WHOA!

Other than her obvious guitar skills, @frostyjr2 also boasts fearlessness and punctuality!
Not the type to be found wasting away valuable weeks of studio time in the wee hours waiting 'til the "vibe" is right, she attacks challenges head on and gets 'er done! Plucky surf tone... check! Diggable melody... check! Groovy bass line... check! Drenched in reverb... check!

Grab a towel Frosty, and let's all park on the beach and watch if @C-Grin dare jump into his musical board shorts and attempt drop into a nice pocket!

Let's see ... i don't have a Jazzmaster around atm, so i used a flatwounds-equipped T-type w/ P-90s (but Teles are OK as per the video).
Pounding drums? Check.
Relatively simple and repetitive twangy pentatonic-based melody w/ some dissonance picked close to the bridge? Done.
Is it drenched and dripping wet with time-based fx:? Yes indeed.
(Reverb, echo, and tremolo, all in the house courtesy of the HX Stomp and onboard stuff in the DAW.)
Tick tock (a/k/a 'ticky tack') muted guitar part included? Yeppers.
Over 1 minute long? For sure!

OK, that's my take on 21st century surf music!
i hope you folks will enjoy it.
I’m not going to listen until I finish mine:victoire:. But I’m sure it’s outstanding.

Well played, the repeats on the echo make me dizzy. Lol

While we wait, we have obtained secret leaked footage of @C-Grin honing his technique at world reknown Sunova Beach

@C-Grin reports he is keenly monitoring the tides & weather reports via the "WipeOut" app waiting for the super-rad wave action required to best showcase his totally awesome skills

While waiting for the weather to line up just right, he's been busy waxing & polishing his killer board, (among other things), prepping for a surfstyle performance TTR won't soon forget, no matter how hard we try.

So stoked!
 
@Ku² first in with his Main Event "RiffNumsters" intro/extro and a FINE go at it!

The ideal combo of comedic, yet slightly off-balance/creepy which is not easy! Bouncy bass line against surfy drums helps drive the vaguely "foreign" slavic-sounding guitar melody/rythm interplay, and quirky changes that Transylvanias it up nicely! The Producers will definitely consider this theme as a replacement ... Nice extra video edit work special effects extras and sound fx too!

Yet again the ferociously musical Kukucabra overdelivers
