I'm probably going to get the spelling wrong, but I'm 99% sure that instrument is a DelVeccio. It's a resonator type guitar, & someone on here might have more history on it. He used it a lot on his '60's recordings. I know Earl Klugh caught onto those & has a custom built version of it or did have on some of his work as well.
One of Chet's albums I think is called "My Favorite Guitars", & he did a cut of "Josephine" with his DelVeccio. Hot.
I took friends and family x-mass driving. I quietly played this first, then all Chets. What a wounderful change in attitude. It was the best in years, thanks daffydoug-qball
One more example of the many times he did it, taking a popular tune that many have recorded, but making it sound unique and very special. No wonder he was called "The Master".
This song really is warm and delicate, no less so with Chet playing it. The man could make almost any tune live a new life that was better, and he did this one royally!!! Thanks for posting.
Andres Segovia , Carlos Montoya , Chet Atkins , and not neccesarily in that order, the worlds Grand Master guitarists !!A huge thank you to all of them !!!
