schneideranton639]

Hi Tom, thanks for the great playing. Is there a backing track available? Best regards Tony Schneider

[@house9850]

Tom got almost no errors on the first take.

[@tomcon21]

Almost

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Great stuff! Really cool, like all your lessons. I keep forgetting Tom is that a 2011 Fender Jazz Master?

[@tomcon21]

2014 Classic player

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

@@tomcon21 Thank you! Sounds awesome!

[@lorenzodegani2669]

A richiesta Guitar Twist the Ventures.. se puoi fantastikkkkk Ok

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

😁 Like deployed 👍

[@Ben_the_Ignorant]

It sounds like a precursor to AC/DC.

[@chrisscovitch7237]

AND YET LINK WRAY HAS THE TOUGHEST TIME GETTING NOMINATED IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ? SOMEONE'S NOT PAYING ATTENTION.....?

[@tomcon21]

Completely agree

[@randyshaw2706]

Back in the day this instrumental was considered the Devil’s music and was actually banned in some places! Lol

[@mitchgawlik1175]

As good as Rumble is, and it's pretty good, I need to hear it by Link only. No offense intended, Tom.

[@romanborysiuk5910]

D sus gives it more attitude
