Wipeout. Not the best choice for an OLD beginning guitar player to try at full speed. This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Jan 19, 2013 14:52:28 |

Pipeline, Misirlou, or Wipeout. I can't remember, that was within the first three months in my guitar lessons. |

For me it was either Wipe Out, Pipeline or Rebel Rouser. I suspect it was the Duane Eddy piece. My cousin & I had a guitar & drum band in our early teens, and played all 3. Rev —Canadian Surf |

Pipeline, one of the first songs I figured out by myself —"We're lousy, we can't play. If you wait until you can play, you'll be too old to get up there. We stink, really. But it's great," Johnny Ramone . |

'walk don't run'........i figured it out note for note. i thought i had it until i tried to play it along with the record. it was my first lesson in 'phrasing'. — |

yeah, but the Surfaris admitted that the drum part and guitar parts were exercises that they put together. —Jeff(bigtikidude) |
