Thank you Tom for your dedication and terrific guitarmanship of rock and surf music!

" One that the Ventures never covered...but you did it beautifully".

[demondarcy]

for us surf nerds out there you are a godsend

[trent]

As someone who started playing guitar based solely on heavy metal and blues, these surf rock lessons are amazing. Totally different style and progressions. I absolutely love these videos and the way you have the chords/tab set up with the playing is perfect!

I was the ghost writer for the DC5 and wrote some of their earlier songs such as 'Mulberry bush', 'Doo Dah', ' That's what I said', 'All of the time', No time to lose', 'Can I trust you', 'Sometimes' and a few other B sides and album tracks, also some of their hits such as 'Bit's and pieces', 'Anyway you want it', 'Thinking of you baby'. I mostly write in the key of C as it suits my voice. I wrote 'Because' in C using the first four chords as C/Abaug/Am/C7, but when I played it to Mike Smith C was too low for his voice so we transposed it to G.
You made a fine job of this video, nice playing. Mike made a great job of singing it but my favourite version is the one made by Julian Lennon, he found something in my simple love song that most others missed, it's a wonderful version.

You don't get chords like those anymore, lovely 😎🎸✅

[maxwelld]

[Nate-ghhy]

Very nice tribute to the 60s British group the Dave Clark Five. Thanks for sharing Tom

[oldbluesboy]

Exquisitely played... I remember the DC5 when I was at school. They were very popular but then faded away. Good to hear this again! :-)

[mattrobillard]

Another great one. The way you incorporate the tabs and chords as you play make learning these songs great. Please keep doing what you are doing. We need more people like you to learn from. Thank you so much.

My wedding song 38 years ago. The bandleader was friends with my in-laws. I think the band listened to the 45 once. Let's just say I wish you were there to play it! I will have to try to learn it myself.

[anthonyderosa]

Nice. One of my favorites. Thanks for the memory.

[BigEd]

Thank you Tom ! My first time ever hearing this song and it’s a beauty !

[tonylilley]

I just starting to learn the guitar at an older age, these videos make it so easy to learn, simple tunes but satisfying to play best wishes

[edwill]
