This folks, is superb, old school, surf music on display. They just walk out of Miserlou right into a final flurry of Rumble...unheard of, yet they do it so seamless & natural. Dick Dale & Link Wray in one song by truly talented players who love the music, Wow!
I had to rewatch all these awesome Slacktone vids after seeing them play live yesterday at the pier. Dave F, thank you so much for your diligence with these, your uploads are greatly appreciated. The audio, visual, and overall content of your videos is superb.
After seeing Dick Dale the first time around 2003, it took a while before I realized that Dusty was also on Lita Ford's first album about 20 years earlier.
Thanks Dave F! When I watched this I literally cried. I live in Nebraska now because I must. But as a California native I used to frequent Huntington Beach. The pier. The beach. The drum circle...Main Street...PCH...etc. Your performance reminded me of when I played with my friends in SoCal with my bands. And sometimes we'd even play Surf music too. Bless all of you! I so hope this lineup as of 2024 is still ariund and Rockin'! Carry on gents!
I am not familiar with this group but watching a middle aged man absolutely fucking shred the guitar and make those faces, and then begin to just howl towards the end is incredible.
Age means nothing, someday hopefully you'll realize that Look up Les Paul. And all those rockers from 1950s, 1960s, 1970, 1980s, are as old as this guy.
Who are these 7 people? WTF do you want from a surf band? I swear they gave you everything you could ever want short of lighting the entire stage on fire while they play.
@@manuellayburr382 Thanks, I’ve actually tried this myself since making the comment, copied the notes and got pretty far in imitating the intro riff style. Even after this I’m still left wondering what type of strumming pattern that is, it’s got sort of a middle eastern feel I can’t put my finger on. I would honestly be surprised if slacktone of all bands was really the first one to play surf like that because then to me it’s revolutionary and underrated. If you or anyone can point to other bands/music genres with that kind tremolo picking that would be awesome because with slacktone, sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint their influence.
@@Robert-qn4ox The earliest surf version was I believe by Dick Dale in 1963 (plays guitar left-handed with thinnest strings upwards!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Fb5apHfjug.html - Before that you have to go back to the original ballad - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n3tJ_XyBwyE.html
Surf music is an amazing story. Read up on it. Dick Dale bought guitars and amps directly From Leo Fender. When he kep blowing up his little Princeton amps Leo and Freddy Tavares went to see Dick Dale in concert. That was the exact moment of inspiration for bigger, louder amps; The Showman, Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb. The start of guitar shredders and loud amps began in SoCal with Dick Dale and Surf Music.
