There's absolutely no point to this, other than the joy of learning another one of my favorite songs. And also that Ray Harryhausen is awesome. This is recorded with Z's old Mosrite in drop-D tuning. If anyone's interested in having the backing track, I could probably up it somewhere. Hope you enjoy it, please ignore the flub during the blind man scene. |

That's great! The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is one of my favorite sci-fi movies of all time. Paul —Paul |

Aptly described "sinister" tune! Great cinematography once again - and solid playing no matter what you say. Well done, Michael! With that roster of recorded tracks growing before my very eyes, I think you've got a spot brewing in Crispy's Instro Summit next year Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation |

Thanks chaps... Onslow, I'm not too optimistic I'd ever find any instro-surf players in my area, but a jam next year would be pretty nifty. — |

What everyone else has said. Great playing, great sounding guitar that's a perfect match for the atmosphere of the tune. What amp & reverb did you use? One of my favorite sci-fi films. And, there are a lot more movies you can do this with. Playing scenes from these classic sci-fi films during a set is a great idea. —This is Noel.

I'm surprised at the Youtube response saying to "not to use too much reverb." Has the guy heard Randy Holden on the original?! It's soaked in reverb! —Shawn Martin |

That would be HUGE if you could make your Mar Gaya backing track downloadable here on SurfGuitar 101. I dig playing that song, would killer to be able to play at home with out the band. Got my fingers crossed it'll happen... |

Woah I remember this thread, thanks for digging this up! Glad this is still listenable, haha. Yeah, hearing it again a couple years later, I don't think I went too overboard on the 'verb either, but to each their own I guess. Thanks for listening guys! rockanillysurf: One of these days I'll upload the backing tracks for these little projects, I've already got a few mixed down from personal requests over the last couple of years anyway. — |
