Good afternoon all,
Up until recently I've always held surf music as a genre that I like, but am seldom in the mood for. I'm really interested in incorporating surf sounds into the music I play.
What's a good resource, be it video, book, or website that's good for teaching me the cliches and techniques of the surf genre? My style of playing sit's somewhere between rhythm and lead, kind of like what you would hear in a band that's just drums, guitar, and bass.
Also as a side question, what's a really fun surf song to learn that is also at the very least, somewhat technically challenging?

I'd recommend Catalina by Jon and the Nightriders. There's a backing track on SG101.

Surf Rider is a nice place to start. Of course, virtually everyone learned Pipeline, sooner or later.

The first tunes I learned to play were Pipeline, Walk Don't Run and Apache. Those got me into the genre for other surf, spy and spaghetti western tunes.
I also leaned heavily into JBruce's surf demos with scrolling tabs. I found it very helpful.
