Hi, im new to this group, I plan on starting a old school surf/old
school punk band this summer, and i'd like to know some of the chords
and scales etc of surf rock. I already play a lil SR but its just
from tabs, i play "Pipeline" and "Miserlou" and "walk dont run" you
know, the useual classics, but i'd like to write my own, so i'd like
to know some chords scales etc of surf rock.
The Em chords is the best:
E A D G B e
0 2 2 0 0 0
and gently whammy it.
This is a cool scale that you find a lot of surf songs
are based on:
A|-------0-2-3-|
E|-0-2-3-------|
and then there's also:
A|-------0-2-3-|
E|-0-1-3-------|
hebrew scale is good, it goes something like this:
E|-0-1-4-5-7-8-10-12-|
I suggest you learn all of Holiday in Cambodia if you
haven't already. In my opinion, that song is the
ultimate merger of punk rock and surf. There's a
version of the song that's Live in 1979 which I think
is the best. I believe it's on the Jello's Revenge
cd, I just have the MP3 of it. Second best I would
say is the Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables version.
The tabs I've seen on the internet are wrong, but a
good start. If you're interested I could probably tab
it out.
I found a band on MP3.com that does an interesting
blend of surf and hardcore punk. They're called Mala
Agua:
I don't really like their punk songs that much, but
they have great instrumental surf tracks in there.
