Big Surf Intro Tablatura por The Sentinals
Rhythm guitar chords for the surf bop. An simple start to surf rock.Can use lower octave power chorse for F# and E. Use lots of short spring reverb with a clean tone to get that wet surf vibe. I like to add bit of my Klon overdrive to give it a bit of teeth. This is a fun song to jam to. Accents give it the groove.
