Has anyone ever tried to learn Misirlou for CBG? I think I have it, but I may be off. I kinda got it from the Raga scale, although it goes off of it, some. Here it is for GDG, UP 0 1 4 5 7 10 12 Down 12 11 8 7 4 1 0 So far, the tab I have is this. Not worrying about the surf style now. Just the basic tune. 0 1 4 5 7 10 12 8 7 0 1 4 5 7 10 12 8 7 8 7 8 7 5 5 4 5 4 1 0 Seen in the first of this video. https://youtu.be/gpOo_ILpY6Q

  • Just picked up my guitar to try it out and I think you're close.  The scale is double harmonic minor (Arabic), which would be this on the G string.

    0 1 4 5 7 8 11

    Try this out for the first two lines and see what you think.  Feels like you need the 8th fret in there on the way up like so:

    0 1 4 5 7 8 11 8 7

    • Thanks. I think I can get it, if I just go up and down that scale. That can be one of those finale songs like Thunderstruck. Turn up the teen/reverb, wank out, and just go nuts!
