Brian Setzer

[Suhnton]

I didn't realize Brian Setzer could play so well. I think Ron McDonald wants his shoes back though.

I was practising Stray Cat Strut this week in my own little way , not quite enough to make me wanna go out and buy a Gretsch though , I just have`nt got the hair anymore.

Setzer is the modern twang King. I love his versions of Sleepwalk.
Only thing I don't like about him is how the prices of vintage Gretsches always permanently spiked when he'd get a cover shot!

He is one of my favorites for sure, and I would like to have one of those big Gretsches some day! I checked out the asian made ones that have been going for about $600 USD, and they seem pretty nice!

If you mean the 5120's, oh yeah baby... they are pretty nice

Oh, US list on these babies is a cool $1000 for 2009, so if you see one for around $600 I'd grab it if I were you :AOK:

Yep, you know the one I mean. That was the price last time I was in a shop carrying them last summer, but I wondered if they were going up since it seems other brands are raising prices. Well regardless, not in the cards now. But someday, a "big orange guitar" like Brian says might find a way into the herd.

Got two DVDs at home, Stray Cats at Brixton Academy and X-Mas concert with the BS Orchestra. I love Setzer's playing, it's a huge Blues, Jazz and Rockabilly melting pot. Plus if you watch the bonus material on the X-Mas DVD you see that Setzer wrote all the arangements...this guy is darn cool.

Ditto. I can remember some time back SVL and I posted a few of Brian's youtube clips on here. Definitely get the fingers clicking and feet tapping.

A bit of happy feet.
