TRAMBONE

I heard Chet Atkins play this tune many years ago and always loved it. I use a slide on the first note; I never quite mastered the hand vibrato.

Very well done! I was looking for something to inspire me beyond my rather basic version of this tune. This will be a great help. Thanks for posting it.

@NilsNorling Thanks for watching. As Chet always said, "Anything you steal from me is Petty Theft" LOL

Very nice rendition skillfully played. Quite reminiscent of Chet's version. AWESOME!

@mitzvy I had the priviledge to talk with Chet a few times. Once I said, "I don't play it exactly like you do". In his caring compassionate way he said, "You're not suppose to; you're not Chet Atkins. Play it your way; you'll enjoy it more and other people will too." Thanks

I wanted to know if you have any other recordings. I have watched your magnificent piece over and over and I'll never tire of it.  Bloody brilliant. By the way, I have a you tube video myself. It's called Son of Australia by Steve Power. Kind wishes Steve

@stevethecaptain My other recordings are on CD, I have a video that was taken during a TV show, but I can't separate the individual tunes to put on YouTube. I guess I could make the whole video available, I never had a request for it. I think I have 6 instrumental Cds. Thanks

@stevethecaptain I let negative comments slide off to the trash barrel. Thanks

[stevethecaptain]

I noticed that you had one dislike comment....What's wrong with the chappie? Obviously no talent.

@stevethecaptain Bloody good post, thank you. When I play for guitar players, it's one of the tunes they request.

Thanks for logging on, glad you like it.
