Note that the first eight measures on the video was cut.  Chet may have deliberately left those measures off due to time restraints on the early TV show.  To preserve the character of the song, I took the liberty of repeating measures two through nine.  As I didn't add anything that wasn't Chet's, I don't think that he would mind, at least I hope so!!!!  

In a number of places Chet uses a Bigsby Dip.  Due to my poor Tabledit skills, I tabbed it as slides down a fret and then back up.  If one doesn't have a Bigsby (like me on all of my guitars), this can be used as a technique to simulate one.  I try to note each incidence on the tab 

Measure 37:  Chet plays these notes by sliding them back and forth, but if Tabledit indicates it like this, it doesn't sound right.  This notation is the closest sound to Chet's playing.

In several instances the audience was clapping and it was difficult to hear exactly all the notes.  Also, due to the recording Lo-Fi (Low Fidelity) and the rhythm guitar player sounding like a drummer with brushes on a cymbal on the first beat of the measure, I guessed on a few more notes than I wanted to.   After rereading this paragraph, I'm reminded of the old saying "a poor carpenter blames his tools."  Well, this transcription gave me a couple of blue thumbs.    c           s   %).38 %).38Electric Guitar     c             %).38      Electric Bass     
