The Ventures when clinking on all cylinders are a pretty well oiled machine. With Bob Bogle on bass, Don Wilson on rhythm, Mel Taylor on drums and underrated Nokie Edwards on lead it would be problematic to find a player that could surpass them at their individual spots. Alas, Mel Taylor passed away, Bob Bogle died, Don and Nokie has severe health problems now--. In fairness, the Ventures in their prime never played England and I feel they would be the first to shake Hank Marvin's hand.

@gl797 I have watched the video you suggested but it is the wrong era for my comparison. He plays well but once again for me it's a country lick. When the shadows recorded Ghost Riders it was in the middle of the disco era and it had those peeeoo peeeoo electronic drums !!! I remember listening to it for the first time and thinking WHAT IS THIS not one of my favorites.

@gl797 It is simply a comparison of styles, the only point I might be making is to our American friends that The Shadows are very famous as they seem to write them off as virtually unknown. It is difficult to find Ventures footage that is good so feel free to recommend a better version. I learned Apache when I was 14 and have been playing this style all my life and I find the ventures lead guitarists country style licks out of place. I also like The Ventures records but not live, What is STFU ?

@Fendergrunge First of all could I ask you not to use foul abusive language on my uploads please. This was the only ventures video I could find playing the same tune at about the same time, mid 2000's. I realize there is a difference in production but surely this simply reflects where The Shadows and The Ventures were at this point in their careers. The Shadows only play in massive venues with proper production whereas The Ventures play in small venues. Can you find me a better version ?

When you do cover some music is not wanting to play better than the original. You play because they like the music. It is a tribute to the original author. Please do not compare bands and style. Do not be wasting time with these comparisons. Record you playing this music and show how to play better than them.

Yea compare a crappy cell phone video to a proffessionaly recorded Concert. Yea totally fair. I say if you wanna compare go to their concerts. Ive been to the shadows concert and Ventures concert about at the same time and I will guarentee that The Ventures Are far more superior. I can also guarentee my spelling is horrible

The Shadows and The Ventures are both superb bands. An this is not a fair comparison as Xxwolfspirit7Xx says, sound source quality is not even the same. I don't agree with these type of comparisons, but if that is the case, why don't you compare them when both were in their prime? You want to know what the Ventures were capable? Check their JAWDROPPING performance Live in Japan 1966, kzitem.info/news/bejne/zaWqnYSOj2endG0 Perfect execution, high speed, zero mistakes. NOBODY could play like that in 1965, not even Hendrix, Beck, Clapton or whoever guitar hero you may want to mention, and Jimi Hendrix is my favorite guitar player.
