Thank you Clive, I'm glad you like this interpretation.

[@RobertGrayMusic]

Good work mastering the Chet Atkins picking style! The chorus effect is a nice tonal touch too :)

[@XavierHiriart]

Thank you Robert for this compliment which touches me particularly. I usually use very little effect, for this track a light Flanger was enough...😉

[@JohnGSchuur]

Masterful playing ! Enjoyed your rendition of this iconic tune , thumbs up 🙏👍

[@XavierHiriart]

Thanks John, I'm glad you like this interpretation.😊

[@watchesvideosonline]

How did you get tone? Chorus and light overdrive? Flanger and light overdrive?

[@XavierHiriart]

Thanks for your listening and your commenting. I usually use very little effect, for this track a light Flanger was enough...😉😊

[@bobcoleman3400]

Nice picking. I need more practice.

[@XavierHiriart]

Thanks Bob, but I reassure you, I still need to work too because otherwise my fingers go numb...😉

[@markdeweese9288]

Fine finger picking. Merle Travis would be proud .

[@XavierHiriart]

I see you throwing I Am a Pilgrim in there from 0:45~1:00!
It works perfectly!

[@XavierHiriart]

"I am a pilgrim" is included in this arrangement effectively. Nice listen...

[@jayheinz4624]

​@@XavierHiriart I was unable to understand your description, so I was wondering how you came up with this arrangement? And that's a very nice guitar ,,very nice gloss finish! 🎸

[@PanHedonic]

Wow! Lovely playing of this great Travis medley!

[@XavierHiriart]

Thanks fingerpicker23, 😉😊

[@armandpelletier4068]

Love your arrangements, nice playing, please do more!

[@XavierHiriart]

Thanks Armando for the compliment, but let's give credit where credit is due: the arrangement of this medley is borrowed from Marcel Dadi's album N°3. Unfortunately, I had nothing to do with it...😉😊

[@glenrush3605]

Very nice. Great sound!

[@XavierHiriart]

Thanks Glen...😉😊

Super ! Je m'abonne. J'ai toujours joué Marcel Dadi, et ses reprises, mais sur acoustique. Sur électrique, on entend le moindre "pain", ou "tzing". Alors quand j'entends ce son pur et parfait, j'admire 🙂

[@XavierHiriart]

Merci pour ce commentaire très sympa. Effectivement ce n'est pas toujours facile d'éviter les "tzings" ou autres "plocs", donc quand l'interprétation est propre, c'est vraiment cool...😊😉

[@JW-mz8ym]
