Awesome job on a great song



[jehmen]

hey there, I'd really like to learn this song, do you have any tablature for this? its amazing

[MrGrego73]

WOW . nice. could you please send tab for this? greg.peters at couleedam net

[MultiAntipov]

As my wife lay dying of cancer, I listened to Chet Atkins record of this song. Makes me cry every time I hear it ... as I did listening to your flawless rendition ...

"So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow"

[5T5A5Z5]

@chet1952 that would be awesome if you could send me the tablature! I'll send you my email in a private message tomorrow morning. thank you so much

[5T5A5Z5]

Absolutely amazing cover of a great song. Can you tell me if you learnt this by ear or if you have music/tab available?

[chet1952]

@5T5A5Z5 I learnt by ear but I made the tablature if you want to have it ;)

that's the most beautiful thing i heard today !

Thanks to sharing it with us ;)

[worldalvin]

Great job Chet would be proud.

[20KfromShea]

This tune is so like Chet I Can't tell the difference.

You are an awesome guitar player and I would like to hear something that is yours, that you pour your heart into--something that would remind me of no one but you. You are one heck of a player and if you have such a tune I will find it. Golly you are good!!!!

[chet1952]

Thanks for that comment ;)

[Flap999]

Outstanding! 5 stars!

[Record208]

Salut, j'admire ta précision, surtout dans les (sweep) qui sont très difficiles à faire.  Je suis à quelques heures de chez vous, il faut absolument se rencontrer.Renald

[chet1952]

Je joue présentement au Théatre Corona

on peut se voir le lundi au Mercredi Chez EMF musique (Chambly) je donne des cours de guitare a cet endroit et Merci pour les bon commentaire vous êtes un excellent guitariste!

[Record208]

J'irai te voir une bonne journée. Renald merci de m'avoir répondu.

[chet1952]

A+ Mon ami! :)

[inohim]

WOW, you nailed that tune big time. I have watched others do a really nice job but no one that I have seen has got it down note for note and echo for echo with the way Chet recorded it. I would like to know what kind of echo unit to buy and how to set it up to get the same kind of sound if you care to share that. Keep more songs comin' !!!

Frank

[chet1952]

Hi, Frank I made a video in my channel that cover the echo setting, I,m using a replex echo witch is a bit expensive if you do that for fun, the roland and boss pedal would do the same result.

[inohim]

Thanks so much for the information. I checked the price on the replex unit and you were absolutely correct, they are expensive. I will try and find one of the others locally and try it out. Hope to see more songs on here by you.

[guitarplayer1948]

It's a joy watching and listening to you play! VERY NICELY DONE!

[podline6]

You are a badass guitar player. Watch some of my vids. I'm a musician too, but different from you. Much respect.

Peace-LL

[jixter951]

Great clean tone and very nice technique. good job on an old classic.

Tom

[dmz7010]

Real great pickin' !!!! how long did it take you to figure out how Chet played that ??? Keep up the good works.....Don

[chet1952]

Hi Don, It's a song that I played on and off for a long time so it is hard to tell, I guess things went better for me when I understood how to setup the echo! regards Jean-Francois

[joependelco]

Thanks Jean, that was supersmooth nice. I am working on getting your intro of the song down.Thanks for sharing.  Joe from Penn.

[BPatrick1214]

Man you do that sooooo nice. Bill.

[chet1952]

Thanks Bill, I can sure say the same to all your great post! :)

[rkhgtrpkr]

Hard to find words to describe Jean-Francois. Just an absolutely wonderful rendition. You certainly have developed a wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing.

Claude

[theblow]

Awesome performance! There have been a couple of other Snowbird covers posted but yours sounds the most accurate.

Would you be willing to become the hero of many Chet fans by working on a tab of thing song?

[chet1952]

Thanks Jizzay, It would nice to do it but I have many things to do, Beatles show, day Job, 2 kids etc... I will try ask someone that I know if he can transcribe it and if he can then I'll get in touch with you :)

[golfmaddness]

Man I sure do enjoy your playin keep'em comin!

[chet1952]

Great job,That's really funny I've been listening to a old Chet cd for the last two weeks to and from work and have been thinking of trying "snowbird" but never was able to do that sweep part.You got it perfect,Super job,

Spencer.

[chet1952]

Thanks Spencer, If I have time this week-end I will explain how to sweep the snowbird. ;)

[wbross01]

Nice job on the sweep picking part; I've gotta learn how to do that!

[chet1952]

Thanks wbross01, if you need some tips on sweeping there's a lot of good info that you can find on youtube.

[BoeckmannLudwig]
