Chet Atkins "Yesterday"

Chet does a wonderful job on this classic Beatles melody..when he starts on the harmonics section, you then have NO DOUBT who the guitar master is.

I was contemplating on buying a guitar, to expensive now a days, after hearing Chet Atkins played here on you tube finally decided to get one Thanks daffydoug for all your works, you make me happy !

[daffydoug]

@wrmconstu I got my first guitar at about 12 years old after hearing Chet play on an old album my mom and dad had bought. Here it is years later, and I'm STILL picking the thing, trying to imitate Chet!

Welcome to the world of guitar pickers!

[wrmconstu]

finally I found my music !

[daffydoug]

@wrmconstu That sounds wonderful! I was wondering if you could tell me a little more what you mean.

Thank you Daffydoug for this. He is the all time greatest. What is the name of the album or whatever is this from if I may ask? I have got to get it. It is superb. All of his work is of course, but this is my fav. Beatles song, but Mr. Atkins and the harmony just is superb. Only answer if you have time. If not, I will try to do some research on my own. Thank you for your hard work in posting these for all of us. I appreciate it so very much.

@AZSun1994 You're on the right track! Chet has kept me inspired and kept me getting sore hands for decades!

@AZSun1994 This is from the album" Chet Atkins picks on the Beatles.'

[MichaelCarMusic]

Also check out Lenny Breau's cover of this tune. He studied under Chet for a bit and does a fantastic arrangement of it

@AZSun1994 This is from an old lp called "Chet Atkins Picks On The Beatles". I'm gonna guess it came out in 1966.

I may not be worthy of carrying Chet's guitar cases, but that's the beauty of music; you can enjoy it tremendously, no matter what level you are. Chet is one of the greats, and I will always find pleasure and beauty in his work.

My first guitar was a Harmony acoustic, like so many kids, I guess. $40 at Volkwein's Music in downtown Pittsburgh. Took a few lessons from an older kid in the neighborhood, also llike so many kids, I guess. Felt too stiff to make any kind of music with, and so it was resigned to the closet, again, also like so many kids, I guess. It wasn't until I bought a Gibson Les Paul Custom (that beautiful Tobacco Sunburst finish) and a Fender Champ amplifier that I began to have some fun, and still am.

He lived his life in his music. You can tell by watching him, He felt every note. Great.

It was deep inside him. Love it.
