Dick E. Dale
Richard Anthony Monsour, known professionally as Dick Dale, was an American rock guitarist. He was a pioneer of surf music, drawing on Middle Eastern music scales and experimenting with reverb. Dale was known as "The King of the Surf Guitar", which was also the title of his second studio album. Dale was one of the most influential guitarists of all time and especially of the early 1960s. Most of the leading bands in surf music, such as the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean and the Trashmen, were influenced by Dale's music, and often included recordings of Dale's songs in their albums. His style and music influenced guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Eddie Van Halen and Brian May. He has been credited with popularizing tremolo picking on electric guitar, a technique that is now widely used in many musical genres. His speedy single-note staccato picking technique was unrivaled until guitarists like Eddie Van Halen entered the music scene. He is cited as one of the fathers of heavy metal for pushing the limits of amplification. From Wikipedia (
