Traquilizer (High Tide) by The Lively Ones. At that point the shop where I wuz taking guitar lessons went into recivership and I got screwed out of amonths worth of lessons. From then on I've learned every song I know by ear. Chad Cote |

The first song I learned "period" was "Wipe Out" on an acoustic Kent, which can roughly be described as a guitar. |

I started with various riffs and bits and pieces from all over, but my first song through and through was actually Transylvanian Orbit (now Ricochet), also on an acoustic. (I don't even have an electric guitar |

I think the first instro song was "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". Very little surf content in that.

Probably "Having an Average Weekend" by the Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Maybe not technically surf, but close enough. |

ok.... I'm coming in late on this...... so sue me. Probably in just about THIS order... I learned (and performed publicly) TALL COOL ONE - The Wailers Let me say that STOKED is a nifty little song. We learned it way before all the prejudice against the BB's began. I mean back when they were a really boss blasting surf group. A time very few people remember, or will admit to. thanks for your patience. Louie7 Last edited: Feb 08, 2007 09:55:56 |

ok...we're awl in agreement...Stoked is good. Monsoon is a really good tune....but I never sat down with it. One of the first things I learned to do (before chords, even) was double-picking. We had a complete maniac for a drummer and I had a very loud amp (Fender narrow-panel PRO) so.....Miserlou was sort of a show stopper for us. That one and Let's Go Trippin'...mostly because we just put tons of raw teenaged energy and plenty of raw Fender power into them. The crowds seemed to really like those tunes. Prabably because they were fast and different. I remember big college guys getting in my face (I was only 15)...wanting to hear those songs again, and AGAIN....(later they'd do the same thing with Louie Go Home, Oo poo pah doo, and Big Boy Pete...typical frat rock behavior) I guess they wanted to dance nutty with their plaid-skirted white-bloused bee-hive-haired college girl-friends. In a way, I don't blame them...even if they were obnoxious jocks. hehe L7 |
