Like Jeff said "don't get hung up on the gear"....lol doesn't explain why after joining I now have 3 guitars dedicated to surf and a reverb tank.....lol Beware GAS ( guitar acquisition syndrome )is contagious. — I am not obsolete, I am RETRO....

Just when I thought I had my blues rock sound perfect, (to my ears), I found out I needed, (want) all these new toys. My, those new Jazzmasters sure are lovely in surf green... Cheers JK Top

jtcnj Joined: Feb 04, 2016 Posts: 1 NJ Coast	Posted on Feb 05 2016 12:57 PM Hello all. Only playing about 1 year. Mostly basic skills practice, but interest is mostly blues based rock, but love some surf. Been learning The lively ones Surf Rider, and Walk, Don't Run. For about 9 months.... Mostly played on a Strat. Got my Squier VM Jaguar yesterday. Primo still learning it. why the hell do these ship with 9s? I'll play the 9s a couple weeks just so I know it, then go to 10s, cause I have some. I should have been here yesterday... — I should have been here yesterday!! Top
DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11054 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Feb 05 2016 08:20 PM Welcome JTCNJ. You're in the right place. Search the archives for loads and loads of tips and info for playing surf music. I'll give you one, if you want to do double picking, it's actually easier with thicker strings, something about the extra resistance actually helps with control and consistency. Plus, you get a stronger tone out of thicker strings. Plus, the floating trem works better with thick strings. Try .013's and work your way down from there if they're just too much. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
fosco Joined: Jun 09, 2015 Posts: 21 Berne	Posted on Feb 06 2016 03:44 PM Hi there! My name is Timo and I am 38. I am really glad, that I discovered SG101 last summer! I have been lurking around a lot since then. So I thought a little introduction would be nice. I really discovered surf music only last year! Shame on me, but better late than never. I knew the Pulp Fiction soundtrack and Dick Dale but not much more. Since the surf music bug bit me I have discovered so much thanks to this site! After the Birth of Surf compilations I started to listen to modern surf music. Now I have discovered the SG101 podcasts and am enjoying more and more new stuff (to me ) and the interviews. I play guitar in a indie rock band. I and have been playing the guitar for way too long and my double picking still sucks (I'm working on it) Oops, the introduction turned out to be way longer than planed, sorry! Top

Smart_Patrol Joined: Feb 14, 2016 Posts: 103 Brighton	Posted on Feb 14 2016 04:12 PM Hi all, I'm Jamie from the breezy and grey depths of southern England. Only been listening to surf for the last few years (I was raised on a steady diet of Mudhoney, Nirvana, Fugazi and the like) but got really captivated by it. Attempting to start a band and hoping to improve my playing technique, so this seemed like the place to be. I play a Mosrite Ventures for lead stuff, a very modified Squier Jazzmaster for chord-y stuff, and a Ricky 4003 for bass. Absolutely love all of them. That's pretty much it I guess, cheers! — Earth.
