Surf's up!! Old guys gather 'round...

[Alvin Lee Fan]

Round two of clips begins

If you're old enough to remember The Ventures, you might like this one.

A cyber-collab, an online friend made this backing, I supplied the lead guitar.

A Ventures tune called "Yellow Jacket". This is a P90 Les Paul through a TM 10 using a Fender amp sim.

Hope you like it :laugh2:

I loved it, I really love The Ventures stuff. That sounded great, goes to show how versatile LP's can really be in the right hands.

I just came across a legit Ventures model Mosrite over the weekend when I was out tire-kicking - oh man if I had the money for that I would be psyched.

I think I posted this link a while back but it is soo much fun I'll post it again. Not that the Japanese can be anal or anything but they even play the wrong notes from the live shows - The M-Ventures Live in Tokyo
