This is the kind of guitar playing that makes other players drool! Eat your heart out, shredders!

Chet was flawless..in top form, here!

10stars!

i was wondering the other day what this would sound like on a guitar... of course it would be chet who covered it

[chester777ful]

@TheSui02 I agree i have nearly everything he recorded

[kilkeper100]

i play the guitar for 20 years now. i'm a shredder and you know why? the reason is quite simple , i'm not able to play like chet. even if i had 20 fingers on my left hand i would still suck compare to mister guitar , he is my all-time hero together with james burton

Hello! Have you ever tried intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

what a piece.

[kevinjconroy]

aw, I could do that.....haha, just kidding...I've been playing guitar for 50 years, and I still am perpetually in awe of what chet can do with the guitar....he is truly blessed by God to play like he does..like he did. there will never be another to compare.

I think Chet Atkins was the best guitar picker that ever lived !!! No one could come near to him.

Nailed it! Chet rocks.

Yes this seems to be an absolute masterclass LIVE! I think it's better than some of his other recordings of the piece. The guitar is shimmering (weeping) like a zither. It's spell-binding and awfully clever. That independence between fingers and thumb is denied to most of us. The extra little fills and nuances entrance one. I miss him too, so I do. RIP CACG
