Pacifica by Los StraitJackets

surftrash53 - 07 Aug 2002 01:12:58

Can anyone post the basic chord structure for "Pacifica" as
performed by Los Straitjackets? What a great tune, can't get it out
of my head.
Thanks

You might wanna start off with 'University Blvd" that they did on the first
or second album - a better song in my opinion, and the basis for 'close to
champagne' and 'pacifica' in structure. All three songs are pretty close I
think, and as you said, great songs, all.
The Straits have came closer than most to achieving that 'less is more'
early Ventures style of guitar music. And who can argue with that stage
show, eh? Wish I had thought of half of that stuff.

Hi,
I've almost got this one. I need to fix up a few parts that aren't quite
right then I'll post it,
hopefully by the weekend.
Thanks,
BN

BN,
Wew-Who!! Man, I really appreciate you going to the trouble writing the tab
for Pacifica! I work two jobs and really rely on tab a lot rather than
spending time I don't have to "pick" out songs. I wish I could return the
favor, but thanks. I'll work through it and let you know how it goes. Have a
great weekend. (I wonder if I can find a ski mask to wear while learning this
one?)
