This version is from the RCA LP "A Session With Chet Atkins" and features a number of musicians in an All-Star jam.  This particular tune had leads by Chet, a fiddle, a steel guitar, and a piano.

I just transcribed Chet's leads as he couldn't be heard on the other leads, except maybe for the first three measures of the fiddle lead.  Chet starts in the key of C, and by the time he comes back in for the last (close out) lead, the tune had modulated to F.  His closeout lead isn't very noteworthy other than the ending which, to me, is the highlight of the tune.  I did my best to transcribe Chet and the bass part as accurately as possible.  I wrote the rhythm guitar part in the style of this recording as it was very staccato and of such low amplitude, it resembled a snare drum or brushes on a cymbal rather than a guitar.

Chet's first pass is vintage Chet, with lots of Dizzy Strings pull off's.  The tune is not particularly difficult for folks proficient in playing thumblick guitar.

Intro:  Chet plays the Intro very rubato with lots of changes in tempo, just very freely.


Measure 48:  I created this measure from the end measure of the first pass and the opening measure to the last pass.  The fingerings are of their particular measures.   This was just the easiest way to combine the two passes without creating something that was not in the recording.

Measure 49:  I couldn't detect any use of a Bigsby vibrato in the tune.  At the 3rd beat, there is a very slight vibrato that I believe was lefthand vibrato, rather than righthand mechanical.  I've notated this effect in the TAB staff.

Measure 66:  Chet is starting a run in octaves.  Note that he is playing them slightly arpeggiated, probably with his thumb and a finger.  This is in opposition to the Django method of strumming through the octave.

Measure 79 and 80:  The ending:  All the musicians participate in the ending.  It is very difficult to pick out Chet, but I believe what I've put in this TEF is a fair representation of it.
