He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994,[3] and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2008.[4] Early life and career[edit] Eddy devised a technique of playing lead on his guitar's bass strings to produce a low, reverberant "twangy" sound. In November 1957, Eddy recorded an instrumental, "Movin' n' Groovin'", co-written by Eddy and Hazlewood.[2] As the Phoenix studio had no echo chamber, Hazlewood bought a 2,000 gallon water storage tank which he used as an echo chamber to accentuate the "twangy" guitar sound.

[citation needed] In 1958, Eddy signed a recording contract with Lester Sill and Lee Hazlewood to record in Phoenix at the Audio Recorders studio. In 1960 Eddy signed a contract directly with Jamie Records, bypassing Sill and Hazlewood. "Duane Eddy and the Rebels" became a frequent act on The Dick Clark Show. Later career[edit] In the 1970s, he produced album projects for Phil Everly and Waylon Jennings. Signature guitars[edit] Awards[edit] Discography[edit] Duane Eddy - Rebel-rouser.
