Oh By Jingo! - Chet Atkins

This is Chet's relentlessly upbeat take on a Prohibition-Era novelty tune. It's amazing that all these cool, modern sounding licks Chet was playing back in the 1950's!

I just recently started playing ragtime and fingerstyle guitar. Do you think you could tell me the chords you use for this song? I have some tabs for it, but it would really help if I knew what chord positions my fingers were supposed to be in. Thanks in advance

[zacharron]

There are so many chord positions I couldn't begin to tell you all of them. The tab should guide you though. And I play it too fast in this video, so don't use it as an example of good tempo!

it's "harder to play it slower" the way it should be played.
