Thanks for your welcome guys ... I have a squier classic vibe 50's tele with a fender custom shop ScN neck, and tex-mex bridge pickups, as well as a four way switch, Cts etc etc. Ooh, and a paisley scratchplate. I also own a hohner-pro. ferari super-strat, a Grodon Smith GS 1/60 and an old Aria Stg. tele with a fishtank scratchplate. I'm left-handed. I play (lol !) through an Orange micro-terror coupled to an ancient 3x10 PA cab I re-loaded with celestions .. An 80's boutique 60w celestion combo .. a marshall stereo chorus combo I've bodged to 4x8 .. a microcube for my workshop .. etc I'm just starting to look about for my first portastudio .. any help gratefully received !! I've been struggling with guitar since I was six. I had two lessons, but found my tutor's need to teach me hymns did not enmesh with my aspiration. My grandad was a pro double bassist, and my mamma used to sing for a living, so I've had quite a wide range of music banged into my ears .. This week, i am mostly listening to jackson browne, the black crows and matt monroe. It's prolly easier to tell you what I don't like .. opera/most classical music/nu-metal/cheesy jazz .. Hell, I even have taylor swift on my my-pod .. I only recently returned to noodling after about a twenty year break, I still love to turn everything up to eleven (spinal tap ?) and spank my tele really hard, but have recently re-discovered tremolo, which, following 'net research, led me here. I'm interested in some combination of surf with a dash of glam, and mebbe's a pinch of country cow punk .. (i think ?). Please educate me in your ways surf yodas ! |

Since you asked, Zenbox, watch all these videos and absorb the vibe of history. Then watch all these videos and see what all that led to. There's a lot more, but these lists will get you started. Then search inside yourself and find your inner surf music. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Aug 04, 2013 10:56:00 |

Sergey, Welcome. If you are looking for a place to share your interest in surf or to learn more about surf, you are in the right place. We have a great bunch of guys and gals here. Everyone from absolute beginners to old hacks (like myself) to some of the best surf guitarists on the planet. I take it you play guitar in your band. What is your gear rig you are using for surf? Has your band recorded any of the band's original material. I would love to hear you guys. Talk to you later, Last edited: Aug 11, 2013 21:15:10 |

Thanks for the welcome! My modest rig is: Fender AmStandard Strat with Lindy Fralin pickups, Dunlop Overdrive pedal, Fender Reverb and Fender Blues Deluxe Combo. I want to give up the overdrive, but i can not to get thick sound without it. |
