Great track! I never realized how complicated the drum part and the bass part were. I especially love the "bridge" sections. The walking bass rocks. I play professionally and would love if my backing band played it like this. It's hard to find musicians who will take the hours necessary to analyze a part and play it like the record. That's always my goal: PLAY IT LIKE THE RECORD. Nothing added, nothing left out. When I play the guitar lead, I think to myself that I'm back in the sixties in the recording studio and playing on the record. There's one thing missing - the saxophone. No biggie. It's such a great gravel sound. I forget what they call it when a sax plays like that.
@@tomcon21 I looked it up and think the term I was thinking of is growling, although honking is a good term also. Back in the day, I did a lot of music for commercials. I found that synthesizers are not good at imitating a solo sax. They get the sound pretty good, but a sax player uses a lot of expression, which is hard to coax from a synth. Synths do a good job of voicing a sax section, like in the song "In The Mood" by Benny Goodman. I always play that song to test a synth's sax sounds. On a side note, I listened to Surf Rider by the Ventures (who wrote the song). Surprisingly, their version was not as good as The Lively Ones, which you copied. They did a fantastic job on that song, which led to its use in Pulp Fiction. It's amazing to me that a fun, surfing song fits so well in a murder movie. Bravo to Quentin Tarantino for choosing it. I would have never thought of using that song.
THANK YOU - SO MUCH - this is awesome and sooo helpful - i love your channel - so great and very useful - i love to learn n play with you - grateful greeting from germany
This is so fun to play over!! thank you!! Like most of Nokie's compositions, it's trickier than it seems to play right...the trem bar stuff I get sloppy on so great for practice...
Tom great job. I want to make a garage band of the song but I want the guitar and bass to be me. Do you have the rhythm chords and bass tab by any chance?
Thank you so much for the backing track! It has been very helpful while learning and I used a part of it on my own cover: ua-cam.com/video/31TcJrNRwO4/v-deo.html. Of course, your credits are added. Should you need something, just let me know.

Thank you! Maybe the term is “honking” for the sax.... I couldn’t recreate that part faithfully with my computer. 😁

Written by Nokie Edwards there was no sax part. The Ventures version was SO clean!
I like the bass playing far behind the beat, gives an hypnotic mood to the tune
Thanks! This is appreciated!
I love this tune. Thanks for the backing track!
Beautiful backing track!
Subbed!

Halelluya! I've managed to download it to MP3 just from the title!

Yes, the sax player was sick that day. 😉
