Listening to the Beth Hart/Joe Bonamasa album this morning, this track is on it, been done many times, mostly very good blues versions but I think the DH version is the coolest.
Watched the Shadows final tour on Sky Arts Hank Marvin must have a portrait in his attic, he hasn't changed in about 40 years
Jessica, I had another look at this one yesterday. I skipped the intro though, which is the opening strumming - for several reasons, I'm shhite at strumming and it fooks up my left hand for the rest of playing due to arthritis. So I kick in from around 3.40 where it goes to the A Major arpeggio. It's nice clear instructions in this video, couple of bits I tend to adapt for my own preference, instead of playing the bend in the arpeggio I prefer just to play the note itself. I'm normally ok for bends but something about that one that don't feel or sound right, don't know why, just me...shame it was ever used for Top Gear and I feel it sounds better slowed down, depends on mood I suppose.
I've no idea, although I expect the top shape does fit more comfortably when sitting down with a guitar, whether a man or a woman. Although in both those positions of the woman in the picture, you are either going to end up with neck or back ache, because they are slumped.
Also I noticed neither are wearing a guitar strap, which is why you become slumped, because the guitar slides away from you on your leg. I no longer use a guitar strap either if sitting down.
Not been on in a while with me being away. Need to sort out the music in my local though sat with my headphones in.
