Richard Anthony Monsour (May 4, 1937 – March 16, 2019), known professionally as Dick Dale, was an American rock guitarist. He was a pioneer of surf music, drawing on Middle Eastern music scales and experimenting with reverberation. Dale was known as "The King of the Surf Guitar", which was also the title given to his second studio album.
Dale worked closely with the manufacturer Fender to produce custom-made amplifiers[1] including the first-ever 100-watt guitar amplifier.[2] He pushed the limits of electric amplification technology, helping to develop equipment that was capable of producing a louder guitar sound without sacrificing reliability.[1]

Though its a forgotten genre of rock, surf music had a big impact on the musicians that came after it. The pace of the playing would become something that inspired a lot of folks over the years.
