The old Dixieland standard, famously arranged by Chet for solo guitar and sped up by me. One slide was too fast for the camera, I'm sorry. With moral support from my wife Julie Adams sitting next to me.

You'll also find this on my DVD "Fingerstyle Artistry".

A good guitarist, but not very helpful. I asked how the diminished lick was played around 2 years ago. I figured it out, but even Chet personally took the time to show many of us much more, and he was *the* guitarist. I *hope* you only have neglected to answer these comments, but one day somebody who *can't* figure this stuff out and is really struggling with the guitar will ask for help and you'll leave them stranded, I guess. I hope instead you'll remember then just who you are.

if you look closely at 2:15 you can see his guitar is smoking a little bit.

Great job ! ! I'm coming to Alva's in San Pedro this afternoon to catch your show. It's a terrific venue that I know you're going to love (if you haven't played there before). I'm really looking forward to seeing and listening to you and your guitar.

Richard, you are my favorite guitarist. Your playing inspires me to get serious and work harder. Julie, you are a fantastic cellist. Makes me want to learn cello! Thanks so so so much for the music.

hey Richard you are freakin good bra. Is there any way you could do some tutorial videos on learning chet style, like thumb and finger independence, chord progressions for this style, tricks and licks? may be a lot to ask but Im having trouble getting my damn thumb to run on auto while my fingers pick. I found chets music and TE, doyle dykes, they are what I want to learn because of their versatility and its just an amazing style. Great job

Maybe she needs a reminder that speed and quality aren't the same. Are you playing for your audience or to impress other musicians? ;-) Great pickin', though! Keep up the good work!! Again, how about a simple tab of the lick at 1:22?
