That's a good point you make, Wannes. Developing your own arrangement is a nice
by-product of "sort of figuring out" the record. Wronski's Slacktone recordings
do have some clever lines that are challenging as well as some good basic
melodies that beginners could master. Surf music received much of it's early
popularity because it was easy for young quitarists to pick up by ear. That's a
part of the tradition that should be encouraged.

I'm sorta with ya here Marty, esp. when talking about relativly easy
stuff. I don't usually tab, but that's because i tend to remeber it
anyway and I am pretty lazy by nature.
Another thing is that creating your own versions of songs is all
about sort of of figuring it out and then jam on it with the band
WITHOUT listining to the original again for a while. That's when your
own particular style pops in, for better or for worse.
Having said that, I'm perfectly willing to throw in my 2 cents. How
about providing a handwritten tab for the Slacktones version of the
wedge (from the prague cd) and the Tiki bar crawl (this last one was
pretty dificult and I'm positive I'm wrong on some points).
Unfortunatly, I'm too stupid (and lazy by nature) to figure out
tabbing on the pc, so someone else has to do that, unless scanned
jpegs are go.
I'd be happy to look at the pier btw, we play it so i should know it.
