In most of my latest Shadows covers and tutorials I use an American Special Fender Stratocaster guitar, the color is candy red. It comes with Texas Special pick-ups and has a beautiful 9.5 mm neck radius and jumbo frets. It’s a wonderful instrument to perform with for all genres of music, I find it works particularly well with Hank’s songs. To get my sounds I generally use a software called Guitar Rig 5 and start by putting some compression.I then add two types of delay, one short and one long. The finishing touch is usually a little bit of hall reverb.
I can easily teach you first hand what you will need in order to get these tones with my online skype tuition.

The Shadows are a British instrumental rock group, and were Cliff Richard’s backing band from 1958 to 1968, (though they have collaborated again on numerous reunion tours). The Shadows have placed 69 UK charted singles from the 1950s to the 2000s, 35 credited to the Shadows and 34 to Cliff Richard and the Shadows. The group, who were in the forefront of the UK beat-group boom, were the first backing band to emerge as stars. As pioneers of the four-member instrumental format, the band consisted of lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar and drums. Their range covers pop, rock, surf rock and ballads with a jazz influence.
The core members are Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett. The sound was produced by Fender and Burns guitars, amplifiers by Vox and echo units Meazzi Echomatic tape and Binson magnetic disc.[clarification needed] The Shadows, with Cliff Richard, dominated British popular music in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the years before the Beatles. Although they lost ground in the late ’60s, the band had a second success from the late ’70s.
The Shadows are the third most successful act in the UK singles chart, behind Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard. The Shadows and Cliff Richard & the Shadows each have had four No.1 selling EPs.
The band was made up of the following members:
Hank Marvin – lead guitar
Bruce Welch – rhythm guitar
Jet Harris – bass
Tony Meehan – drums
