Guitar Beat is the debut album by the neo-surf band the Raybeats.

The album features ten original instrumentals, plus a Jan and Dean cover.

The record sleeve also featured on the front a hand-colored photo of the band by photographer Laura Levine.

AllMusic called it "a magnificent, echo-drenched set of concise and atmospheric riff-driven tunes that in a better world would have turned up as the soundtrack for a James Bond movie directed by David Lynch.

"[1] All compositions by Pat Irwin, Jody Harris, Don Christensen and George Scott III except as indicated.
