Welcome to SurfGuitar101.com!

Welcome to the new SurfGuitar101.com! This format was launched on February 25, 2006.

This site combines my love for all things computer geekery and my other passion: instrumental surf music. I hope this site is useful for both surf fans and musicians, as it offers the following:
  • Users can submit news, show announcements, show reports, reviews, etc. These stories can then be ranked and commented on by others. These stories are then archived on this site.
  • Web based forum area to discuss all things related to surf music.
  • A database of useful links.
  • Surf music FAQ's.
  • Photos of surf bands in action.
  • An event calendar so people can quickly see what shows are coming up.
Stay tuned and I hope you enjoy the ride.

Surf's up!

New Slacktone Dates: Surf Coasters & Florida
Show AnnouncementsSlacktone has announced 3 new dates on their gig page. One is with Japan's Surf Coasters in El Segundo next month, and two Florida dates! Check it out!

Forty Years Of The Fender Stratocaster
GearThis item was submitted by Ron-Rhoades.

Last night at our show at The Sheraton Kauai Resort a guy and his daughter come wandering up to us and he asks "do you guys know Mr. Moto?" Yeah, we sure do...wanna hear it? and he nods yes and so we busted in to Mr. Moto which brought a huge smile to his face as he sat on the steps leading up to the restaurant where we play outside near the beach in Poipu. He sat and listened for the whole set and when we took our break he came up to me and started asking questions about surf music, my unusual guitar, and equipment and stuff like that and then mentioned that he used to play with Dick Dale back in the 80's. I'm like wow, you played with Dick Dale? and we started talking about DD having cancer and i told him we invited him to sit in with us when he comes to Hawaii after all his medical stuff is finished next year and he started reminiscing about playing with DD and surf music and equipment in general.

From the website:

"...75 minutes of tips and lessons in The Art of Surf Drumming™ from four great drummers, plus the full-length documentary film A Drummers Guide to Surf Drumming. The project is dedicated to the new torchbearers that are out there every night pushing the boundaries of instrumental surf music  and features talents of some of my favorite Musicians: Tracy and I are joined by drummers Lee Kixx (from the cutting-edge Reventlos) and the incomparable Dusty Watson (of Dick Dale and Slacktone). The all-star live band features classic performances from Paul Johnson, Dave Wronski of Slacktone and Dick Dale bassist Ron Eglit."
