As Chet aged and lost some of his sharpness and dexterity, he relied on Paul to cover for his mistakes which helped him to maintain his confidence on stage. Actually I think Paul was better than Chet at that juncture as he was teaching Chet some new licks. Chet was a humble man who never thought he was too good to learn from others.
@@unihughes All this is not true. Until Chet became ill the last time he lost none of his abilty. I dont know where this kind of crap started. Paul was a good friend of mine and he didnt need untrue stuff to make him great. He was anyway!
You can't play in Chet's band for that many years and not get that good. Look at Steve Wariner's tribute CD. He played bass for Chet until he "fired him cuz he got famous".
I absolutely LOVE the way he smiles while playing certain passages. This man was a musical hero.
Chet said, "Paul can play anything I can"....! High Praise from Mr. Guitar...
He too was masterful! He didn't need to play in the shadows of anyone!
Not enough superlatives to say how great this is. Very nicely done.
Great cover of this old Chet tune!
So talented and such a nice guy.
Hi Paul,
I like i3t a lot, thanks for sharing it with us.
Hugh
Paul was a great guitar player, Thanks for sharing!!
Paul didn't even need Chet to play rhythm for him. (ha)
Thanks. Fine sound from a fine musician.
Paul reminds me of my grandpa.. now I miss my grandpa :(
Bless you - Bless you - Bless You ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Smooth! He was so underrated in my opinion! I guess that could easily happen when you played alongside the Great Chet Atkins!

Yeah that was smooth if I closed my eyes I wouldn't be able to tell him from chet
Is this a gibson guitar or a gretsch?
Gibson
looks like a Gibson version of the Country Gentleman - a very apt description of Paul himself !
