"Trackside" Chet Atkins Player Study

In this lesson we're looking at a study piece called Trackside. This piece takes the techniques we've learned in the previous lessons on Chet's style and combines them into a single piece with a melody over a bassline.

Key learning points

• Keep the thumb moving steadily
• Use your index finger to pick the melody line
• If you're feeling confident, try using your index and middle fingers to pick the melody
