A drummer friend and I are laying down all the tracks, bass lead drums and rhythm using it as a tutorial on mastering before we lay down some originals.

I am currently working on rhythm of almost 30 songs right now for a gig on Dec 18th. All these barre chords are killing my thumb/hand muscle!!! But it feels good playing so much surf.

Josh, remember to hold the pick loosely, otherwise you tense up all the muscles and fatigue easier. Try lighter picks for rhythm too.

"Cry For a Shadow" by the Beatles. I wonder what SG101 thinks of this song. I'm sure it has been discussed here before, no?

Landlocked by the Bambi Molesters. Not too difficult but you have to really relax to get the right feel.

Landlocked is part of my "work out list" of songs that demand certain techniques and/or quick changes between them, which means I play it 3-4 times a week. But I play along to the re-recorded version on the "Deluxe" album, which is a bit less "relaxed".

Maybe I should finally ask my band to put it on the setlist as well, so that all the work pays of a little?

Simoncoil: definitely add Landlocked. it is wicked and crowds love it.

It is well suited for a trio also. Your bass player will have to tune up his syncopation chops. As a bass player myself, that goofy bass line is definitely the bridge between drums and guitars.

I just listed to some Los Apollos from your link. You guys rock. Bomb Stop is particularly killer in my opinion.
