I may not be worthy of carrying Chet's guitar cases, but that's the beauty of music; you can enjoy it tremendously, no matter what level you are. Chet is one of the greats, and I will always find pleasure and beauty in his work.
My first guitar was a Harmony acoustic, like so many kids, I guess. $40 at Volkwein's Music in downtown Pittsburgh. Took a few lessons from an older kid in the neighborhood, also llike so many kids, I guess. Felt too stiff to make any kind of music with, and so it was resigned to the closet, again, also like so many kids, I guess. It wasn't until I bought a Gibson Les Paul Custom (that beautiful Tobacco Sunburst finish) and a Fender Champ amplifier that I began to have some fun, and still am.
Incredible and underrated genius of guitar. There is not a genre of music that Chet could not or did not master. We miss you, Chet!! You left way too soon, man!
I was contemplating on buying a guitar, to expensive now a days, after hearing Chet Atkins played here on you tube finally decided to get one Thanks daffydoug for all your works, you make me happy !
@wrmconstu I got my first guitar at about 12 years old after hearing Chet play on an old album my mom and dad had bought. Here it is years later, and I'm STILL picking the thing, trying to imitate Chet!
The two halfs of his brain must of had an extraordinary amount of connecting gangula...like Eienstien's...using all of it in one concentrated focus...along with a soul of deep passion.....
Being 19 alot of older people wouldn't expect me (especially in this day in time) for me to believe that Chet is the absolute greatest player of all time. But I am so thankful to have been introduced to Chet Atkins at such a young age. My grandfather raised me on him and frankly I am so happy not to be part of the generation X mind set of good=fast and loud. The two greatest musical artists ever known The Beatles and Chet Atkins. There will never be any like them. Period.

i used to work with Chet's cousin many years ago on construction projects, he also played the guitar, he was no Chet but he was damn good...must be something in the gene pool
Chet dose look like George W. in this picture, god help us!
Daffydoug, I guess if I had read the comments a little further down, I would have seen where it came from. I am sorry for taking up your time. Please excuse me. Thanks again for your hard work that provides such amazing pleasure for all of us fans of Mr. Atkins. In today's world this gives peace to one's soul. Best regards.
Thank you Daffydoug for this. He is the all time greatest. What is the name of the album or whatever is this from if I may ask? I have got to get it. It is superb. All of his work is of course, but this is my fav. Beatles song, but Mr. Atkins and the harmony just is superb. Only answer if you have time. If not, I will try to do some research on my own. Thank you for your hard work in posting these for all of us. I appreciate it so very much.
@daffydoug : I went to your Channel and you stated that you are dismanteling the channel. I saw the reason. Are you also not going to post the videos, etc. as well any more? If so, we won't be able to converse with you about the "man", which is part of the joy regarding the music....What then? Will you still be posting at all? AZSun1994.
@jdeal64 - Chet just brings magic to the music! I've created 450 playlists so you can listen for up to 2 hours to the beautiful music of great artists like Chet.
Thanks to folks like daffydoug, you can hear my 'cyberalbums' for over 325 artists and each of the last 110 years - listen like you've stepped back in time!
hey lip333 yes it is THAT good. and yes the hair really stood up on the back of my neck. and even tho its been over 30 years since i heard this it still sounds just as good. i am not kissing ass but i know one you can kiss anytime you like.
GONE But NOT FORGOTTEN I started playing at the age of 15 and was aways in awe of CHET and still am.

Also check out Lenny Breau's cover of this tune. He studied under Chet for a bit and does a fantastic arrangement of it
