I am not a fingerstyle picker but I was able to interpret alot of what Chet done with my single string picking style and I have many hours of woodshedding with Chet's CD's. I have a digital CD player that I can run thru my guitar amp and pick along.
You have that completely right about visually seeing that old coal burning training heading down the track. I love jamming to this one on one of Chet's CD's. It is a simple song with a great deal of feeling within it. Changing keyes truly makes an interesting listening done exceptionally well by Chet. Man, we sure miss this incredible man and his guitar. We are truly fortunate he came by in our lifetime to hear a true genius. Chet R.I.P. we love you....
@WillyJay3461 Yeah! Ain't it great? A Chet masterpiece! What other guitarist in history had the ability to take a guitar and paint a picture of that old train rumbling down the tracks? Only Chet! This is one Chet song that I have probably listened to a million times and I never get tired of it.
daffydoug is right chet was as good as anybody some people won`t admit it `cause he1s country and if you don`t like country those people won`t give a person credit fo their talents
You're not wrong, Fawksian21. All silliness and self-glamourising. Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins.Eddy Arnold and so many others; still good after all these years.
Chet will always be KING of the GUITAR in my opinion...but there are a lot of pickers out there that sound like him. Check out Doyle Dykes or Roy Bookbinder.....
I can see it coming 'round the bend!

@DMT0605 He paints a sound picture with his guitar, doesn't he? You can close your eyes and SEE that train!
That's why they call him Mr Guitar!

@Labaron26 Like Tom Petty said, today's Country music is not real County. Now it's just a "bad Rock band with a fiddle." haha

This was always one of my Chet favorites..you can picture the old train chugging down the tracks!
I live near Wabash, and I have seen the old Wabash Cannonball, man it is an awesome sight! Ol' black smoke pouring out by the ton....

Great song. Love to hear that old-time country music. So much more enjoyable than what gets called "country" today.
