Ventures Guitars and Amps

[abstamaria]

Both were excellent, Ernst. It is amazing that the versions are of the same song. I can't tell which one you enjoyed more, but you did smile in the Shadows version.

I saw you had many YouTube videos. I watched several and enjoyed them. Thank you for taking the time to post.

Regards,

Andres

Hi Andres,

thanks for your kind comment. Not smiling on the Shadows version was just a matter of concentration.)

As I was familiar with this one I still prefer the Shadows version.

Sorry guys, I can't see or hear anything good in that video apart from those nice Fender amps and the wasted Gretsch drum kit. To me it was a poor rendition of a good piece of music - these guys in my opinion are the 'John and Edward' of instrumental music, so often their guitars are out of tune. I have listened to many of their recordings in an effort to try and 'get it', but it ain't there for me.
Give me Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, Jeff Beck etc every time. Dare anyone else agree?
Tin hat in place.

Sorry, but I would be a little bit reserved with criticism. This guy can play the guitar ! He is a part of the Ventures.4 examples of good piece
of music and well performed ( LIVE ) !

On the coverpic of the single "The Swinging Creeper" the band ( Ventures ) was shown with amps I`d never seen before. Does anyone know the brand ?

Hi There.

I love both versions of "Slaughter of ten'th avenue."

About The Ventures' one, Producer Dick Glasser maybe arranged the tune.

On the bridge . Steve Douglas of Duane Eddy Band blew the sax through the Leslie speaker.
That is great sound.

About The Shadows' one.

I saw Hank played both Burns and Gibson standing on the stage, when the tune was recording as " Live in Japan" album.

That was cool !!

So sorry for my poor English.

Sincerly yours.

Here's the Ventures with their 'ARIA' Ventures models, for those that have not mentioned them yet. Incidentally, they had 'Kinman' pickups.
