I loved the original 1960 version. When searching for it - I found it, but I also found this vastly superior version. I have listened to this one many, many times. It is a compelling melody in any form, but this version is the zenith!
I remember this song. Thought it was dumb. Hearing it now is different. This current take is happy and optimistic and improved over the original. The echo on the guitar has been softened; the double picking segments are perfect. So smooth and unpretentious. I see it's in the basement or studio and not a live gig. IS this one of the String Alongs? I didn't pick up on that. Wheels is iconic; a great sample of one type of 60's sound, although The Ventures' cover is too slick. They usually nailed covers. Wheels as a stand-alone song would not have survived without those transitions. I smiled because I did something similar for a few years. Recording bass, drums, horns, and background vocals. Playing them back on Mini DIsc and performing live. Great fun. Fans from back then occasionally want a recording with the vocals in. So I have to add to them. Thanks for this memory.
@@russhook6595 you are so right - the clean guitar sounds of the Shadows, Spotnicks & Ventures was great and influenced so many young guitarists around the world to discover a wonderful range of sounds that could be produced from an amplified electric guitar
Absolutely, hands down, the BEST rendition of Wheels I have ever heard! Freakin awesome! Thank you so much for this.
Wow, thank you! Bill.

@@billcatbarwon I bought this 45 for my dad's birthday. WoW! Was that in 1961?
@@russhook6595 it's an old tune that's for sure - it has a memorable melody but I'm not certain when it was first a hit on the airwaves
@@billcatbarwon The 60s had great pop music and great cars! The Ventures were also a great intruMENTAL band!
