Guitarin' with Mr. Atkins

A couple of weeks ago the boy saw a CD in the player.  

"'dis, dis, wana play 'dis" he says.

"Ok, you want to listen to Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel -The Day the Finger Pickers Took Over the World.?" I say.

"Yeah."

The second it started playing he wanted to play along with his guitar. That at this point he has no concept of how to really use it.  But it was after the first super-cute music session that I made up a strap out an old belt of Wifes and recorded the video below. It can't hurt to start early.

Now every time we listen to the CD, we get this show:

Plus I figure that Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel are a pretty damn good guitar role models.

Sunday- Stuck inside and waiting for the storm to come in I was watching a Joe Satriani concert on HDNET. No doubt the guy can play the guitar. And was great to watch and listen to. I even got the surround sound fired up. But after a while the thought occured to me, JS is too self centered to make me really be a huge fan.

Oh well. Surfin' with an Alien is still a good recordign.
