I live near the world class Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix Arizona.  I took this shot of a Randy Bachman owned Country Gentleman on display there.

That’s a delightful video of Chet Atkins playing.  Impressed how he plays both rhythm and lead guitar voices at the same time on the guitar, like using two hands on the piano.  The Randy Bachman Gretsch Country Gentleman and Chet Atkins are magnificent looking guitars.  It’s like the Chet Atkins Lisa plays in the “Til There Was You” Duo Session.

I’d love to visit that museum, it’s so in tune with my love of guitars, music, yes, Chet was an awesome guitarist, and I’ve heard of Duane Eddy too…
