The Ventures are the reason I started playing guitar back in 1962. Rest in Peace, Bob. You were my first guitar hero.

The Ventures - "The Band that Launched a Thousand Bands".

Since 1958, The Ventures have had an enduring impact on the development of music worldwide, having sold over 100 million records, and are to date the best-selling instrumental band of all time. In 2008, the Ventures were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Their music has been cited by many famed guitarists as an influence; indeed, their virtuosity, experimentation with guitar effects, and unique sound laid the groundwork for innumerable groups, earning them the moniker "The Band that Launched a Thousand Bands". They have also contributed to the surf music genre, though they are not, as popularly perceived, strictly a surf band. They still tour regularly to this day.
