Chet Atkins Mister Sandman

[tunefisher123]

Nicely done Bud!

[fivestander]

very nice. Chet would be proud.

[PushKoast]

help a guy out and send some tabs, good buddy??

[HTMHicks]

I LOVE your tone? how do you get it?

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

@HTMHicks Get a Gretsch. The compression is possibly caused by the cheap camera mic... or he is plugged into a comp.

[Bflatest]

awesome I am learning this myself right now ehehe. But Chet played the intro with holding all the notes you seem to be holding 3 not 4 just noticed it no big deal but Chets way has more sustaining beauty :)

[montev4]

is that a pack of cigarettes if yes what kind

[HTMHicks]

@montev4 Not my video, but they look like Mavericks?

[w3i4l5s6o7n]

I love all these armchair critics who probably couldn't play a CD without a manual. I wish I could play that well.

[Kickerinthehead]

Smoking's bad for you...

[m91man]

that is increadible playing

[evadpierce]

nice bass work but next time try to play the full thing and not with a backing track...

[bjl257]

Great playing BUT your sound needs sorting . Your action as too low , at 44 secs ,just as you start your key change to D your strings cant`t breath , theyre all choked up .That combined with the compression gives a really thin tone Also Chet never used that much Treble . Turn it down AND try it on the Neck P U only . I`m going to check out your other postings , you`re clearly a good player .

[johnal1913]

THis isa good vid and I think Im gonna learn a lot from it. Thanks for posting.

[odinmp5]

awesome...

you rock!

[Dumas175]

Nice country gent! But what kind of amp are you using?

[gweaterman]

wow dude thanks ive been wondering how to play this song for years now thanks to you i finally know

[MrCarlHaynes]

Was the player a male or female? Their face was not shown. Great playing. But I would like to see who this is...

[shmallowlol]

This song is awesome but you are even more awesomer

[tomek1995v8]

Holy shit ! nice :)

[Sgtbeatles13]

Is that a gretsch?

[2Touchstone]

What kind of trousers are you wearing there?

[Dethsquirrel]

i second the tab movement, great playing and really good tone

[mellow3311]

Nice playing. . .

I must be older than I think. . Never done the "tab" thing. just listen and learn. I actually used your video to help me learn this song. I hope you take the time to listen to my version, and reply with a comment.

Thanks

Mervin

[biggfingger5]

very nice

[THEwhiteRHIN0]

awsome

[jhagley]

awesome man!

[redfenderguy]

mate that was awesome but weres the rest??

[ffheim]

eh, pretty good... easy as hell song... but nice nonetheless

[pickingandgrinning]

6 people must have sneezed when they were trying to push the like button.....Great job dude!!!

[phillali]

nice tight playing buddy

[LarsFalgren]

sweet guitar, gimme xD

[Yugoslaviarock]

You can find the tab on this site: ultimate guitar tabs.

[oleksiypilyugin]

sexy guitar

[djangledoobledangus]

Great playing. Am curious why I always see people asking for tabs on these videos as though they can not search for and find them themselves.

[rx66jp]

@djangledoobledangus

I agree

[musicluvu]

@djangledoobledangus because some tabs like these are hard to find n he plays it good so people want him to teach them how to play it

[JohnnyReb2009]

@musicluvu

You're absolutely right. But to judge from his answer to djangledoobledangus the poster of this video seems to be an arrogant jackass anyway.

[djangledoobledangus]

@JohnnyReb2009 look at where his fingers are on the guitar, listen, and slowly play along. repeat the same part over and over if you have to, is no pressure. how do you jam with other people? you ask them to tab it for you???

[synesthesia67]

@djangledoobledangus yup..sometimes ya gotta just figger it out ...no tabs...punks...

[tzoures]

@djangledoobledangus

That's because there are hundreds of sites with tabs (lots of them are wrong) and many times you end up frustrated -> abandoning a nice song.

+ a video with the exact tab is really helpful!

[djangledoobledangus]

@tzoures look at where his fingers are on the guitar, listen, and slowly play along. repeat the same part over and over if you have to, is no pressure. how do you jam with other people? you ask them to tab it for you???

[skaterkid061095]

@djangledoobledangus

there arent any...

[antobeat]

@djangledoobledangus

I'll answer: because sometimes tabs are not available unless you pay for them, so people in order to get them ask the player in the video to send the files by mail. At least this is what i did.

[BlindSlshr]

@djangledoobledangus maybe they want to learn how that person did it

[inefficient]

@djangledoobledangus I don't understand why people need tabs when he's sitting directly in front of the camera and you can see every note he plays, haha.

[SeGaSaTuRn1994]

@djangledoobledangus ultimate guitar tabs on there

[gidarrnmatze]

Holy Squeeze. Nice Job!

[killbot9]

[slidefnrn]

残念そう短い

[MAMM0TH1]

very nice. can you post a good tab for that song?

[GuitarCoachMGP]

Chet Atkins in Three Dimensions vol. #2

published by Mel Bay. The definitive transcription of this tune

[36hunters]

Yea really good but way to much Compression

[bigmrclean]

WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY too much...Yikes! it's distorting the camera.. He's good though...easy on the ole' knobs there kido!

[stratkiller86]

@36hunters Agreed, try some kickback echo with slightly less bottom end. Top notch finger work tho, my fingers envy you lol

[montev4]

@36hunters your right it souns to rounding

[jchrisdk]

Great I loved it.

I wish I could have played like that when I was what... 18-20?

One thing: listen to vikingmerijn... He tells the truth! (easy on the compression please.)

[Kurama024]

pro

[vikingmerijn]

Very good... but easy on the compression. You're smothering the whole recording...

[frizzguitar]

great!

[ZeBigStrat]

How long have you been learning this? It's very good!

[diabinhoUSA]

nice thumb work. you should post the rest of it

[BobGuacamole]

Nice!!!

[squirrelnutcased]

great job on the song

but i dont like the tone your gettin out of that gretsch. i dig the mellow tube sound. did you have it running through some sort of digital amplifier? to each his own i guess

[tobykuhnert1]

i agree it needs to be richer but apart from that absolutely brilliant note perfect! :D

[AccordionManiac]

Wow!! Well done

[TheAcousticMetal]

wow so good...what kind of guitar is it?

[tobykuhnert1]

its a Gretsch :D

[TheAcousticMetal]

thx!

[freezazoid]

what kind of guitar.... hahah! JK man.

but you should know that shit if you're into guitars even a little bit. Gretsch Country Gentleman. Same guitar G. Harrison had in the early beatles.

[Veitl2008]

Respect

[IFreakingEatPeople]

wow thats a really clear sound. nice dude

[jimvo]

nice job dude.

[frethouse]

Thanks! You have inspired me to learn this tune now!

[omkaratube]

bravo

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Nice try - and God bless you for caring enough to attempt this piece by the undisputed king - but your melody notes are a bit stiff and all quarter notes. it takes years to master this....keep practicing and keep Chet's memory alive.

[dragknuckle]

I usually hate when I click on a link and find its a cover, but that was pretty smooth.

[TrueVideo]

RIP Mr. Guitar!!!

[BreakingGlass77]

cool

[Roxey804]

amazing!!!

[likeriver]

where can I get tabs for this

[zarchy55]

Terrific! The best I've found so far.

[PolskaCinekkk]

wow very nice ...

[Record208]

You played very well.If you like Chet , visit my channel

[tony9L9L]

Magical mate, absolutely magical.

[yipmicha]

where did you get the tabs for this?

I've found tabs in another position

awesome playing!

[tucumalo]

I'ld like to get them.. where cuould i find it? thanks

[yipmicha]

go to ultimate guitar its pretty accurate

[tucumalo]

Thanks a lot!

[glockdoc]

I don't think you'll find the tabs for this version anywhere for free. And don't torture yourself with some of the ridiculous chord changes in the Guitar Pro versions. I have Hal Leonard's "The Best of Chet Atkins" by Chad Johnson in front of me and, from what I can tell, it has the music and tabs for this version.

[Doginthefog]

Really Really thank you.. you teached me this song!!!! And because of this video, i want to learn bass fingerpicking style..:) thanks once again

[BobMillahhh]

i believe "you taught me this song" is what you were looking for

[krujjer]

Excellent!

[soupster875]

is that the 1962 country gentlemen?

or the 1959?

[12345Carlos]

verygood.

[migalsl]

thanks fella, that´s just what I was lookin´ for

[lilredroostie]

Nice1 :)

[ryanmichaelrambo]

really cool bro. I'd like to learn this someday.

[ThePechanator]

You got my dream guitar, the Country Gentleman. It sounds great, man.

[Pappahobo]

Isn't it the one George Harrison plays in 1963?

[Scugs79]

I adore this guitar.

Nice playing, man.

[brostomper]

pretty good dude why did you cut the rest out?

[CaliKid74]

awesome! nice and smooth, just like chet. check out some of my vids.

[BluegrassForte]

Great job! 5*

Gretsch'n

[maurieer]

Right on.

5/5

[GuitarMaxi]

[thespazatrons]
