“Miserlou” by Dick Dale

    Riff Rundown

    Difficulty: Intermediate

    Quentin Tarantino used this classic surf tune in the soundtrack for his movie masterpiece “Pulp Fiction”.

    It’s performed with tremelo picking which is represented in the tab with 3 diagonal slashes above the note. To do this you’ll simply alternate pick (up, down, up, down strokes) each note as fast as you can. Also, be sure to use plenty of reverb to get that classic surf sound!
