Spanish Caravan - The Doors surf
« on: July 08, 2013, 07:12:14 pm »
I was on the Surf Guitar 101 forum and someone asked if anyone had ever made a Doors tune into a surf tune.
I had a look at all my doors tunes and picked Spanish Caravan to make my own version  :icon_biggrin:

This is the Re-Vibe into my tube pre-amp and then into guitar rig with my JS2400 guitar

Enjoy, wax up your board
I had to get a cowbell in there and a reverb tank crash in at the end :help:

I have to rattle a rack unit to make mine crash
Most guys kick the reverb unit sitting on the floor

Beautiful!
A bus stops at a bus station. A train stops at a train station. On my desk, I have a work station.

Sounds great to me including cowbell/tank crash and I'm not a surf music fan.     :laugh:

Like I told tubeswell, I'd pay a cover charge to hear your surf band in a club.

Can't see why they wouldn't like it? Nothin wrong with that track at all, it's definitely a keeper.

Thanks,

Nobody said they didn't like it, just zero replies

They are too busy arguing over whether you can really play surf music with humbuckers.

A post like that gets a zillion replies

Yes but......        The real question is........       Can you play it with one of these, through a re-vibe into a Marshall Major????? Add hot sauce to taste!      


                                 :m2

Surfs up baby, cajun style.

Haven't wandered over here is awhile.

My Gawd Mon, a cow bell??????
No, I won't say it!
Wasn't expecting it but a pleasant surprise.

Loved it.
Really cool tempo, toe tapping.
The tank crash was a perfect addition.
