Here is my cover of The Ventures' version of Guitar Boogie Shuffle. This tune was originated by Arthur Smith and has been covered by many, incuding The Virtues.

If I ever end up playing in front of anyone, I just found the attention getting 1st song!! Looks like a real exercise in finger dexterity…Thanks Tom!! Duane 🇨🇦

[@davidwhitehurst5247]

Can just picture the ghost of Nokie Edwards smiling down on this. Great version

[@SupraphonicsSurfCombo]

Fret hand work out for sure!

[@sgd5k292]

Hi Tom, Perfect timing! Just finished up Secret Agent Man and won't be long when I can play it live. I have always wanted to learn a REAL Boogie Woogie to take the place of what I have been playing for a long time...and this is it! Excellent as always! My inventory of Tom Conlon's covers that I can now play are growing in my library. Thanks, you are the BEST!

[@tomference4618]

I am humbled each time I listen to your videos,.your a great player!

[@ingemarnilsson5498]

Very difficult to learn, but i won’t give up. Really good and difficult finger exercising. Thank you Tom.

[@erwinbatolina9887]

Thanks for uploading this lesson, it’s one of my favorite songs by the Ventures and I love playing this including Bulldog. Now I’ll see if I am playing it right.

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

A neat set of techniques, perfectly executed in a 12-bar format!

[@williamwarlick3497]

Tom I actually was blessed to see Arthur Smith play Guitar Boogie at a local concert he had here in Lincolnton NC. Probably late 1990s. I'm 64, and grew up watching Arthur Smith's TV variety show and on the radio I listened to him often. After the small venue concert I attended I approached the stage to shake his hand Hopefully. Didn't happen. He Being an older fellow stated he was very tired and had to drive home and brushed me and others off. He lived about an hour away. That was ok because we all loved him and still do.

[@tomcon21]

Oh that’s a great story. Must’ve been great seeing him play.

[@williamwarlick3497]

@@tomcon21 Lifetime thrill Tom, Arthur Smith was fantastic.

[@williamwarlick3497]

@@tomcon21 Forgot to mention Arthur " Guitar Boogie " Smith was playing a Fender Antigua Starcaster semi hollow body when I saw him play. Guitar Boogie. Fabulous Guitar I don't see much of these days.

[@tomference4618]

Tom,. I could listen to this rendition of guitar boogie all day. I am trying to learn it..thanks so much.

[@law13ie29]

Fantastic cover ! What playing, what a sound ! Anytime I pick my guitar up I always play some form of 'Guitar Boogie' so many versions out there. I have a soft spot for the Bert Weedon version some licks in this sound similar

[@franklinrwful]

Boy I wish I could play like that🌟

[@tracybrusman9538]

You're really good! Love your talent!🎶

[@videogeekin]

“Such a professional performance as always Tom. I assume Nokie played on this… can definitely hear the Country/Rockabilly( ‘Nokie-Billy’)guitar influence.”

[@ingemarnilsson5498]

Acually I’ve learned to play it. It took time, but now I’m able to do it. The fingers works automatically now. From the start I failed every time I exercised it and was close to give up, but one day suddenly the brain accepted to play every bar without any big failer. I’m still surprised I don’t miss any notes even if I feel more confidence to play it. You’re a great inspiration. The difficulties is the speed, but one day that will be perfect too. I’m very close to manage it. Good teaching Tom.

[@sgd5k292]

Good for you! It took me quite a while to learn this song too! And even if I don't play it for a time (mostly to learn some other of Tom's songs) I find I still play it reasonably well. It is a lot of fun to play! Have you learned any of his other covers?

[@ingemarnilsson5498]

@@sgd5k292yes I can play a few more, but those songs are not easy to learn. I feel like a new-beginner, but won’t give up.

[@ingemarnilsson5498]

Yes some more. Will not stop now.

[@robsterboy5612]

Great job, Tom. Please do Black Sand Beach, the Ventures covered it and it is a great surf tune that I know you will nail! Have a great rest of your summer!

Hey Michael: Duane Allman could play anything…died way too young 🥲🎸

[@sgd5k292]

Hi Tom, just checking to see when the backing track for this might be ready. I can play much of it at speed, and have memorized other parts but still fall apart with those parts while playing along with video. No rush though, just having fun with it! I know this is a lot of work for you and I really appreciate all that goes into your videos and backing tracks!

[@john.john.johnny]

As catchy as that was and as well as you performed it, it didn't seem so easy to memorize so I'm even more impressed than usual with you. But that's just me maybe it's a weird night loll

[@wayneosmand7652]

Love it! Thank you

[@user-yx9gv4xv4x]

Nice video again Tom, thank you. Have you ever explored finnish instrumental music from 50’s and 60’s? Emma, Manchurian beat from The Sounds for example. I think thouse would fit to your style perfectly.

I was wondering if you'll ever do any Pet Sounds stuff? It has been my dream to play the instrumental track 'Pet Sounds' (shouldn't be too hard, but as a college student I haven't had the time to figure it out yet), but I would love anything from the album, really. I've already learned That's Not Me and I just love listening to my own version, haha. Another Beach Boys favorite that I'd love to learn is Shut Down Vol. 2 (another instrumental that shouldn't be too hard; I've already figured out the first part). I just wanted to put this out there, no pressure; I content myself immensely with the songs you've covered already :^).
