More of That Guitar Country - Chet Atkins: This CD is full of classic Atkins fingerstyle guitar and contains the original version of Freight Train that I learned so many years ago. The version here is a very basic version of the way that I play this song, but it still sounds great and you can use this song as a foundation to build your fingerstyle picking. This was one of my very first fingerstyle guitar tunes that I learned. Chet Atkins also made a great arrangement of Freight Train that you should have in your collection. In this lesson of Guitar Tabs from Ultimate Guitar OnLine we will show you great solid intermediate fingerstyle version of the classic Elizabeth Cotton song Freight Train.
You are a gifted teacher with superb tech skills.Freight Train Advanced Tab - Fingerstyle Guitar: Thanks again for ALL of the great lessons. Maybe it’s that I’m left-handed and I’m trying to do something designed for right-handed levels of natural dexterity. Very rewarding but don’t underestimate the struggle for beginning guitarists.
It has taken me all week all day each day to develop the muscle memory in right hand fingers for this. (1,000 times)ĭrill #3: You get the drift - break the exercise into four sections - practice them independently then assemble them into larger modules. I spent the first eight hours or so discovering ways to dissect the motions into the following:ĭrill #1: Left hand pinkie on sixth string pluck string three then string four - do this 1,000 timesĭrill #2: pinkie on fifth string-pluck then pluck strings four(pointer) and two (ring finger) simultaneously. It would be a great benefit to the less adept like myself to present a four or five step set of drills that break this lesson into manageable chunks. I have been trying to master it six hours a day for the past five days and I am getting close. Hah! Bad by who’s standards? In every interview I’ve ever seen with Chet Atkins he seemed like such a humble, down-to-earth guy which is pretty amazing considering how powerful he became in the music industry. I remember hearing Chet say that he sounded like 2 bad guitar players playing at the same time. Because so much is going on with his right hand when he plays, it actually sounds like 2 or 3 guitar players. I must admit it’s nice to see that some areas of country music are heading back to their roots and bringing back the “twang” – sorry Chet.Chet is best known for his finger-style technique on his right hand, which always consisted of a walking bass line (his thumb), and a rhythm and melody (his second, third, and fourth fingers). To help increase country album sales, Chet helped create the “Nashville Sound” which was basically a movement to scrap all of the fiddles and pedal steel guitars and “twang” that had been associated with country music up to that point and introduce a more contemporary, “produced” sound with heavy back-up vocals from groups like the Jordanaires and even orchestral string arrangements. In the late 1950’s as rock n roll became more and more popular, traditional country albums sales were starting to decline. Chet worked as a session player and backed up several great acts in his early career before graduating on to a solo artist and then on to a prominent Nashville producer, producing acts such as Waylon Jennings and Elvis Presley. It wasn’t until I analyzed what was actually going that I began to realize what a genius he was.īorn Jin Luttrell, Tennessee, Chet Atkins was a pioneer that helped reinvent the guitar. I thought it sounded clean and simple and… well, nice. and to be honest, when I heard my first Chet Atkins album (my dad’s), I wasn’t immediately blown away. So you may be asking, what’s the big deal about Chet Atkins? When I first started becoming obsessed with learning the guitar I kept reading article after article about Chet Atkins and how he pioneered this or influenced that.
