Chet atkins "Show Me the Way to go Home"

[Cutsnakee]

imo the greatest off all time

[kitemanmusic]

This must be the only Chet recording with a wrong note( ok, it was deliberate!) The way he makes the guitar sound tipsy, is the bend down the notes with the Bigsby vibrato arm. He obviously slows down his playing, as well. In the 1960s I used to buy his albums which were imported. I still have a large collection, and I love them all. By the way, has anyone heard " I Still Write Your Name In The Snow" What a surprise!

[daffydoug]

@kitemanmusic I posted "Still Write Your name in the Snow" Do a search and I'll bet it will turn up.

This tune is amazing. The way Chet makes the guitar sound tipsy is pure genius! He even does little "hiccups"

This is pure "Mr Guitar" all the way.

awsome....thanks for the post

[Jacornonthecob]

Did he start tuning around 10 seconds in?

[daffydoug]

@Jacornonthecob I don't know how he did it, but he was trying to make the guitar sound a little "tipsy." The little clicky sounds were supposed to represent "hiccups"

[MissWWE20]

I remember Chet's recording well and

He was so darn good. Used to be great to hear him on Prarie Home Companion in the 1980s.
