  • Perfect playing! So close to Chet I can hardly tell the difference!

  • @daffydoug Doug... you made my day!

  • This is very nice. Do you happen to have a TAB of the way you play it? I'd love to get it.

  • I do not have tab, since I learn mostly by ear. But I know there are commercial transcriptions available. Try searching Homespun or Guitarvideos.

  • Beautiful as usual. But you seem to be playing in a bit different voice this time, maybe a bit sadder. I hope everything goes well for you and my best wishes.

  • Thanks very much, RT. It was rather late at night when I recorded this - perhaps that accounts for the voice! Or maybe I was thinking of the verse about Mr. Bojangles' long lost companion.

  • Chet's looking down from above with a big satisfied smile and enjoying every minute I'm sure. I'm trying to learn this now and it's no easy feat (for me anyway, especially the on-beat H-O's).

    Great playing!!

  • Excellent playing !!!

  • Really good cover! im learning this at the minute, gotta play mine on an electric though doesnt sound as nice! You remind me a bit of Rolf Harris only much more talented :P

  • @daffydoug classical and you don't let your playing be put in a box. Just like Chet!

  • @FrostyMorn Actually, you made mine! I've been working on this Chet tune for years. Posted both versions of Chet''s rendition of this on my Chet Channel. I remember decades ago, when I first saw Chet play this on the old Mike Douglas show!

    Then when i saw him live in concert in '89 it was the first tune he picked when he walked out on stage. I taped that concert on cassette and still have it to this day. But I love your playing, brother! You're like me. You play Chet, and you play

  • your videos are always a treat. your guitar collection is fantastic too. thanks. 

  • no one can touch chet atkins version

    but you did a very good job:)

  • damn
