I remember when Chet Atkins arrangement was published in GP. I think there was one of those floppy vinyl records with it. Like the rockabilly approach. | |

I didn’t know this song but wow, great playing and film noir vibes. I can hear some influence from your recent Hindustani guitar studies. Cool track, Mike! | |

Beautiful, Ethan. When I first learned B11th one of the first tunes I arranged was Nuages. It just sits in that tuning like a Cheshire cat. Nice tone and improv ideas! | |

30 years ago I bought a Gibson EH-150 that had a Tele pickup in place of the original Charlie Christian. Sounded ok but I eventually replaced it. | |

Pete was a pedal steel titan in the 60s but rare to seem him with an acoustic steel. His expression seems a bit like his mom caught him smoking.
