i want to learn bumble bee stomp. any suggestions of a decent version
to figure it out from? the surf coasters version is a bit much for
me....carol (this site's quiet tonight, is everyone watching
football?)
are you talkin' about the song that was on this list or somewhere on
the net and refferenced to on this list as "flight of the bumblebee"?
it was a live recording?
if so, i have figured it out for a large part, the stand meloedies in
any case, I could do you a written version and mail it as jpeg, not
to fond of those txt like tabs. drop me a line of list if i can help.
as for how incredibly awesome great a player an transcriber I am
(LOL, wink, TIC), windows media player has this nice feature
called "play half speed" - and it still was pretty fast. i can't get
anywhere near the speed the surf caosters play it at (and i don't
know any other version) - and at a lesser speed, the whole idea of
the song sorta dissapears imo.

Carol, the two versions I can think of that are much more managable
are by the Ventures and the Atlantics.
The Ventures:
the studio version ("Bumble Bee Twist") appears on the album "Twist
With the Ventures"; there are also two live versions, one on the quasi-
live album "On Stage" and the other on the kick-ass real live
album "Live In Japan '65".
The Atlantics:
"Bumble Boogie" was the b-side of their next-to-final instro single
from '65 ("Goldfinger" was the a-side). You can find it on two
CDs: "The Explosive Sound of the Atlantics" (Repertoire Records)
or "The Complete CBS Recordings, Vol. 2" (Canetoad Records).
Hope that helps.

technical standpoint. Virtually everyone else playts a minimized

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?
