Hello to all .......
I return after a while of silence due to ups and downs in my private life (nothing irreparable) .......

Today I want to share with you the cover of "A Taste Of Honey" arranged by Mr.Chet and present in his 1966 album
"It's a Guitar World."

As usual Chet imprints in history a captivating arrangement too, the first section in fingerstyle, and then suddenly with beautiful melodies and then close in fingerstyle.

Thanks to the meticulous work of the great Jack Baker, I was able to study and follow step by step the song.

It is executed, not without errors, with the help of my fantastic GRETSCH 6122-1959 and with the help of Band in a Box.

I hope you like it.........
Ciao, PAOLO SPADARO

That was nice, Paolo. I too played this arrangement for a talent show in college about 1 year after Chet recorded it. I think that what I'm most impressed with is the fact that you're interested in learning a song like this at such a young age! Most people your age wouldn't be interested.

Dager:
Chet Atkins made the best arrangements for guitar, I am convinced ..... The right notes, the right time, the right effects, the right rhythm, the right sound.
Are literally hit from all his work of a lifetime, classical guitar, electric, acoustic ....,
No boundaries .......
I do not think it depends on the age but the feelings that trigger these arrangements affect ..... I really do not know why but it is so, and once heard the arrangement of Chet, all the others are secondary .....

Ciao, Paolo Spadaro

My dad bought that album when I was about 8 years old and I listened to side 1 about a million times.

YOU NAILED IT!!
