Dick Dale played the electric guitar the way it should be played, as a teenager in the 1960’s I grooved on his music. From an electronic point of view, he was one of the guitar pilots that made the Germanium Transistor worth something part of his sound was the delicious fuzz distortion a leaky Germanium transistor puts on the amplified sound. Thanks, Mr. Dale for music that kept this driver awake at night driving across Wyoming's wide open emptiness.
