This song was originally recorded by Santo and Johnny, not the Ventures.

Thanks for the info. I know he uses a Space echo. I found one at Guitar Center in mint condition. Roland makes a new version which is pretty close, but the vibe of having vintage equipment is just too cool. Brian uses 2 Fender 59' Bassman amps to complete his sound.

Which original? The version I am familiar with is done by the Ventures, who copied off of someone else. I just think Satriani needs to what he does best and leave the old style and big band to Setzer.

Don't know if you'd call it a peal, but I believe he does use a Fulltone tape echo, a basic rockabilly tool.

I love Setz....talented guy.....plus he now lives in my home state..hehe. Much respect for sure. Great player....great guy.

SLides have there place in blues and for steel guitar (which was what the orignal was trying to imitate). I just think Setzer does a better job and certainly is a consummate showman. Slides are great for lots of southern rock and new country too. However, to get the sound and swell with just the volume knob and not sound "cheesy"- well that is why Brian is making the bucks and we're commenting on YouTube.

Simply the best there is! Check out the awesome volume swells around 3:00 and later on, no pedals boys! Just a man and his beautiful Gretsch 6120. Joe Satriani uses a slide (cheap). The aggressive leads 1:30-1:55 rock then the smooth leads on the neck pickup later are genius. I also love the natural tube feedback he gets off the amps toward the end. Just an awesome arrangement for the whole orchestra.

-1 for calling slides cheap, and for apparently knowing nothing about the original. Otherwise, +1!
