I need help on a style
Hey there everyone, I play mostly bass but I've been trying to advance in guitar but the reason why I'm making this entry is because I need help writting a surf song. You see, I'm interested in surf music and I was wondering if anyone out there new some scales or something that is commonly used by surf music or even a technique because the only thigns that I've learned to play was a surf song called "Mr. Motto" and "Wipe Out" and those are completely different. E-mail me at [email]Itstimfromschool@aol.com[/email] if you can help me or just post back. PLEASE HELP!! :eek:

Get a nice, twangy tone going, with some reverb too, and use some tremolo picking in there, and just play a nice, twangy 12 bar blues. After that, learn some Beach Boys songs.
And God said, 'Let there be rock!'

A lot of the style has to do with the drums. Get a drummer with good rhythm to start a beat similar to Wipeout (that 4 count, with heavy emphasis on the "one") and you can play almost anything over it you want.

Get some nice reverb first of all.
Try using a lot of double stops, like chuck berry style fourths and stuff, maybe work some penta stuff in.
I like the harmonic minor for that exotic surf stuff, use a lot of trem. picking with it and you'll be sounding like a brilliant surf guitarist that knows more than just 12 bar stuff (but learn twelve bar forms to).
That should help you, also study who ya like as far as surf guitarists (I'm not familiar with many...)
