and "Nothing exceptional here"... Exactly the kind of attitude that leaves people thinking classical players are snobs.

Bill, that was a wonderful video you shared,, and that guitar sounded like a harpsichord,,
BUT you miss the point,,,~Chester B. Atkins never claimed to be a Classical guitar player,, There were classical pieces which he loved the melody of, learned to play, and performed, along with country , pop, jazz and electric and nylon string,, Chet was a hero of the guitar,,, not Joe Pass, not Julian Bream, although he admired all of them.. Chet was Chet.. no pretense, he never pretended to be anyone else. W Last edited by Wendell123; 01-27-2014 at 01:00 PM. |

BTW - My formal musical training was entirely in the classical guitar idiom and I've been teaching, performing and composing in this idiom for nearly four decades. Your pronouncement on what is "classical guitar" is insulting and condescending to many here on the forum. Last edited by Trevor B.; 01-27-2014 at 03:46 PM. Reason: spelling mistake |

The stuff that Atkins and Emmanuel churn out is what I would call easy listening. Serious music requires effort on behalf of the listener,what your implying is that my shed in my garden is every bit as good as the Taj Mahal!!! The clip of Atkins playing Chopin is truly dreadful in terms of technique/tone production on classical guitar,he is obviously using a thumb pick and he sounds laboured.

but he is no Chet Atkins,, and whats wrong with a thumbpick? Martelli, is probably more one dimentional than Chet, although , obviously a better classical player.. Chet did bring Tommy Emmanuel to the United States, but that is the only mistake he has made...IMO W |

Classical guitar players don't use thumb picks because they limit the possibilities of the right hand,they also produce an horrendous plastic tone. |
