How You Know Him: Miserlou

Why He's Worth Watching:
Dick Dale wasn't nicknamed "King of the Surf Guitar" for nothing: he pretty much invented the style single-handedly, and no matter who copied or expanded upon his blueprint, he remains the fieriest, most technically gifted musician the genre ever produced. Named on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists of all time, Dale influenced the likes of Van Halen and Hendrix. And, if all that weren't enough, Dale managed to redefine his instrument while essentially playing it upside-down and backwards -- he switched sides in order to play left-handed, but without re-stringing it.

For Fans Of: Surf Guitar, Jimi Hendrix, Los Straitjackets, John Fogerty
