Take Five cover(CHET ATKINS)-VIDEO

Hello everyone .....

This time, I will share with you my cover of Take Five, a great classic of jazz music, written by Paul Desmond and performed by The Dave Brubeck Quartet.
The arrangement for guitar as you know this is one of Chet in his Album of 1973 ALONE.
I used (not without inaccuracies) my Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean and my Rivera amp.
I was undecided until the last moment whether to use my Gretsch 6122-1959 or my Gibson Tennessean.

Hope you like it ......

Thanks Art, Richard and Roger ............ !!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate very much your nice comments ..........

The Gibson Tennessean was my first hollow body guitar;
I really like the wide neck specifically wanted by Chet.

Ciao, Paolo.
