Duane Eddy, twangy guitar hero of early rock, dead at age 86

NEW YORK — Duane Eddy, a pioneering guitar hero whose reverberating electric sound on instrumentals such as"Rebel Rouser" and"Peter Gunn" helped put the twang in early rock 'n' roll and influenced George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen and countless other musicians, has died at age 86.

With his raucous rhythms, and backing hollers and hand claps, Eddy sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and mastered a distinctive sound based on the premise that a guitar's bass strings sounded better on tape than the high ones. "Twang" defined Eddy's sound from his first album,"Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel," to his 1993 box set,"Twang Thang: The Duane Eddy Anthology."

About"Rebel Rouser," he told the AP:"It was a good title and it was the rockest rock 'n' roll sound. It was different for the time."
