This message board is designed for the discussion of guitar-related issues, with particular emphasis on fingerstyle guitar and specifically , the life and music of history's greatest guitar player, Mister Guitar, Chet Atkins https://www.misterguitar.us/forum/
Here's my rendition of two old tunes. I know Chet recorded Nagasaki and I picked up Anything Goes from a Paul Yandell video. https://youtu.be/Mq3Up3xK8qs

Enjoyed your performance very much of two songs that appear to me to difficult to play. You kept the beat rock solid. Thanks for posting.... H. Payne, UGP, (Uncertified Guitar Player), Birmingham Al.

Tom, that was done nicely! I can tell that you've performed quite a bit to appear that relaxed......even if you didn't feel that way inside....lol

DagerRande: I have performed a long time but I still have to prepare a lot . Finger style is a challenge even after all these years. Thanks, Tom Conner

Ray Bohlken: Thank you for commenting. I've played "Chet" since the late 1950s but I still discover new tunes out there that I never learned before. His body of work was so large. Tom Conner
