Music is an art, and mistakes are mistakes.
why try to make everything surreal?
there is no need sometimes.
This transcription is available
well, he pretty much finetuned himself to such a degree whereby his mistakes are just another flower in his melodious garden of art. Not music, but an art.
pure genius
Awsome!!
another gem from the maestro
Yeah. Thank you very much.
@MrJackanthony Chet is playing this in drop-D, the bottom string is tuned down to D, so DADGBE.
@mattycount I don’t know if it’ll still be there, but a few years back I DL’d a tab of this from ultimate guitar archive. It’s a Guitar Pro file though so you’ll need that program. It was a few years back but I’m sure it’s near enough this one.
when u know him as good as me u call him big big chetty atkins!!
thanks
@MrJackanthony
Don’t think so….some chord tuning maybe in C…Mr Jack anthony.
@Za7a7aZ Is this played in standard tuning?
Fantastic! Check out my Dad’s site .Winston271001 He wrote the song “Teensville” off Chet’s self -titled album “Teensville” Along with The Slop, also written by my Dad “Wayne Cogswell
try getting the bass part, and the 2 harmonizing melodies, and write them down on sheet paper.. thats what i do!
@mattycount I am afraid there is no tab of this version…..maybe one close. This guy masters the guitar in such a ‘close’ to perfect way that he imprivise on the spot and takes it anywhere he wants it. He probably got the same tab/sheet you got. Unless somebody transcribed this version…ofcourse.
where is an accurate tab for this? everything im finding is close, but it’s not on. I wish I could transpose something this amazing. I am no where near as talented as this amazing player

This is from 1975? I guess that was during the great ragtoime revival. Joplin was a genius.
