That tone is SO SWEET and can only bring me back to the old days when Chet was playing his Gretch. And your playing and touch is wonderful! You do Chet a great honor by learning and playing these tunes so close to his original recordings. I think if Chet is looking down from heaven, he is smiling a big grin and must be very proud of you. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Perhaps he has sent his blessing and touch down to you, because you have a great talent and you certainly have the magic touch.
Everyone here on the Chetboard is proud of you, and we all want to hear more!

Thank you so much Doug.
There has been and there will always be only one Chet Atkins;
I consider myself a performer and I like COPY, what did Mr. Guitar. He is the artist, he created EVERYTHING;
Chet is the perfection to which we must look.
When as a child I discovered Chet (I have to thank my late master Paolo Cucinotta) my life has changed!!
Classical, acoustic, electric, Resonator .......... there is no type of guitar that he has not expressed beautifully and fully performing arrangements that will remain immortal.
It was also a great innovator and Special Effects Supervisor (as not to be enchanted by a "snowbird", "blue ocean echo", "when you wish upon a star", and many many more ............. ..).
I dedicate my free time (a little sadly) listening, and execution (more or less good) songs of Chet and not only that, I also like Charlie Byrd, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Baden Powell, and many others .. ............ fact people who have dedicated their lives to the guitar, but Chet is special, I do not know why, but I would stay hours and hours listening to.
Thanks again for the nice words you spent for me, Doug, and I am happy and honored to share my PASSION / OBSESSION with all of you.
Paolo Spadaro.
