Bob Bogle, lead guitarist and co-founder of the rock band The Ventures, known for 1960s instrumental hits including "Walk, Don't Run," has died on June 14 at age 75.

The Ventures moved the surf guitar sound into mainstream. Here’s a couple of interesting clips, from different phases.

RIP, Bob

RIP, indeed. What a guy.

Glad I saw this post, odysseusm, thank you.

The riff from Wipeout was the very first thing I learned to play on guitar when I was a kid. I had never seen this TV clip - just great.

Bummer. I remember the Ventures very well. Always sad to hear of someones passing that you have memories associated with.
