Hello everyone ............

The Christmas time is perhaps the one I prefer more, especially for music .............
So I want to share with you a Christmas song.....

This time, I will share with you my cover of "Jingle Bells" from the 1955 45 rpm single JingleBells/Christmas Carols by CHET ATKINS.

I used (not without inaccuracies) my beautiful GRETSCH 6122-1959.
The backtrack is made by myself using band in a box.

Special thanks to Craig Dobbins, for its accurate transcript I had the pleasure of studying with ease and with much fun this beautiful arrangement.

Happy New Year to everyone too!

PAOLO.

Hi Paolo,
Great job. I liked your changing pickups and using the treble pickup alone too. I think Chet did that a lot over the years. The GRETSCH 6122-1959 is an awesome guitar.
