This version features Dark Eyes played in both 3/4 and 4/4 and has a number of Chet's signature rolls and licks.

Chet's guitar had a Bigby Vibrato that Chet used freely, in addition to left hand vibrato.  By virtue of the video, it's easy to distinguish which is which and I've marked each technique in the score.

Measure 71:  Note that Chet prematurely moves the chord form and it interrupts the pattern of the arpeggio.  The last two notes of the measure are barely audible and they appear to be transition notes that Chet played in between the two chord forms.  I'm not entirely sure that Chet consciously decided to do this and I don't think I'd spend a lot of time trying to duplicate it.  I believe Chet originally intended a simple repeat of measure 70, which is in keeping with the rest of this chorus.

Measure 104 and 105:  Check out Chet's fingering on the video for an E min6 chord.  The camera shows this very clearly.   Chet jumps into this form just like it was a 1st postion C chord.      c          0   %).38      Chet Atkins ard     c          0   %).38      Timing/Chord Diag   c          0  %).38      Rhythm Guitar d     c           0  5:?D        Bass m Guitar d   001001010000=107:>899<>7F000P042S0//0000000000001EE4/111103'::::H<100001000020000000008V0000000Page &p / &n                                                                                                                    &c&2&t &c&6&s &r&3&m                                                                                                            &r&3&t - &3&s                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            #b  A   B   C   D   E   F   G   EE  I   J   K   L   M   N   O     $     A                     
