Permalink Surf tabs (and some covers/demos)

New Topic

Hello everyone!

In these challenging times I felt like playing guitar kind of loses its magic. Because I could not join up with my colleagues for rehearsals, I played less and less. We mainly played pop rock, but we also covered two surf classics: Misirlou and Wipe out. While playing around with these I became curious what is the recent status of the surf rock scene. Then I discovered The Madeira and everything changed, I was instantly hooked. From then, I play guitar almost every day.

I noticed that there are no tabs available so I had to play by ear. While at it, I thought the tabs might be of help and I started to transcribe the songs as I learned them.

Until now I managed to transcribe 8 songs:
- The Madeira - Ricochet (found the tab around here, I just copied it in Guitar Pro format)
- The Madeira - Cities of Gold
- The Madeira - Coral Island
- The Madeira - Farthest Shore
- The Madeira - Mar Vista
- The Madeira - Undercurrents
- The Space Cossacks - The Defector
- The Eliminators - El Borracho

The taba are in Guitar Pro format, available on songsterr.com and ultimate-guitar.com

I also recorded a full cover of The Defector and a demo of Coral Island.

I plan to keep adding tabs as I learn new songs. Hope it helps!

Best regards,
Robert

Welcome to the forum. That's some excellent playing.

If I'd stop buying old guitars to fix, I might actually learn to play.
Bringing instruments back to life since 2013.

Thank you for posting the tabs.
As a big fan of The Madeira, I too have attempted to perform their songs to the best of my abilities.

Here's one video of mine, (my favorite song of theirs).

Thank you, everyone! I'm very happy that you like the materials!

We just recorded a beach session featuring some other The Madeira songs. The tabs are already available.

P.S. Oh, boy, the beach is a tough recording environment...

Cool

Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your experience with The Madeira with me! I just love their music!

Meanwhile, I made 4 more surf rock tabs:
- The Madeira - Crescent Moon
- The Madeira - Twilight
- The Madeira - Tangaroa
- The Space Cossacks - Moroccan Adventures

You can find them on ultimate-guitar.com or songsterr.com

Also, I started a band with a friend, we play surf rock using only 2 guitars. We named it The Undercurrents after The Madeira song. You can find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/theundercurrentsband

This summer, we went to Madeira to play The Madeira and we managed to do it right on the 1st of July, The Madeira Day!

Happy surfing. everyone!

Hello, fellow surfers!

Have fun! Smile

Hi, everyone, and Happy New Year!

In the dawn of 2022, what could be more appropriate than a tab of The Madeira's "Dawn in Cadiz"? One of my all time favorites, it flows so sweetly, truly a compositional jewel. Hopefully, I'll be able to play it properly someday.

Check out the master at work:

Hope it helps! Have fun!
