Duane Eddy, the pioneering rock guitarist known for his instrumental 'twang', died on Tuesday at the age of 86.

The Grammy-winning musician passed away from cancer in Franklin, Tennessee, surrounded by family, according to wife Deed Abbate.

'Duane inspired a generation of guitarists the world over with his unmistakeable signature 'Twang' sound,' a rep told Variety. 'He was the first rock and roll guitar god, a truly humble and incredible human being. He will be sorely missed.'

The musician gained fame with a string of instrumental hits in the late '50s and early '60s including the theme to TV series Peter Gunn and Rebel Rouser.

He's recognized as the most commercially successful instrumental artist in rock 'n' roll history, with 16 top-40 singles, and 100 million records sold worldwide.

Born on April 26, 1938, in Corning, New York, Eddy began playing guitar at the tender age of five. As a teenager, he relocated with his family to Arizona.

In Coolidge, Arizona, Eddy crossed paths with DJ Lee Hazlewood, who produced the budding guitarist's breakthrough single Rebel Rouser in 1958.

A year later, Eddy achieved another hit with his rendition of Henry Mancini's theme song for the private eye television series, Peter Gunn.

Lorna Campbell (Ian Campbell Folk Group) - A Highland Woman's Lament
The Corries - A Highland Lament

Are the Campbell singers related to me? I dinna fash (translation, buggered if I know/care). I canna supply subtitles for these, but I can supply you with a deliberate version from The Corries in the second video that attempts to present the same song in understandable English for you Lowlanders and general non-Scots.

As for me, I have just finished watching Episode 8 of Season 7 of Outlander (I pirated it) with my Sassenach girlfriend. I know history and have read bits of the new books, so I know what's coming, but not how it ends.
