OK, not strictly surf, but I'm sure some of you listen to / play his stuff.

I've been looking at the tab sites and the usual suspects don't have much Link Wray stuff (usually only Rumble and Jack the Ripper). Does anyone know of any sites where I can get a load of his stuff (particularly Ace of Spades and Comanche)?

Any help appreciated.

here is a site with a handful of partial tabs:

http://webrock.free.fr/?letter=W

it's a pretty good site for garage rock, rockabilly, cramps, white stripes, etc.

Thanks, Voodoo Idol - lots of good stuff on there.

That guy has far too much spare time.

Link Wray is rolling (with laughter) in his grave at the thought of tabs for his music. I can just see the notation:

RUMBLE
E (Skanky, nasty, loud, and with bravado and vibrato)
D (See "E")
A (See "E")

Bless his soul!

I was just thinking that. Laughing

While I agree that Link in not that hard to pick once you know his style. I offer this Link Shocked to some Wray tabs Laughing

OK - I get your drift....but there are SOME twiddly bits and to a tone-deaf guitar moron like me, it's nice to have it written down.

Cheers!
