ChazSurf Joined: Nov 25, 2010 Posts: 191	Posted on Dec 18 2011 02:04 AM Theme for Young Lovers and Wonderful Land. In the last 5 years I've become quite a fan of The Shadows. Top
JohnnyMosrite Joined: Jun 14, 2006 Posts: 910 New York City area	Posted on Dec 18 2011 06:57 AM "Penetration" and "Pipeline" will always be two of my favorites. And for slow tunes "Sleepwalk" and Fleetwood Macs "Albatross" Not too pertinent here but I do play some gypsy jazz. Django's "Nuages" is like the "Walk,Don't Run" tune of gypsy jazz. J Mo' Top
MissingLink Joined: Jul 23, 2008 Posts: 488 Edge of the East China Sea	Posted on Dec 18 2011 07:24 AM Pipeline never gets old. Other most-fun-to-play songs: Moment of Truth, Ali Baba, Rumble. Top

surfgtrnut Joined: Dec 26, 2008 Posts: 122 Binghamton, NY	Posted on Dec 18 2011 11:15 AM Misirlou, usually gets the best reaction from the audience. Top
Icetech Joined: Dec 16, 2006 Posts: 892 Macomb Mich	Posted on Dec 18 2011 11:20 AM theme for slaying beauty is the only song i can play all the way through.. so thats it:) Unless im playing rocksmith... then its the black keys songs... — I wanna play just like him when i grow up... Top

Paisley Joined: Sep 15, 2008 Posts: 110 Melbourne, Australia	Posted on Dec 19 2011 07:30 AM The Atlantics "Bombora" is always fun to play, & goes over really well with most audiences. Top
dp Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3546 mojave desert, california	Posted on Dec 19 2011 10:31 AM "Mr Moto", "Baja"... Top
BJB Joined: Jul 28, 2008 Posts: 413	Posted on Dec 19 2011 12:52 PM My favorite is the rhythm part to "Yozora No Hoshi" because I get to use my vibrato pedal to its full effect and there are lots of glissandos! — If it ain't broke, fix it until it is. Top
midwestsurfer Joined: Aug 09, 2007 Posts: 308 Indianapolis	Posted on Dec 19 2011 02:59 PM "Miserlou" definitely gets people fired up and is familiar (as far as surf songs go), but I personally love playing "Mr. Moto." Second would probably be "Ghost Riders" as it lets me slow things down and use the Vibroverb's thick tremolo. — -Nick Gypsy Moonshine on Reverbnation Gypsy Moonshine on Facebook Top
