I am a guitarist and until I found daffy (My name is Doug too.) I thought I was Chet's biggest fan. Thanks brother for all the uploads. I missed my one and only chance to see Chet and I'll regret it the rest of my days. My only consolation is that I did it for my son.
Gorgeous! Who else could carry off a (largely) solo instrumental of that song? I was fortunate to see Chet live, he was one of a kind. There are other excellent guitarists - Mark Knopfler, Tommy Emmanuel, et al, and they may equal Chet, but will never surpass him for taste, technique, and the ability to cover all musical bases. I certainly do miss him.

@ttdwa4565 You're welcome! Glad you are enjoying my channel. I saw Chet in 1989. Even got to shake the hand that made the music!

I looked at the like/dislike bar and was relieved to see there were no "dislikes"

first time I ever heard this song, and it's officially my new Chet Atkins favorite, so beautiful it takes my breath away in spots!

Thanks for posting.
I agree, only Chet could do that with such clarity.
