    He was a pioneer for sure. Learned how to play the Tarabake and Oud as a child -born Richard Monsour, his father was Lebanese-and drawing on this his style was heavily influenced by Lebanese folk music. Worked with fender directly to create more powerful amps as he was destroying them, including groundbreaking creation of 100 watt amps. Did someone mention reverb? Yeah he was groundbreaking in that category too….as Hendrix later would, dick dale was a lefty who played a righty guitar but he left the strings (aside from upgrading to some of the heaviest gauges in use) in the original positions thus playing reversed basically, Hendrix famously restrung his to reverse it.
    It’s with good reason that he is called the king of surf rock and also the father of heavy metal. If you dig his sound, I highly recommend looking him up and reading about not just the musical achievements he had or the influence he had on arguably the greatest guitar players we’ve ever heard (his influence mentioned by them-Hendrix, Eddie, Brian may and countless more) but also his life experiences and seemingly endless battles he had be it cancer or environmental consciousness etc….truly was an amazing individual who was mourned by the music world and lastly someone I’m very proud to call a fellow Lebanese.

      ​@@LetsGoBuckWildI would say that at that exact time Dick Dale and Link Wray were probably the heaviest guitar players on the planet. Even Eric Clapton was not playing so ferocious at that time. Nor Buddy Guy either . Then right after that Pete Townsend would come along with The Who and Chris Britain would come along with The troggs and start a proto heavy metal movement. But in my opinion dick and Link started it all 😊

      It being Anaheim, the land is probably worth way more than the historic value of a run down old building. The fact that apartments are now on the site is not at all surprising considering how many people work in Anaheim (especially for "the mouse"). It's economics and meeting a human need.

      Of course the "song" he was playing was taken from the 20's . But it was never played .. in this way like he was playing it . The Egyptians didn't play it on a Fender stratocaster , and do sliding up and down the neck . Yes it was a new sound

      Greek song from the 20s, about a Greek boy falling for an Egyptian girl, hence the confusion - and yes, definitely a new sound, must have been incredible to hear for the first time
