JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Apr 06 2013 03:15 AM I just discovered Davy Graham's Maajun (Taste of Tangiers)from his debut 1964 album "The Guitar Player". That is an exotic gem waiting for a surf workup! Only other version I see is a British folk-prog workup by Goliath, 1970. Also "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Exodus" among others. Got a theme – Arabs and Israelis – going on here. — Squink Out! Top

Rich Joined: Jan 20, 2013 Posts: 30	Posted on Apr 21 2013 03:45 PM Drumsdick and I just finished a cool version of "Surf Rider". Though as guitarist, I failed in incorporate the original odd lead-in. Didn't sound like surf to me. So, I'm not a purist. I'm sure some will forgive us. Thanks again to Dick for the drums. Rich Top

BigKen Joined: May 08, 2008 Posts: 253 Motor City Surfer	Posted on Apr 21 2013 07:57 PM I may be late to the party with these but, 2 songs I learned today were: "Firewater" and "The Hearse" by the Astronauts. "Jet Set" by Los Straitjackets recently... what a blast going back and forth with my other guitarist in my band. Took some time, but its probably our favorite to play. — Fin Doctors Crashmatics Top

Rich Love it, Rich! I will probably steal some ideas. I just laid this one down I call Cataveña after the amazing high desert of central Baja. This was just a multitrack recorder with a drum machine a friend loaned me. Plenty of mistakes, haven't quite read the manual on it yet. Loads of Slacktone influence (thanks Dave!) https://soundcloud.com/tj-yarbrough/catavena — https://gnarlymen.bandcamp.com/ Top
RobC Joined: Oct 11, 2010 Posts: 152 Bainbridge Island, Washington	Posted on Jul 12 2013 07:06 PM I am digging the super chillness of that tune. Well done. I always thought a couple sets of mellow surf music would go over well at restaurants as mojito guzzling background music. This would fit the bill nicely. Top
JObeast Joined: Jul 24, 2012 Posts: 2762 Finknabad, Squinkistan	Posted on Jul 12 2013 11:51 PM Ennio Morricone's "Il Clan dei Siciliani", the sountrack version. It's been covered very nicely by Zorn's Naked City Orchestra like 30 yrs ago, so it's time to resurrect it. — Squink Out! Top

hlieboff59 Joined: Jun 27, 2008 Posts: 576 Marlboro, New Jersey	Posted on Jul 13 2013 02:05 PM Actually working on 2 at the same time. Bullwinkle Part 2...it seems everybody plays it different. Since I'm a huge Outerwave fan, I'm learning their version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m65FFDJCCCI And to practice it somebody put a great backtrack on this site in downloads. -Also learning one of my favorite Elminators songs...Sunset Glide. Almost have it done. For some reason it came pretty fast to learn. Top

Demina Joined: Feb 10, 2012 Posts: 5 Vile Chapel, Corsica Continent, SL	Posted on Sep 28 2013 12:23 AM I've been working on "The Ventures Medley". Have "Walk Don't Run" down pretty good as I learned it off the old Play Guitar With The Ventures records back in the day. Got most of "Lullaby of the Leaves" and starting on "Perfidia". I'm using Songsterr tabs for those. I recently finished working out "Go Go Slow" (from Ventures A Go Go) by ear. Next project I think will be "Return of the Reverb Kid" by The Surfaders (who I believe I heard about here at SurfGuitar101). Last edited: Sep 28, 2013 01:56:30 Top
