[On the occasion of the eighty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, below a live performance of his first major hit. Headset recommended.]
His trademark "Atkins Style" of playing, which was and is very difficult for a guitarist to master, uses the thumb and first two — sometimes three — fingers of the right hand.
Many happy returns.
