Forty Miles Of Bad Road
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:04 pm
Recently I acquired one of the new Duane Eddy Gretsch Guitars, G6120DE. It is a stunningly beautiful guitar. The color, they call it Desert Sunrise, but it is a perfect fit. Duane will always be a big Chet Atkins fan, as we all are. I hear that Chet didn't care for the dynasonic pickups, and I also heard that he said that Duane was the only one that could get a good tone out of them. Personally, I liked the tunes that Chet played on his first guitars with the dynasonics and I liked the way he sounded. Of course, Chet always sounded good, no matter what he played.
This tune, Forty Miles Of Bad Road, is strictly a Duane Eddy tune. I used a professional backing track, not my own, but the incredible tone of the guitar comes through. It sustains forever. The amp is my Parkel 25L15. I am working on a couple of Chet tunes that I will post later, but I hope it is okay for me to share this one with you.
Thanks so much.
