Hey Signal, welcome to SG101! I'm in the same age/music category, born in the 50's, started playing in the mid 60's. That's a great selection of instruments you had. Looking forward to the pics of your current collection. Tell us about your surf music interests. —Patrick |

Guitar-driven, straightforward...tones are clean. Just reverb. No guitar effects overkill, no sonic clutter. Influence: Steve Howe, Patrick O'Hearn, Vangelis Last edited: Dec 02, 2024 00:11:25 |

Howdy! I'm Johnny and I'm new here. I've been playing in original bands for decades, but my new project The Deathly Quiet is the first time I'm diving full-on into the instrumental surf thing (before this I did manage to sneak a few surf-inspired riffs into songs). I've been stockpiling demos for a while waiting for "just the right time" to start a surf band. Growing up, my dad always gave me two pieces of musical advice: "Learn to play Walk Don't Run" and "You should have a saxophone in your band". As a hair metal loving teen, I ignored my father at the time, but it turns out he was right (I learned to play Walk Don't Run a long time ago, but I still haven't made good on the sax thing). Well, he turned 80 this year, so I recorded a version of Walk Don't Run for him. That got the wheels turning in my head that there will never be a "perfect" time (especially as I grow older myself). Then I got a great new guitar for my birthday. I immediately started recording songs. Then realized it was almost Christmas, so I pivoted and recorded a Christmas song I had demoed up a few years ago. Then wrote a few more. So my first "surf" release is a holiday EP. Again, not trying to overthink it at this point. Just having some fun. I also love tinkering with guitars. Setups, mods, etc. I've built a body before, with a couple more ready for paint when the weather warms up. Working my way up to making a neck. Thanks for having me here! —Listen to The Deathly Quiet |
