Dear Ol' Dadi was writtn by Chet Atkins as a tribute to his friend Marcel Dadi.

Chet played the tune at least two different ways. He played it as a tribute on a TV show the day before Marcel's funeral. He recorded a slightly different version in is home studio that was later released on the "Solo Sessions" CD.

This arrangement from the "Solo Sessions" CD is in the key of C. 
It starts out pretty straight forward. The arpeggio in measure 4 is played by quickly playing the apreggio and then brushing the string in reverse with the 3rd finger.

In measure 5 the song establishes the tempo. Measure 5 can be played a couple of different ways. I can be played from the C position using the 1st finger on the high A note or by collapsing the 2nd finger for the A note.

Measure 7 is played by establishing a barred G chord in the 3rd position and alternately playing the C chord barring with the 4th finger.

Measure 15 is played by holding the chord and sliding the 1st finger from the 4th to the 3rd fret.

Measure 17 is played by noting the C with the C with the third finger and sliding to the D#.

In measure 27 the barre must be released, playing only the D with the 1st finger, in order to slide into the 5th position.

In measure 71 the slides can be heard on the recording Chet does not actually play a note on the 4th beat but just slides into the chord in perparation for the first note of measure 71.

In measure 77 it is the same as earlier in the piece, use your 4th finger as a barre to change the chords.

In measure the chord is a little tricky. The D9 chord must be formed by barring the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings with the 4th finger.

Enjoy.
