Songs I learned from recently: Satumaa, the national tango of Finland These have great melodies. All are surf guitar versions. The accompaniments to the famous songs I listed above are about as challenging as the melodies. Chord playing for Irish Washerwoman was different from everything before. —Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com |

i'd say making an attempt to learn every song on jon and the nightriders 'moving target' has helped me more than anything. the thing that has hurt me the most is not having anyone to play with. |

I'm with ya in the same boat Crazy Aces. Writing my own surf tunes has really helped every aspect of my guitar playing. Especially phrasing, alternate picking, and melodies. Writing my own stuff exposed my weak tempo as well, and I made improvements there. I don't dream the tunes though. Usually while I'm playing one tune, that one sparks the idea for another one. My creativity in general has improved, since I began writing surf material. Slick —East Coast Executive Director Of The Society Of Incompleted Projects |

Thanks to all the surf bands, past and present. And thanks to all the fans who care about and keep surf music alive.
Sorry, Ferenc, I don't think I have any - but it doesn't matter, I didn't have long hair (in fact, I never did), which was one of the main reasons I was kicked out after nine months with them! One of the things that appealed to me about surf music when I first decided to form a band is that it was perfectly fine - in fact, preferable - to have short hair if playing in a surf band!
