Hi Delrin96mm Welcome to surfguitar101 & the world of surf music ! These are some of the earliest "guitar instrumentals" I ever learned (but this was back in 1964). Try: |

Some easy starters are: These have tabs if you need them. There are also tabs here: https://surfguitar101.com/downloads/category/tablature/title/ I found surf guitar was a significant learning curve to playing the guitar. The emphasis is on the picking hand more than flashy dexterity of the fingerboard hand. Much less bending and more bursts of picking. Suddenly, plectrums become really, really important and personal. (There are epic threads about plectrums on here!) — |

Rumble by Link Wray (backing track on this site) I'd recommend you get Audacity for your computer. It's pretty easy software to learn, and it's free. You can slow a song down to help in learning and you can loop through a section for practicing the tougher parts. —If I'd stop buying old guitars to fix, I might actually learn to play. |

Penetration is one of the first songs the Reverbivores played as well. It's such a good tune, though, that it remains in the setlist, even when we have to pare down for time restraints. —The Reverbivores - we're local favorites! |

I’ve aways shyed away from the classics because EVERYONE plays them, whether in a punk rock band, a bar band, a garagey thing or whatever. So, my go to’s are firewater and smurf party. |

Delrin, Glad you’re enjoying Bruce’s lessons, I know I’ve found them to be very informative and helpful, plus Bruce just seems to know how to present the material well. Congrats on your progress and keep working on those chops. And most important, keep coming back to the best website on the internet. You won’t find a better or more supportive bunch of folks anywhere than you will here. —More cowbell?? Nah...More Reverb!! |
