Common surf chord progressions WAS what chords are used in surf music?

John Brownlow (pinkheadedbug) - 12 Aug 2005 09:21:21

Ok my first response was too glib. The question of surf chord
progressions is actually an interesting one since some of them are
quite distinctive...
obviously there's
Im / Im / IVm / Im / V7 / IVm / Im / Im
used in songs like Pipeline
and
IV / IIIb / IIb / I (usually with some VIIbm and V7 thrown in)
as used in Walk Don't Run...
next?
