Hands down the coolest tone on the planet. Nothing beats early surf rock. Dick Dale was something special.
@BlueBlackOrangeTux11 жыл бұрын
He's a lefty that learned to play a right handed guitar upside down, but kept it strung like a right handed guitar. When the left handed strat came out, he strung the strings upside down.
@yarygork23343 жыл бұрын
Thats why he bangs on the low notes with such ease. He doesnt "anchor" down his strumming left hand which is very hard to get good at.

I'm also one of those oddball guitarists...but it's always baffled me as to why it should be so damn odd? Would have thought that the vast majority of lefties, picking up a guitar for the 1st time, would likely be picking up a standard right-handed guitar, that being far more readily to hand, than a much less likely left-handed guitar just happening to be there waiting for them? Anyone ever come across a right hander playing a standard left-handed guitar upside down by the way??

I've seen Dick for the past 15 years every time I had the chance. This is about as close to an actual "Smoke on the Water" as he would get, meaning that he ALWAYS threw in a bunch of other stuff. Sam Bolle, his bass player, said that he had to watch every second because Dick would go anywhere he wanted, and throw it to Sam for solos at a moment's notice. Wonderful stuff; we have lost a true giant of music!!

No one but Dick Dale is King of the Surf Guitar. He was like The Ventures in one guitar or Deep Purple in one guitar. It makes perfect sense that he took up martial arts as the guru of reverb consciousness. Misirilou was the only reason I got a '64 Fender Jaguar and he passed away a half hour's drive from me RIP, King.
