Al Jardine needs little introduction. Here, the Beach Boys co-founder and rhythm guitarist checks in with Guitar World for a quick-fire Q&A in which he shares a new found love of delay pedals – they make Good Vibrations really pop – his favorite guitar amps, and why he wishes he had learned his scales.
And the Beach Boys being pop-cultural phenomenon that crested in the ‘60s, it wouldn’t be a conversation without some weirdness in it, right? So of course Jardine would come to lose one of his acoustic guitars to the Manson Family – and a Martin D-45 of that vintage would be worth quite a bit of money these days.
