Chet Atkins (1924-2001)
Chet Atkins munkássága a legjelentősebb a fingerstyle gitározásban. Olyan ő, akár Bach a komolyzenében. Ő az Atya. Az ő kezében kristályosodott ki, amit ma a fingerstyle gitározás címszó alatt értünk. Természetesen sokan voltak előtte is, de az a munkabírás és precizítás, amivel egységesítette ezt a stílust egyedülálló a maga nemében. A több, mint 100! lemezes gitárművész, többszörös Grammy díjas előadó sok-sok korosztály számára adta meg és adja meg a gitározás örömét. Itt és most, megpróbálom összegyűjteni azokat a dalokat, amelyeket gitározhattok, hiszen akárcsak J.S. Bach több évtizednyi gyakorlást adott kezünkbe. Nos nem is szaporítom a szót, hanem átadlak benneteket a zenének. Enjoy!

I have a 13 year old student who loves Tommy Emmanuel. Recently I showed him some Chet Atkins stuff and he found The Entertainer. I see that there is a .pdf of ‘The Entertainer’ in PowerTab format given on your site. I know this is unlikely, but is there any chance of getting a copy of that Powertab file emailed to me? I would have to edit the piece down a bit to allow him to play it, and I would like to make the changes since I have Powertab software here.
Thanks so much for all the amazing work you do on this site!

Man, what you´ve done here with all these sheets of music is simply amazing. My congrats.
Best wishes from Spain
Exellent! You’ve done a superb job! This is like a Fingerstyle Bible.
I have tabs of a few Chet Atkins songs not on here as well as some Lenny Breau tabs. If you want to put them up here, I could email them or whatever you prefer.
Sorry for the delay, Here’s a link to a dropbox with all the transcriptions I have, should be sorted out proper but let me know if you can’t figure which order they go in, enjoy! https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8CA8A0B7E2E50DBA!311&authkey=!APpgIiONroLdt-0&ithint=folder%2c
Thanks so much ;]
I just wanted to say how great a job you’ve done putting the site together. One error I noticed: the song Fire and Rain shows it is is by Martin Taylor, it should be James Taylor instead, if you open the PDF it says on it. If there are other reasons for the wrong name, I get it, just leave it as is.
Thanks again!
I love the Chet Atkins version of Vincent. The tabs on this site are very very good. However, there appear to be incorrect notations of Vincent. Some are the harmonics in measure 26.
Many thanks for the tabs.
Hi, thank you so much for these incredible tabs. I wanted to know if you would be able to provide the tab for ‘Sunset Serenade’. I am unable to find it anywhere and it is an incredible version of the song.
I’m very glad to have this website back! It is one of my favourites.
