Inspired by the phenomenal success of The Shadows, Britain experienced a golden age of guitar instrumentals during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Countless groups picked up their guitars in search of that unmistakable twanging sound, creating a distinctive chapter in British rock 'n' roll that remains hugely popular with collectors and instrumental music fans alike.
