As always Mark your fingers tell the story so well. Man I wish I could do half of what you can do on a guitar. This is so excellent my friend. Great entry into the MJGOOC. Thanks for sharing Ed |

I'll bet your fingers are a blurr as you play this Mark. Just a great sound and the way you temper the mood with those little breaks, is like your telling a musical story in paragraphs; excellent as always, regards M |

Amazing Mark! Your playing is, as always, superb - and your recordings are getting better and better. This is one of my favourites of yours so far, and a great contribution to Dolly's show. Cheers from Oz, Neil |

Fantastic Nice Chops, you really have mastered some fine music here. Reminds me a tad of Steve Howe, you know I always thought he should have played the GOO. Thanks for sharing this special piece of music. |

Plainly... ...you're just not getting out enough. You're sitting in your lonely room with the tube radio, dialing in the country stations and listening to old Chet Atkins LP's... And plainly, you're not challenged enough by life, generally. That's why I'm going to start the MacJams Surf Music Beach Party! You know, a little Ventures, a little Dick Dale... Maybe a super-fast beach version of 'Third Stone From The Sun'... Cute little quotes from 'Wipeout' and 'Walk Don't Run' and so on... After that, it's on to the 'Yngvie Invitational'! Please stand by... Ed |

great tone great country, tele-like tone you achieved. masterful picking, yet again. very jazzy progression/bass notes at times. very cool. and i have to agree with yeman, if you did this in one take - the rest of us should just give up now and quit playing guitar. |

Lived in... ...a small Ohio town for awhile. There was this guy played regularly at the lounge of a local hotel. Lots of Chet. Lots of great. Guy could pick on a guitar like nobody's business. This sounds sooooooo much like him. Amp settings/style/feel... Fine post, Mark. Sometimes your playing blinds me to how great the compositions are...as though you're playing someone else's piece. Then I remember it's yours...keep 'em comin' |

Well most of my songs are a collection of stolen riffs.I think that there may be an original riff in this song about half way through! |

Classy stuff A very fine tone on the guitar. Excellent as always. Cheers Dick |

well, it figures. someone so proficient at fingerstyle picking would be a danged master at country style fingerpicking.. HA! loved this one, a great post for the challenge.. i have had thoughts of doing something for this one too, if nothing more than to blow a few minds..... see we shall... see we shall... AD |

Well... ...plaster my ass with jam and set me on an anthill! Very cool country pickin Mark! Tickled my ears with delight it did! Ha ha... Be well friend! |

Greats Greats like Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, and Glen Campbell would all be tapping their toes to this fantastic track. Your playing seems to do homage to their style. This sort of complex playing just demonstrates that at this level of playing, it's just as much about training your brain to think in different layers as it is about finger technique. Bright and cheerful. Music is fun, and you have proven it again! |

You are one great picker...... I love listening to you play, you have a Chet Atkins vibe going in this. I wish I could play like this. It's a song everyone should hear, outstanding. Thanks for sharing. |

Excellent! Loadsa wicked licks played with such panache they seem almost lazy and thrown away like drips of an ice cream cone melting in the sun. KK |

Wonderful guitar This is my first time hearing you. Very reminiscent of Chet Atkins at his laid-back best. (I got to carry Atkins' guitars for him once--before I interviewed him-- when I lived in Nashville, but that is another story.) Excellent piece! |

Call it whatever you want it's plain amazing what you can do with six strings and ten fingers - unless you were abducted by aliens and got some kinda special refit. Great pickin' son! |

wonderful chet type sounds, lots of good use of the reverb and country floor. Terrific hesitations as well. Thanks sharing ! |

Hopelessly Fawning It's easy to comment on some songs. But there are some, like this, that so completely impress me that I'm thrown off my listening game. What most strikes me is that you're not showing off here so much as sharing a style that you've mastered. This is the antithesis of the playing that used to impress me in the 70s when I thought Mahavishnu John McLaughlin (sp?) and Larry Coryell were hte pinnacle of guitar artistry (when in reality, Django had them beat by several fingers.) And so, too, do I appreciate the new life you bring to Travis, Chet and other fallen guitar heroes. |

One for all I've listened to nearly your whol repertoire. I can't comment on everyone or i'll wear the letters off my keyboard so I'll post one generic comment. There is no doubt that you know how to play guitar. You've get such an amazing tone and some of your runs are superb. Absolutely amazing guitar palying. Thanks!!!! |
Holy cow. You've got some mad skillz happening there my friend!
Fits in perfectly with the opry theme. thanks for posting...
