long live surf guitar, surf guitar is dead

The King of Surf Guitar, Mr Dick Dale has surfed on to the Big Wave in the Sky...his music will always hold a special place for me for personal reasons.

I'll never forget seeing him live at the WOW Hall many moons ago. Seeing him play that guitar left handed UPSIDE DOWN with the low E string on the bottom was insane. Do you know how hard it is to play barre chords like that??

And it was the loudest show I've ever heard. Louder than any metal show I ever saw. Slayer could never compete with Dick Dale for pure unadulterated VOLUME.

Long Live The King of Surf Guitar. The King Of Surf Guitar Is Dead.

RIP Dick Dale.
