☺ Surfin' USSR

[Rikkyhardo]

Man your a good surfer Virgil ... what ya like in the water?

Seriously ... хороший (horoshiĭ) good ... music - музыка (muzyka) ... мой друг (moĭ drug) my friend

[cbrb40]

Oh man that's awesome!! You wrote a classic here,it's like going back to the 60's,my favorite time. :)) You're a great guitarist my bro Virgil! I was blown away by your playing. I always wanted to play lead like that but could never do it. I try anf try but I keep it very simple. This rocks! I love the melody line. it's so catchy. I can hear this in a movie soundtrack. You should make some big dough on this,it's great! You're a trip,you're funny with the old surf dancing. I loved it! :))

[VirgilGuitar]

@cbrb40 Ha! Thanks bro - same thought here that it should be in a movie or some surf documentary someday! Appreciate the kind words!

[plattform5163]

Great sound! Thanks for sharing!

[mommarox2]

luving this bro

[willienelsonpri]

Virgil, this is so farout. I love that surfing sound and you perfected that sound with lots of little nuances. You are an incredible impeccable guitar player. Your fingers just dance. Thanks fro making me smile too. You have a great sense of humor. But that water sure looks cold. Definitely not Maui. Brrrr. Liz

[sethwmax]

sweet instrumental V. great video too. i love it when humor with music mix. sweet guitar too...is that an american vintage '57?

[ninjabluewings]

FANTASTIC SONG! This Reminds Me Of Walk Don't Run. You Sure Got That RETRO SOUND! VERY COOL!

[VirgilGuitar]

ninjabluewings: YES! Great comparison - thanks so much! It actually has the same type of chord sequence from the beginning of their song that I had noticed a few years after I originally recorded it - the intro is totally the riff from Wipeout and the solo reminds me a little bit of the James Bond song! This was recorded with my '56 Strat relic, which has a great tone for surf!! Thanks so much for visiting!

Love it!

Moosie

[VirgilGuitar]

MOOSIE! I'm glad you found your way over here bro - we thought you were dead!!! LMAO

[ivanetelilja]

Lindo demais parabéns

[VirgilGuitar]

ivanetelilja: Well, I tried to translate this to Google, but it broke the internet and didn't give me an answer, so I'm guessing they are powerful words, yet my brother insists that it means "You need new guitar strings dude!" Anyways, thanks for watching my vid!!

[prosepp]

Hey Virgil, why don´t they offer me 7 stars instaed of 5 on this vid ??

I would give you 7 ******* minimum *gg

Greetings Eduard

[VirgilGuitar]

Eduard: Wow, thank you so much - we can put in a request for YouTube to add 2 more stars for the vid, but knowing those guys it won't be done until December!! Thanks again!!!

[prosepp]

lol !!!

I have to thank you, as YOU really changed my life (also i am sure you even did not recongnize you did).

And this is no joke !

[VirgilGuitar]

And how did I change your life? Mr. Curiosity wants to know now!!

[prosepp]

yep !

its really been curious *lol

think i came to your site caused by the "rockstar video". And subbed you.

And YOU brought me to all those wonderful Toobstock people.

As i told you. Its no joke.

Maybe its as we both are Mr. Curiosity ´s - you´re the American one, i´m the Gefrman one *lol

that´s what´s connecting us

[VirgilGuitar]

Prosep: Very cool! ToobStock was a life-changing experience and maybe we can meet there sometime!!

[prosepp]

you make me laugh in the early morning !

Its hat i said to Moosie some days ago: If Money wouldn´t be something absolutely and always missing i would be there next year.

But as i am always living "from hand to maouth" (don´t know if this expression´s existing in English" i don´t know if this will ever happen.

On the other hand: I know that its quite often, that very unexspected things are happening.

It´s just in God´s hands.

[CrystallampProd]

Nice virgil,you got me surfin..Cool guitar man..

You play real good..

Peace..Roger

[VirgilGuitar]

Roger! Thanks buddy! Do they surf in Norway after the ice melts?
