Gary Hoey, an amazing guitarist, doing "California Dreaming"
IMHO... the way it SHOULD be played...

From his album "Monster Surf"
Ping!
It... just... ROCKS...
My band opened up for him on one socal stop of his Christmas tour a few years back. Great showman!
Never cared for the song but this version
is more tolerable. I know you can be warm in LA,
but safe?
That’s pretty rockin’. Never heard him before, but he’s good.
Tho my pref in geetar listening tends more to some smokey blues stuff, e.g.

Magnificent guitarist and musician.
He “feels” it while he’s playing it.
There’s a lot of his other stuff on that page too. Check out his cover of Black Magic Woman.
Awesome.
I have seen him open for Yngwie Malmsteen.
No man, California is supposed to be mellow.

Nice... good to see a chick rocking the blues...
Here’s one you might like - Joe Bonamassa covering Deep Purple’s “Lazy” off of Machine Head.

This guy can JAM.
Hoey’s rendition of Focus’ ‘Hocus Pocus’ is very enjoyable too.
And yes... that is Vladimir Putin on the Bass!!! Haha!!!
(It’s not...)
He doesn’t have a bad track on any of his records.
His Christmas stuff is amazing.
Here's another instrumental you might enjoy; The Ultras - Death Tube
MANSON????
WTF!?!? Hahah!!! No way.
Dick Dale was ahead of the curve, for sure.
Great guitarist.
Thanks, I loves me some Bonamassa. we’re talkin’ legendary material there. Hadn’t seen that clip before yet, tho.
And if you dig chix rockin the blues, you should check out some of “Sad Sam’s Blues Jam”, I believe they’re on some kind of hiatus nowadays, but these young ladies can really knock your socks off:

Now if only I were able to play even just 1/10th as good as any of the guitar players cited in this thread, I could die a happy man.
I agree, however, this is not Dick Dale.
NICE!!!!!!!!!
Here’s one for you: The Iron Maidens.
The Trooper

and
Fear of the Dark

If this doesn’t rock you....
Just some harmless hippies singing about peace and love and “When you see the children with the Xs on there head and if stop and look at them soon you will be dead”
