Dick Dale (Richard Anthony Monsour) born i Boston, Mass. on May 4, 1937, is a Lebanese American surf rock guitarist, known as The King of the Surf Guitar. He pioneered the surf music style, in 1961, drawing on Eastern musical scales and experimenting with reverberation. The "breakneck speed of his single-note staccato picking technique" as well as his showmanship with the guitar is considered a precursor to heavy metal music, influencing guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen.
