There's great video of a Japanese gentleman playing a white RI Jaguar along to what I believe is a live version of the Ventures. Great shots of his hands. Massive instructional value. With that video I learned the song in one evening. Eric Update - Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSttcTDqCCU&list=FLm6qwWWJHftUbUkS6CEZqSw Last edited: Mar 06, 2013 05:54:17 Top

JonnyHotrod Joined: Mar 26, 2013 Posts: 1 Cincinnati	Posted on Apr 10 2013 03:54 PM I am new to this forum and to guitar. I am in love with the whole Surf Guitar sound. I am this close to getting Pipeline down. The fact that I just bought a new lake placid blue Strat has encouraged me to practice more. I might try Walk, Don't Run next or Ghost Riders in the Sky. — Jonny The Heart of it All Top

RobC Joined: Oct 11, 2010 Posts: 152 Bainbridge Island, Washington	Posted on Apr 10 2013 04:50 PM Welcome Jonny Hotrod! Walk don't run baby! It took me a while to pick it by ear but I made my wife learn the rhythm guitar part so I could nail it. My advice would be to skip Walk Don't run until you learn a few easier ones. It is not super hard but it has a quirky rhythm. Less swearing and what not. I also picked out the leads on a song called "Spinner" from a Bay Area Band called The Movie Stars. I have it on a CD I bought at a show in Seattle in 1992. The guitarist name is Michael Montalto and he currently is in a country band called Red Meat. Any of you bay area dudes no him? I still can't play spinner for sh#t but I keep trying. Top

hoagiebait Joined: May 05, 2013 Posts: 13	Posted on May 06 2013 05:30 PM Ghost Riders in the Sky from Hal Leonard's Classic Rock Instrumentals. I only see the second edition online now, but it has most of the same songs. All of which I learned eventually; Walk Don't Run Wipeout Pipeline Apache Slaughter on Tenth Ave. Hawaii 5-0 Rebel Rouser Miserlou — Always down to trade records!!! http://deadformat.net/tradelist/hoagiebait Music!!! https://hoagiebait.bandcamp.com Top
