I once heard Chet talking about how he and Mark became friends. Chet had taken his Cadillac to the dealership to be serviced. That dealership kept some CDs in the waiting room for customers to listen to. He spotted a Dire Straits CD and recalled hearing that the lead guitarist was supposed to be really good. After listening, Chet said, "This boy has picked up a few of my licks." Impressed with what he heard, Chet had his people contact Mark's people and asked him if he'd like to visit Nashville. Of course, Mark agreed. They hit it off so much that Mark ended up buying a house not too far from Chet's and staying here on a regular basis.

Chet was an amazing guitarist. I still can't figure out how he could play the bass, rhythm, and lead at the same time... without losing place, technique, or timing. As a child back in the 80's I would be mesmerized by his playing. Even today... long after Chet's passing... I still can't figure out how he was able to play like that. I play with s single pick, he used his fingers. He was able to play two songs at once. 😳

Joe Brown played a beautiful version at the end of the "Concert for George" - but it's an OLD song (wikipedia): ""I'll See You in My Dreams" is a popular song. It was written by Isham Jones, with lyrics by Gus Kahn, and was published in 1924. Originally recorded by Isham Jones and the Ray Miller Orchestra, it charted for 16 weeks during 1925, spending seven weeks at number 1.[1] Other popular versions in 1925 were by Marion Harris; Paul Whiteman; Ford & Glenn; and Lewis James.[2] The song was chosen as the title song of the 1951 film I'll See You in My Dreams, a musical biography of Kahn. Popular recordings of it were made by many leading artists including Cliff Edwards, Louis Armstrong, Pat Boone, Bing Crosby (recorded November 27, 1947),[3] Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Mario Lanza, Tony Martin, Anita O'Day, The Platters, Ezio Pinza, Sue Raney, Jerry Lee Lewis (1958, instrumental), Andy Williams,[4] and Linda Scott.[5] A "Texas Swing" version of the song was recorded by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The song was also recorded by Django Reinhardt and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, and inspired Merle Travis to record it as a guitar instrumental. Many other guitarists including Chet Atkins and Thom Bresh followed in Merle's footsteps. Michel Lelong, a French guitarist, published the first tab of this Travis' arrangement for the American publisher/guitarist Stefan Grossman's Guitare Workshop during the 1980s, following by Thom Bresh (Merle Travis 's son) for Homespun Tapes, and Marcel Dadi for Stefan Grossman 's Guitar Worshop. It was recorded by Mario Lanza on his Coca-Cola Show of 1951-2 and is available on a compilation album mastered from those same shows, and featuring the same title, I'll See You in My Dreams, released by BMG in 1998. An early version was recorded by Hawaiian steel guitar originator Joseph Kekuku in 1925.[6]"

I remember seeing Chet when l was a kid on tv. I was amazed. About the same timel saw Jerry Lee Lewis on the tv. It was on! I started trying to teach myself to play on my Dads guitar. I kept breaking strings. He me my own . A 1948 Martin. Made the same year and month l was born . Finally learn how to play . I still have the guitar. Looks like Willie's trigger. Nelson that is. Thanks Chet. Thanks Mark and all the rock ,country and folk guitarist. I have learned from them all.

Thanks for your words of wisdom again Fil. This is a wonderful video of Chet and Mark, or the Master and the Pupil. You can see Mark's admiration and respect for Chet, and anyone who doubts Mark's abilities just needs to watch this and drool.

Having never been able to play with any kind of real speed, I developed a finger picking style. The way you talk about melody and right hand/ left hand techniques makes me feel a whole lot better about my playing. Thanks Fil

Great videos - I've only just discovered them. I've seen the Mark/Chet clip before, and - whilst I always like Mark before, my respect for him increased when I saw that 'look' when Chet did the sweep. It was a master musician not being afraid of, or 'too cool' to express admiration for another master. I think that made it cooler, actually. Whenever I see that clip, and Mark's expression, it makes me smile. Wonderful! .

I knew that Joe Brown played I'll See You In My Dreams, but I didn't know it was his. It was really moving when he played it at the concert for George Harrison. I can imagine (especially after hearing this magical performance) hearing Django Reinhardt and Stefan Grapelli playing this. I would love to hear you analyse one of their performances, if there's a video of them playing.
