I studied Chet's songs for years and learned a lot as a kid by listening. I know Moonglow but just realized he does it in a totally different 'key' than I...
I loved this tune when I first heard it many years ago. I recently decided to learn it, but I haven't been able to find the music. Does anyone know if it is...
I learned it by ear. It's not too bad. The E-string is tuned down to D. -Marty ... From: baja6string To: chetatkinsfans2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December...
Hi Bron, To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a film based on a Chet Atkins biography. However, Chet did do an autobiography titled, "Chet Atkins,...
Marty - Drop D; interesting. The tuning I am working with is dropped guitar (take the whole thing down two steps). There are a lot of open strings that fall...
I'm glad to hear you have made some attempt at figuring it out, Meade. If you drop all the strings a full step, you'll not make the Bb to open-G pull-off (on...
Tammy: I am a fan of Chets I live in San Jose Ca. but originally from Paris, Ark. I think about 15 miles from Booneville. I have been there a few times I even...
Hey Rich, The factory was divided into two seperate buildings. One to the outskirts of town that did the actual woodworking and the one in town which still ...
Hi Meade, I am playing Chet's version from Guitar Country as well. I don't know that there is another recording of the tune. I think Jerry wrote a few numbers...
Thanks, Tammy. I will have to get a copy of that autobiography. I have enjoyed reading about him in other musicians biographies (escpecially in the latest...
I beg to differ. While Kitty Wells did indeed have a hit with "MAKIN' BELIEVE" the performer Chet backed here was ANITA CARTER.Here is the excerpt from the...
Thanks for the info. We thought it was one of the Carter sisters but was unsure of which it was. Thanks also for mentioning the book that came with the video....
Happy new year and that seasonal hooey. I think in worth mentioning that Jim Reeves did a nice version of "Making Believe". Many differing styles, but a nice...
Hi fellow Chet fans. My name is Don Allen, I was recently featured in Fingerstyle Guitar Mag No. 61. My song on the included CD was called Pull MY Finger,...
Hey Don, that was probably me with the nasty "too much like Chet" comment. I'm afraid I miss the point of trying to duplicate a recording that is so similar to...
I thought "CASCADE" was Thom Bresh's arrangement. It seems all the guitarist freinds do each others stuff anyway.But I do agree that one should put their own...
I didn't know that about Cascade being Thom Bresh's arrangement but I don't doubt it. I know that Chet did Guy Van Duser's arrangement of "Stars and Stripes"...
Hi Ya'll: In an effort to have some control over the spam and sex crap that's been posted on this group the past few years, I've decided to form a new group so...
Dave, There is no need to start a new group. All you need to do is to sign on with your old ID: chattaroy2. I try to login once per day and delete the spam...
Hey Larry, Is it possible to change the membership process so that new members have to be approved by you? I know that is an option with yahoogroups when they...
The other thing you could do is aprove all messages. That would mean you have to get the spam and reject it. If you did that, you could ban any member who...
The only reason I suggested this, Larry, is that not all public forums have the same problem. I have a yahoogroup set such that I approve as well as reject...
