Fred Lincoln 'Link' Wray, Jr. (May 2, 1929 – November 5, 2005), was an American rock and roll guitarist, songwriter and vocalist who first came to popularity in the late 1950s.
Building on the distorted electric guitar sound of early records, his 1958 instrumental hit "Rumble" by Link Wray and his Ray Men popularized "the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists", making possible "punk and heavy rock".Rolling Stone placed Wray at No. 45 of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. In 2013 he was announced as a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His musical style primarily consisted of rock and roll, rockabilly and country.
Wray was born on May 2, 1929 in Dunn, North Carolina, to Fred Lincoln Wray, Sr. and his wife, Lillian M. Wray (née Coats). Three songs he performed were named for American Indian tribes: "Shawnee", "Apache", and "Comanche". "Apache" was an instrumental composed by Jerry Lordan; it was originally a hit in the United Kingdom for The Shadows in 1960. Wray recorded a cover version 30 years later, when it was also associated with The Ventures and the Incredible Bongo Band.

Link Wray Rawhide on Dick Clark's show American Bandstand
Rock & roll guitar was never the same after Link Wray cut the menacing instrumental "Rumble" in 1958; Wray's gritty guitar tone and bold chordings sounded raw and dangerous in a way no one had dared before, and Pete Townsend, Neil Young and Jimmy Page only three of the thousands of players who owe Link a debt of influence. Link Wray: The Rumble Man is a documentary which mixes footage of Wray and his band on stage with extensive interviews in which he tells the remarkable tale of his life and career. Songs include "Ace of Spades," "Rawhide," "Batman," "Jack the Ripper," "Sweeper," and many more (including, of course, "Rumble"). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I've never uploaded a tutorial or given lessons but this might help you figure out a few songs you like. Cream - Sunshine of your Love The Animals..etc - House of the Rising Sun Big Bill Broonzy - Hey, Hey Link Wray - (I can't remember the song title.) I apologize for the pauses. I don't speak very well and stutter a little bit. Check out my other videos. I've uploaded a few of my recordings, some skateboarding edits and some songs that I couldn't find on YouTube. Thanks for watching and I hope this video helps. -C.

I'm sleeping, sleeping to encompass myself
I wake up, wake up then distribute what's left
With my anger well diffused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
I'm sleeping, sleeping to develop myself
I wake up, wake up then relinquish what's left
With my anger well diffused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
Well I was caught by your lies spinnin'
Then was saved by truth's opinion
All's quiet now
With my anger well diffused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
With my anger well diffused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
The link to love I may choose
The link of love I may use
