  • Let's recreate the sound of an iconic genre that I refuse to let fade into history! James Bond/Surf Rock/Spaghetti Western all have a unique sound that transports you to a time and place you lived vicariously through your favorite films. In this video I'm going to show you how to get the tone, rhythm and feel of this genre. Tune up and plug in, because by the end of this one you'll be recreating the soundtracks of your childhood. I'll be using a few different electric guitars for this demonstration and we'll see how the tone translates. Let me know what you think!

    6120, not 5150! I have been playing a lot of Van Halen lately.🤣

    I'm 75 (I know...old man) and I'm still playing mostly Ventures stuff. While I agree that you can approximate that surf sound with virtually any combination of guitar and a quality amp, your best bet is to use both Fender amps and guitars. Specifically, the Fender Deluxe Reverb, Twin Reverb or Showman series amps. Reissues using the period correct tone stacks are the best bets. As for guitars, I'm convinced, after much experimentation, that guitars ( for lead at least) would be a Telecaster, a Jaguar, a Moserite or most likely a Jazzmaster. I favor the Jazzmaster because, aside from its modern versions, Fender has reissued afordable mid 60's models. These suggestions, are only one man's opinion. However, I know what instruments Bob Bogle and Nokie Edwards played in the early days and I guess that I may be a bit biased. What ever hardware you choose, have a good time playing. That's what it's all about. SURFS UP.

    Too much string buzz on the Tele. Not enough relief.

    I just watched Once Upon a time in the West, with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. Impeccable timing my Friend.

    Reverb, reverb,....reverb.... clean tone... a pair of Rayban wayfarer sun glasses is essential with a black suit, skinny tie... Spycraft stuff.... or if you're more inclined to Surf... a pair of baggies, Horace sandals and bushy blonde hair (according to Mike Love of the Beach Boys).... The western motif is standard wrecking crew studio kit.... there you have it. A Fender Stratocaster, a Super Reverb amp... and lots of attitude... songs to learn: Secret Agent Man, Bond theme, Miserlou, Wipeout, and Clint Eastwood movie from the 60's....

    I think Vic Flick used his early 60's Strat on the original Bond recording...it's a classic that is recognized all over the world...very cool stuff

    I think most "surf" players palm mute the strings behind where they are playing and not playing next right in front of the bridge. Just my experience and observations.

    Something about this exact sound has pulled me in since I was a child, and I'm not even from the eras these styles were popular. I'm 30 and have been developing my guitar and production sound around this style, especially more recently. I got my first electric guitar when I was 12 and was so disappointed it didn't have a whammy bar. I thought all Fender/Squire strat styles had that feature and was too young to know better. I finally traded that guitar in and upgraded to one with a whammy when I was about 23 and it couldn't have fulfilled me more.

    Thank you so much for this video. I had a big smile on my face the whole time I watched it, and then watched some Ventures videos on CZcams. I learned all of the techniques on a Silvertone guitar (which was actually a DanElectro). Sears sold the guitar and case, with a built in amp for 69.95. It was quite a rig. Yes, the amp was built into the flat Fender-like guitar case. The DanElectro was built ut of pressboard. It was quite the rig, and I drove the salesmen in Sears nuts. Thanks for a great trip down memory lane.

    It's a great genre to keep alive! The first music to get me interested in guitar was the Ventures and Dick Dale. Having just inherited a Strat knockoff with a whammy bar, I'm revisiting this classic genre and having a great time. :-)
