Rik-A-Tik was originally done by the Fireballs, and you may want to check out that version too. —Matt "tha Kat" Lentz |

This is killer. John Benton is such an amazing player, and a super cool guy to boot! His sound is spot on. HBkahuna wrote: — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! |

You do a damn fine version of Rik-A-Tik yourself Matt! I learned it by ear & combined elements of both The Fireballs & The Lively Ones. I play it every day. It's such a fun song to play. —Otto & The Ottomans |

Thanks, Bob! We haven't played it in the new band...yet. That seems to be a song that all of the bands I've ever been in want to play. I learned how to play the Lively Ones' version way back when, but "discovered" the Fireballs' original when I inherited my dad's record collection in the early 1990s. When I met George Tomsco for the first time in 1998, he taught me the song, note for note, as he said I was playing it incorrectly. Matt "tha Kat" Lentz |

I found this incomplete video by Matt. And a demo also on YouTube. I hope these help. I'm really curious what the differences are from the original Fireballs? —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Jul 07, 2013 08:52:33 |

Noel, that's George Tomsco playing my Jazzmaster on stage! The real difference is reverb and the picking/muting. The Lively Ones' version is much easier to play as well. —Matt "tha Kat" Lentz |

Here's our version of "Rik A Tik". Somebody came up to me right in the middle of the song and started jabberin' about somethin' and Pete our drummer turned it into a Rap comedy. Lol —Be careful following the masses. Sometimes the "M" is silent........................... |

The patterns are relatively easy; it's the picking/palm-muting that makes that song so damned tricky! Please visit our friends in the surf music community:
