RE: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Besides Am,Dm,Em,Fm what chords are used in surf music?

Dave Becker (novapup2001) - 13 Aug 2005 16:03:44

Jon and others, thanks for the comments. Interesting.
Dm and Am good too, yes?
I would think Ab and C# are not very conducive to open style leads
(making heavy use of opens as root or passing tones in your leads), but
I imagine it depends on how you adapt your style and scale playing (?)
