just an FYI- Walk, Don't run was written in 1955 by jazz guitarist Johnny Smith and re-recorded later by Chet Atkins. The Ventures, originally Bob Bogle and Don Wilson (best instrumental group in the entire history of the entire known universe!) revamped the song for guitar combo and kicked up the tempo.
In 1963, I was the first kid on my block to play The Ventures version all the way thru.
Sterling work sir. My fingers always seem to get tangled up trying to pick this, but you have done justice to this tune for the finger pickers!
