Michael Rusch got that right. This piece is kind of Chester and Lester-ish. Daffy Doug has done us all a huge favor by posting all this great Chet Atkins material.
Throughout his career Chet displayed the utmost in good taste....most of the time anyway. Here he took a detour down Gimmicky Road and ruined a perfectly good melody. The sound of a guitar is so lovely and pure it rarely needs anything to enhance it except for maybe a dash of reverb.
