Chet Atkins "Jam Man"

[Theonegamefreak]

Jammin'

[boes531]

this is the kind of catchy music i wish they played on the radio today

[daffydoug]

@boes531 I called a radio station once and asked them to play a few Chet tunes between other songs, but they acted like I was from mars.

[TheAltureus]

I don't know why but this song reminds me of a slower Star Wars cantina song.

[flappybird11]

Is there a bass line for this?

I think I here one, but I can't find any on the internet, or figure it out to make it sound right.

[tannerr96]

@flappybird11 his the alternating thumbpicking that chet is doing. it's all guitar

[flappybird11]

@tannerr96 So I cant play it on my bass?

[tannerr96]

@flappybird11 you can but it's just the matter of figuring it out. he's playing an Am to G and then C to G for the most part. his thumb is constantly playing the bass notes though and that's what you're hearing

[flappybird11]

@tannerr96 Thanks

Wish me luck :p

[sergioakaliltroll20s]

is there any video of him playing this song live????

[thisisvalkyrie]

thank you, esurance; thank you, google; and thank you, chet atkins!

[madeit101]

Like if the esurance commercial brought you here.

[NoPawn]

@madeit101 If they are going to use good songs in commercials, I am glad they are at least pulling some obscure gems out that I never heard before. I knew this riff was too good to just be written for esurance!

[daffydoug]

@NoPawn  Seems like I heard it on TV a few days ago, but I can't remember the name of the commercial!

[NoPawn]

@daffydoug It was an esurance commercial. Got me checking out a whole bunch of Atkins videos once I found out it was him!

[streetrida989]

@daffydoug Esurance!

[Livedamu13]

Having a few drinks hearing this man play his heart out on the stings. . . It's a good evening.

[helegaran]

Chet Atkins is amazing. He is to blame for having influenced so many great guitarists, one of them being Tommy Emmanuel.

[variezn34gm]

AOK

[CavenEdwards]

wow chet atkins is awesome. one of the best to ever rest palm against the back of a fret board.

[daffydoug]

@CavenEdwards Check out some of his other tunes I posted! Especially the ones with Les Paul.

[TheMrAliphone]

Amazon has the paperback book for this album, "Almost Alone" for around £12.

[daffydoug]

@TheMrAliphone I know. I bought it!

[kosjen2013]
