Guitarist and surfer, Dick Dale has passed away. Dick Dale was a true originator. The beach Boys

Quote:
His fingering style was so frenetic that he shredded guitar picks during songs, a technique that forced him to stash spares on his guitar's body. "Better shred than dead," he liked to joke, an expression that eventually became the title of a 1997 anthology released by Rhino Records.

Dale said he developed his musical style when he sought to merge the sounds of the crashing ocean waves he heard while surfing with melodies inspired by the rockabilly music he loved. He pounded rather than plucked the strings of his guitar in a style he said he borrowed from an early musical hero, the great jazz drummer Gene Krupa.

"Dale pioneered a musical genre that Beach Boy Brian Wilson and others would later use as the basis for their music.,

Quote: " Rolling Stone magazine said in its "Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll" adding "Let's Go Trippin'" was released in 1961, two months ahead of the Beach Boys' first hit, "Surfin.'"

One of Dick Dale's signature songs. This is pipeline with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dick Dale.

Rest in Peace Dick. Thanks for the great music and showing us how it's done.
