- Dick Dale... invented surf music in the 1950's. Not the '60's as is commonly believed. He was given the title "King of the Surf Guitar" by his fellow surfers with whom he surfed with from sun-up to sun-down. He met Leo Fender the guitar and amplifier Guru and Leo asked Dale to play his newly creation, the Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar. The minute Dale picked up the guitar, Leo Fender broke into uncontrolled laughter and disbelief, he was watching Dale play a right handed guitar upside down and backwards, Dale was playing a right handed guitar left handed and changing the chords in his head then transposing the chords to his hands to create a sound never heard before.
Saw him play at Club Soda in Kalamazoo in 1995. He was amazing. The kid who was playing drums for the show? A really young Jack White.
Right on!
He's great in those Panda movies.
The bassist? Abraham Lincoln.
The engineer? Einstein.
The trombonist? William Riker
RIP Dick Dale. The Surf will always be up for you Bro
Not the surf it's the desert.
@@NormAppleton he made one of the best surfing songs ever so yeah the surf will always be up for him.
They HAVE to put Dick Dale in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame! He's become one of those individuals whose talent is now unquestionable.
Simple Fact, nobody sounded like him, ever.
Ah frick All halls of fame. Political cess pools. I mean hhof changed my life n all as a video gamer, but pick your favorites yourself, not some jagoffs with comittee lol
That's amazing, he played a right handed guitar left-handed impromptu.
He was a genius who created a new sound.
He left a positive mark on America's culture.
He will be missed but never forgotten. RIP-Dick Dale🙏
For the first minute of this, I thought I was watching the new installment of Star Wars.
They should add this music to the intro of Star Wars
+yorkie elliot Which, also, apeared in the 50's not the 70's as we, commoners, know...
same
Yeah, that was some graphic silliness. I was waiting for the Silver Surfer in space... He plays using strings that are like cables. Very thick. That's how he got that sound. Also, he's left handed. The last time I saw him he almost had a punk band trio. Loud, simple, memorable and way-out fun! Looks bad and tough but a nice guy. Don't tell anyone.
not at all
This is the masterpiece of a guitar sound, thank you Dick Dale
When he moved out to the west coast, he lived across the street from my Mother in Costa Mesa. Went to Newport Harbor High. Early 50”s.
RIP, Dick Dale. You were truly the King of Surf Guitar music, the teacher with many students. Your music lives on!
RIP Dick Dale. Never saw you play but you will always be King of the Surf Guitar.
Eddie Van Halen can now rightly take his place beside Dick Dale, Glen Campbell and Roy Clarke since they are, and always have been, the members of the same club. Unique Guitar Masters. Cheers
Thank you DICK DALE for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Your influential guitar playing style and music was part soundtrack to our young baby boom lives. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.
Saw him in mid to late 90's for free on the Santa Monica pier free. Its was awesome.
Abraham Salazar i
how much did it cost?
it was free for free
Dick Dale is born on May the 4th.... May the 4th be with you! The Star Wars crawl seems fitting.
Pro tip: Music and Writing, instead of separate. Pretty sure we all came here for Dick Dale.
RIP Dale, the song from Pulp Fiction (Misirlou) is one of his pieces of work I'll always remember.
RIP... Brother Dick! Surf will always be up! :)
musicians come and go but there will always be a sacred spot in my heart fo Dick Dale
Dick Dale was amazing. Was sad to hear of his passing. He was the king of the surf guitar.
But, the reverb or delay sound was pioneered by another great guitarist way back
around 1950 by Johnny Guitar Watson in his epic recording "Space Guitar".
He used a classic trick of recording thanks to the spacing of record, play back, and monitor heads on
old reel to reel recording tape decks. Dick used Leo Fender's reverb unit to get that
classic wet, delayed reverb effect. I have a tube Fender reverb unit and nothing else has
that classic surf guitar sound.
I really enjoy listening to both Dick Dale and Johnny Guitar Watson. Two totally different
types of music, but both musicians are just so great, May they both rest in peace...
Or, maybe start an amazing guitar band in heaven!
Yes,Johnny Guitar Watson,a true gangster guitarist ! 😎 If we add Link Ray .🤔...power trio from Hell !😂
I had a 64' VW camper, complete with a Muntz 4 track stereo with two 12 Harmon speakers with 30' cables. Used to blast DD while surfing the SoCal coastline in the sixties. Nothing like dropping into a five footer while Dick is ripping.....ahhhhhhhh!
merlinolson1
My God, I hadn't thought about "Madman Muntz" in 50 years! !
I had that 4 track, too...WONderful !! Thanks for that memory !
A different time... a different world. Dick Dale the original.. The music will last forever.
The music starts at 1:15
Thanks. Waste of 1:15 of my time when I just wanted to check out the video.
You are my savior, thank you so much haha
Thanks :o)
Thanks
Thanks, spared me the crap
Thanks to info about Dick Dale and a great tribute to him. He is a very talented guitarplayer !!
I only recently heard of this man. Amazing stuff he can do with a guitar.
Wow, Dick Dale passed away March 16 2019,just a few days ago. He was 81. Thanks for the music Richard Anthony Monsour
Dick Dale was a mentor to Jimi Hendrix. You don't get more influential than that!!!
Yes, My husband was the Mentor to many great musicians over the decades...Thank You!!!
one of my favorite guitar players for over fort years.
I saw him live once and he blew my F***ing A** away!!!! sorry for the language.
Saw Dick last night at Space in IL. What a Talent! Brilliant and astonishing. So gifted and a heart Of Gold. What a priveledge to see this legend. Just love Him!!!
dick dlae was a great legend of music history...but sadly he's so underrated
SO true. Dick can play ANY instrument you give him! His son Jimmy is very talented too!
Dick Dale certainly an awesome surf guitar playing dude. OMG. Surprised the strat could stand up to such unusual punishment!!!! . mos60
With the ridiculously heavy gauge strings!
Great guy, we can over look the one toke over the line thing :) Well it was cool too actually!
Saw him at Pioneer park in 1962, 1963 in San Bernardino California. My first live band :)
I thought Dick Dale was not from the fifties but from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
fallfav the force is strong in this one
Dick was where the Ventures got their ideas
Haha brilliant comment, I bursted in laugh here...
he was... is... always great.
RIP Mr. Dale - play in heaven with the angels - you will be greatly missed.
Great rendition
Dick Dale was a true genius.
The 50's like- rythm and the awsome fast playing surf sound is just awsome :D
Absolutely startling and soooo different as a guitarist, just fantastic!!!
I saw him play at a small club in Asheville, NC in 2002 or 2003. One of the best live shows I've seen. Really miss this guy.
I ran sound for him when he played the Melody Inn in Indianapolis. He was a nice guy and his wife was super nice as well. Dick was an Air Force veteran and part of the fire crew.
think i heard him n a bar in killarney back in 06..... booze free wednesday..... stood outside and could swear it was him. man was it good.
Got to see him right before he passed I'm so grateful it was the best show I've ever seen
RIP Dale!!!! Thanks for 'the sound' that lifts our spirits each time we hear it.
This is the sort of whammer grade electronic surfer guitar that sets me off... my Altec A7 clones are soaring with a gorgeous home made triode push pull amp of a mighty twelve RMS watts per heh and it sounds Fantastic... Dick Dale is the man. I am in envy to all the guys who got to see him perform...
You can still see him play. www.granadatheater.com/event/1016029-guitar-legend-dick-dale-dallas/
thanks Jerry. I didn't expect that. Unfortunately I'm in Iowa and we don't get nearly enough of that kind of cool up here lol the Other kind, yeah.
Amazing, one of the best guitar renditions. Eerie.
great stuff surf rules .
Gorgeous!!!
Dick Dale is one of the most accomplished guitarists, and most accomplished Strat players, in the history of electric guitar.
The Strat was invented in 1954, so Dick Dale was way ahead of the pack.
And, dig his take on a country/western standard.
And, he's another brilliant leftie!
He's fabulous.
Since he passed there's not many Men like Dale left in this world.... I know he's up there Rockin in Heaven... Showin Our Father how it's done... Rock on Mr.Dale .... You Earned it...
Glad I saw him live years ago RIP MAN YOU ROCKIN WITH THE LORD NOW
When I watched him play he broke several of his larger guitar strings and had to restring them while we waited. Needless to say he was quick at that task.
Some parts reminded me of when Johnny comes marching from home.
Or Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya
I have always followed the gospel according to that master musician Mr Scott Gorham Of Thin Lizzy. He says that Dick Dale was the first guitar hero that he took a liking to. Scott always has great taste
absolutely stunningly brilliant song
Thanks ... awesome ~
A Long, Long Time Ago
In a Galaxy Far Far Away
...There was a Guitar Legend by the name of Dick Dale
A legand in Surf music for us on the West coast in the early '60's-made me start learning the guitar by 1963..thank you for uploading this for the new generations to appreciate..
ty still learning at 56 lol
STILL A GREAT PERFORMER, I LOVE HIM, THE KING OF SURF GUITAR MUSIC!!!!
Dick must be the first punk guitarist. twenty years in advance. what a musician.
His double plucking of a chord is what also gave him such an incredible sound
I never saw anyone like him. I love you Dick Dale. I.hope you know how much you were admired. Genuis
Elizabeth Cotton, known for composing the famous folk song, "Freight Train" covered by Peter, Paul & Mary and more was playing this way in the early 1900s at the age of 11. I've been playing this way since the '50s before I ever heard of Ms. Cotton or Dick Dale.
Overwhelming guitar sound, bigger than life.
I got to see Dick Dale in Peabody's Downunder in Cleveland. One of the absolute greatest concerts I've ever witnessed. It's the 2nd best one. I had chills going up & down my arms and spine. The guitar playing, the playing . . . Oh, he signs autographs after his shows. He signed my Pulp Fiction CD ( I heard him for the 1st time on Pulp Fiction)). He told me to buy better shred than dead which I did. I had a greatest hits CD at the time.
fantastic version
RIP Dick Dale. In Surf Heaven by day, Rock and roll Heaven by night.
Eddie Van Halen couldn't play one of Jimi Hendrix's guitars without re-stringing it. But he could play one of Dick Dale's guitars. Just one of those little tidbits of rock and roll.
tygrkhat40! Jimi used medium gauge strings, a .10 for high E, a jazz set-up.
my older cousin from Everett mass saw him many times in the 50s down on revere beach got his autograph on his 45
2 of the Greatest, Link Wray and Dick Dale
Agree plus James Burton.
I got to see him last year in Dallas , his outlaw stories from back in the day are funny as hell.
When I saw him back around '95 he could still kick ass! I've been a Dickhead ever since...
best intro ever!!
thanks for the star wars intro
RIP good buddy, you'll be missed and were always so much fun!
Whoa there. I think the shadows deserve just as much credit as mr. dale
This just gave me goosebumps.It is such an injustice that Dick Dale is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.He was a pioneer and an innovator.RIP Great One.DDM
He told me this song is on Space Mountain at Disneyland in 1996 at the Chevy car show LA County fair. Met him n his young son. Grateful for meeting the King of surf guitar. There's Dick Dale than everyone else...
Fair winds and following seas brother
Underrated yet the surf guitarists hailed as their mentor & guru...RIP beautiful soul...Hendrix once said he got his sound from him...Awesome, Magnifique!!!
Thanks for the anecdote, I had no idea Dale was a lefty!
Played this at round 6am - 5am at WACF country music station in Paris, IL as a wake up tune. Mgmt was not amused. Lol
I love what you've done...I can't describe how I feel; it's just great! Perhaps "sensual" is the best way to express it!
Harmony Park, I was there.
Met him n his son in 96. Car Chevy show Pomona Valley Fair. He performed this tune. Incredible ❤️
I used to right my motorbike with this blasting in my earphones when I lived in the south of France.
What a feeling when you're speeding on the road by the sea on a warm summer day with this shite
Very impressive, it did not know him.
I saw Dick Dale I think in 93 at the Santa Monica Pier for the first time and he put on a killer show and I've been converted since then. Have all his records and truly appreciate his style of guitar player.
I knew that Jimi Hendrix played a guitar upside down, but he had the strings in the right position. Dick Dale actually played it upside down with the bass string on the bottom of the fret, That is really incredible.
I saw him a while ago, he signed some records I had of his, and then he flirted with my wife. :) old coot puttin the moves on my wife was funny.
I'm still saddened by your wife's boyfriend passing
@@JorgeGeorgeD CZcams comment of the year right here
shhhhhhhh dont tell Lana... she cruises here...P.S. she was his wife till the end.
POR FAVOR DICK VOCE PODERIA COMER A MINHA ESPOSA
eat your heart out, hendrix! even better, fender will rip it out. what a talent. none better.
Our King is still alive , long live the King of Surfer rock ,,, Dick Dale
RIP the king of Surf🙌
the drummer also lends his expertise to this great recording
This is an awesome version!
This version has to be from the 70s after Hendrix came on the scene. DD did a version of this song in 63 but very different. This song even has some punk rock in it.
Fantastic.
DD may be the "King of the Surf Guitar" but he is also the "Father of Heavy Metal."
You tube introduced this to me long before I got my channel. I had no idea he is the original artist.
This makes my heart beat very fast and I like it :]
This is so awesomely powerfull it's ripping my heart out!
that's a BEAUTIFUL POST !!! , THANK YOU !!!! ...Its a fucking epiphany watching this man do what he does...!!!
Dick Dale can really shred on a guitar!
Thanks for all the Star Wars crawl style information. I just wanted to hear the song though.
Andy Marabella what? It's free&yer still gonna bitch about it
@@thealaskan1635 It's not even correct, though. That's the annoying part.
fucking like yeah
Thank You Brother for bringing a new kind of music to America It will live on forever rest in peace lh&r
