@doneaster Yep. Been using A major since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Got straightened out by the lead player in the last band I was in (since I made this video). Live and learn. Just took a long time for me. Thanks for the comment. You're right on... And thanks for wast... uhhh, I mean taking the time to listen to my God awful playing..
sweet tele, i saw one at a shop near my house for $225, like a real low end mexican fender, not a squire. played like butter and sounded real good too.
To say that "the Ventures "dumbed it down" is idiotic. Both of their versions, "Walk, Don't Run" and "Walk, Don't Run"'64" were both fantastic songs. Chet Akins' version is nothing short of lifeless.
If you ever wanna hook up with a guy in Pittsburgh to jam with, I'm loking for a couple guys that might wanna play some oldie tunes like this. Great job!
Great to see this. Don't forget that link between Johnny Smith and the Ventures - Chet Atkins. Chet took Smith's tune, put his thumb pickin' rythm to it, then the Ventures "dumbed it down" from there - All versions were outstanding!
I used to dance to this with my date on a lonely dirt road in Carroll County. We use to park the car, open the doors and crank the radio up high. That was the good old days!
Good job buddy. :) I have a friend back in my hometown who is tryin' to get a band started playin' instrumentals like this. He's actually got me looking for the Ventures 45 anniversary DVD for him. :) You'd fit right in with my buddy's band for sure. :)
very nice! I actually prefer this to the original one.
