For this year’s Christmas Special I’m taking a look at the twang-tastic Sleigh Ride by The Ventures.

Here’s my take on the great Joe 90 theme written by Barry Gray for the 60s TV series. (Hope all this isn’t too baffling for non-Brits: look here for more info on Joe 90, or check out a few episodes on YouTube.) Irrespective of whether you’re familiar with the TV show, this is simply a great piece of twangy, psychedelic 60s music, and lots of fun to play. I’ve written the music out below. The first guitar part is as close as I can get to what’s happening on the original recording, and the second part is made up of single note basslines along with some barre chord rhythm guitar.
