Jolly Old St. Nicholas -- Chet version

..as if we don't get enough Christmas music shoved down our throats, here's another one. Happy Holidays! Chet Atkins version of Jolly Old St. Nicholas fingerpicked by me on my 1949 Gibson L7 with the Fender Twin Custom 15 amp. Complete in stereo with yours truly singing backup!

Fantastic!

[@aceman199]

Thanks!

[@redmud69]

Very well done.

[@VLombardi01]

Nice!

[@aceman199]

haha thanks man! I used a totally ghetto setup: A Sennheiser dynamic mic and an AKG small diaphram condenser in an X/Y pattern picking up both the amp and the acoustic sound in stereo plugged into a cheap crummy Tascam USB audio interface into garageband for some pro style (complete amateur) editing...

Carlos Santana once said "If you don't look like you're having an orgasm when you're playing, you're not really playing." You would have made him proud ;). What do you use to record? Sound quality is stellar!

Sounds great? What kind of pickup is installed in your L7?

[@aceman199]

Thanks, brother. Pickup is a Kent Armstrong hand wound floating single coil

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Great playing. What strings are you using?

[@cooperrec]

Hey man, well done, yet well above my ability to play it that way. I'll stick to the chords version. Keep up the great playing!

[@aceman199]

Thank you! Fingerpicking's not so bad--start slow.
