Walk Don’t Run The Ventures | Guitar TAB & Chords

This is an arrangement for Walk Don’t Run by The Ventures. I have taken the lead guitar parts from my cover video and added the TAB arrangement and chords at the bottom of the screen. Hope it helps if you are interested in learning this classic! Clean tone for days and some reverb and you’ll be in business.

Basically one chord shape, one major scale pattern and the composer of this piece created a timeless melody that evokes so much emotion. Just goes to show that, in music, it's not how much you know but what you can do with it.

This was the first band I ever heard and liked. My Dad was into these guys. I love the Ventures.

Perfectly done! I bought the 45 rpm record on Dolton label in 1960 when I was 10 and still have it. Just love this song and thanks for doing it justice.

Great! After a few decades I finally decided to learn it this week. Amazing how the simple time and the simple music done right still sounds great to this day.

Thanks for sharing. It has that raw Ventures sound. The Shadows version is more disco in flavour .

[장민-zm]

Of many other video's the transition part of each theme is best in this piece.

That was great Jimmy! Thanks for including the tabs. Look forward to your next one.

The history of this is Smith used the progression of "Softly as in a morning sunrise" and created "Walk Dont Run". Chet Atkins, who thought Johnny Smith was God did a cover of Johnny Smiths Walk Dont Run in that Chet Atkins boom chick the Ventures heard that version and came up with their variation and created the iconic surf rock theme everyone knows. At this time Johnny Smith had managed to cut off the top off his index finger while flying his plane and while in hospital the royalties starting flowing to him from the Ventrues.
I love the Ventures version but the Johnny Smith creation trumps them all. Shows what comes out of Jazz into the mainstream hey. I have a vague memory of Benson and Hedges using the johnny smith version for an ad back in 69.

What appears as an A major chord sounds like an A minor chord. The notes are showing a C# in the chord, but I'm hearing a C natural.
