No mistaking Chet Atkins' crisp notes in his version of "Sleepwalk". Thanks for adding this to the "Sleepwalk" collection on You Tube.

@Satchmoeddie man.. i wish you would just shut the fuck up, your driving me nuts !

I like the NPR Prairie Home Companion version with Chet and Leo. That one is boss. I have been critiquing the Beck version in GW. Eh. It is OK, but I am not into using a Stratocaster, but will have my Custom LP Std with a Kahler refretted and refurbished soon. That one will sound rich and beautiful as can be. After 30 years it has yet to disappoint me. Chet did a great cover of this, and many others. His Walk don't Run is cool too.

@JoeyJoelBand How do I upload my stuff to YT and MySpace? My video camera is a cheap point and shoot with dismally bad sound. I still use a 4 track 3 back to 1+3or4 more on a Teac synchronized 4 track. My mix down died, so I an stuck doing this and mixing to digital. I have steel guitars, and just got a Sr800 bass that sounds incredible through my tube bass amps. Guitars I have LP stds, ES 330 and an Elitist 335, misc modded others & a D-28/32.,H-Bird,LG0, J45, etc, but used an Iceman on this.

Chet and Leo... Amazing...!

Well, (I'm embarrassed to say), speaking not trying to be a cookie cut-clone, I attempted to do a version myself. I can't say I got it right, but if your curious, it's on my MySpace player.

The address is you know the my space thing, then the slash, then joeyjoelsblues

Gotta love Chet - long may he wave.

Look for Chet and Leo Kottke playing Sleepwalk together - and dig Chet retuning all six strings before they start to play.

This a played great' it apleals to me.

The only version apart from the real one santo & johnny that is any good; it holds a great mood. You also notice that it is not afraid not to sound like a cheap note for note copy of the oridganal sleepwalk as so many others do.

I had a feeling that somone somewhere would do a good version I should have known itcould only come from Chet.

Its been so good to here this version.

Thanks to who ever put it up
