Thanks Deathtide

I guess a hard song to perform and pull it off and sound good is Telstar on guitar, If you have cool effects it sound pretty good, but wow I don't know?

I like this guy, I have seen many of his videos - he's pretty good - I got to learn this song someday. If it had a more Surftone and energy to it it would sound fantastic I think. I have trouble playing the Latin style right now.

I've heard surf versions of this song and it is great!!!

This one is always hard for me for some reason. I just didn't practice hard enough) I always forget this song and how to play it for some reason - I can remember the Spanish Kiss lick in there like Dick Dale uses on to of his songs - but wow ...for some reason this one is always hard for my brain. Whatever

Malaguena is such an awesome adaptation of... a flamenco song! I like the Trashwomen cover of it the most.

In addition to classical, someday I’d love to learn some flamenco. But I can’t stand long fingernails, and I can understand how different using nails vs. fingerpicks could be far more precise.

That's awesome. Picking the notes from within a chord then trem picking. Squid kicking the shit out of it!

Telstar makes a great cover when you trem pick the main riff. Attack it and it gives the main riff the vibe and modulation of the keyboard. All other guitar covers fail.

I have seen your videos before - Your the band with the dancing girls right?
You guys got the surf vibe ... cowabunga dude

Yeah I might make a few videos...but I want the camera pointed down at the fret board close up from the players perspective so people can see how all these songs were played on records (and so I can remember them as well.) Many cool songs never get played out much (I think because it takes to long to learn them etc) Now that I wasted most of my life playing all these songs it would be nice to share the knowledge. I'm thinking a strap on sports HD camera on my head so I can move the view for big moves with close up view etc. You could see all the fingerings better and not backwards like most videos.

I'm thinking of doing the whole Surf Mania album by The Surf Teens because its like Surf Guitar 101 being all the songs were very good covers and a good cross-section of the techniques in 1963.
It would feature the wiggly G technique found on many surf tunes on the D string. It took me a while to figure that out. Stuff like that.

Helmet cam! Show what it's like shredding from the performers perspective. That would be great!

Yeah we like to have as much crazy at our shows as possible. Dancing girls, confetti, you name it!

Is it in Asia Minor or some other scale? (Just Kidding)
I tore up some Ventures records practicing - Walk Don't Run 64 is still my favorite and play it a lot.

I think I have this album on my flash card along with hundreds of others I haven't got to yet. They put out a 10th anniversery album once that had a lot of classical type music in Venture s style.
Cool tune. I couldn'r find the Ivan's version but found some other group below.

Ok I'm chilling - been out in the sun too long at the beach

How about some Murphy The Surfie - not sure which band first band recorded this tune from (Australia). I learned this like three times and just keep forgetting how it goes, so it is hard for me at least . The Surfaris (USA) had a 45 and so did The Joy Boys (Australia) - not sure which was first? The Detours claim to fame was The Who had to change their name when these guys showed up in London in 1963 being both bands had the same name - The Who thought they were from the USA. I will have to watch this instruction video below a few times first. I found this a while ago. I found a live Joy Boys video I can't find now that showed the lead pretty good.

Well I had to look it up: I thought Ivan was the group name

"The Space Cossacks started playing in 1996 when an ad in a Washington D.C. weekly brought them together. The Space Cossacks sound is a wild and powerful blend of moods. The band's songs are intense, aggressive, moody, intricate yet accessible, beautiful and "other-worldly". A sound that's not easy to describe. Croatian lead guitarist, Ivan Pongracic, along with Catherine Gray (bass) and Mark English (rhythm guitar), is what makes The Space Cossacks "Ukrainian-Space" surf music so distinct."
