dp Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3546 mojave desert, california	Posted on May 31 2015 11:28 PM The original B. Spears "Toxic" was remixed and caught my attention, it has a decent "surf /instro" song structure... I thought I could do justice to Brittney's original version by making it into a pure instrumental, but the Space Mosquito version of the tune is just so good and rockin'... Top
Syndicateofsurf Joined: Oct 08, 2014 Posts: 1073 Northern Ohio	Posted on Jun 01 2015 06:21 AM Mid-tempo piece, 'Surfer's Lament (the Quiet Sea). It's one of those that write themselves.

el_camello Joined: Jul 04, 2010 Posts: 369 Ottawa	Posted on Jun 02 2015 09:35 AM After essentially playing the same songs for over a month I've started to learn some new stuff... Big Soul Beat by the New Dimensions. Good slower minor blues surf. Trying to transcribe some Les Baxter. Some of it translates to guitar/surf but most of it doesn't quite work. Good creative exercise at the very least. — -Pierre The Obsidians! (Ottawa surf) The Obsidians debut EP Top

Noel Joined: Mar 15, 2011 Posts: 8528 Back in Piitsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I grew up.	Posted on Jun 10 2015 08:10 PM And now for something mostly completely different. Bass on Green Onions, Girl From Ipanema, Twist (a shag-rhythm version by Nokie Edwards of The Twist) and two songs that are scaring me - bass on Santana's Black Magic Woman and Herb Alpert's Lollipops and Roses. Plus rhythm guitar for Brazil and The Millionaire, and lead guitar for Romantic Moon. Ah, yes. It's time to start learning songs for the 2015 Ventures Fan Fest. — This is Noel.

Syndicateofsurf Joined: Oct 08, 2014 Posts: 1073 Northern Ohio	Posted on Jun 12 2015 07:19 AM I wants to share this here song with you all. It was my first instrumental. Wrote it when I was 16. Re-recorded it just a while back. The original was done on 2 cassette recorders for the overdub. On my Sears Silvertone. I have to say, I always thought it was something. — Da Vinci Flinglestein, The quest for the Tone, the tone of the Quest The Syndicate of Surf on YouTube http://www.syndicateofsurf.com/ http://sharawaji.com/ http://surfrockradio.com/ Top

I've gone to a PG57 also on the Champ also (miniature version of Ivan's 2 amps), just for a bit of extra something & it's really nice the two together.

Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4536 Wisconsin	Posted on Jul 04 2015 01:43 PM Interlude before progenal sub-units arrive for fireworks tonight. In a previous interview w/Ivan I got his mention of the Byzantine scale (double-harmonic scale, "Gypsy", et al) and had lazily put that on the long to-do list. So I've decided to work on that and see where it leads me. As a little piano-playing kid I had quite the sight-reading skills for my age, but long gone (use it or lose it). So just nugging it out by ear. (I do use tabs once in a while if my ear's confused & curious about where someone's playing something on the neck but not usually.) So this is a very fun start down a trail, one baby step at a time and, an hour in, there are flickering neurons in my brain that open up new paths. Lately been loving my JM alot & it can take me from Santa Monica to Croatia and points in between, but for this the Strat with the echo pedal is more simpatico given I'm kind of out of my comfort zone. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
