Duane Eddy, twangy guitar icon of early rock, dead at 86
Fox News
Duane Eddy, a pioneering guitarist who began making music in the 1950s, succumbed to his battle with cancer on April 30. The rock n' roll musician was 86.
Eddy paved the way for a new generation of guitarists by focusing on the bass strands on the guitar versus the high ones. During his career, Duane sold more than 100 million copies and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"I had a distinctive sound that people could recognize and I stuck pretty much with that. I’m not one of the best technical players by any means; I just sell the best," Eddy told The Associated Press in a 1986 interview. "A lot of guys are more skillful than I am with the guitar. A lot of it is over my head. But some of it is not what I want to hear out of the guitar."
