Classic Surf Guitar Vol. 2 - Dan Warner Page Three

Cody's Hot Rod Lincoln ditty is an up tempo song driven along by a repeating riff played pretty fast. Go to the chords section within the Special features menu to see the tab and notes written clearly. In order to play it up to speed it you are going to need some steadiness and finger dexterity/strength.

Its not a languid strum along ballad type of song at all. Its going to take some effort to master this exceptionally clever riff and then there are the words which spew out fast like a rap song. Perhaps less challenging is the next song...

P.F. Sloans' Secret Agent Man probably needs no introduction but deserves accolades aplenty. Johnny Rivers made it a hit! Sloan also wrote the Eve of Destruction performed by Barry Mcguire.

He also wrote the hook in California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas. These are great Top 40 songs. Sloan was a studio musician and member of the Wrecking Crew which included guitarist Tommy Tedesco. These were L.A. studio musicians working with film and TV as well as radio pop songs.
