Sergio Joined: Jun 07, 2018 Posts: 6	Posted on Jun 07 2018 07:05 PM Hi, everyone! I'm a new cat in town. I'm a lawyer and touring guitar player from sunny and beachy Brazil, and most of all a Fender lover and enthusiast. I play in a gigging band and love rock and roll more than anything else life has presented me (I love women, bourbon, cigars and gambling almost as much). I really love surf music but never really played it live, so I'll be happy to learn as much as I can from all of you. Great vibe here! — Peace and love! Top

theconnactic Joined: Jun 18, 2018 Posts: 12	Posted on Jun 28 2018 11:37 AM Hello, folks! My name is Dimitri De Alencar, and I’m a musician and composer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I write in many genres, pretty eclectic, but I do love to write and play surf rock, growing in a city famous by its beaches and having been part of a couple of bands in the genre in the past. Please to meet you all! Top

edwardsand Joined: Jun 29, 2018 Posts: 661	Posted on Jun 29 2018 01:38 PM Greetings, Been a fan of surf music for as long as I can remember, and have played guitar and bass since high school. During grad school days in Santa Barbara I lived not too far from the 101, but now reside in NC. Been lurking on the site for a while, mainly the discussions of guitars and other gear. I've got a '67 Fender Jaguar and quite a number of guitars/guitar projects in various states of repair. Cheers! Top
Stig Joined: Jun 20, 2018 Posts: 7 Snowdonia, North Wales	Posted on Jun 30 2018 09:41 AM Hello there, I go by the name of Stig and this is the first forum anywhere that I have joined. I am based in the middle of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales UK. I like playing my guitar, falling off my surfboard with my kids, climbing and Mountaineering and wandering in the hills with my 2 dogs. I like all kinds of music from classical right through to today. I was brought up on a diet of swing and chapel, so my taste is eclectic. I have been strumming away at my Guitar for a quite few years but I have been looking for a musical challenge - my hearing is going and I would like some good music to take with me when they finally shut down! I have always enjoyed “twangy” Guitar sounds - I like rockabilly a lot, but lately I have been listening to more and more surf/exotic/experimental bands, most of which you folks listen to also going by the threads I have picked up on. I am looking forward to just hanging with you guys and picking up some tips here and there, if I may? — Greetings from the Land of the Long Wet Cloud Top

MichaelK7 Joined: Jul 01, 2018 Posts: 106 NYC	Posted on Jul 01 2018 06:33 PM Hello Everyone! I'm new to playing surf guitar, but not new to playing guitar. I've enjoyed the music for a long time, and finally gave in to the irresistible urge to play it myself. I'm a fan of all eras of the music, from the earliest stuff to today's releases. I hope to learn a lot from this site, and hope I can occasionally contribute something worthwhile. I'm just a hobbyist at this point, but love to play when I can. My guitar was made by Steve Benford, and I use a Yamaha THR5 so as not to get evicted from my apartment Looking forward to spending more time here! — Deal with reality, or reality will deal with you.

Goldenbirdies Joined: Jun 21, 2018 Posts: 34 Indianapolis, Indiana	Posted on Jul 02 2018 07:57 PM Hello good people! I decided to actually join this site recently even though I've been coming to it on and off over the past 5 years or so. I admire the overall respectful vibes in the comments, even where there are disagreements. A rarity, as we all know. Anyhow, I've felt the strong pull towards reverb-heavy electric guitar music ever since hearing the random Chantays, Trashmen, and even Ventures (not that much reverb there, eh?) song on oldies radio back in the early 80s. I tend to enjoy the teenaged, poorly-recorded, small label 45s from the 60s, expertly compiled on LPs like "Diggin' Out," "Surfin' in the Midwest," et al, though I'm open to loads of other jams as well. I have very little experience in the online bulletin board world, but this one seemed to be a good one to dip my toes in. And yes, I just realize how, uh... "punny" that last sentence was. Sorry about that! Top
