That is a great idea. I have been planning to do that myself. I think it´s a way to make people think harp is cool again. I have been a surf fan sense Pulp fiction.

Yup, most of the riffs seem to be nicely playable with the harp.

Btw. there's an easy way to play the pulp fiction scale:
Move up the harp in 1st position but play all the draw notes bend all the way...

Kinda funny to see this thread.
Just this morning I was fooling around trying to learn one of my all time favorite guitar insrumentals "Apache" on the harp in A min.
The Shadows version is great, the Ventures version is alright, but I've always been partial the the Jorgen Ingmann version...

More Surf that should work out fine on harp:
"Pipeline" The Chantay´s
"The Bullwinkle 2" The Centurians
"Wipe out"
There are also two cool groups from Sweden that you should check out. -"Robert Johnson And The Punchdrunks" and "The Barbwires" they are still going strong and been playing sens more than ten years. And yes his name is realy Robert Johnson. Gues his father digs blues.
