Gerald James McGee, known as Gerry McGee, born in Eunice, Louisiana in 1937, into a very musical Cajun family. Gerry joined The Ventures in 1968 and travels to Japan every summer to play concerts with The Ventures. Gerry McGee was the second great lead guitarist in the Ventures, joining for "Hawaii Five-O" and playing on scads of records and tours. Legendary guitarist Gerry McGee, 82, died of an apparent heart attack in Tokyo Oct. 12 while on a solo tour of Japan.
These wonderful musicians gave us a lifetime of great memories and love. I could listen forever!!! Thank you, Ventures!!! Nobody will ever fill your shoes.
Hermoso escuchar esta música de mi México con interpretación magistral del gran señor Mc Gee. He disfrutado su música a lo largo de 57 años, son únicos todos ellos. Gracias por este video.
My favourite quitar group since they started and was lucky enough to see and hear them live in Winnipeg Manitoba a few years ago. Was an awesome experience where they played all the oldies of their careers that the audience well appreciated.
I saw them twice in person. During the break I talked with Don Wilson and we got on to Gerry McGee and Don told me that Gerry was one of the best pickers around. I wish we could see them one more time. But the memories will last me until I'm gone, being 78 years old now. They were the best.
I'm certainly glad that I was able to grow up listening to The Ventures from day 1 and all throughout their career, I had the pleasure of meeting them and going backstage with the group, what a wonderful group of guys as well as fabulous musicians!! Thanks for posting this gem!!
Awesome The Ventures are the best, It's a pleasure to hear them play. RIP Mel and Bob they will live forever in our hearts with their beautiful music..
I've listened to some Ventures, even learned to play Pipeline and Apache, but never realized how good Gerry is. WOW! Never heard him play acoustic or songs of this complexity. He's one of the best.
Gerry really knows how to play the acoustic guitar. He reminds me of one of my old school teacher and a neighbor also. Many thanks for bringing back so many suppressed memories. I just loves the Mexico melody.
Weed I think you're right! Don is ......79????? Wow! Thanks for posting this video Weedsan21! I've shared it with at least 25 people ! All agree.........AWESOME!
If you look up 'I can Help' by Billy Swan here on TH-cam you might find the videos where Gerry is playing lead guitar on them as Billy Swan plays the Hammond organ. I've seen these guys in person 2 times and they were great.
you're very lucky lady to be Married to Gerry McGee. and lot other peoples like us Ventures crazy we just Love The Ventures I am on away to meet The Ventures at back stage Sendai.

私は、どちらかというノーキーのファンでしたが、ジェリーも又、素晴らしいフレヤーでしたね。彼の冥福を祈ります。又、さりげなく聞こえる、ドンのサイドギターが、良いですね。
ジェリーWonderful
素晴らしい演奏
心に響きます❤

毎日聴いても聴き飽きないジェリーマジック😍
ダンキチ･･さんへ。
其れは彼の弛みない鍛練から来る、人の心を打つ熱いハートが演奏に顕れて居るからだと思います！。
私も何辺聴いても飽きません。
Another great guitarist sadly gone from us. RIP Gerry.

My life would not have been the same without the Ventures. Thank you all ever so much! God bless.
Respect and Thanks to The Ventures from Assam, India
Impresionante el sonido que logran en un concierto acústico. Siempre fantásticos.
The best instrumental group in the world for ever.No body can replace them.
Chuẩn ko cần chỉnh
Unfortunately......no one around today ! So very sad.
Awesome The Ventures are the best, It's a pleasure to hear them play. RIP Mel and Bob they will live forever in our hearts with their beautiful music..
Nokie is gone now also.. RIP
And now Don Wilson has passed also Jan. 2022. Thx for all the great music.👍

ジュリーマギーが加入してからアコースティックのバージョンを組入れたことで､新たなベンチャーズを味わえる様になった｡
観客に対するプロデュース力が増したと感じます（流石）
Played in good harmony, so soothing and relaxing music. Awesome.
나의어린시절 음악을 많이들었던시절 친구들과만나면 들었던 음악 지금은 아련히
떠오르는 그시절이 그립습니다...
アコギが演奏出来るがエレキギターを演奏出来るとは限りません。でもマギーさんは両方出来る。素晴らしいです。彼のクラシックギター音楽の演奏は聴いた事はありませんが、おそらくクラシックギター音楽の名曲も難なくと演奏出来ると思われます。それ程彼のギター演奏テクニックが素晴らしいと言う事です。✌
No one is better than the ventures god bless them
Gerry really knows how to play the acoustic guitar. He reminds me of one of my old school teacher and a neighbor also.
Many thanks for bringing back so many suppressed memories. I just loves the Mexico melody.
,the ventures will never be forgotten listen time to time very good mucician
Ventures was really big in Japan, I lived there for awhile and know how popular they were among the Japanese people.
The ventures you are the great band... your acoustic is really fantastic performance
Thank you.... for the songs
I need to listen to it from time to time because it’s so beautiful..

Just awesome. I learn to play listening to their records, early 60s.
gracias por estas deliciosas mepdias del recuerdo
Gracias pos este video, belleza de música, gracias weedsan, saludos desde El Salvador.
tema romantico. Estas en mi corazon. maravilloso. Bendiciones
Those acoustics sound gorgeous.
京都慕情が、ジェリーさんのオリジナルと知ったときは、驚きました。ジェリーさんが、ベンチャーズに入る前に、ソロで来日していたときに、往年の歌手渡辺はま子さんの、支那の夜、という曲にインスパイアを得て、京都慕情を作曲したと、生前残されていました。
Grande guitarrista, deixou um legado.....
Классная музыка давно не слышал эту мелодию 👍
Excelente interpretaciones en guitarras ejecutadas magistralmente.
こんにちは三村直己です。ベンチヤーズの演そう大変好きです。いつも楽しく聞いています。有り難う御座います♪♪♪。
Neber heard the Ventures do an acoustical set! AWESOME! I saw them at the Golden Bear in Surf City back in the '60's.........STILL AWESOME!

you're very lucky lady to be Married to Gerry McGee.

Ventures crazy we just Love The Ventures
I am on away to meet The Ventures at back stage Sendai.
They were some of my first guitar teachers . And at $2.98 for 12 lessons on vinyl what a bargain they were
You had them as teacher if I understood well ? then you where a lucky Man.
All the best, and do you still play ? BE LUCKY; IVAN DEMAREZ 1060 Brussels
That's where I learned to play 2 of their songs. Friends all thought I hammered it out on my own. Never told them about the lesson pack.
Magnifici....
どうだ ベンチャーズは 凄いだろ マイッタかｗ
素晴らしい
I agree! Love Gerry's lead style and tone! what kind of acoustic guitar is he playing here?
its made by the 'ARIA company in japan...
ノーキーさんだけでなく、ジェリーさんもプレイしていたんですね。
So cool,
珍しい映像ですね❤
Sao bình luận toàn là tiếng anh và nhật ban nhạc nổi tiếng vậy hay vậy sao ko thấy ai bình luận bằng chữ việt hết vậy ta
you need up grade. it is 2012.

Don is 79 years old still active.
アリアのギタアーはすばらしい
What is the source for this wonderful video performance?
Can someone please tell me who was playing the guitar that always had a feathered trim around his hat? I LOVED the way he played.
Nokie Edwards
muy bueno
