Hi Martin.
Thanks for the upload. Very cool stuff!

Name any other music genre where the artists are so close to the fans? This is what makes surf music the greatest, and this site the best!

I've checked out the site, it's awesome. Thank you Martin.
I took flight of the surf guitar to my guitar lesson, Anything that makes my instructor grin is pretty cool.

+1 Martin's been very helpful (and this is a busy man) with advice on sound and his site is replete with tabs & backing tracks. (A couple of The Atlantics' albums as well sold a complete companion backing track album as well, and I've had good success converting Martin's midi b/t's to mp3 for home practice.) Always interesting stuff going on there and "Flight..." is always a good thing to have in the back pocket. My classically-trained cellist sister-in-law got it immediately.

Sidenote: Wishing his continued enjoyment with Mental As Anything also!

Hi Martin, what are the chances that you have measures 63-70 tabbed out on the studio version of Return of the Surf Guitar?

PDF here.

I've noticed that you play different variations of this solo during your live shows, especially as a three-piece band.

Thank you!

Ah the ad lib guitar solo... I play it slightly different everytime. When I get time I'll tab it out unless someone on this site wants to have a go doing a tab and I'll double check it.
