From Wikipedia:

Duane Eddy (April 26, 1938 – April 30, 2024) was an American rock and roll guitarist. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he had a string of hit records produced by Lee Hazlewood which were noted for their characteristically “twangy” guitar sound, including “Rebel-‘Rouser”, “Peter Gunn”, and “Because They’re Young”. He had sold 12 million records by 1963. His guitar style influenced the Ventures, the Shadows, the Beatles (especially their lead guitarist George Harrison), Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, and Marty Stuart.

Eddy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2008. […]


During their early years, The Beatles performed several songs written and recorded by Duane Eddy, reflecting his influence on their sound.

In 1987, Duane Eddy released a self-titled album, which included a cover of Wings’ 1979 instrumental “Rockestra Theme.” This version was produced by Paul McCartney, who also contributed background vocals and bass to the recording.
