February Birthdays 
Howdy Folks from a "Cherry-Boy"
First I'd like to say that this site is simply awesome. They say that somewhere on the web one can find like-minded people and I feel like I've struck paydirt with SG101
I've been playing bass for about three months and one of the first songs I learned was "Walk Don't Run." never knew what it was called, but recognized it immediately - I was born in 1960, and my subconscious must have remembered hearing it while growing up in the 60's, or listening to WCBS FM in NYC. So while I'm new to playing, I'm not new to the sound that I've come to love over all these many years...be it watching the "beach flicks" back in the day, to being reintroduced via "Pulp Fiction", or, by going to college in Daytona, living on the beach in Perdido Key, being a Navy guy...basically loving the "SURF!"
Anyway, enough of my intro, here's my dilema. I've managed to hook two guitarists and a drummer to "La Cosa Nostra" and we've started playing (practicing) together for the last month. I purchased 4 copies of the Hal Leonard "The Ventures" guitar licks for us and we've made good progress on "WDR" and "Pipeline." Next on the menu is Perfidia and Telstar...good for them, tough on me.
I've been combing the web, and trying to deconstruct hand positions from YouTube vid's as well as trying to extrapolate the chords provided for the guitar parts. I'm just running tinto a brick wall...don't have enough skillz yet to get it to sound "right."
So, very long story short, this newbie needs a hand. If anyone can offer assistance, the tabs, or some direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and it's great being part of this community!
Cheers!
