Using something a little different, my Gibson ES-175, the experts can work out the rest.

That was great fun Dave and well played
As to what gear, well it could be anything from an AC4 to an amp simulation on a Vox Tonelab or similar.

Thank you Paul and Roger for your comments.
The guitar was recorded straight into the computer using on board amp simulation and effects as Roger hinted at.
The hardest part of playing this live is jumping up into the air as we shout 'hoy' !

Hi Dave
must have had a sheltered life - never heard this before. Like many things, I suspect.
Great sound and ballsy playing too.
Loved it!
cheers

Only just played this - very good indeed. I only saw Ritchie Blackmore, Stu Taylor and Pussy Mew play this when they were with Lord Sutch's Savages!

That's when I first heard it, at the Black Cat Club in Sheffield, owned by Pete Stringfellow.
I never knew the name of the guitarist at that time, but he replaced a guy called Bernie Watson I think.
It was later when I heard Nero & The Gladiators version and bought the record.

Good stuff Dave!
There were a lot of instrumental group versions of classical and other music pieces chosen back in the day..Saturday Night at the Duck Pond, Hava Nagila, Czardas etc
A lead guitarist had to really work hard and learn to play properly then- no tricks like today...and the rhythm section had to be able to handle often complex arrangements, chord progessions,tempos and time signatures too..
Joe Brown, Bert Weedon, Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Moretti, the Ventures and many others come to mind...and of course, Hank and the boys too, with their film and TV themes..
Making the records would at least have allowed more takes to get it right, but playing such things live on stage and pulling it off would have been a triumph!
