arr. Chuck Akers ;^)

This transcription only contains the A and B parts. The B section is tough due to those quick moving chord voicings (which change as you move them), and it's impossible to get all the string squeak out of there. Chet avoided this by using a nylon string guitar!

  • Well done! This is the best I've seen this played, next to Chet Atkins. Where can I pick up a copy of this arrangement? I've searched quite a bit, but I gave up a long time ago. Would you be able to give me some direction, or send me a copy?

  • @ClassicalPan Thanks. Just try googling "Chet Atkins Entertainer tab" and you'll find it. If you like it, please subscribe to my channel!

  • That was Great, but can you also play the rest of the tune? Everyone only plays the first part on guiter, i would love to hear the other part, too.. ;)

  • Actually, that was the first TWO parts. The Chet Atkins transcription only has the first two parts so that's all I learned. But feel free to look at the Heliotrope Boquet ragtime video with all FOUR parts. :^)

  • Too bad its not in the original key of C

  • I've seen a couple of transcriptions in C, but I like D better. More flexibility in Dropped D.
