Deed I Do.wmv

Almost all my tunes I learned from Chet Atkins recordings. This is one exception. I learned this tune from Georgia picker, James Childress, aka Chief, the single string part is my own. Again, I am playing along with my own recording.

My brain knows these notes are there on the guitar ... but my skill wont let me find them .... well done sir !!!!!

@evsynator I say the same thing when I hear Jerry Reed play. God rest his soul.

Oh, man, I just turn on your music, kick back, close my eyes, and the last fifty years just melts away. What a great break from all the modern hub-bub you are! Thanks a million.

@daybird2 Great! That sounds good to me too! I'm glad I can bring a little break into your life. Your comments have brought some joy to me. Thanks

Actually, I think I'm starting to get this, just watching and listening. Great, nuanced playing, everytime I watch it I hear something else. Thanks for posting.

@cwsgershwin Great! Like anything else, the more you do it, the easier it becomes and you get more relaxed and tune takes on a life of it's own. You're doing fine, Just hang in there; it will come together for you.

Great playing and tone Bill, you made me start working on this and drop everything else immediately. My ear being nowhere near as good as yours I'm trying to use the Jack Baker tab but that was from Chester and Lester- great tabs, but I sense you version might be more designed for solo guitar...I know you picked it up by ear but any ideas for tabs for a tin ear like me? Thanks again, really enjoyed very much, smooth, swinging, pure.

@AbsurdBrane Thanks, I appreciate it. I put a few tunes in the "bag" last month and am posting one every week or so. Stay tuned.

This is so smooth and swingy. Your picking is wonderful to listen to, and the tone of that guitar is out of this world. Another excellent post, Billly. Keep on picking.

@evron68 Hi Ronnie, It's so nice of you to remember my grandson Billy. It was indeed a bright blue Fender Strat. He lost that guitar when his home was broke into when he was in college. The next year I bought him a Taylor 314 CE and that's the guitar that he now plays. He is now 25 and married and plays really well. He has some vids on the tube, check him out sometime. Leave him a note saying you remember him; it will really thrill him. Thanks and good to hear from you.
