Years ago, Guitar Player magazine did an article on the first “Chester and Lester” recording session with Chet Atkins and Les Paul.
The pair sat down and burned through a bunch of standards....
Then Les started putting his guitar away. Atkins, the perfectionist, said, “What are you doing? I thought we were just rehearsing.”
Paul said, “that was great... Have ‘em make the record.”
Atkins.. “But what about all the clams?” (Mistakes...)
Paul.... “They’ll just think we’re human.”
