Ya Carl good stuff. I love em too like the ventures and Johnny and the hurricanes….there’s a few and although guitar is the surf instrument sax DOES fit. I did Hawaii five-o, Wild Weekend, and Walk Don’t Run so check those out on sax if you haven’t already.

a lot of excellent backing tracks on this website, not just aimed at novices like me, but also aimed at seasoned players, with a very wide selection of tracks to choose from.

yes I forgot about sleepwalk, thanks Carl!

I get bollocks cause I have some English buddies, although since living in Canada they don’t use it as much.
Hey William, not sure what Carl meant by hooks and riffs but I call them embellishments or ornaments (ornamentation). It’s a huge part of my playing as you can hear in every song. Also wanted to tell you guys that I plan doing a lesson video on that sunject very soon.
