Happy Again (Collings 01ASB) - cover by Tonedr

[gfilip]

Great playing Dale, thanks for posting. Heard this on one of Tommy's concerts and it is next on my list and will be using this video and tommy's to learn the song myself soon as you seem to have got it pretty nice and tidy!

[tonedr]

i think you will love working it up and playing it! Just a great Chet cover and oddly to me it plays like it sounds - kind of 'bouncy' and just moves along. Chet is greatly missed but we can sure keep his music alive! All the best with your playing, your friend,

I love this. I learned it off a Chet video where he says that the grim reaper took a swing at him and he ducked. When he got better he wrote this song. Such a tasteful man and you capture it just right.

[tonedr]

great story isn't it - boy don't we pickers miss him! and as you said a tasteful and humble example for us all. Hope all good sir,

dale

[tonedr]

hello sir! sure appreciate you watching and hoping this finds you well and i should add i'm envious of your Nashville location! Absolutely one of my favorite towns - some many guitars and so little time!

take care,

dale

The man invented fingerplucking! or so it seems.. thanx to him we all play patterns he recorded first...don't you think?

Nice and clean Dale. Very enjoyable.

[tonedr]

i can't think of many guitarist more influential in the past half a century than Mr. Atkins. A first class picker and person.

Hope you are doing great my friend - thanks for giving this a look!

[jrsn2cars]

Chet had a way of making it sound like more than one guitar was playing. It takes phenomenal skills to do that. You, sir, have those skills also. Great playing Dale!

John

[tonedr]

thanks John, appreciate your kind post!  Thanks also for watching - hope all is good sir,

dale

[elevn7]

Beautifully done Dale!

It's hard not to be happy when you hear this tune.

How did you come about learning this one Dale ?

[tonedr]

A dear friend shared this tune with me - we played it together when we got together. Sadly he was called home last year but I can still hear him pick! Hope he & Chet are pickin together!!

Your friend,

dale

[elevn7]

Thanks Dale,

sorry to hear that.

I'm listening to it again one last time before calling it a night. Maybe I'll have a happy dream or two. ;)

[staffansvahn]

once again amazing 5 stars

[tonedr]

hello friend, sure appreciate you watching and i hope all is good!

[whitato1]

Chet was the reason I got into guitar but never learned anything since I refused, then, to learn finger picking. You got your David Gilmour face going as you did this so I assume this was not a cake walk to do. Hope you do a lesson on this one!

[tonedr]

lol - i wish i had Gilmour fingers!!! Sure appreciate you watching - all the best,

dale

[classicrock1956]

Dale, Great job!!!

You have mastered Chet !!!

Not easy to do, keep it up!!!

[tonedr]

Chet was the master wasn't he! Sure appreciate you giving this a listen - hope all is good my friend!

dale

[tonedr]

that is great....the story i've heard is that Chet wrote this shortly after recovering from a season of cancer. You can just feel it can't you - wow do all of us pickers miss him! Hope you are very well - thanks for your friendship,

dale

[loveguitars]
