Dick Dale - Misirlou (Live) 1995

True story: I saw Dick Dale live a few years ago. Upon taking the stage, he walked over to his amp, held his guitar the speaker and out came some epic feedback. Then he strutted to the mic and confidently proclaimed to the crowd, "I invented that shit."

[@anonymoushuman7794]

he kept blowing up amps so Leo Fender made him a really big amp. So believe it or not, he's not too far off.

[@michaelpiercey2160]

@@anonymoushuman7794 The Showman amps were named after Dick. Those amps are POWER HOUSES! Later came out with the Dual Showman and The Dual Showman Reverbs. Great amps, the Dual Showman Reverbs are very close to a Twin Reverb circuit.

I'd personally include this video in the discussion on the inventors of metal. It's always Sabbath and Zeppelin, but THIS is metal. And punk. And rock. And bluegrass. And a few other things.

[@Niklas.the.13th.]

That's a very heavy things to proclaim, cause I'm pretty sure Hendrix pioneered it but never claimed to have invented it.

[@Jacksmusicshack]

It's thanks to Dick that Fender amps were put on the map.. if they didn't withstand Dicks punishment they weren't worth diddly squat.

Well back in those days, live music was generally played in more formal settings with more formal attire. It wasn’t until the mid-late 60’s that dressing however you wanted became commonplace in the music industry. If you were gonna be on tv like the Dick Clark show, you’d wear a suit.

I can't get over that picking, some of my favorite guitarist are Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen, Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhodes, Marty Friedman, but Dick Dale's extremely fast picking style, combined with his upside down left handed guitar, the way he pushed amplifiers past their limits, and how he handled reverb, it's truly mind blowing. Plus the fact that even now in his 70's, he can put on quite the energetic show. A very sadly under rated guitarist.

[@101Volts]

Back in the 1950s Dick was playing amps so loud that they'd catch on fire. This was before Fender redesigned their amplifiers though.

[@johnt6505]

Yea. Barely under control. Like a board on a big wave

[@RazorEdge2006]

The fast-picking technique originates from Arabic music. Dick Dale (who was half-Arab) said he learnt the fast-picking technique from his Lebanese-Arab uncle, who played like that on the Arabic Oud (ancestor of the guitar). Dale adapted the technique onto the electric guitar, creating surf-rock music. Dale was probably the first rockstar to use Eastern musical techniques, several years before The Beatles started experimenting with Indian music.

Is there and what would be the difference between tremolo picking and alternating picking?

True

It is, but surprisingly untight. It would take a lot less energy if he used a smaller movement. Not a criticism just an observation.

I was in high school around this time and saw Dick Dale play the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio. At one point, he walked through the crowd playing a solo for what felt like 15 minutes. We were towards the front and lost track of him in the crowd. Several years later, my college roommate told me he had a friend at that show who told him that Dick Dale actually walked into the middle of High Street in front of the venue, which was the main road through the city, and played in the center of the street while traffic drove past on either side of him.

I'm a fan of DD. This song and King Of The Surf Guitar are my two faves of his. Listen to the quick bends in KOTSG and you'll know why I also love and admire that tune. Like many, I found my way to DD thanks to Quentin T. I love Misirlou and attempt to play it, but tend to get tangled up on that tremolo picking on the looser high end strings. Dick is known for playing with very thick strings (much like SRV) so I'm sure that helped him develop that style. In this vid, it is just about as much fun to watch the intensity of the drummer as it is to watch the man. Got to hear him play live in a club a few years back. The next morning my ears were ringing like a .44 mag had been shot off near my head. LOL Dude plays LOUD!
