I started a guitar club at my University (Woodbury U. in Burbank, CA) last
semester and every week we learned surf tunes. It worked out well for the
varied levels of guitarists that attended. I'd have the beginner section
learning the rhythm parts and the more adbvanced students taking the lead.
There was a bass player as well. At the end of each meeting we'd have a
guitar orchestra of as many as 20 students playing Baja, Miserlou, Mr Moto
etc...It was a great sound. The students really took to it but I can't say
any really made surf their passion (yet!)
Anyways, if you're still attending college, start a guitar club and teach
'em surf!
