Topic starter  

I was checking out old Surf music on You Tube and ran across this old video of the Atlantics in 1963.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=a_65y2YKulo

I think this video is pretty amazing. The rhythm guitarist is super-fast, playing right along with the drummer.

The lead guitarist is getting some cool distortions around 1:30 into the song and later at the end also. They didn't have distortion pedals yet, so this is pretty amazing.

These guys were way ahead of their time. 8)

If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis

I liked when the lead was really getting into the crunch from 2:20-ish to the end. You can see the emotion in his body and on his face when he strangles that axe.

ah, good ol surf music. my youth. that's about the time I started guitar. surf, 'Telstar' and James Brown were on my record player.
surf= lots of reverb. love it.
did you catch the crash . it was from kicking the reverb springs.
