Hi! Have you ever tried intellectus 424 diet (just google it)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend lost crazy amounts of weight with it.
I have no doubt its CA. chet loved music and loved all songs and even those written by others. His whole career he covered the music of others from every decade and genre ...ever heard of mister sandman[ a cover ]...HELLO!!!!
@bLAStSuCaRTa It irks me no end when people try to stand there and tell me my postings are not Chet, when I pulled them directly off Chet's records. Geeesh!!
man, I've been listening to Chet's records for dang near 45 years, and here comes this dude out of nowhere telling me I don't know a Chet cover when I hear one. Geeesh. Give me a break.
@torkildsteen This most definitely Chet Atkins. If you had ever listened to any of Chet's music you could tell it is indeed him. Clapton can't touch this on his best day or in his wildest dream.
What a cool arrangement. The man's mind was wide open, musically speaking. I suppose these days it would be easy to manipulate and edit an acoustic guitar using software and produce something that sounds similar to this. But only Chet could perform it live. Every time you see him play he makes it look so effortless...
you know what bothers me? It's that the people who have committed the biggest atrocities in history will most likely be rememberd for centuries but great musicians are easily forgotten.
@daffydoug Much respect for doing so, and i have to add anyone who has listened to Mr. Guitar surely knows it's impossible to forget such a man and his music.
In response to the MIDI music post, Chet himself said that when he switched labels he tried to switch styles to be more marketable. I've been a Chet fan since 1962 (4 years old!), and I didn't like that period that much myself. Chet shoulda played Chet, but he did so many different things, look at Chet picks on the Beatles!
I know both artist's work. chet is a man for all seasons musically he has had a go at much, where as merle is for me blues based, and more raw too, right to the core. I was drunk last night , won t be posting much again!
Or let's see Merle play Chet's arrangement of "Truck Driver Blues", or "St Louis Blues", or "Blues For Dr Joe" or many of the DOZENS of blues numbers that Chet recorded through the years. I think his track RECORD over the years is sufficient to PROVE that Chet could play blues very, VERY well. And his classical album (Class Guitar") speaks for itself that he could do that, too. And not to mention the one he recorded with Liona Boyd, John Knowles, and John Pell. I beg to differ, but Chet
@daffydoug proved through the years that he could play ANYTHING, blend with ANY kind of band, orchestra, group, or sound like a one man band playing alone. Let's see Merle Travis play and keep up with the Boston pops orchestra. That would be a laugh!
this style is not as hard as people think it sounds a lot harder than it really is. its taken me only 1 year of really playing freestyle fingerstyle and i can play chet's songs. they do take a couple weeks but not years.... they become more fun each time because its constant learning and understanding what chet does.
I'll never burn my guitars or give up. To continue to try, acknowledges and pays respect to the master that is Chet Atkins. What a rare talent, and truely a Country Gentleman. Atkins, Travis, Yandell, Knopfler - in the world of guitar these men are treasures!
what a cool dude. Covered it all. Eric Clapton, Dylan, the Dead, only think they had a lot of range. He mastered all the genres. If he were still around he would probably be onto Techno, Indian music, African rhythms, etc.
just wanting the world to know, after finding this... an ex-aspiring guitar player, with 8 yrs classical, and 3 yrs jazz training, overall experience of 34 yrs of playing (of my 41 years of age)... giving to highest bidder 11 guitars and 5 amps. make offer. i quit.
that is silly.do you think atkins would agree with you???? stop beating yourself up...chet could be humble....he rightly knew that he could n t hold a candle to the classical players and in doing so knew his place. he is good (can t play blues like merle and i think he should have picked better friends then bush n reagan.

@sightsizemethod Can't play blues like Merle Travis? Are you aware he and Merle made an album TOGETHER playing , among other things BLUES? And he held a candle VERY WELL to Merle. Or rather, Merle tried to hold a candle to Chet.
And let's see Merle pull off the Jerry Reed composition "A little Bit of Blues" like Chet did. Chet's pickin' left Merle in the dirt on that one.
@EddieEstes Chat could blend with just about any group of instrumentalists. And hold his own. I love classical guitar, and I play a lot of it, but how many classical guitarists could pull of Chet's licks? But he could pull off theirs. Or how many classical guitarists can improvise and blend in with other bands and just play licks improvised off the melody? Not a whole lot of them, because most of them depend on memorized pieces.
daffydoug, this song is off my favorite album of his that i lost years ago called country after all these years. et's record shop cant find me one either. wouldnt have an extra copy somewhere, would ya?
He was always his own accompanist ! And amazing as always. So light on the strings, he plucks the notes like bouquets from the garden, effortless, quiet and from the heart.

@holden415 Figuring out the vocal melody of a given song is actually not as hard as most people think (though it does take time).
However, adding a bassline that fits is much harder and requires a lot of experience with music.
