Dick Dale - Nitro

This is the music video for a song by surf rock guitarist Dick Dale. Dick is probably one of the most, if not the most famous surf rock guitarist. He kinda invented the genre of surf music. He said he wanted to imitate the sound a wave makes as it passes by a surfer on his guitar.
He revolutionized the use of various types of equipment, and was the first man ever tow own and use a 100 watt amplifier for his signature Fender Stratocaster.
His playing style is very unique, because he basically plays the guitar upside down. It's strung for a right handed player, but it's a left handed guitar that Dale uses as a lefty. Ergo he plays the guitar with the strings strung the opposite way as almost all other guitarist.
He also was a huge influence on later genres such as heavy metal and speed metal. He was one of the first guitarists to use eastern scales in his playing, and many believe him to be the first shredder in history, as his playing style can be described as fast, vicious, heavy and loud.
His most famous song is probably the Misirlou which is Dale's take on an old traditional Greek folk song. It's super fast, and perhaps one of the most recognizable riffs in history. It was also popularized by Quentin Tarantino's film "Pulp Fiction" as the main theme of the film.
"Nitro" is just a classic example of a classic Dick Dale song, fast and shreddy, but still with a slow moving eastern passage in the middle. It is the essence of Dale.

Enjoy ; )
