Wow-- I never knew Chet did the Beatles! They were influenced by Chet's style. McCartney has said: ...'Michelle' was a tune that I'd written in Chet Atkins' finger-picking style. There is a song he did called 'Trambone' with a repetitive top line, and he played a bass line whilst playing a melody. This was an innovation for us; even though classical guitarists had played it, no rock'n'roll guitarists had played it.
Sir Paul wrote this song with Chet in mind, yes, I'd heard that too. Did you know that Paul & Chet recorded a tune that Paul's father wrote called Walking in the Park with Elouise? And by the way, Chet Picks on the Beatles was my 2nd Chet album, my folks bought in when it came out. Chet fan since 1963.
