Yankee Doodle Dixie

[511Mrpaul]

Very cool, I heard Chet Atkins the first two weeks I was playing, and I am still trying to beat him, Fat chance. You do this very well and yes, girls can play guitar. Thanks Paul

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@511Mrpaul Yes they can! :-)

[Guitarman504]

I really enjoy your playing Stephanie, is there any chance you would consider moving to Dayton Ohio so I could come and hear you live? ......just saying

:-)

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@Guitarman504 Ha! Thanks for the compliment. I would consider playing there! Just let me know some good places. :-)

[Airomist]

Makes me nervous when women can play better than me =P

But this is truly spectacular, thumbs up doesn't do it enough justice =)

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@Airomist Hmmm...but no nerves if it's men? :-)

[HillbillyKat88]

You do a very great job here. And as someone said below, changing things around is what makes music unique and iconic. 10/10 for great playing and effort love! Thank you!

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@HillbillyKat88 Thanks for the 10/10! :-)

[Hikikomori013]

Bravo!

I think Chet Atkins would be pleased to know you were changing things around. I picked up his book on getting started on guitar, and he was pretty big on looking for variations when you play a piece.

[dion5100]

Great Pickinng!



[cvvcvvcvv]

Here we are : very plesant to hear in memories of Chet and Marcel Dadi who played this song in 1975 at Olympia, Paris. Lovely Contribution and interpretation. Thanks for playing so well !

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@cvvcvvcvv Chet & Marcel were 2 icons! Thanks for the compliment. :-)

[fatmanchronicals]

[billgotbass]

Wow!! Very nice! That is SO hard to do, I've tried!

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@billgotbass Yeah...it messes with your brain. But keep trying! You can do it! Thanks for listening. :-)

[chickatawbutt]

Awesome. Great job.  I expected Tommy Emmanuel.

[JeffW77]

Wow--that was terrific. Thank you.

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@JeffW77 Thanks, Jeff!

[Dugrok]

You interpreted this very well! The pure fun you're having playing it comes out in the music!

Nice to see :)

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@Dugrok Thanks! It is fun. :-)

[ddanze]

Cool-O-Matic! Was that a Chet Atkins arrangement? Or Guy Van Duser?

Do you know if there's music for it in cyberspace or elsewhere? Thanks...!

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@ddanze Thanks! Nope...it's my arrangement. Right now the only place you can find the music to it is in my head. :-)

[accousticdecay]

You must be able to use both sides of your brain at the same time.

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@accousticdecay I thinks so. A teacher told me that years ago.

[UsafRich08]

Great Combo!

[duclaude]

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@krypto87 Thanks!

[meangene1000]

An excellent version of one of my favorite Chet tunes. Great job!

[dlipkin]

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@dlipkin Thanks, Derek!

[Killinemdead1]

[burnside994]

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@pappymcdamnit Thanks for listening!

[st91bp7t]

wow~~ very nice

[elvarwinston]

Really nice i love it,i have recently been trying too play guitar finger picking style but its really hard for me since i always play with a pick..  but any way keep it it up !

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@elvarwinston Thanks! When you learn to use your fingers instead of a pick, you will have 5 built-in picks at your disposal. :-)

[CluvVenny]

That was awesome guitar pickin', you're just as good as Tommy Emmanuel & Chet Atkins!

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@CluvVenny Thanks for watching!

[Luckyprato]

Bravo from France !!!!

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@Luckyprato Thanks! J'aime la France!

[jagdpanther1944]

now i don't know who to cheer for...the north or the south:) love it, thank you:)

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@jagdpanther1944 Cheer for the south. ;-)

[pappymcdamnit]

@jagdpanther1944 Actually, The song Yankee Doodle is a derogatory statement about the northerners

[gregg441]

you have the forehead of a klingon

[wcroyle]

Very nice!

[olddvr]

Wow!! I was searching for Chet's version. Found it, Tommy Emmanuel's and yours. I LOVE your version! You look like you're having so much fun! Beautiful music and a beautiful smile!

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@olddvr Thanks for listening! Tommy's my favorite, btw. ;-)

[Stephanie1Jackson]

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@norm58 Thanks, Norm!

[adr1701]

I enjoyed it very much; thanks Steph!

[Godguitarsandlogos]

Better arrangement than the original as far as the fullness of both songs and switching registers with the melodies. Great technique and execution as well. I have not seen a better, cleaner version Sister. Great guitar playing!! Inspirational.

Keep up the good pickin!!!!

Paul

David Simmons

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@CvgGuitarPlayer Thanks David! :-)

[MrJbaker7]

Hi Stephanie,

I remember when I tabbed it for my website, I'd rate about the same as you on the difficulty scale: about a 5 out of 10...Jack B.

[MrJbaker7]

Stephanie,

I love how you changed the parts around...Jack Baker NYC

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@gtrman1915 Thanks, Robert!

[MrJbaker7]

Neat arrangement Stephanie...Jack Baker NYC

[doliofa]

wow , great , what do you think your difficulty scale was on this one, 1 to 10 ?

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@doliofa Hey! I was surprised that the first section was fairly low on the difficulty scale...maybe a 4. But when I reversed the tunes, putting "Yankee Doodle" in the treble and "Dixie" in the bass, that's when it got hard. I had to practice it over & over to get it clean...maybe a 7? Glad you liked it! :-)

[rbbambino]

I'm with Pa on this Stephanie.. I'm hoping to see you at CAAS. Great arrangement of a Chet standard.. Difficult too.

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@rbbambino I can't wait til CAAS! See you there.

[PaCobble]

Absolutely amazing!. Love your arrangement. Looking foward to seing you at CAAS. Jim

[Stephanie1Jackson]

@PaCobble Thanks! I'll be there in July. Are your son & granddaughter coming?

[PaCobble]

@Stephanie1Jackson Stephanie, at the present time, they are definitely planning on attending. Of course, that depends on work situation.

[PaCobble]

Absolutely amazing!. Love your arrangement. Looking foward to seing you at CAAS. Jim
