I have the booklet...got it from Magpie. It has "guitarphonics," an
archaic proto-tablature that is next to useless. It was meant to teach
kids to play by ear. It's like reading some ancient and unfathomable
mathematic language. An example: Walk Don't Run, intro phrase: 1 2 3 4
5 6 1 7 8 2 9 (see fret diagram for note locations). Aarrgh!
A guy named Kevin Gardner tabbed the songs using the booklet, and that
makes it much easier. He even tells you when the "Play Guitar" version
of a song differs from another recording by The Ventures!
You might search for Kevin Gardner's Ventures web site for the tabs
and skip the book. Or, I could sell you mine...!!! (Forget everything
I just said, a monkey could play guitar using this book!)
