[musictlk] Trouble with Chet Atkins guitar chords

[Michael]

LOL Marion
I don't think I've ever heard anyone play harmonics better than Tommy 
....check out Over the Rainbow to get blown away.

I saw Leo Kottke live at a free concert during my college years and I think 
he is truly the master of the twelve string.
