Magical, signature interpretation of one The Ventures’ oldest and slowest times, particularly on chords, sliding, bending, and other terrific 🎸 techniques. Listening to this song with my eyes closed took me to a wonderful, dreamy world! Thank you for sharing your skillful guitar playing online with others!
Intricate stuff I really like that dreamy sounding face melting downward bend action it's like going off a cliff and those harmonics in the intro were jaw dropping!!
Oh my gosh, Bob Bogel is here! I listened to this on the radio many, many times as a kid. Bought the Ventures album and that fired off a life of guitar. Have 88+, last count of their albums. Tom, perfect! Thanks (again)....!!

I am happy that you play The Ventures Green Fields for not too many people play it in you tube and they are not as good as you play. fhis Green fields song.Thanks Tom..Cheers 👍👏😊
When I listened to the "Colorful Ventures" album in 1961, I always skip this tune as it is kind of slow and boring. Now when you played it I keep re-playing - strange! You must have a magic hand. Thanks for the backing !!
Thanks Tom, I wait for you to play this classic old Ventures’s Green fields song for a while and you surprise me and finally you did it nicely and smoothly.I love it.👍🎸👏🙏😊Cheers. Btw, you will have backing track for this song?
Great job Tom - at the risk of being cheeky do you have a tab for the song Spanish Moon by Ron Storey and the Travelers (early sixties surf)?The track "Tomorrow's Love" by The Ventures on their "Knock Me Out" album is very similar but not quite as haunting IMHO
Hi Tom! First time commenting on any of your videos but just to make things simple and short. Your playing skills are just unbelievably good! Thank you sooo much for doing what you do keeping this music alive and not only sharing it with us but taking us to school on how to play it! I’ve learned sooo many songs and playing skills because of you! Surf Rock runs through my veins and I can’t get enough of it! I just really would like to ask if you can help me understand if on greenfields should I use echo/delay and what type or do you also mix in with reverb? As well on songs Because I Love You and And I Love Her ? I just here the notes sometimes ring out for a moment and just don’t know if it’s a reverb or some type of delay setting? Thanks again! And if it’s not to much trouble some advise/ technique on how to pluck and get those artificial harmonics????
another fine one. RIP Don Wilson.
Thanks, Tom....makes me cry happy tears .

“ One I never heard before… minor key melancholy harp harmonics melody. The best playing as always, you are so skillful.”
That was special Tom!! I stopped the traditional waltz and put my arms around around her waist….enchanting….Duane 🇨🇦
Nothing sounds like a jazz master.

You wouldn't be the John Welch that I jammed with in Portland ,Maine in the late 60"s would you ??

How do you play the arpeggio harmonics? I can never get them to sound right 🤔
Lovely Tom, any chance of some Shadows tunes ?
Thanks, yes, which ones???
@@tomcon21 Kon Tiki was one I always liked.
@@tomcon21 Tom, have you ever covered Manchurian Beat?
No, I’ll look into it!
@@tomcon21 Thanks...it's a great tune...originally a Russian waltz!

Disculpe señor, fuego tiene?
Good job on the harmonics - not easy on an electric. Haven’t seen a copy of the BT for Love Potion #9 by any chance,Tom?
Sent you an email!
Could you please provide a backing track for this? I could not find one.
Thanks
It will be available alone and as a set when I complete a set of 10. Thanks
O som dessa 🎸 é estupidamente belo, fascinante, adorável 😍😍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Quite Eloquent!
Le recomiendo Mojave de insect surfers. Buena banda
Muito bom! Romantic
