Chet Atkins: The Man and His Music... a true American legend who touched so many lives with his guitar. His impact as a friend and colleague is, perhaps, even greater than his music. This special second volume presents 25 of Chet's greatest pieces (22 solos with 3 duets). Most of these have been transcribed here for the first time.
Much more than just a tab/music folio, this comprehensive book includes rare photographs and exclusive personal interviews from the people who loved him the most, such as Dolly Parton, Janis Ian, Steve Wariner, Paul Yandell, Mark Knopfler and many others!
