Chet Atkins. Forever you will be Mr. Guitar!  Thank you Chet!

[daltonamo]

It's a Gibson CEC Studio, designed by Kirk Sands. Very Rare.

[EvansClan11]

What guitar is that???

[XxBLee909xX]

@EvansClan11 Chet Atkins Studio Classic CE. 1997 I think?

[tyguy335]

Miss you Chester!Great tune.

[TheZach43]

Thanks - great video and wonderfully sensitive playing. Bittersweet to see Chet at a somewhat advanced age and possibly showing effects of his illnesses. I Googled "Borsalino" and it is a famous hat company that inspired the movie (and this theme) of the same name. Their line of fedora hats looks a lot like the one you see Chet wearing in his later years...wonder if?

[RichardBaguley]

Hands up, I goofed!

[cwsgershwin]

Composer: Claude Bolling.

[RichardBaguley]

Written by Tommy Emmanuel.

[Borgescope]

@RichardBaguley for christ's sake, google the shit man if you don't know someting, dont drool.it was written by the great Henry Mancini for the movie with the same title

[MrPandaHarassment]

Did chet originally write this?

[PublicAnimal99]

Guess this is just one reason George Harrison learned a few licks from this great guitarist...............Excell­ent........Thanks

[zolenors]

somwone plz do a dislike as it impossible for me to do so

[rickygaby]

i could listen this song 1000 times and don't be bored...

[FollowersofDamu]

Gotta love that walking bass! Great timing between the bass and treble notes! Completely awesome!!!!!!!!!

[buddybear]

More genlte than Emmanuel, but equally as brilliant.



[roygift]

Did he change to nylon strings?

[aiyic]

Thumbs up if you think he look like Dubya

[joe1969812]

@aiyic Guess not.

[TheMummy516]

One of the few guitar videos were there are no dislikes. For a good reason. People who dislike this song just do not have any taste in music what so ever. I'm a fan of rock and metal but I can appreciate a good acoustic song when I hear it. This a true work of art.

[Dane3p]

Why does this remind me Woody Allen films =\

[gamzer]

No other guitarists but Chet makes it look so easy

[bobbee09]

He hits a wrong note at 1:24, but, hey who's complaining! I guess he did it on purpose to let us all know he's human! LOL!!

[GameLevelEditor]

I've always liked the solid grasp Chet Atkins has on the medody without sounding overly done.

[garfinorbit]

no doubt about it. it's a masterpiece :D

[tarmbruster1]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[icemanisdangerous]

Trying to learn this so difficult cuz of the bass nte timing/coordination and also some of the streches. I'll get it right. Might take a while but I'll get it right.

[brycemusic]

@icemanisdangerous Did you learn it?

[icemanisdangerous]

@brycemusic Yep and have performed it and taught it to others. It's still not 100% I'm constantly refining it. But if I can learn it and play it anyone can!

[TheHarryman57]

That is a great version of the song. He really emphasizes on the melody. It is very different to Tommy's cover at Sheldon hall. I love both versions of the song. But I think I like this simpler version more than tommy's but tommy's is still fantastic.

[jake11evans]

and then he told tommy, perfect what i started

[JoshuaRowGuitarist]

@jake11evans and perfect he did.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

beautiful

[AvatarRoku]

i love this rendition. out of all the covers i've seen on youtube, absolutely no one has played it like this. i'm afraid once or if this video is gone, no one will see this song at it's finest.

[BraLE77]

shit! It feels he s telling us there are many covers of this song, Tommy´s technique can make it imposible to learn, but this is the essence! so dont go anywhere before getting this...hahaha...its the wise version of it, isint it? : -)

[AvatarRoku]

@BraLE77 i totally agree.
