Known for surf rock, guitar hero Dick Dale is one of the precoursurs to heavy metal. He has a singlenote staccato picking technique and he's also known for running his sound through his custom made, signature Fender Stratocaster and amps. Even at 78, Dale still holds the crown still as the king of surf guitar. He always puts on a good show at the Grog Shop, one of this favorite clubs in the country. ( Alexandra Hintz)
