The Ventures’ Perfidia

Not one to play favorites, I thought I’d make a new and more faithful arrangement of the Venture’s 1960 hit “Perfidia”. The difference between this and my prior versions is this one includes a rhythm guitar part.

Theme for Young Lovers

I am a huge fan of the 60’s British instrumental band The Shadows. Led by Hank Marvin, they arguably make the Ventures sound like a 3rd rate garage band by comparison. And I really love the Ventures. It’s really a shame that so few Americans knew of them.

Theme for Young Lovers is one of their hits, written by their rhythm guitarist, Bruce Welch.

For this recording I played everything except for programming the drum track.
