Wonderwall by Oasis


Adding another song to my song book. When you break it down this actually looks pretty simple. It's really all about the strumming. This guys breaks down the strumming in a way that helps you build slowly up to the pace of the song. Good stuff.

Surfer's Code by Shaun Tomson

A fantastic look into the mind of one of surfing's finest ambassadors. I had the pleasure of meeting Shaun at the Groundswell Society's Surfing, Arts, Sciences and Issues Conference in 2007 when he gave a presentation about an epic session he had down at J-Bay with Kelly Slater. It's nice to find a guy in the limelight that really does walk the walk...
in reference to:
""Over the last 37 years, I have traveled and surfed many of the world's best waves and have surfed with many of the world's greatest surfers. Some very special surfers have a unique connection with the ocean and a sense of how they fit into the universe. I have taken pieces of wisdom from these surfers, and other people, and have used them throughout my surfing life." "Hopefully, you may find these thoughts useful too.""
