I just learned about this style of guitar playing called Flatpicking...
It's kinda like playing Surf Music leads but you play fiddle tunes! 
I'm in a whole bluegrass phase meself. The 'lead runs' with scales in those tunes are really good for developing your flatpickin. Try a few reels and hornpipes as well. Cooley's Reel is a good one. Blackberry Blossom, Whiskey Before Breakfast, even Old Joe Clark

I'm working on a raft of my own songs. I've done one half-assed demo of a number I've titled "Hyperconnected Isolation Chamber (Surfin' the Web)." The brave may give it a listen here: http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=182938
Also spent about a month working on "Fadeaway" (Laika & the Cosmonauts). I've just about got it, but still have yet to make it through without at least one minor flub! :-0

I've pretty much got Nivram and Fistful of Dollars put away now.
The 'solo' in Nivram was intricate to learn, and I'm starting to improvise with it a bit.
Fistful of Dollars is interesting because the 'verses' and 'bridges' change each time through. It took me a few weeks to get to grips with memorising the sequence. Here's my take on the chord tabs for the Bradipos IV version (corrections/improvements welcomed as it was a nightmare to chord tab in this (lazy) format):
Fistful of Dollars
Intro (Riff in Dm)
|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|
V1
|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|
|Dm / / /|F / / /|F / / /|
|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|
|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Bb / / /|G / / /|Bb / / /|

V2
|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|
|Dm / / /|C / Dm /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|
|F / / /|F / / /|Bb / / /|G / / /|
|Bb / / /|Dm / / /|Dm / / /|
Bridge 1

Outro
|Dm / / /| x 12 then Dm

I've been working on that great surf perenial called "Duelin' Banjos" (well the Ventures covered it anyway). I played it on my porch. If you listen to the attached video carefully, I think you can hear a squeal. -Marty

Wow! Marty! Superb! 8-)
(I wonder how you could extend the arrangement for 2 electric guitars with reverb tanks, bass and drums?)

Still the Shadows set
Finally got Jet Black, it took a long time for what is basically a noodle in Em pentatonic.
Working on the chord "chorus" of Genie with the Light Brown Lamp.

You know, sometimes it just doesn't get much tougher then the fathoms sometimes. I know I have been working on "She's the one" "Flaming Arrow" and "Tracking Bigfoot" for years now I still don't feel like I'm nailing the feel of the music. I have nothing but the most respect for Mr. Blandino.

It isn't surf guitar, or even surf music, but I've been going through the first 2 tracks off of Piper at the Gates of Dawn. And I guess, my noise making for Interstellar Overdrive
