Cascade

Cover of Chet Atkins "Cascade" from the album Me and my guitar (1977), still not perfect I just did not want to do 1000 recording. :P

Question at 0:52 how are you playing the harmonics so quickly and accurately? Are you using 2 or more fingers to pinch or press the strings...? Thanks

@Eblanc

Hi, with the right hand you use three finger , Thumb hits the notes , index does the harmonic (C,G) and the third finger does the off beat,

left hand you do pull off on the first string (B.A) and second string (F,E)

Hope that will make sense to you , Take Care JF

Question - The lick at 0:30 - do you pick that exclusively with your thumbpick, or do you use your thumb and fingers on it? Your playing and sound are great! Thanks!

[chet1952]

Hi, I'm using the thumb and index + middle fingers ;) Regards Jean-Francois

REAL TALENT ALWAYS GOES UNNOTICED!! I've been finger pickin Chet's style for many, many years and never have been able to get this song anywhere near what it's supposed to sound like. I know of only about 5 people in the whole world that play this song near perfect, and you are one of them.

5 stars!!!

Hi Tommy, I know that it is a difficult one to do but It took me a few take to have it well. with Chet, he would have done it perfect one the spot easy! that's why he was the master. ;)

Super, cette tune demande beaucoup d'heures de travail, je l'ai déjà joué et tu m'encourages à la repratiqué...Félicitations pour ta vitesse et précision.

This was a very good job , but believe me, he is nowhere near the talent that Ray demonstrates on this song.

Hey! I'm working on this tune myself, and watching some of your fingerings, especially tight hand, has been a big help - Thanks! I'm interested in your guitar - it looks like it has Filtertron pickups. Whatever it is, sounds great! Thanks for your posting.
