I remember reading somewhere that when the beatles or stones appeared in a theater the place stunk of urine where the girls had peed themselves. I remember when they appeared in Indianapolis the girls ate the grass they walked on. Ya just dont see that kind of mania anymore.

This is one cool song.

@markushalfmad oh the abuse I took from some guy when I said imagine was a nice melody but I didnt take the words too seriously. After all what have I done for world peace he asked. Julian put it best when he said he had alot of respect for him as an artist but none as a father. He said his cros...

great job it shows very well just how far advanced the early " immature " beatle songs were constructed. His guitar played very well with the drums as a good rhythm player does. throw in the unique leads of harrison and you got a style of playing that imho still has yet to be duplicated. harrison...

I am an old fingerstyle chet atkinsf picker but man this is some good music. The Allman Brothers were in a class by themselves. The only band that could play a 10 minute solo and keep it exciting and not revert to some three note run that just gets faster and not better. And what a voice.

All Saddam had to do was let the U.N inspectors inspect where they wanted and we would never had invaded. He signed a treaty that allowed unlimited access to the inspectors. I am not at all convinced that the Iraq people are not glad we took out his govt. Lots of troops tellling stories of gratit...

I was in the army but getting off that bus is just the same. little yellow feet painted on the pavement and this is now how you stand. let the fun begin. Some things are universal. for instance every thing is theirs. The branch of service, the ground you are standing on, the air you breath etc. L...

I was watching an old episode of Adam 12 the other day and foster brooks had a bit part on it. As a drunken driver. Played it much more subdued and realistic.

seems like not that long ago. never a thought about how old everyone would get.

all my lovin is still one of my favorite beatle songs. such a wonderfull arrangement. rock song with a country lead (check out george trying to imitate chet atkins with the lead) and back to rock. i understand that it was playing in the emergency room when john was brought in after he had been s...

just a great live record i have enjoyed for years. to me the stones were at their best with taylor.

the best ever?? come on I dont believe there is such a thing cause there are too many different standards or styles to choose from. however i really like this record and without a doubt mick taylor is the best guitarist the stones have ever had. I cant say how many times i have plugged in and pla...

chet atkins did not write this song. a guy named Williams did. He was asked what was his biggest thrill and he said that The Beatles had done one of his songs. Actually there is a video of Buck and Ringo doing this song. Ringo is a big country fan.

If Chet and Owen killed country music why did it sell so much? They did change it and put some big city in it so what. As Chet put it his job was to sell records. And they did sell much better than the traditional material. What killed alot of country was when it merged with rock. Both both are s...

One thing that I really liked about Chet was he continued to grow and change as he got older. He didnt really rely on what he had done or what made him famous but went for what he hadnt done. What a difference between his RCA records and his Columbia records. He had said he didnt really like his ...

first i have ever heard this. as a chet atkins devotee i must admit this was just wonderfull.

envy has nothing to do with the fact his voice is nasal and unpleasant.

i agree with brian it sounds like badfinger more than paul.

I dont think Jagger minded Clapton at all. I think he was quite pleased by the look on his face.

John was nothing like his music or by what he chose to put out in interviews etc. People are so sure they know someone without ever really meeting them for any length of time. He was so nice he signed an autograph so he must be a wonderfull person kind of thing.

Paul Yandell has the tab out for this song.

I got a 67 Tennessean that I dont care that much for. Perhaps I just need to work with it more.

I had a 67 CG that was mint back in the 80's.No gold wear anywhere etc. Got laid off and said I aint working for less than what I made. Such foolishness. I have a picture so if I ever go thru that again I dont make the same stupid mistake. I will this it was one heavy guitar.Got it from a guy who...

I hate to ask a dumb question but do you have a record contract? If you dont you should. When Kees Nipius and BoeckmannLudwig say your good you obviously have attracted attention from some excellent players. You are a real joy to listen to.

been working on a watered down but still cool arrangement 0f this song. Having trouble making it last very long. Man that walking bass run just makes the song to good to pass up. I think I will just play it at the tempo Sebastion did it

David is a great guitar player no doubt. The more I search youtube the more great guitarist I find. It is amazing to me how many try to get the Chet Atkins sound and feel. Including me. I guess that makes us all just imitators. But then again who can blame us what a sound and what a feel.

ho hum just another tune from Chet I got no chance at all of ever being able to play.But it sure is good to listen to Mr Guitar.

I cant even get the bass run down.

I have the cd and sheet music from this instructional cd. I dont see the big deal. I can play this song. All I need is the music in front of me and about 5 to 10 minutes and there I go. At least its one of his I can try. Cascade or Blue Angel I dont even bother.

I saw one in Nashville at Gruins in the early 90s for sale. I picked it up to play and I noticed the old guys there all leaned forward on their chairs. So I looked at the price tag and it was $35,000. I put it right back and they leaned back. So I saw another that I seem to remember as a White La...

I don't think this is a recording. The vocals are too raw compared to what was on the record. Where is the high backup vocals? As far as who played what on the record I don't have a clue. I don't think Richards would be the only guitarist to play. He isn't that egotistical a guitarist and I know ...

He was the best guitarist the Stones have had. I have heard both Mick and Keith say they lost something when he left. Not to take away from Ronnie Wood. I thought it was nice tlhat he was invited to be there when they were inducted into the hall of fame. I know Keith has said he thought he would ...

I will be the first to admit my knowledge of singers is limited. And I know that the most popular is too often seen as the best. However to call Boyle an ordinary or only a belter seems to be a bit harsh.

As dirty harry .said "a man has got to know his limitations" This is one I wouldnt even waste my time trying. No way no how. I did play a tune for a fellow at Sweetwater Sound once. They not only sell guitars but also do alot of recording. The guy said I was a real good guitar player. Then he pau...

It took me months to learn this song off of Chets Alone record. Hardest song I have ever learned. You do it quite well. Always good to hear a good rendition played well.

It would be impossible to hide his death for all these many years. There are too many legal issues to overcome. Wills must be probated, estate taxes must be paid,death certificates must be filled out,graves must be registered etc. On top of that way to many people would have to be involved. The ...

How great Thou art indeed. The scope and length of Gods love and forgivness is inmeasurable. Praise Him and I thank Him for all his blessings and espically His Son who died for all our sins.
