. . Chet on the Ed Sullivan some time ago, playing Blue Angel. I've never actually heard any of the other guitarists play this or try to. It's a nice little tune, so it must be difficult.
Arby, here's a laugh. When I was 13 and taking lessons I loved this tune and tried to play it with a single string pick and a couple amateur fingers. hahaha. I'd never seen Chet play and had no idea of the concept of a thumb pick. Tommy Emmanuel - same thing, but he persevered and actually learned how to do it without the thumb pick.
Chet wasn't one to go for the easy tunes. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteOpus, He wanted to be the best, and although he doesn't many people do still consider him to be. He was technically perfect but never satisfied.
ReplyDeleteGot another one coming up.
