Forgive me if I’m ignorant, but I can’t think of another guitar teacher on KZfaq doing the kind of videos you do. Always comprehensive, always incredibly applicable, and always inspiring. You’re doing a service to the guitar community man.

Quite frankly Adrian, that was bloody brilliant!

You need to make a surfalbum , this is too good !!!

You ended up writing one of the nicest sounding surf jams I've ever heard. 👏 Bravo sir

"Midnight Beach". I see waves gently lapping in the moonlight.

Please make an album of surf tunes, this was brilliant!!!! 👏👏👏

As a reasonably intrenched surf guitarist, I had my doubts about this video. But when you said “and the third time I’m going to play it up the octave,” I immediately knew you were one of us.

Your new surf track is terrific. Thanks for demonstrating how instead of waiting for inspiration, we can go about the creative process in a workmanlike way, testing out basic building blocks till something strikes our ear as worth developing further. On the topic of surf music, one band that I think had a very innovative take on it was The Raybeats, back in the 80s.

You really should do an instrumental album. Or any album. You deserve to be heard.

Dude, that's one of the most interesting, instructive and entertaining video's I've seen in a very long time. But what's more, you've created an authentic, artfully imaginative, and truly notable addition to the genre... The Coffin Daggers would kill for that riff! Very well done, and more power to you!

that Em to C7 is such a great sound. always reminds me of the progression to Stella Blue by the Grateful Dead. what a beautiful progression that is.

Love your surf stuff, definitely want to see more!

I'd title this one "Dead Calm Noon". Great job!!!

Flannel shirt is the classic surf look. 😎

I am a friend of Don Wilson's son of the Ventures. I've heard a lot of Surf Music .. Good Job.🏄🎸

Amazing. I wish more people were into surf rock

Sounds great, reminds me of Slacktone. The phasing sounds really good on that song.

Wow!! Wonderful work!

Awesome track Adrian, great work!

Brilliant! Great tune.

Wow, amazing!

Great work, Adrian. Well done.

Masterful!

You nailed it. Instant classic !!!

Adrian, absolute gem of a video. Thanks a lot.

Wow!! Truly amazing pal. Never stop creating.

Wow - that was great Adrian! Thanks so much for sharing your process. Very interesting indeed.

Excellent! Thank you!

Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed watching that......the whole journey from the initial idea, through the creative process, to the recording and finished product was brilliant! Thanks so much for that. I loved the finished tune. Bravo!

That was fantastic! ❤

This is just what I needed. You are great. Thank you.

Super cool!

Fantastic!

Very evocative sound. Your playing is always accurate and clean. I think you really nailed it with this piece.

Top notch Adrian! This is so good.

Really great to hear about your process, and then hear the brilliant results!

Man, I love your videos, thanks for making them!

Fantastic lesson, walking us through your creative process over the course of a few days.

Wow this rocks!!! Well done !!

You did a really nice job I definitely enjoyed it.

Awesome inspiring tune!

Very interesting and informative as always!

Very cool!

Fantastic piece! Now i want to make one too. I hope you make more videos like this. Very interesting to hear your process.

YOU ROCK ! thx so much for your insights.

Excellent!

Loved it! A very good lesson! I'm totally inspired to do my own now!

Fascinating to see the creative process play out with so many great ideas melding into a terrific song. Really well thought out and explained as is your custom.

Brilliant!🤩

That was excellent Adrian. I made my own surf track in my home studio a year or so ago & I'm delighted to say that I went about it using some of the methods you suggested in the video. Mine however isn't as well played or as professional sounding as yours but I loved doing it & had a lot of fun in the process. Keep it all coming & I also loved the latest McGeoch masterclass last week.

LOVED IT! What a blast! Appreciated you sharing the process too! Really a great tune! Please update us when you get a title!

That's fantastic Adrian. Love it.👍👍👍

WOW...Thank you.Very refreshing to listin to an absolute inspiring and original song,well done.

Absolutely brilliant that, Adrian. Appreciate the walkthrough and love the final piece! I keep trying to compose a complete piece in my humble home recording studio but, so far, without success. Your video will help a lot. Main takeaway is the limitations you self-imposed and the order that you approached it. Have to say, your final piece was uniquely Adrian. Many thanks.

Wow. Great instrumental surf song and thank you for the workflow breakdown with this. You should definitely release a surf rock instrumental album. Great work. Thanks.

You did a great job. I love it! For me, you have composed a new classic surf piece.

Great playing, teaching and a very great taste in music of the beaten track, not just the same old Rock songs

Fantastic.

Well! It.s now my favourite surf song of all time! Amazing!

Fabulous m8 keep making and teaching music , your brilliant dude Jedi master !

Excellent.

Awesome! The Ventures would be proud!

Very nicely done. Secret Surf Hideaway is my suggested title. Cheers!

c'est toujours un plaisir de découvrir de nouvelle pépite merci🏄🏄‍♂🏄‍♀

Really groovy! Have to say I would've enjoyed seeing the bass process too.

Sublime, Adrian. I'd love to see you doing more of these in different styles, your takes and exquisite creations on Indie, Alt, Post Punk, Dreampop, Shoegaze etc. Thank you for everything you do

Bravo!

I gave this a like because of the title and your way of explaining before it even started.

love it! well done:-)

The comment on inspiration and sticking with it through the struggle for ideas is so apposite

the intro section has me hoping for a spiritual sequel where you make a 60s feel garage rock / psych rock track! when you first played the chords through i wasn’t sure about the C7 but i love the way it sounds in context 👌

Super cool tune. I would have bought it back in the day.

Adrian, this was exquisite. The "story" walked in, built up, took me away, brought me back and left me wanting more. The killer tone, the phrasing, outstanding. Thank you for all you put into your art and sharing it. I was born in SoCal (Chula Vista, and lived in Imperial Beach) in the 50s. My dad and uncle were professional drag racers, owned a speed shop, were involved with and members of various car clubs, The Bean Bandits, Kingsmen, San Diego Prowlers and a few others. Surf, Rockabilly, Blues were a staple.

Best „surf course“ ever! You should think about making an album with that kind of music

I loved it

Ok we need a full album now ! Congrats great track ! Title proposal : "Archipelago Breeze".

Subscribed!! I wish more youtube guitar channels would teach how to fish like you. As someone who's trying to learn on my own, the only three guitar channels I actually watch are Andrew Clarke, Eric Haugen, and you. Because you all are comprehensive and focus on the thought process behind writing songs, and give a systematic roadmap to improve on this instrument. Thanks for these, can't be grateful enough. On a tangent, I do understand some content creators would want to keep any kind of structured knowledge behind a paywall as a way to make money, but I just think there are better ways to make money and actually help the viewer learn without having to pay first. For example, if I really appreciate a channel, I'd buy merch or albums they wrote just to support it.

The phaser really came out on the triads. Beautiful. Awesome. I wish I could create like you do. As a novice, the best compliment I can give... I understood everything you did. Sign if a great teacher. Great video. Really cool to see the progression. Thanks.

"Lone Rock Point"... enjoyable tune, thank you...

It was also fun listening. Sounded really great and interesting …. As title, Surf Moon 🌙 comes to my mind . Congrats 👏

This is the best post you’ve ever made.

I liked it a lot!

Awesome sauce! Classic in my book. Always great stuff on your channel, perfect blend of theory, creativity, intervals, space and building of tension. Love it! How about El Gatto Wave for a title, a nod to your gold waving cat that messed with your focus back in the not so distant past!

Really great surf tune! Has Detective feel..

Thank you! I love surf, but what I really appreciated was the simple well broken down look at the song writing process, as well as the approachable look into the mechanics and elements of the genre. I would love to see one for other styles as well!

Nice piece of surf guitar music, good sounding guitar....I realy like your channel main reason is your good taste in music ***** and your playing ....a nice interesting Mix.....******

well done

un exercice de style bien mené, le son est super

That.. is one beautiful Jazzmaster my friend ❤

Top-notch and great video - thanks! My title suggestion is 'Cascadia', just by how it made me think of northern California/Oregon/Washington surf.

Oh, wow, Adrian, this is GREAT! Both the lesson and your superb surf-rock piece. Outstanding! Suggested name: The Lewis & Harris Trail Inspiration: Although I'm from the U.S., my wife is from Scotland, and as I understand it the isles of Lewis & Harris can actually have some good surfing from time to time, so given where you are and where you're from, I thought it would be nice to have a UK reference. And whenever I see "Lewis & Harris" I think of Lewis & Clark, which is a US history reference, can't be helped: after the Louisiana Purchase, which massively expanded the young US all the way to the Pacific, they walked the trail from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean, so we hear a lot about the Lewis & Clark Trail. The reached the end of their trail when they hit the West Coast of the US, which is where surf-rock and surf culture originated, so it all ties in. The Lewis & Harris Trail

This is so cool

Legend!!!!
