 CE 27.387  Slight Bigsby Dip  Key Change to C  Rhythm chords repeat This is one of those tunes you just can't help but feel good listening to it.  

The first time I heard Chet play this tune he played it with the Boston Pops.  Later I saw him play it with the Pops on TV.  Chet's first recording was on the LP "A Session With Chet Atkins".  This recording has Chet on guitar, a piano, a fiddle, a bass, a drummer, and according to the notes, a steel guitar.  I don't hear the steel guitar during Chet's breaks, but I think I hear at times a rhythm guitar.  

For back porch pickers, there just isn't enough of Chet in either version to make a reasonable (that is to say "2 minute") guitar solo.  So I decided to combine the two versions.  Chet's solo on the Pops recording is played pretty straight, so I decided to start with it, and then add the parts from the Session recording.

Most folks seem to want to play this tune in the key of G, but Chet starts out in A and by the time Chet comes back in for the last break, they are in the key of C. 

So on a lark I transposed Chet's original breaks down two halftones.  And to my surprise, 95% of what Chet did in his original keys transpose very nicely with no need for adjusting or changing anything.  To keep this as Chet-like as I possibly could, I limited the editing of the unplayable parts to moving the notes an octave up or down, or using obvious choices, like an F# bass on the D7 chord.

So now if someone needs a version of the Alabama Jubilee in G, here it is!
