[musictlk] Trouble with Chet Atkins guitar chords

[Sheri Wells-Jensen]

Nice! This is one of those cases where I wish I could watch his hands... some of it is really clear, but there are a couple places where, after just my first listen, it sure would be easier to know what position his left hand was in!

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.
