Yankee Doodle Dixie

[@kencissel6276]

I've heard this done by perhaps 80 people live and on video with varying degrees of proficiency and success, you are the first person I've heard flipping the parts. Amazing performance and amazing variation. My favorite to date.

[@krypto87]

Just listened again, gets better and better! You did Chet proud!

[@Seifer_42]

I think Chet would be proud. Truly amazing.

[@happyrainbow236]

Hey' my grandfather played this all the time. He tried to teach it to me, and when I finally got it, he passed away before I could show it to him. And I just wanted to say you sound amazing and exactly like him! Keep pickin and Grinnin!

[@skipdow3]

Stephanie; This is great. I saw Chet Atkins live at a small concert doing this song. He made a tiny mistake, smiled that little smile he had, and quietly said to the audience: "If it was easy, everybody would be doing it," and kept on playing.

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

John Smith So true!

[@bobyost42]

Hadda watch this like 5 x in a row to get my head around it!! Astounding!!

[@usmcbrat2]

I enjoyed that. Flipping the melodies was indeed impressive! Thanks for the smile.

[@jean-pierrebignp2966]

Bonnes fêtes de fin d année stephanie

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

Jean-pierre Bignp merci! À vous aussi!

[@myworms]

I like to watch you play, because you have fun & smile. That makes a difference to me.

[@jamesdellarocco9945]

I really feel like Chet Atkins was the greatest ever. Thank you. Chet could do flawless transitions on pieces most artists couldn't even understand these days. They give so much praise to the rock guitarists and forget the pioneers. Once again thank you for sharing.

[@cbarberino]

I dropped my jaw and I cannot find it anymore. U R great. What else can I say, without my jaw.

[@robercoli6136]

Wow. I'm in awe of your playing.

[@kwanxmoto]

awesome! love the flip-flopped melodies and the other personal touches you put on this!

[@qreed9498]

you are the first youtuber who actually responds to most of your comments and well played

[@SunsetSix]

Beautiful. Your hard work and talent are evident.

[@Chardavelli]

That is the cleanest version I've heard. Excellent!!!

[@aximusroh6453]

That was fantastic ma'am. I hope you play this every so often , you know, for Chet 👍

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

Aximus Roh I do! Thanks. ☺️

[@lunyteve]

Absolutely incredible!

[@DerekLipkin]

That was absolutely fantastic.

[@Cope1024]

Stephanie, that was beautiful! Thanks for the Chet Board post.

[@jean-pierrebignp2966]

Le top bravos !!!!!!

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

Merci, Jean-pierre!

[@olddvr]

Wow!! I was searching for Chet's version. Found it, Tommy Emmanuel's and yours. I LOVE your version! You look like you're having so much fun! Beautiful music and a beautiful smile!

[@jimirsaysbuddy]

Very cool, Sister. Nothing slicker than a lady picker with attitude, and your little smirk at the end shows that you've got some. Thanks for the treat. Dave in Indy

[@bobyost42]

YOU are completely SICK with it!! AWESOME!!

[@julianparman7842]

When the melodies flip!! So awesome!

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

+Julian Parman Ha! Thanks. Just tryin' to make it interesting. ;-)

[@andyg256]

Very cool :-) It`s tunes like this that have inspired me to pick up the guitar again after nearly 18 months of not playing :-) Peace and love.

[@woodstoney]

Great rendition and very nicely played!!!

[@DanyEudesRomeira]

That was so great! I liked it very much! Thanks for sharing!

[@ssaannddrro]

Loved it. From Australia

[@matthewhart6857]

I was just watching Don Felder talking about Chet and his recording of this so I looked it up and found your version as well. Love it. Great work Stephanie.

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

Thank you! The Chet-ster was the best.

[@TomStrahle]

Exactly what I just did.

[@Patriot-up2td]

Matthew Hart same here! 2 thumbs up, great job!!!

[@timknobloch3866]

Very good. I took lessons very young from a teacher, mainly classical and he got to take a lesson from Chet Atkins! This is the song he taught him. Very nice performance btw.

[@RLSguitar]

Amazing independent thumb work! Masterfully executed , as always from you. God bless.-

[@98617dave]

Great playing-You have a great feel for the music-Play on!

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

Thank you! :-)

[@MannElite]

Great job! sounded great!

[@zerothreefive6014]

Bravo. Not only did you get the song down. But you make the same faces when playing as chet! Which is awesome

[@adr1701]

I enjoyed it very much; thanks Steph!

[@JustClaude13]

Bravo! I think Chet Atkins would be pleased to know you were changing things around. I picked up his book on getting started on guitar, and he was pretty big on looking for variations when you play a piece.

[@MrJbaker7]

Stephanie, I love how you changed the parts around...Jack Baker NYC

[@olddvr]

I just watched this again for the umpteenth time. Still as incredible as it was 5 years ago when I first watched and commented on it. I should've had my butt kicked for not making the trip over to Starkville to see you when you were there. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open and if you're ever playing anywhere within driving distance of Birmingham, a road trip will definitely be in order! Take care, Happy Easter and stay AMAZING!

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

Thanks, George! I played at a private event in Birmingham last year. Would love to play there again!

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

Wow.. very nicely done. I'm very impressed!

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

[@tommihail282]

@@Stephanie1Jackson I first heard Tommy Emmanuel play this when he was playing and living not far from me here in Melbourne long before he became world known...Stephanie do you play my favourite ''lover come back'?

[@Luckyprato]

Bravo from France !!!!

[@HemiJoel]

Excellent work . It sounds great and looks really hard.

[@Stephanie1Jackson]

It was a brain twister. But once I got it, I got it. Thanks for listening!

[@XxHENDRIXxX1]

Oh my god. Mind blown when you switched Dixie to bass and Yankee to melody!!

[@krypto87]

Amazing! Great job! Really appreciated that!

You've got it down good! Mr. Atkins would be proud of this!

[@JeffW77]

[@TheTylerdog13]

yw stephanie, that is some great sounding guitar, it is so balanced with both the bass and treble. in my opinion this guitar has a better sound than any jose ramariz i have ever heard.

[@elvarwinston]

Really nice i love it,i have recently been trying too play guitar finger picking style but its really hard for me since i always play with a pick.. but any way keep it it up !

[@billgotbass]

Wow!! Very nice! That is SO hard to do, I've tried!

[@esphorizon]

AWESOME!!
