Paying tribute to great artists like Dick Dale, The Ventures, and Jan and Dean, here is an exciting, fast-paced piece in the style of classic 1960s surf rock. Easy eighth and quarter note rhythms and a focus on the first and second finger patterns make it approachable for beginners, and it's a fun way to apply lessons in reading G string notes. The optional drum kit part adds flair to the rock style. (1:45)
