Man those are both great versions of Pipeline...but, I always thought that the Chantays' version was the most difficult for me to learn...because of that dang organ part! Oh Yeah...my first tune ever ever ever on guitar was 'Batman Theme' (the Ventures version)... |

Pipeline, which it may be heresy to say here, but I first heard and learned the version by Stevie Ray Vaughan with Dick Dale. And I still love that version of it. —Swing! Twang! Shake! Twist! |

If I remember correctly, the first surf tunes I learned were "Pipeline" & "Wipe Out". The first instro tune I learned was "Rebel Rouser". Rev PS: "Pipeline" (the Anthrax version Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Dec 27, 2007 17:19:05 |

"Walk Don't Run" _ " "Blue Star (not surf, but what a beautiful old instro)" Hey, if you put enough reverb on ANY song, it suddenly becomes " surf"! As I remember, it was Walk Don't Run for me also, as well as bits and pieces of several of the songs on The Ventures "Surfing" album._ |

Just got into surf... Just learned Pipeline (most of it anyway). Well, I first learned some of Misirlou... but I suck at double picking. |

Walk Don't Run may not be surf but Walk Don't Run '64 with its extra-drippy reverb definitely is. —Swing! Twang! Shake! Twist! |

Just starting Surf guitar... Apache. It was the one that I was most familiar with how it was supposed to sound, so it seemed a good choice. The second one is Pipeline. When I mentioned it in the lunch room at work, one of the other guys said it was the first tune he ever learned to play on guitar. —I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing. |

Pipeline was my first. It's still the song I revert to when I haven't played for a while or otherwise feel like nothing else is working. After that? Probably Wipe Out and Apache, Penetration is in there as well. A great moment for me was listening to Walk Don't Run on the radio while driving and the basic chord progression occurred to me. Yea, I know it's not complicated but for me it was a banner moment. I had to run home and try it out. Unfortunately, as an "ear" player I haven't progressed much further... |

Now that I think about it, I believe the first song I actually learned all the way through was 'Honolulu Lulu' by Jan and Dean Released in 1963 Joel |
