Thanks Sharon! I think the Squier did well, impressed for such a cheap guitar. I prefer the sound of the Fender overall but the Squier held it's own. I think it sounded better on the "horse gallop" bits

Thanks for your comment! I have to say after a good setup, all my experiences with various Squier guitars over the years have been very positive. The Classic Vibe and Paranormal models in particular are excellent. I'm very tempted to get one of the new Hello Kitty models now you mention it!

Thanks Ludwig! Think the Squier did a good job, will be doing a few more comparisons soon

Thanks Ludwig! Much appreciated. Had a lot of fun with this one as I've always been a big Nirvana fan

Thanks Geoff! I thought the same, the Squier does a good job for very little money. It feels well built, no sharp fret ends and a nice neck and fretboard.

The settings are at the start of the video in the screenshots of my amp sim on Garageband. On my Katana, I used the clean channel and set up a tape delay and a digital delay with some spring reverb. I tried to screenshot it as well but I didn't have my amp plugged in at the time so the software wouldn't open!

Yeah I thought the Bullet Strat did well! The red Player I'm using has USA 57/62 pickups as I swapped them out. Definitely a big difference in sound but I was interested to see how the Bullet Strat would compare

Hi, thank you! I hadn't thought about adding chord changes but I think there's a way to do it if I re-upload the video and edit in the chords. Would take me a few days though but I can look into it

@charlielovattguitar probably get a lot more views as well

@@tbasshandyman7610 That'd be nice! Thanks for the suggestion, will look into revamping these.

Thanks dude, really glad you liked it! 🤘🎸

Thanks dude for your positive comment! Really glad you enjoyed it 🤘🎸

Awesome, thanks dude! Really appreciate your positive comment, thank you very much and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks dude! Really appreciate the positive feedback, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks dude, really appreciate the positive comment! Glad you enjoyed it, will be posting more soon!

Thank you so much Sharon, really means a lot to get that kind of positive feedback! Really glad you enjoyed it. Agree, it's interesting hearing how the song changes when played in a different style! 🤘🎸

Thanks Les! It's a bit of an anthem for people my age!

Thanks! Really enjoyed playing this one, had a lot of fun doing it, glad you enjoyed it! 🤘🎸

Hi - I had a hard time finding them too. I think I found a version of Surf Rider on Songsterr that had the chords on. There's a version with only the lead parts and then another version with the chords and bass, so I used that 👍

@@charlielovattguitar Thank you !

No worries!

Cheers dude!

Thank dude! Yeah the Gretsch is great for that vintage twangy sound! Been meaning to re-do this one now I'm using a better camera

They're from my home town! So I had to do this one, loved playing the 12 string part

Thanks Ludwig! I thought it would suit surf guitar well. Just working out what to do for my next one now!

@@charlielovattguitar Yes it did!

Thank you! 🎸🤘

Thanks Ludwig! Will be uploading another one soon as I've just finished recording

Thank you! Will be uploading more soon

Thank you!

Thank you! Really glad you liked it, it was a lot of fun to do as I've always loved this song!

Thanks Ludwig! I love the original, lyrically it's one of my favourite songs and I've been wanting to do a surf version for a while. Have a great week too!

I know what you mean! Might do some CCR stuff soon, got a few more lined up first

Thanks dude! Glad you liked it 🤘🎸

Thank you! Glad you liked it 🎸🤘

Cheers Les, love a bit of CCR, that's a great song. Always makes me think of Vietnam War films

Cheers Les, one of my favourites too. Want it played at the wedding!

Thanks!

Thank you! Loved playing this song

Thank you! Yes of course I'd be happy to. I'll edit out the lead part and upload it to my pay hip account later. I'll reply to your comment with the link once it's uploaded.

@@charlielovattguitar Tysm! If it’s not too much to ask to raise the drums and bass a bit but yes such a great cover.

@@MiguelMakesMusic yeah that's fine. Without the lead part it will give me a bit more room to raise the bass and drums. Might be able to upload it tonight

Hi Miguel, I've uploaded it to my new Payhip page now. I've increased the volume of the drums and bass as much as I can. I can't take them up anymore or the audio starts clipping. Hope it helps! payhip.com/b/P9MXw

@@charlielovattguitar you nailed it! tysm I really appreciate it just downloaded it.

Thanks dude! Will be uploading more soon!

Thanks Ludwig! Felt like trying something a bit different and I thought it'd suit surf guitar. Glad you enjoyed it - have a fantastic weekend too!

Thanks Sharon! Definitely have a look at the original version. It was a big hit here in the UK about 20 years ago I think.Not normally my type of music but I like this song and thought it would fit a surf style.

Thank you! 👍

Thanks dude!

Thank you!

Thanks! Agree, great song

Thanks Sharon! I love this song and I wanted to do a version of it for a while. Definitely do your version of it. You're welcome to use my backing track if you like 👍

Thanks Ludwig - love this song. Carl Wilson's voice is fantastic, hope I did it justice!

Thank you!

Vielen danke Ludwig! Bit different to my usual songs but I fancied doing something a bit different. Back to recording 60s stuff tomorrow though!

Thanks dude!

Thanks! Agree, great song! Had a few tuning problems with the red Strat whilst recording this one
