So I listened carefully to (and watched) the Ventures doing this. To me it sounds like in the introduction, they are playing A Major, but once the verse starts with the lead guitar playing the melody, then it's A MINOR. Which makes sense because otherwise the melody (which features the minor 3d - C natural, as posed to C Sharp) would clash with an A Major. Check it out, you can hear and see them change from playing A Major in the intro to A Minor during the verses. ruclips.net/video/hIuIIqbyEIU/видео.html

Nice to see someone get the progression right! So many people think it's an A minor at the top but it's A major.
