| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Jan 20, 2013 - 16:45 Chet was one of the greatest guitarists ever - very few come close to him...  Nothing short of genius! |

Sorry to be rude, but that is one sorry-ass reason for hating on a tune by one of the world's greatest guitar masters. Solution: Watch less TV.  |

| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Dec 07, 2011 - 01:20 The harmonic picking right before the end is fabulous! This man was truely a remarkable guitarist (with very long fingers  ). |

ALL of them are "hacks" - in the sense that they were influenced by prior guitar greats. That shouldn't factor in to what they've all accomplished on their own. Acknowledge the influences, but also give kudos to what they produced as a result of their influences. Page more than paid his dues. (I'd add Brian May to this list, because dammit, he BUILT his own guitar.) I absolutely love Chet Atkins' music. It was the one guitar that Mom, Dad, and I could listen to in total agreement. I cherish those moments a lot more these days... |
| hughtwg (NoVA) | Posted: Mar 18, 2011 - 10:57 Fantastic set. Thanks RP. |
| bachbeet | Posted: Mar 06, 2011 - 23:19 What I noticed about that pic that's strange is that Page is the only one with long fingernails on his left (fretting) hand. That is definitely not what I'm used to seeing in guitar players. |

This was a killer to do because I only had a four days to complete the cover. It was nuts, had to pull an all nighter, drank many Monster energy drinks, and the rest is history! I'm really happy with how Zappa's guitar turned out, even though it was a lot of work. Zappa has a distinct SG, very unique and personalized, so when painting his guitar I knew I wasn't going to get away with just painting any old SG, it had to be his . . . with all the nicks and scratches, the whole SHA-BANG! SWEET! I just love this painting! Thank you so much for sharing that :) (adds new wallpaper) |

| KROHDE (The Center of Oregon) | Posted: Jul 28, 2010 - 10:14 My husband and I just returned from Nashville's Chet Adkins Appreciation Society conference. I wish we would have attended when Chet was alive - but this event was GREAT! What a grand group of guitar pickers. |

| DDB61 (A cornfield in Southern Indiana) | Posted: Jan 19, 2010 - 09:29 What a talent Chet was. I saw him live, almost 20 years ago, while sitting in the audience of "A Prairie Home Companion." He was the best A&R man RCA ever had. |
