From Chet's "Solo Sessions" album..some of the absolutely finest,most refined guitar playing ever heard.

Mr guitar was at his top when he recorded this classic old standard! What GORGEOUS playing!

I was put off from Chet for a long time because he was classified as a COUNTRY guitarist and, sorry, he's not at all. But now that I've found a new appreciation for acoustic jazz, I begin to truly find his masterful, melodically simple yet technically sophisticated guitar work an inspiration more and more.

@JessCapps100 Chet once said "Everything I play comes out sounding country."

Remember, Chet was born and raised in the mountains of Tennessee.

But truthfully, he could play ANYTHING.

@Scumbagsixsixsix Pretty good when you consider that Chet probably recorded this before he had wiped the sleep out of his eyes.

Chet Atkins is still the greatest of them all...A God given gift. He's a genius and I like him because he is a very humble man. He lives forever in his music.
