Exactly the same with me Ryan! Couldn't tell ya what most chords are, I have to seek out the answers as to what they may be most of the time. I know roughly...

Consuela's Revenge by Pollo del Mar, probably our noisiest song, harmonically speaking.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't write music from a theory perspective either. I've never heard of anyone that does! Theory only means you have the ability to describe what you did after the fact if you so choose and may open some options if you get stuck- which can be very handy - but in and of itself, theory doesn't create anything. No one can play or write just from what they know.

Portishead uses that chord too at the end of one of their tunes on their album "Dummy". Clearly a nod to Mancini and the James Bond opus.

The ending chord for the James Bond Theme is actually an Em/Maj9
spelled: E(Tone)-G(3m) -B (fifth)- D#(Maj7)- F#(9th) don't pick the high E.
This funny chord can also be found in the ending of "Tidal Wave", followed by an Em6add9 (twelfth fret). Sounds great!

Very nice tune, and pretty colorful harmonically.

Only about a third of our set is considered true surf music now. Our drummer and the ryth gtr/sax player and I am in a big band in L.A. together so we play other things like jazz combo tunes as well. We even can do Walk Don't Run the original way- like Johnny Smith wrote it (but only do it at home for risk of getting the Spinal Tap/puppet show thumbs down). Learn 7th chords and you can chunk your way though most swing charts!

Hello guys,
I do not like to interupt the discussion thread, but I do have a tangeent question. On the page that has Consuela's Revenge there is a song called Hondo Beach Party by the Mach IV. Can anyont fill me in on the Mach Iv? I really enjoyed that song and would like to know a little more about the band.

Talk to you later,
Norm

Jeff,
Thanks for the link to their web site. I read the bios. As I suspected, an interlock with Pollo Del Mar. No wonder I liked the guitar work.

Talk to you later,
Norm
