***UPDATE SEPTEMBER 15 2010 – I am no longer employed at the terrific company of Guitar Center. Another opportunity had popped up. I enjoyed my time at the GC and continue playing everyday. The guitar is the modern manna, pick up a piece and devour it. God said so! Also go buy music from GC, they really do care about musicians****
As not many humans on earth know, I just started working at Guitar Center. It has already turned me into a huge, huge, guitar nerd. Such as, last night I spent about 4 hours studying up on the craft. Chet Atkins has won me over, in fact, I am going to die a picker. After letting folks know about the Lord, I too want to inspire picking to come back. Its beautiful.
Here are some awesome Chet Atkins videos:
Chet Atkins playing Mr Sandman.
Chet Atkins version of Yakety Sax called Yakety Axe
Side note: If anyone feels the need, I would love to be blessed with the Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman guitar. Chet designed this in the late 50′s. Its a beaut. That is my new dream guitar. Visit the site here.
Learn Mr Bojangles.
In loving memory of the Nashville Sound,
Scott
