Classic Surf Guitar Vol. 2 - Dan Warner Page Four

Jazz giant Johnny Smiths' Walk Don't Run written in 1954 was a hit for the Ventures and Chet Atkins recorded it even before them. They sped it up! It uses the Andalusian cadence comprising four chords descending stepwise vi-V-IV-III progression.
Have you seen Jimmy and SR Vaughn play this one? Both on one guitar? Way Cool. You need to know this one as a matter of course.

And Lastly the surfers' nemesis Wipe Out by the four original members of the Surfaris: Berryhill, Connolly, Fuller & Wilson. A drummer was a big part of this song and its also up tempo. Still the guitar riffs are classic and not that hard to learn.

All in all, these 4 songs are taught to us in an excellent manner and it is the best Secret Agent Man lesson I have seen. Don't forget the sex wax!
