Welcome Adam:
It seems like you're off on the right foot. You have a pal
to work with and some equipment. And you found SG101.
Just like anything, surf guitar is nice and simple for
beginers, but it takes a lifetime to master! I'd say, find
a couple of tunes you dig and start working them out...one
of my first was "Batman" by Neil Hefti. Then "Pipeline" by
the Chantays. Then "Bite the Hand That Feeds" by Agent
Orange. I began playing back in the 80s...so I learned a
bunch of punk stuff (like the Ramones) as well as a bunch
of surf stuff (like the Ventures).
Well, there's a ton of cool stuff out there these days.
I'm sure you'll do fine.
Good luck, and I look forward to your input here at SG101.
