Dick Dale and the Del-Tones popularized Miserlou in 1962. Recently, the Pulp Fiction soundtrack introduced another generation to the tune. In fact, though, Miserlou is a Greek folk tune from waaaaay back. Dick Dale's '62 version largely defined the surf sound. He played it on Fender outboard spring reverb tank (along with a classic Stratocaster through a 1961 Showman setup). The original folk tune has lyrics, but -- as you surely know -- surf music does *not* have lyrics! Dick Dale just shouted "hu!" and "haa!" in a couple of spots. Dick Dale doublepicked Miserlou left-handed and upside-down at blinding speed. I've simplified this tab to emphasize Miserlou's melody. The original thus has about four times as many notes as you see here. Dick Dale apparently learned to speed-pick from his Lebanese uncle, who played an oud with a turkey quill. Dick Dale still tours -- don't miss him! The popular '62 version of Miserlou sometimes *sounds* a semi-tone higher than it appears here, especially in the lower ranges. StratoCossack attributes tuning and/or recording flukes to the '62 version, however. Later recordings and observationos at live performances bear out the approach set forth here, which resolves in E and puts exactly two octaves between the first and second guitar passages. If you want to mimic the '62 sound, trying bumping up the first guitar passage, on the low E string, by a semi-tone. Recorded: Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, 1962 Tabbed: Tom W. Bell, 1995 (with "Team Cowabunga," esp. StratoCossack, helping with the lead guitar, and Rick Weber helping with the trumpet) h --> hammer-on (and, sometimes, play in same beat) p --> pull-off (aka hammer-off) (and, sometimes, play in same beat) s --> slide # --> rest = --> hold note a beat 1pick --> singlepick 2pick --> doublepick "hu!"; "haa!" --> various shouts Tempo: Presto con huevos! (Doublepick all guitar passages unless otherwise indicated.)
