The Chetboard

Rich, I consider you to be a friend. You and I have gotten together a couple of times and I love your enthusiasm and the way you think and your conservative values,especially considering that you live in California! What I was doing was to contrast the life decisions going forward from the point of realizing that I would never sound like Chet. A person can put the guitar aside or they can continue practicing and searching for our own identity with Chet having been the inspiration. I really was never trying to sound like Chet anyway. What I did was to analyze his smoothness and how he put everything together. He was the first person that I ever heard who put so much together in playing one song! That whole process got me excited because I wanted to play all of those parts all by myself too! Figuring all of this out gave me the tools to create for the rest of my life!

Thanks Rande! Hope to see you the next time you are visiting you daughter in socal.
