Steemit Open Mic Week 54 - "Pipeline"- Early 60's Surf Music Instrumental Retro Classic

in #openmic7 years ago


Time travel with me back to the early 1960's with the classic surf music instrumental "Pipeline"!

Spring reverb and retro tube amplification combine for a splashy echoing sound characteristic of the music of this era. A music that was strongly connected in the popular mind with Southern California and the dream of chasing waves and chasing girls (or guys) in a place with its own rules. Beach rules.

Thanks @pfunk, @luzcypher and the judges for running and promoting this great community sound event each week!

What guitar is that???

@dse, that's a Hallmark Sweptwing. They were produced in limited quantities in the mid 1960's and are in renewed production these days with similar specifications. It got it for the looks but kept playing it for the sound.

Nice man!, how did you make the organ sound? really cool!...
Also what guitar is that? :D

Much apprecieation @dreamrafa.

The organ is an Electro-Harmonix C9 pedal. They make several different models offering various nice organ/synth sounds you can play thru your guitar.

The guitar is a Hallmark Sweptwing. This design was made in the mid 60's in limited quantities and the Harmony company has produced some of very similar design more recently. I got the guitar years ago for the Jetsons look but have kept playing it due to the clarity/tone and very functional tremolo setup.

One of your more "serious" entries... and it WORKS for me... IMO, you should keep on this path - you have much more to offer than you might think... Cool rendition, brother!

Thank you @passion-ground for your feedback and I will seriously consider what you have said.

Yeah, Bill, it's all in good fun - and always a good idea to mix things up and not take things too seriously...

Sound really well!!! good patchs!

Gracias @annyguitar. Enjoying your playing as well, very soulful.
