RIP Dick Dale

Re: RIP Dick Dale

R.I.P.

He's the reason I picked up the guitar (I was already a bassist for several years before ever delving in to guitar).

He was a crazy old coot...but man, that tone was untouchable. Best guitar tone ever, hands down.

And it's his input to Leo Fender that gave us the high-wattage stack, and using extreme volume as a tool. He was a trailblazer in using the extremes of guitar intensity for musical effect – incredibly influential on heavy rock music and eventually metal.

R.I.P. again!

Rest well
I thought his guitar sounded cool. Must have been cool to hear things like miserlou when it came out. I like the heavy reverb, the strats, and did he not play with like the strings upside down or whatever?
