Thanks for the nice review, Conrad! Yes, there's a bit of wit in there and a generous borrowing of some of Chet's trademarks - in particular that funny 13th chord he used a lot. -MT

Thanks Jeff! Wow, I understand there exist only a handful of CGP's. That's quite an honor that you are involved in the featured Gretsch model. I look forward to seeing the result! "Hello Girls!" |

Nokie- Man, those sound great! I've been messing around with some Chet style (well, probably more Merle TBH) arrangements. Do you have a whole solo set? I find that those arrangements are so much work to get going and they end up being 2 minutes long! —Matt Heaton & the Electric Heaters |

I haven't played solo in years but now I have a 2 hour solo gig on Monday, the employee party for Ventiki, Ventura's only Tiki Bar and the place Surfer Joe played a couple of years ago. They wanted Point Doom but we split years ago so it's just me and my rhythm machine playing bass and drums. They have to close the bar and Monday is their slowest day. A weird time for a party, rum drinks in the middle of the day. |

Thanks Matt. I have worked up complete sets of solo guitar and have performed at a few places. It does indeed take a lot of prep in coming up with the arrangements and then perfecting them. I haven't done an entirely surf solo set but I always include quite a few. Here's another couple of 'em - The first is my Chet style arrangement of Telstar and the second is Nut Rocker which I usually play on regular electric but the one below was a fun variation. -Marty —"Hello Girls!"

Great surf Marty! Astounding. Hey Storm, there is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking rum in the middle of the day..... It's not just for breakfast anymore. Eddie, IPA dude —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

Thanks Jeff, your playing with the Ace's has been inspirational to me as well! —"Hello Girls!" |

Thank you Marty. If you have more arrangements you'd like to post I'm sure many of us would really dig it. Cheers, http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |

I'm at the bottom of the barrel trying to come up with ones I haven't already posted in other SG101 forums but here's Dueling Banjos - which everyone will agree is totally surf because that great surf band The Ventures covered it on an early '70's live album. This one ain't my arrangement at all - it's by Tommy Jones. Thanks for the nudge Jeff! —"Hello Girls!" |

Has anyone thought more/pursued this (the backing tracks and all)? Last edited: Sep 25, 2020 21:26:11 |
