	Legendary Guitarist Cliff Gallup
		But Cliff was one of the finest rock guitarist of the fifties, and the first song they recorded, "Race with the Devil," started with a succession of fast runs (actually double-picking one continous first position run from E on the D string to open E on the bass string) on Gallup's pancake-model Gretsch.
		Cliff Gallup was a member of Vincent's group, the Blue Caps, from 1956 until 1958.
		Cliff Gallup, a maintenance man in the Chesapeke city schools for nearly 30 years, was the same Cliff Gallup who was on the cutting edge of rock 'n' roll.

		Gallup might still be unknown today had not Sheriff Tex Davis, a DJ in Norfolk, Virginia, gotten involved with managing Gene Vincent in early 1956, noticing Vincent's popular radio performances.
		Gallup, however, was already 26 and married, and didn't enjoy touring.
		Fortunately, Ken Nelson asked Gallup to come to Nashville for another round of sessions in October, and the guitarist played lead, although he was technically no longer in the band.

		But, goes the legend, as soon as Gallup ripped into the lightning solos on "Race with the Devil," they knew they wouldn't be needed.
		It is also amazing, and disappointing, that Gallup went right into obscurity after 1956; surely he had enough chops and inventiveness to thrive as a session player in Nashville or Los Angeles, had he so chosen.
		Gallup did say that after he left the Blue Caps, Ken Nelson had offered him a good contract, but Cliff turned it down.

	Endless Groove - Cliff Gallup
		Next up is "Mean," a Gallup original with vibrato, then "Jezebelle"(sic) (which Vincent sang on his first LP, Gallup playing guitar), then "I Dreamed of an Old Love Affair." The side ends with "Come On In," another original uptempo number by Gallup.
		Cliff had pretty much ironed out what he wanted to do and they just did it.
		I was fortunate to cut a lot of sessions with Cliff, both as a musician and as a producer.

	Albert Lee - Essential Listening
		Gallup was my favourite guitar player in the late '50s, and I think it really helped me a lot, trying to work out his solos, becaus they were very jazzy.
		I was trying to get close to that Cliff Gallup sound, and there were quite a few echo units on the market in England in the early '60s.
		I was never really dedicated enough to sit down and figure everything out note-for-note, except for Cliff Gallup, where I did work everything out and could play it even now.

		Cliff Walker, "Solidification and Isolation," part of the section "Discussing Atheism with Others" of "Introduction To Activistic Atheism" (1999, rev. October, 2000), which was originally derived from a section of C. Dennis McKinsey, Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy.
		Cliff Walker commented on Shermer's distinction between atheists and nontheists in his December, 1999, column Atheism & Fundamentalism.
		Shermer responded in a letter dated November 19, 1999, which was printed in the same issue as the column.

		It's true Cliff Gallup played a Country Gentleman in the 60's-70's but the guitar he played on the 33 or so Bluecaps recordings of '56-7 was a Duo Jet with a fixed arm Bigsby.
		Cliff's wife mentioned that Cliff was just a real, no-nonsense person, who hesitated to even give an autograph; not because he was a jerk but because he didn't think of himself as a star.
		Cliff called his fl duo-jet a "panckake." Cliff's was an earlier one than Harrisons.

	John Meeks: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Although he never achieved the renown among rockabilly fans of his predecessor, Cliff Gallup [+], Johnny Meeks was with Gene Vincent [+]'s Blue Caps [+] far longer, and contributed an original song that ended up almost as much a key part of Vincent [+]'s repertory, "Say Mama," as anything that Gallup played on.
		Gene Vincent [+]'s band, the Blue Caps, suddenly found themselves without a lead guitarist late in 1956, when Cliff Gallup [+] exited their line-up for the second time.
		This appeared to be what Vincent [+] wanted in his records; the band also abandoned the upright bass for the electric bass at around this time, and all of these changes gave the Blue Caps a somewhat tamer sound.

		Gallup, at the ripe old age of 26, was the group's elder statesman steeped in the traditions of country music and mainstream jazz (influenced strongly by Charlie Christian).
		Gallup's lead licks on Gene's first recordings have become the "bible" for hundreds of rock 'n roll guitarists ever since.
		Gene, still upset over the loss of Cliff Gallup, was more than impressed with Meeks and quickly signed him up along with Paul and fellow South Carolinian Bill Mack on bass.

		This song, recorded during the 3rd series of sessions from October 15th through October 18th, shows Cliff Gallup at his absolute best.
		The 2nd solo shows Cliff, again, using incredibly creative musical innovations for rockabilly (in this case dissonant double-stops).
		The 3rd solo has a small fingering mistake by Cliff (I believe there are only 3 or 4 other audible mistakes on all of Cliff's guitar work with Gene Vincent).

		Cliff DID play guitar on "Double Talkin' Baby" (sorry folks, I don't think Setzer even comes close to Cliff's wizardry), but the song was written by rockin' piano-pounder Danny Wolfe.
		If you told me JB was playing Cliff Gallup's solos note-for-note I would believe you -- they are that much in the pocket.
		Cliff Gallup is a genius of rockabilly guitar.I wish he had stayed with Gene because he could not be replaced.Jeff Beck did a good job on copying Cliff.REcord company didn't wont to release it but Jeff insisted.I copy Cliff everyday with my 50s 6120 with DeArmonds.

	Gene Vincent
		Scoring one of the earliest smash rockabilly hits with the classic "Be Bop-a-Lula" in 1956, Vincent recorded some of the most exciting libidinous rockabilly of the era propelled by the outstanding lead guitar work of Cliff Gallup.
		Vincent Eugene Craddock was born in 1935 in Norfolk, Virginia.
		The first session was held in Nashville with Jack Neal on bass, Willie Williams and Cliff Gallup on guitar, and Dickie Harrell on drums.

	JEFF BECK INTERVIEW
		Along with Scotty Moore and James Burton, Gene Vincent's guitarists Cliff Gallup and later Johnny Meeks were pioneers of rock guitar.
		Vincent's guitarists might not be as well known as Moore or Burton but Jeff has little doubt as to who made the biggest impact on him.
		Whilst Cliff Gallup's electric guitar playing broke new ground, Jeff himself is somewhat of a pioneer being one of the first rock guitarists to use a Fuzz box, harmonics and double-tracking.

	TRIBUTE / FAN EXCHANGE, PAGE 2
		I used to gig with a guitarist who had met and partied/jammed some with Cliff Gallop, probably in the late 60's early 70's (my buddy was in the Air Force and stationed in same town w/Gallop for couple years).
		He indicated Cliff was EXTREMELY good, and that came from a player who himself can still fry the neck of a guitar.
		The album had acoustic rhthym guitar, and while Cliff's tone was good, I was depressed by the lack of energy on the album.

	Smokebox.net: The Root Cellar: Gene Vincent / Link Wray
		While it is true that Cliff could and did "rip it up" with the best of them, one thing that I think is often overlooked about him and the rest of the Blue Caps is how they played around Gene, and how each part perfectly compliments and rides with the vocals.
		Link is one of the first guitar heroes along with the likes of Gallup, Duane Eddy, Chuck Berry, Scotty Moore, Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly who helped bring the electric guitar to the forefront of popular music and create rock and roll.
		Just like with Gallup, when you hear Link, you will hear things that sound familiar because he was required learning for all budding guitarists in the late 50's/early 60's.

	Gene Vincent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This unit was in a perpetual state of sonic agitation, and his first two lead guitarists, Cliff Gallup and Johnny Meeks, were two of the hottest players in the history of the form.
		But being so close to the dawn of rock and roll, Vincent was also possessed by an innocence that probably wasn't possible later when the entire scene had gorged at the Tree of Knowledge.
		The bass, one of those acoustic jobs, is popping, and the drums are pushing, and the guitar, the incomparable Cliff Gallup, is skittering all over everything like a lizard on slate.

	My Tattoo, Barbara Burnette
		This is it then, Barbara Burnette's new CD titled "My Tattoo", produced by Eddie Angel and Barbara Burnette and issued on Eddie's Spinout label, with a great picture on the inside cover of Barbara and her idol Paul Burlison picking strings on what looks like a parking lot.
		The CD is a tribute to Barbara's heroes Scotty Moore, Danny Gatton, Cliff Gallup, and of course, Paul Burlison.
		Hadda Brooks' original "Jump Back Honey, Jump Back" was taken to higher grounds by Gene Vincent and The Blue Caps in the fifties, and the combination of a Cliff Gallup style lead guitar and a femal voice, makes this a cover version to reckon with.

	The Rockabilly Guitar Page
		Cliff Gallup played a 1955 (Maybe '56) Gretsch 6128 Duo Jet (Black) with two DeArmond DynaSonic pickups through a Standel amplifier owned by Grady Martin.
		Also important for Cliff Gallup's sound was that he used heavy flatwound strings, a huge, triangular plectrum with his thumb and first finger, metal fingerpicks on his middle and ring fingers and kept the fixed Bigsby arm on the Gretsch (Many players replaced it with a swivel one).
		Also, the echo was added on the recording (to the WHOLE recording actually and not just the guitar) and not as a built-in effect on the amp.

		I first met Jimmy Page in London in ’61, and he was listening to James Burton, Scotty Moore, and Cliff Gallup with Gene Vincent, as I was.
		It was Cliff who really hooked me, and I really worked at copying his solos, which had kind of a swing feel; they were different from what someone like Chuck Berry was doing.
		My big regret is that I never met Cliff Gallup, but I’ve recently been playing phone tag with Scotty Moore; I’ve yet to speak to him.

		His liberal use of pulled-off triplets is reminiscent of Cliff Gallup and Les Paul's playing, and some of his licks are similar to those played by blues harmonica players such as Little Walter.

	The Story Of Dutch Instro
		The Playing Rockets from Waalwijk were the first (1975) in Holland and did help pave the way for the rest, with spirited interpretations which attempt to capture the raw excitement of a bygone age.
		A young public heard for the first time the original Cliff Richard and Shadows early 60s sound, but also the classic Indo-Rock instrumentals from the same era.
		The next groups after seeing The Playing Rockets that came to live were The Hurricane Rollers (later The Explosion Rockets), with the late ace Jazzmaster guitarist Bart Strik and Johnny and The Rollers all from 's Hertogenbosch/Tilburg, The Shakin' Arrows (Waalwijk) and Dance-On (Alphen a/d Rijn).

	The Observer \| Review \| Wot? No Gene Vincent?
		Hornby further acknowledges the frustration the music-lover can feel when people he or she is attempting to interest in the best bits of records simply won't listen.
		'Why,' I marvelled, 'does Cliff start his solo from there and how, in a matter of seconds, does he get back to there?' But, despite the fact that 'Jump Back, Honey, Jump Back' is less than two minutes long, my colleague had lost interest and was talking about tops with someone else.
		The feted author of High Fidelity and About a Boy is unusual, I think, in considering all of a song lyric rather than fragments.
