doh! man, what a list.
just listened (in fact: am listening for the 5th time) to the
Ventures live '65 version (the only one that i knew for sure I had
upon seeing Phil's list) and i must say, however impressive the Surf
coasters are, I like the ventures version a shitload better, mainly
because of the timing and stacato-ish details. Not a ventures fan per
se, but I love that aspect of their playing.
what's cool about the SC version is that, where the Vs have the 'fly-
around' riff down and up between e and c - imitating insect flying
through the room - the SC play on the same idea, yet lift up to f
every second riff. and, since an insects pitch gets higher aproaching
you due to the Doppler-effect, that little thingy very accuratly
mimmick a mosquito flying right by your ear - you know, when you try
to hit it and end up missing it, slamming yourself in the head
instead. for that, and for SC shredder-speed it should be called
Mosquito stomp.
any other version have that variation?
