The addition of rhythm 'stems' for tunes like this are essential. To get this right, it's all in the timing. Good job.

[@larrygoldstein3481]

You could easily join the Ventures if Bob Spalding were to ever quit. Great job!

[@davekirby7790]

thanks. my grandson enjoy your videos

👍🎸👏 like how you play this song. You have a very good memory for all the songs you play.I hope you can play The Ventures Let’s Go,this is a nice old song to play.Thanks you have us a good memory of The Ventures.Cheers

[@thesurfjunkies]

Hey Tom, great tutorial. We linked to it over on our tutorial video for the sax solo of The Champs version but we know quite a few people know The Ventures version so figured it would be helpful to do so. Keep up the great work here, you are the man!

[@tomcon21]

Oh thanks!

[@thesurfjunkies]

@@tomcon21 no problem. Forgot to say that we gave you a shoutout in the video too.

[@bobmarsh7550]

Love your lessons of these timeless classics.

[@tomcon21]

Thank you Bob!

[@Casey3-P-O]

Nice JM!
I love this song, but I've never heard this version. I was just learning The Champ's version, and I came across this video. I'm going to finish learning The Champ's version, and then I'm going to learn this one because this one has a more "involved" guitar part. Fun song. Thanks for the tabs.

[@jimking3288]

Hi Tom, I really appreciate these lessons as I grew up on this stuff !! Can I ask if you do printed tabs like on WordDoc or PDF ? Just I hate making notes as my hand writing is messy and printed tabs would be great. I will be checking out your resources which are available and I'm quite happy to pay for gaining help with these songs. Best regards Jim

[@tomcon21]

Thanks Jim, unfortunately I only made the tabs to fit as they are in the video. As of now, I don’t have them in a word doc or pdf.

Thanks !!

Thanks, I have a real tube amp.

[@Fendervana]

@@tomcon21 ah my bad. It sounds like software modeling.

[@tomcon21]

It is. But I own a real tube amp.

[@tomcon21]

I should also point out that I sequence the drums and bass guitar parts using midi. So those aren’t “real” sounds either. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Although the whole process of putting it all together takes a lot of time.
