He wasn't a great guitarist, he could hardly play, but because of the limitation of not being able to play, he was able toinventsome very original things
Guitarists of this generation dont realize how much of a pioneer Dick is, not just in surf guitar but in the guitar and music world in general from behind the scenes. RIP, a true legend
+Honest Signalz He uses a colostomy bag, too. He refuses to go on dialysis... the Grim Reaper still can't take him from us. He's very fucking strong, and he's 78. That's very inspiring.
He also tours because its his life....stopping would mean he doesn't live....and he's a great fighter and magnificent. I used to see him 3 times a week playing at Harmony Park in Anaheim and then worked with him on "Back to the Beach".......when he dies I am going to be heartbroken.
Hanging in Newport Beach in the 60s Dick Dale was a god. He was very good and he was one of us. And this was before Brian Wilson or Jan and Dean. There will never be such a time again. Thanks Dick…I speak for all of us
Whether true or not he pioneered an entire genre, kind of like a veteran that fought in a war - You've got to give them the respect they've earned and just smile and nod. The guy is legendary. Without him great bands today like Guantanamo Baywatch, La Luz and the Allah-Las probably wouldn't exist.
DeadPistolsBrainGerms Dick Dale doesn’t need to “appear grandiose” ....HE IS GRANDIOSE! And if anything, he UNDERSELLS himself! He’s a giant in the formation of rock n roll!
I mixed a show for Dick once. He said "Hey Mr. Sound Man, give me some more EDGE!" Well I'm not aware of any mixing consoles that have an edge knob, so I just turned up the speakers over his head.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in The Bayou, in Georgetown, D.C., Tiny venue, raised stage, standing 30 feet away. Dick played for 3 hours straight, blew me away! Amazing.
Dick, you are the man....met him back in Spring of '93 at Tower Records on Guadalupe in Austin after his show...wonderful,accesible man...he talked to us for around 20 minutes telling us so many great stories...a fearless visionary ! Thank you Dick and god bless.
My favorite memory of all time...Dick Dale was playing at the Ram's Head in Annapolis, MD. He played almost 3 hours straight. Then, sat on the stage as 150 took 5 minutes each to talk with him. He signed a guitar I built from three guitars. He played Wipe out with me. I will miss him greatly.
Why is it that metal has a bazillion sub-genres? No other popular musical form has so many. That said, Surf could easily be considered the original djent. Djent, djent, djent!!!! Or is it Djang, djang, djang?
Now that I think about it, it's more like "Dooga, dooga, dooga, dooga, dooga, dooga dooga dooga, nyer, nya nyer, nya nyera nya, nyer, nya. Not so much djent, djent, djent, djent. But it does surf!!!
It makes you wonder how much music was able to be made because of his collaboration between Dick and Leo Fender? A pioneer of early Rock and Roll and one of the great inventors of the 20th century. Without them, Rock and Roll would have been much different.
RIP good sir! You were the Chuck Norris of Surf Guitars 🎸 I recall playing your music in numerous party’s especially during a Toga party in the 80s. What a blast!!
I have never heard of this guy but WHAT have I missed, wow, he is such an interesting person to listen to talking let alone playing guitar. I will now look up more video's and references to Dick, fancy him knowing Leo Fender, it does NOT get much better than this for guitar buffs, RIP Dick, guitar legend. Thanks so much for this, astounding!
This is a fantastic interview with the Fender reverb guru, himself. On one listening of his live album in '62, I knew this man was a master, the first master of the Fender reverb (sorry, Jimmy). He was much neglected but over time he cannot be denied. He better be in the Hall of Fame by now.
I opened for Dick once as a solo acoustic act, playing ahead of his full-band rock show. This was around 2003 or 2004, and he was already up in years, but he put on a great show and he was very personable and approachable. Talked a lot, as I recall... Bonus feature that night: Dick‘s drummer was Rick Nielsen‘s son, and Rick showed up that night to see him play, but also caught my show and complimented me afterwards. Good times.
I met Dick and his son Jimmy at 2010 NAMM show, where we shared the Fender booth with them. Dale was promoting his signature acoustic guitar and we were promoting the new Fender Ukes. Great times. All rockers who use stratocasters and Fender Amps should thank Dale for "stress testing" for Leo Fender.
buck ewer You're all over the comment section saying the same shit about how it's made up just to compensate for the fact you will never do something great like that in your life because you sit on your ass all day and do nothing. grow up.
I have seen him play twice and he will be paying in Burbank CA in October at Joes Bar and Grill. Should be a good show. Just have to remember to bring my ear plugs if I want to hear the next day. I like it when he just plays his gold strat.
I saw him a few years ago at a small club. Indeed, it was the closest I ever came to having my ears bleed. The next morning I woke up with my ears ringing like I'd just discharged a .44 mag - not kidding. But it was great to see him, just could have back off the volume a hair ;^)
Got to see this man and his son (on drums) around three years ago at Smith's Old Bar in Atl. What an electrifying experience! You could tell by the way he put everything into the performance that he really loves what he does. Please go see this man while you still have the chance, you won't regret it 👍
amazing stuff. What a talent he was. Life is crazy, his passion found him and he fell into something that he was meant to be. One of the greatest guitarist in Rock history who influenced so many.
@@jesseturner9865 yes, the style was obviously invented in the 50s but the song "Nitro" is from 1993. The riff is clearly from Rattlehead, even the modulation is the same
I never met him personally but got to see him play live one night in Huntington Beach in the late 80's. Always been one of my favorite guitarists of all time. Recently read in a book about Leo Fender that Leo lost part of his hearing due to testing amps with Mr. Dale when he accidentally hit the guitar with the amp at full volume. Apparently Leo had his ear right up next to the speaker when it happened True legends of our time.
What an intelligent, likeable, dynamic innovator of all that is rock and roll. This man is truly a legend. RIP and THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE LEFT BEHIND FOR US TO ENJOY, TOO INCLUDE YOUR SPIRIT!
I saw him in Fort Collins Colorado and he did the same thing. He sat on the edge of the stage and signed autographs and didnt leave till everybody was satisfied with the attention they received. I'm so glad i got the opportunity to see him play and have a few words with him after the show. I actually saw him twice in Ft Collins the second time with Revenant Horton Heat. Good guy
Not even a fan of him, but i kept rewatching this video, this guy is just an absolute legend, pioneered not only guitar playing but guitar technology as well, this guy deserve more attention and respect.
Wow, that's quite a lesson in Americana, right there. The inventor of surf music, who had a direct line to the guy who invented the Strat. Can't beat that.
@@jonny-b4954he was personal friends with Leo Fender and he really did play a major role in the development of a ton of Fender instruments. It’s well documented.
So many influences, so much innate talent and such a great sense of dedication filtered down into a musical oddity that the world will always revere him. I know I will. I mean, ... to become that iconic?! Holy crap.
Hearing him say what he said about mahogany wood and hearing he had to convince Leo fender to believe 3/4 the size with make a even more solid sound- yeah, far more than just a great guitar, superbly brilliant+ incredible
what it’s a left handed acoustic with an upside down head stock (I guess you could say righty but they make them stock like that on some models now days) and his guitar is strung upside down
I met Dick Dale during his tours after Pulp Fiction came out. He was so personable. He was full of life advice. I remember he told me musicians hang out after a show, go drink and party. But professionals go home and practice their craft. I got to talk to him every time he came to town. He gave me his number and invited me out to his California ranch to play guitar. I never did it, but still have a bunch of gnawed up picks of his and a few autographs and his number. He was an amazing person. The real deal.
Opened for him back in the 90s right after Tribal Thunder came out. Loved that album, loved that sound. He wasn't real keen on talking to any of us, told us not to play any surf music when we opened. He came out and played hard and fast for an hour and left. I must say it was a disappointing experience. I would have loved it if he would have autographed mu copy of a tribal Thunder as he was an inspiration. I'd like to think he was just unhappy about something to do with the gig. He was an icon, and the story of american music cannot be told without including him.

Dick Dale is a pioneer on more levels than I realized, and I’m definitely a fan. Dick Dale revolutionized the gear WAY before legends like EVH.
"Miserlou" is one of my favorite warm ups on the guitar, not too hard, not too easy, and it helps with picking patterns
