Bruce ! The tab is left handed mate ! Think about a right hander facing the screen. Fat E at the top for the left thumb. I remember the years before tab. Song sheets only had piano scores. At least this is better than the 1980's In this day and age we should have software able to transcribe live to a screen. Oh well. Keep on riffing.
You can always flip your screen upside down. Just joking. Anyway, I often do a lot of mental transposing in music while playing. So I can easily understand the challenge you face. I can easily include music notation along with tabs. The problem is the lack of screen real estate. Or I can just make everything smaller. I've seen chord diagrams for lefties but never heard or seen of tablature for lefties. I've been debating on whether to include music notation but that only works for people that know how to read music. Tabs in this case are much easier to read... there's never any debate on where to play the note. Another option is to make 4k videos but that opens up a lot of new challenges and problems.
This is a Bel Airs song. The Bel Airs were from the "South Bay" of Los Angeles. Paul Johnson (who has been called "the Eric Clapton of surf guitar") was the lead guitar player. Paul Johnson, known as "P.J." has a reputation as a great guy all-around from what I have heard. As well, it is arguable that while some would say there are other "first" surf instrumental songs, "Mr. Moto" was awfully close to the beginning of the surf instrumental era and the South Bay sound was very different from the Dick Dale ("King of the Surf Guitar") sound. John Blair is the historian of this era if you are interested in further learning. I am sorry about being 5 years late answering your question but I only just saw it now.

Any chance of getting a copy of the tab? Thanks
I haven't posted these tabs anywhere. I sell them.
