Fender Jag and Strats are the quintessential surf instruments. Some groups had jazzmasters.

@Pistefka 10 месяцев назад

One key element I would add is arpeggios. Plenty of classic surf tunes would switch from a riff/melody part (often with open strings) to some arpeggios as a way to transition to another part or cycle back into the main melody. e.g. I just learnt four surf/60s instro tunes: Surf Rider, Mr. Moto, Lullaby of the Leaves (Ventures) and El Ringo (Torquays/Wes Dakus) and they all contain arpeggios as a way to vary things and just cos they sound nice...

As soon as you demonstrated the A blues scale I instantly recognised a few popular surf bands!

@StuartRyanMusic 4 года назад

Totally right! It's amazing how much of the sound comes from the sound of that scale and occasionally tenser scales like the Phrygian/Phrygian Dominant. It's such a great genre! Stay well, Stuart

Great lesson! The Holy Trinity of Surf Guitars are the Fender Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, and Mustang. I prefer the Strat. Link Wray is known for using an SG. And Insect Surfers use a variety of humbucking guitars. Getting that classic Fender Twin Reverb amp is key to get that authentic drippy Fender Reverb. And there are also some very good reverb pedals for extra drip like the Surfybear Reverb.

@williamgarrett9479 Год назад

Don't forget the fender Jaguar..probably more so even than the Jazz master

@Tahquitz Год назад

@KRE808 2 года назад

This is such a great lesson - and complete with free sheet music as well. Really appreciate not just focusing on the melody but including the other parts as well, as well as the tone and the specifics regarding the palm muting for the tick tock. As a beginner, I tend to "cheat" by playing these surf melodies like Pipeline or Wipe Out higher up the neck on the A and D strings but this is a good reminder that for a more authentic sound (and for more finger-stretching workouts), I need to play them in the open positions. Thanks ever so much!

@yieldspreadEXP_Music 5 месяцев назад

This is one of the best guitar videos I've seen on youtube. Great explanations, at a reasonable pace, enough theory to understand relationships but then you just go on playing simple techniques and explaining the RIGHT WAY to play them. LOVE how you broke down what each guitar would be doing at any given time also. Checking out the country video now!

I just gotta say it. Don Wilson from The Ventures is hands down the best rhythm player in Rock period. He’s super percussiony and his attack is insane. Listen to the middle section to Dick Tracy or the entire Live In Japan ‘65. As cool as the Shadows are, no one can beat the Wilson/Edwards guitar assault. There’s nothing subtle about it. And it’s uniquely American. A lot of the European instrumental bands tend to have either a Shadows or Spotnicks sound. Nothing as original or exciting as The Ventures. Ever.

@christoguichard4311 Год назад

Disagree... How come The Shadows had FAR more hits, worldwide, than The Ventures? 🤔

@surfcollector Год назад

Hit singles are OK, but The Ventures sold ALBUMS and a lot of them! I’ve never heard any famous guitarist say they were influenced by The Shadows but MANY are on record saying The Ventures got them playing, including all the best British players. The fact that Japan to this day has too many Ventures cover bands to count, from teenagers to seniors. The Ventures are deeply intertwined in their pop music culture. There is a reason they are acknowledged as the worlds number one instrumental band!

Your amp is close to opposite of a surf style set-up. A Fender tube amp with spring reverb is what you want... Deluxe Reverb, Princeton, Twin Reverb, etc.

Sorry for my English. Cheers man, I really like your content!

@StuartRyanMusic 4 года назад

Thanks Mateo! Unfortunately the Tele/wah combo will be quite different, amazing for funk but it won't really do the tremolo thing like the Jazzmaster does (JMs are really quirky/unique guitars though so it's tricky to get other guitars to emulate them!). Stay well, all the best, Stuart
