The best of Chet Atkins

Always wanted to learn travis picking.CD is helpful, Book has tab and regular notation which can be very helpful if your a beginner. Can be a tricky song to learn because of the muting and type of beat but keep trying and it will come.

The Best Of Chet Atkins

The guitar tab is difficult to follow sometimes. It is far better to folow the chords and music-in some of the other music I have it is easier by far.
