Here is an analysis from The Best of the Ventures (Signature Licks) As I understand it according to this book, it's the C minor (Dorian) scale. But then there are those two key modulations. http://www.scribd.com/doc/20527455/The-Ventures-Signature-Licks

Thanks Websurfer! Helped a bunch. You to Revhank. I threw in some chromatic scales when I played the song, had some fun with it. |

Don't know if this is helpful, but I learned this song by playing along with 'Slo-Mo HVO' by the Mermen, from "At The Haunted House." The way that Jim Thomas plays it nice and super slow makes it really really easy to figure out. He does it in Gm, though, but it's pretty cool. |
