Walk, Don't Run (instrumental)

Common card · No. 481146

"Walk, Don't Run" is an instrumental composition written and originally recorded by jazz guitarist Johnny Smith in 1954, which achieved worldwide fame with The Ventures adapted version in 1960. Earlier an adapted version was recorded by Chet Atkins in 1956, and was a track on his LP Hi-Fi In Focus. This arrangement was the inspiration for the version by the Ventures in 1960 (though the Ventures' arrangement is recognizably different from Atkins' finger-picked style) and achieved world-wide recognition, being regarded by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.
