paully Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Wow!! 40+ years later and they STILL haven't gotten the 'beach clothing' thing right. Good finds, guy. Best, Paul WUDAYAKNOW.. For the first time in my life, I'm wrong again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampdog Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Duh...

Greg B. Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Man, he's got awesome tone!! I love Dick Dale! The Deltones sure looked happy to be there. That sure looks like Dave Grohl on drums in the 2nd vid. He rocks too. Avoid playing the amplifier at a volume setting high enough to produce a distorted sound through the speaker-Fender Guitar Course-1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caprae Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Duh... I never realized Dick Dale plays with the bass strings on the bottom... >>>> Bonehead <<<< You are not alone! I believe Doyle Bramhall II does, too. He plays a left handed guitar but keeps it strung as if it was a righty. Heard a PBS interview on Dick Dale. Said he played with such heavy strings that he used to shred picks on them. Raise your children and spoil your grandchildren. Spoil your children and raise your grandchildren.

fantasticsound Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Jimi played that way, too. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesape Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Jimi played that way, too. Don't think so - pretty sure he strung 'em lefty. Albert King and Coco Montoya do play as you describe. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampdog Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Jimi played that way, too. I'm with the ape man on this one... Jimi strung his guitars lefty. Bass strings on the top... (But I could be wrong but I'll never admit it ) If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
