Petite Waltz (arr. Chet Atkins)

I heard a recording of Guy Van Duser playing this arrangement at CAAS 2008. I found the original Chet recording and a partial transcription of the first and second parts. The third and fourth parts I learned by ear from a Marcel Dadi recording.

Spencer.

@spencer1162 The arrangement is a composite of Chet's recording, Marcel's recording and something Guy Van Duser played at CAAS.

I have been looking forward to coming home from work and checking this out all day. What a great performance! The Gretsch has a beautiful sound

[FrostyMorn]

Thanks very much, you are most kind - I am glad you weren't disappointed!

Aw maaaan. It makes my day when I see you have a new video up. It also frightens me slightly, because whenever I hear a new song of yours I invariably become obsessed with learning it. Now, the number I actually get around to learning is quite small, but it's still a shamefully large portion of my repertoire that I've learned exclusively from watching your videos over and over!

Ah well, thanks for this, it's fantastic!

[FrostyMorn]

I am honored! I do understand the "obsessed", though. It is something all guitarists share, that obsession to learn a tune. I think it is what keeps us moving forward!
