When you accidentally invent the fuzz bass solo

[Happy Jack]

For best effect, (1) play the whole song, (2) play it loud, (3) try to keep a straight face.

And yes, this is the actual single as released in 1961, unaltered.

Oh my actual God! 😲

Would you say that's the first ever "punk" single?? 😁

 has all the info. And is an interesting watch too.

[Sibob]

Fantastic, think it actually works really well! That's basically Prog for that era haha

Si

[operative451]

It'd be fun to speed that up, remix it with the bass going all the way through and then claim its an early Muse demo...

[Cato]

The surprise fuzz bass elevates an otherwise pretty generic ,forgettable tune.

As mentioned above there have got to be possibilities for sampling that bass and using it for purposes which could never have been foreseen back in 1961.

That opening note of the solo is just fantastic. As is the little reprise at the end.

[Norris]

That made me chuckle. Thanks

Haha - how did you come across this or is it already notorious and I just didn't know?

Genius!

Played by Grady Martin, probably one of the most prolific Nashville session men of the time, probably on a Baritone guitar.

Now him and Phil Baugh on stage together would have been interesting!

There is much debate that he didnt play the main guitar part on Train kept a rollin.

But he is all over those Johnny Burnette

Sessions in a big way.
