Leo in the 60's was a friend of my Fathers and he rented a house to my dad in Fullerton-1961/62. i quit school and Leo gave me a job if i would graduate nite school, i did in 1965.
Dick and Leo were close and created and pioneered the strat/amps/speakers together. Like father and son. They spent many years together and on the floor sometimes discussing and creating it all.
Have him play some of these with a Behringer EP2500, & post a video with his thoughts on the sound 4 his guitar =):

how much of dick dale's fingerprints are in the stratocaster? i know he talked specifically about developing the amps, but what changes were made to the strat based on his suggestions?
It’s fascinating how a kid from Ma, self taught musician, gets himself to the West Coast, no money, wandered into Leo Fenders office and altered the next 60 years of American music and pop culture.
Always great to read quotes from creative innovative people. The world is a much better place thanks to people like Leo, Dick Dale, Chet Atkins and millions of other greats!
This is great. I've read interviews with pro players since '72 with the first Guitar Player magazine i ever saw (Leslie West & Felix Pappalardi) and have never seen anyone speak third person except for Dick Dale, then like '99. "Dick Dale needed more power". It suited him perfectly. RIP.
"I play my frustrations, and pain and sound from what I've seen...". How many other musicians can honestly say that? A true original!!!
Rembetiko players
‘we don't try to impress musicians, people don't know what an augmented 9th is and neither do I and I don't give a shit, who cares, I play my frustrations and pain from what I’ve seen in life.’ Dick Dale RIP
I'm trying to explain to my songwriting partner that he needs to stop being so goddamn esoteric and cerebral. Hearing a legend like Dick Dale echo that tells me I'm right lol.
@Music Power find a new songwriting partner.
Great quote from a true original Dick Dale. Thank god for non guitar 🎸 snobs like Dick Dale and Kurt Cobain
1:59 "1 & 1 is 2, it's not 3 like a politician, like *they* do." One of my new favorite quotes. R.I.P. Dick, still miss you!
Dick Dale played early 60s extreme grindcore,
I'm 64 years old and just learned of this guy a couple years ago. I thought Dick Dale was a guy on The Lawrence Welk Show.
The Rendezvous Ballroom shows were amazing from what I heard. I was too young to go at 7-8 yo. Let's Go Trippin was the first surf song hit, Dale beating Jan and Dean and The Beach Boys on the charts. I had the single back then. What a great time to be alive.
A true American artist
Talks in the 3rd person
I've watched whole concerts and he doesn't change picks as much as he claims ...still a badass
Malcolm Young using heavy gauge strings they say he would disintegrate the picks during one song. He's right about Dean Markely best strings hands down.
How come bass players don't have this problem? Their strings gage is not heavy it's mega ultra heavy. He says that he only had one electric guitar that Leo gave and moved the knobs down for him in 55. How come that his guitar is not a right hand with the knobs down but a real lefty with rosewood fingerbord ? That didn't even exist until 59. So don't believe him. He is so full of shit. But great music.
Love Dean Markley strings , never broke them. GHS boomers are nice but can break, Ernie Ball break all the time, D'addario practically suck and last a week
@@GaryLet I am talking about picks not strings.
Ok. Ya had me up to Going through six or seven picks on one song.
2:48
Third person, wtf!?
It makes the whole thing seem way more intense than it ought to have been. I find him a bit scary. I keep thinking “...but YOU are Dick Dale.”
@@andrewkemp1882 He apparently was a martial arts guy and a hot head with a short fuse. He was out there. A friend who got to see him live in his later years told me that Dick Dale was indeed the loudest show he'd ever seen. And, that his mic stand was completely covered in like a glitter from all the pick dust.
Modesty is not one of his virtues.
He really looks and kinda talks like hes done a fair amount of serving time
LOL @ 'Legend Of The Fancy Transformer' HAHA =)) I got 2X 18" drivers on my PC 4 sound & he pretends 2X15 short throw things R 'making people's ears bleed' (as if that is something good? 2 harm your audience?) Well sure U can damage hears with HIGH frequencies, but not bass really, & 100 watts isn't that loud when U R doing bass. 1,000 will kind of get U there, but not in a big venue. If he wants 2 B so 'deep' maybe he should switch 2 bass. Fux sake, 16 guage for a high E string is absurd. Just turn up the amp, not ruin your fingers. No wonder he can't 'solo'. It takes 2 much energy just 2 fret 1 note on his unnecessarily tight strings. Thin, loose strings hit softly sound the same if U just EQ them right. Actually, they sound BETTER because the 'formants' R more even multiples of the fundamental instead of rising up as U go more like a piano = better 4 chords than tight strings on a guitar. That's Y bass chords usually sound bad = strings 2 tight.
Don't be a dick.
So please tell me Master, do you consider 0.10-0.46 light enough?
Sweet user name bro
Deathrape2001 you are an ass when he was innovating his sound there were no guitar centers anything novel had to be built custom and built from the ground up it was hard to even find electric strings back then you spoiled pompous little ass
He was doing this stuff in the 50s and early 60s before you were born. He was still playing at the age of 79.
