Permalink Angus Young describes Hendrix as having a 'surf sound'!

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Check out the video below - kinda odd! But maybe less odd when considering the Aussie context? If Angus had listened to the Atlantics in '63-'64 and identifies them with surf music, then maybe Hendrix does indeed have a kind of a 'surf sound'! And the Atlantics often spoken in the past few decades how they were doing the stuff that Hendrix became known before him.

(Check out also Angus talking about getting effects out of the guitar around the 7:00 mark - again, very similar to the Atlantics! Machine guns, sirens, etc.)

Here's the feature: http://www.guitarplayer.com/artist-videos/1436/angus-young-shows-how-he-bends-strings-and-coaxes-rude-noises-out-of-his-guitar/59875

I miss my SG. I ordered a 3 pickup sg from china that is being custom built because I can't afford the one I want from the big G.

I wonder what the Young brothers thought of when they heard the Atlantics???

Come to mention it. Sounds kinda surfy. Intro riff sounds almost like pipeline.

The Aussies apparently like to extend the term Surf to include Psychedelic music, as in this article about Tamam Shud and the Morning of the Earth soundtrack.

Quote from the article:
“On the plus side, all three Shud tracks are outstanding; Bali Waters (my favourite) is a classic surf instrumental, featuring some beautiful flute playing from Lockwood, with strings and wordless choral backing;…”

The Exotic Guitar of Kahuna Kawentzmann

You can get the boy out of the Keynes era, but you can’t get the Keynes era out of the boy.

Funny, we've been playing "Third Stone from the Sun" in our set, and I think it's kind of surfy despite the lyric about "you'll never hear surf music again". We segue way it with "Caravan" -- they have the same bass line! I kind of think of third stone as psychedelic surfy jazz r&b. Hendrix did play Showman's and a Jazzmaster from time to time...

To me Angus seems to be talking about Jimi's clean soulful double stops (Little Wing, Castles made of sand). Played as a harder flurry near 12th fret in neck pickup position the sound becomes fluid or liquid.

Beginning of Robin Trower's Little bit of sympathy for instance. Maybe?

I need to get me an SG like Angus has! Not that I'd have any aspirations of "it making me sound like Angus Young," but it's my affinity for single pickup guitars and for P90 pickups.

You could invent funk music with geetar like that one!

Darn no one picked up on my comment Smile
Some believe the earliest funk record was Testify pts 1&2 by the Isley Brothers featuring Jimi Hendrix. He probably used a Jazzmaster.
