This young guy can PLAY GUITAR, plus he's a darn good teacher as well.

This is how all guitar lessons should start. Play the piece entirely so we can determine if we like it or not. Awesome job!

Adrian, you made it sound exactly like the recording!

What is amazing is how Adrian nails the tone of so many different types of music. Congratulations Adrian !!!

If my memory is correct, although he was born in America, Dick Dale has a Lebanese background & the song was usually played an an Oud, which is an instrument with eleven strings. He heard Miserlou being played on one through a Lebanese connection, liked it & adapted it for guitar. The original version was popular with belly dancers. His version is popular with everyone :)

This is most accurate cover, the best picking and the best sound I've heard among millions covers of this song! Great work!

No need to be humble. You crushed it.

Brilliant! Thanks for doing this! About the scale: this is the exact scale that all of Indian classical music relies on. I'm from the south of India, where we refer to this as the Carnatic scale. I've been listening to Miserlou for years, and I never put two and two together, somehow -- thank you for breaking it down so well! This has been a revelation.

Light years ahead of other lessons, no disrespect to them but your attention to detail is incredible.

the scale in miserlou is called Hitzazkiar in greek rembetiko music , other scales from rembetiko could be possibly used to write surf songs (rast, niavent, etc)

Dick Dale: King of the Surf Guitar. There are still some old folks around these parts that remember him playing at the Balboa Ballroom. He is a local hero here.

I’ve been lucky enough to see Dick Dale live 10-12 times. You sound great Adrian. Thanks for the lesson.

Thanks Adrian. Your lessons have got me out of a rut and playing again.

Omg Adrian this is extraordinary! Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you and yours 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥳

Such a great Jam. Always better to watch someone play it than just hear it. Great way to start the decade! Cheers.

Love the channel. Amazing player

Well played Adrian. I admire your playing technique and your fantastic sense of rythm. Thank you for reviving Surf music. Fabulous stuff.

I’ve seen the king twice and it was amazing both times. Dude played slide with a drumstick and the trumpet An absolute ferocious player and one hell of a nice guy. Rip

Another fabulous lesson, Adrian. Cheers

Outstanding as always, awesome playing, great lesson...time to start practicing!! Thanks Adrian, you rock!!

Outstanding, Adrian! And as a beginner, I'm really appreciating the detail you give in your teaching.

this is fantastic. It's the most accurate lesson for miserlou. Nobody on youtube did the phrasing right until this video

Thanks Adrian. A superb lesson on an excellent guitar piece. The explanation about the scale and history meant nothing was left out. Very grateful for your amazing work. (Melbourne, Australia)

Love your vids, tones, gear, playing, & open approach, Adrian

What a great play along with! Great practice!

Sounds amazing! Thanks for the lesson ❤

That Defo has the wow factor. I'd never heard of this track until I saw a Paul David's video. Fantastic playing and great backing. Great.

Amazing, thank you can't wait to see part 2

Nailed it, man. The sound and the playing. Kudos.

Amazing play and lesson. You nailed it thank you.

Just one word: AWESOME!

Great to have the technical details and clear explanation of how to play. Many thanks

Wow! What a fantastic rendition. Love the backing track too 👌

What a way to start the new years! I love surf guitar!

Amazing job. Dick Dale would be proud.... of himself for creating this song in ‘62. He never seemed to be Mr. Humble. That said, you absolutely nailed it. Great job and I can’t wait for part two.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate this a 50! Maniacal attention to detail makes for compelling content. Bravo!

That was special! Well done and thanks for sharing it 🌌☘️🌠

WOW! This is bloody awesome!

I enjoy watching you play as much as the lesson!

FANTASTIC! You are really inspiring me to do it (play guitar) right. Thanks.

Nice job 👍🏻 Not only the riffs but the tone is spot-on!

Adrian - I watch all your vids. You do a great job of teaching! I hack at surf songs, but have been putting this one off. Now I'm excited to give it a go!

Hi, there, Adrian! Cheers for this great lesson! The New Year starts very well! Happy New Year!

Brilliant Adrian. Extremely well played and taught. Respect.

Nailed it...thanks for the first part of the lesson...much appreciated! :)

Hey Adrian. Nicely done. I learned the tune when it first came out a lifetime ago. I've since forgotten it but it might be nice to relearn it. It was one of the songs that made me want to play guitar. Along with the songs of Duane Eddy, the Ventures, Chuck Berry, Santo and Johnny and some others. Thanks

Great lesson! There's a lot of lesson on youtube on this song but this is by far the most complete. I hope one day I can play this

Your sound quality is awesome, it actually sounds like the original...well done.

This is absoutley brillaint, you played it perfectly in my eyes

Thank you for sharing! You do a great job teaching....keep up the good work!

Awesome I can't wait to learn this!

Best of playing I’ve ever seen of this, I’ve never seen even Dick Dale replicate this version as accurately as you have. I’d love to see you play the version he plays on Jools Holland.

Adrian, thank you, for your lessons, your an awesome teacher and player!

A great song to start off the year! (And a great surprise since I forgot that you were back this week.)

The BEST I've seen it played!

This one certainly builds stamina. Great lesson sir.

Brilliant. I think you nailed it.

This is the best I’ve heard it played aside from the original, you should record and release this !

I've been playing for over 50 years and thought I new how to play this until now. Great job young man

Excellent!!!! Well done.

Great need part 2.😊

Amazing lesson. You are an excellent teacher !

More Rock and Roll vibe in 2.20 sec. than most. Right up there with the Rumble thanks great sound.

Yep! A great player and teacher!

Thanks Adrian & happy New Year Regards from São Paulo !

God only knows how long the right hand's going to take! Excellent lesson Adrian 😎🎸✅🏝

Your playing this song was flawless.

Happy New Year Adrian!

I love this song!

Great job.

sweet ...totally nailed those tones n vibe!!

Excelent tutorial, thank you!

Great lesson,thanks so much,way ta show respect!

Damn it. Right after I blocked the trem on my Jaguar! Now I have to take the stack of washers off and find the trem spring again. Excellent choice of tune and excellent video, as always. Happy new year, Adrian.

Awesome playing this massive song.

Excellent!

Just discovered you! I'm subscribing! Exxxcellent work mate!

Ah, a classic !! Lovely!!!

Thanks Adrian. You a real one.

Might have to put my trem arm back in the ole Strat for this one. Good vid man.

Great !!! Happy New Year from Southamerica, Chile ;)

Hi my friend !! GREAT channel , nice taste in music and serious guitar skills !! Thank you for all the effort !! The first known recording of Misirlou is from 1927 Greek artist Tetos Dimitriadis , and the scale is Byzantine . Composer unknown . Ancient stuff , that reverberates through time .

Great job!

Amazing!!!!

a good accurate rendition!!

I'm finally cracking my knuckles and getting down to work on this. Wish me luck!

I’ve played this song on stage with Dick Dale. I was one of The Centurions’ sax players. Great job on the song and the explanation on how to play it. I just need to pass on one thing. It’s not “Tremolo Picking”. It’s “Double Picking”. At least that’s what all the “first wave surf bands” called. Just an FYI. Keep it up. You’re on it!

The one that says B M F'er on it! Awesome thanks Adrian.

Great Backing Track!

Thank you! It’s so RAD!!

great work mate

Great job done imo 👍

WOW - Superb.

Wicked awesome.

I’ve been missing that first F. Thanks, fills the start.

Brilliant thank you!!

Thank you.! I could never figure out that lil chromatic run. (didn’t know it was chromatic. It’s perfect). Right before it goes back into main intro riff

Hello Mr .Adrean your one of good KZfaq guitar virtuoso have beena fan and subscriber and learning off and on watching and getting a riff or 2 down since 2017 or 2018 when I did not know what was being said like 1st frit 2nd string or a cord progression now I can close my eyes and listen to what to learn so thank you I guess I'm learning a new language the language called music so I'm tri lingual mostly English which to me is a buitful language and I can speak Spanish when I need too but my favorite is the language called music..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸 aka..RocknRollFlat5

nicely done Sir

Holy cow that may not be the most technically difficult piece by today's standards but you hit it out of the park regardless.
