Surf Music for Lap Steel

In C6th & A6th Tunings

Steel guitar and surf music are made for one another. The lap steel guitar is capable of expressing all the many of the nuances of the Surf genre, from moody, melodic minor-key songs to atmospheric ballads that echo the feeling of the sea.

Spiral-bound to lay flat, this 73-page, book features 18 classic Surf songs that run the gamut of moods and allow the steel guitar to shine as the lead voice in this music. This book includes a Free Download of MIDI Backing Tracks for all the arrangements in the book.

Arrangements in the book (with MIDI examples) below. Please note: these MIDI files are intended solely to demonstrate the pitches and rhythms of each song. They are not meant to imitate the complex tonal signature of a steel guitar.
