[musictlk] Trouble with Chet Atkins guitar chords

[Kirk Reiser]

Oh groan, if we're going to play the oh you should hear this dude
games, let me add some of my own favourites.  First of all would have
to be John Renbourn; he played in Pentangle originally with Bert Janz
another great fingerstyle guitarist.  Then of course I'd suggest Tony
McManus strictly celtic and very excellent.  Oh, there are just so
many really really wonderful guitarists I stumble at that point.  Guy
Van Duser did some really fun chord melody stuff all tuned in DADGAD.
Stefan Grossman does great fingerstyle blues stuff.  I'll recommend
that if anyone wants to explore fingerstyle players to go to
torrentz.com and search for fingerstyle and/or finger picking.  You'll
find many goodies, hundreds of hours of fine listening.
