What is Typical surf chord progession?

Jerry (whipeoutboy63) - 08 Nov 2002 06:37:05

Hi all,
Just a question. I was wondering how you can adapt a non surf song into
a surf tune without changing it too much, so it still sounds like the
original?
I know it has been done, I heard an amazing surf cover from a Beatles
song on MP3 "We are the Walrus?" (sorry I don't know a lot about the
beatles)
Just playing the song with enough wet reverb doesn't do the trick, but
what does? What is so typical about the chord progression that we call
it Surf? (Of course the drummer has a great responsibly regarding the
typical sound)
Thanks,
Jerry S. from Belgium.
