Wipe Out (album)
''Wipe Out'' is a Dot Records album credited to The Surfaris, released in 1963. It contains their best known song " Wipe Out". It turned out that only two tracks, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe" were actually played by The Surfaris, therefore repressings were titled ''Wipe Out and Surfer Joe and Other Popular Selections by Other Instrumental Groups''. Those other instrumental groups were never named. The Surfaris were signed to Decca Records, and their first album on that label was called '' Play'' (Decca DL 4470). Dot released a single from this album in July 1965: "You Can't Sit Down", backed with "Surfer Joe", catalog number Dot 16757. Background The album features cover versions of rock standards, minus the two originals, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe". "Wipe Out" was written by all members of the band, whilst "Surfer Joe" was penned by drummer Ron Wilson.

Rhythm Guitar
In music performances, rhythm guitar is a technique and role that performs a combination of two functions: to provide all or part of the rhythmic pulse in conjunction with other instruments from the rhythm section (e.g., drum kit, bass guitar); and to provide all or part of the harmony, i.e. the chords from a song's chord progression, where a chord is a group of notes played together. Therefore, the basic technique of rhythm guitar is to hold down a series of chords with the fretting hand while strumming or fingerpicking rhythmically with the other hand. More developed rhythm techniques include arpeggios, damping, riffs, chord solos, and complex strums. In ensembles or bands playing within the acoustic, country, blues, rock or metal genres (among others), a guitarist playing the rhythm part of a composition plays the role of supporting the melodic lines and improvised solos played on the lead instrument or instruments, be they strings, wind, brass, keyboard or even ...
