Jeez, a lot of posts here; apologies if this one has gone around already and I missed it: I long for some surfy Jim Campilongo.

Mike McCready and Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. They did a fun little surf-inspired track called "Gremmie Out Of Control" on their rarities album and i thought it was great |

I just got back home from a trip across the HUDSON RIVER from JERSEY CITY, N.J. Made a trek out there to catch the cool band BONGO SURF www.myspace.com/bongosurf Sitting in with them was legendary guitarist CARLOS ALOMAR!!! He clearly knew the songs, the melodies, of some classic vintage surf, and he used his 'pedals' to the max, pulling off some great 'effects'!! no disappointments tonight, that's fior sure!! {you gotta check out his discography on his MySpace site -- www.myspace.cn/guitarlos1} special thanks and a shout-out to Paul and Patty of the TarantinosNYC who were there, too; they were kind enuf to give me a ride back to NYC via the Holland Tunnel UNSTEADY FREDDIE — |

Am I really the first in the thread to say Eric Johnson. Wow, I'm surprised... But really, that man is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. He's done a few surf-inspired songs, and I thought they were great. It'd be a thrill to hear him dive into the surf genre for a song a two. —"Hope is a waking dream." - Aristotle |

I had 3 tied : Eric Gales, Johnny Hiland and Joe Bonamassa. I think surf would push them all out of their comfort zone a bit. but there be chops galore between 'em. |

Jim Campilongo has already been nominated here, but he'd be my choice too. With his Telecaster, Princeton amps, and love of reverb, he's halfway to surfdom already. How would he work all those tone swells and bending into a surf tune? That would be amazing to hear. |

as I remember, Campilongo has a more surfish track with the 10 gallon cats, but I don't find it —original compositions (low-level demo stuff /out of tune, etc) myStuff not my best, but i don't like to be in a musician community without anything to show |

I have to second the requests for East Bay Ray and Johnny Marr. Brian Setzer had one surfy track on his InstruMental album from a few years back called Go Go Godzilla... I also wouldn't mind hearing Thurston and the rest of Sonic Youth attempt a few surfy tracks, as they would surely be quite interesting. —THE KBK ... This is the last known signal.

Robert Fripp -- he got kind of close (or at least as close as he could get) on the League of Gentlemen album. — |

Brian Setzer, all he would have to do is swap the Gretch for a Jaguar (he already uses a Fender Bassman amp) and he is set to surf! —'Surf Music Lasts Forever' |

My vote is for Richard Thompson, who is playing electric on tour again lately. We got a taste of Richard playing surf (with Jerry Donahue) on the 1986 The album features a Shadows medley called Hanks For The Memory: Surf or not you can always count on something interesting from Richard...

My vote goes to James Mankey of Concrete Blonde.Yes James released a solo album about a decade ago that tapped into his tropical island Davie Allan,but he'd totally bringing when it comes to surf.Dusty Watson used to play for CB back in the 90's,or was the late 80's? and I'm sure he'd have my back on this one. —Reverb, It's A Way Of Life! |

Los Lobos, Marc Ribot, Reeves Gabrels, Adrian Belew, and Scott Ian. The last 3 would be interesting to hear on a Jazzmaster, reverb tank, and Showman. Reeves played on Upstart's comp Beyond the Beach with Tin Machine. Not very trad, as one would suspect. Rev —Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Aug 24, 2013 13:22:17 |
