anyone know or play Jetster by the Chandells? its on the lost legend
Vol 1 comp.
such an amazing song, and what a great example of how it's a matter of
tone and touch rather then technique and speed. I just love the main
riff, I figured out the notes pretty quickly, but for the love of god i
cant get it to sound anywhere near how it's supposed to sound. it
sounds like the root niote is played fretted and open string
simultanously in the same riff, but since the note's a low B, how did
they do it. Did they use capo's back then? tuned up a whole note?
anyone?
From what I could find on the net quickly, jetster and el gato (on the
same comp) seem to be their only recordings. Is that so or is there
something to look out for?
thanks, WR
Those two songs are cool! I don't play "the jetster", but I do
play "el gato" when I can find my capo. To play it like it is on
the cd, I have to capo my guitar at the 2nd fret (I think). I
don't think they used a capo, probably re-tuned the guitar, but I
could be wrong. I read that these songs were recorded in Clovis,
New mexico, where all the Buddy Holly tracks were cut, as well as
the Fireballs. Very cool sound. Hard to duplicate. Fairly easy
songs until you try to play them with a group, then the little
details of the original recordings become obvious.

I think they're the Fireballs.

On the "Legends of Surf Guitar" comp, there's a pic of the
band, and its not of the Fireballs. It could be them playing, but
I kinda doubt it judging by the songs. "El Gato" is a pretty hot
tune, played with some enthusiasm that the Fireballs never showed.

Wannes,
Congrats on the little one(part 2)
As for the Jester, I assume that is a cover of the Jim Messina and
the Jesters original version. If that is the same song you are
talking about. The Treblemakers from Canada did it on the "Flippin'
the Bird" cd on Gee Dee records.
A lot of that Jim Messina and the Jesters stuff just rips.
By the way, I forgot to tell everybody.
I got the 70's version of that from Lee Josephs of Dionysus
a couple weeks back for 20 bucks, in mint condition. woo hoo!!

You're thinking of Messina's "The Jester" which has no relationship at
all to "Jetster" (note spelling differences).
