Having grown up in Nashville in the 60s, listening to Chet, Floyd Cramer, & Boots Randolph I must say you are a real joy to listen to. Thanks for carrying the music forth.
This… is… awesome! Thank you so much. Growing up, my dad got me into Chet Atkins playing his stuff on his 8-track player (sadly he passed about 3 years ago). I’ve always wanted to learn this song on guitar & can’t believe I’ve waited this long. Thanks also for the tab. Looks like some hard work for sure, but man, I’m gonna have some fun with this!
That first run in the intro is not how he plays it. He does the same ‘impossible’ stretch on the first chord too and lets the other notes of the chord ring as opposed to playing it as a run of single notes. People can look that up on the old video of his doing it live for TV. It’s so much nicer than playing it like this. Adds the dreamy effect that is totally in context with the tune. Matt Cowe does it the way Chet does it if anyone wants to see a modern video of that hand-crippling move.
I've never seen someone suggest moving the guitar to the other leg in order to be able to make a reach for a specific part. Very cool! Creative problem solving and a good reminder that it's it's a holistic hobby. Subscribed!
Those C#+7 & B13 chords are the most painful attempts of a chord I've ever experienced in my life, severe cramps and pain haha! How on earth do people cleanly hold them down? I either barre the high strings with my ring finger well, or avoid blocking the D string with my middle finger. Absolute crazy positions. Your lesson is very helpful nonetheless, and awesome playing
Another great lesson! I’m gonna have to get up and see you guys live. Would LOVE to see you do a lesson of Stray Cats’ Three times a charm from the newest live album ‘Rocked this town.’ Cheers from New London, CT. PS, do you do any private lessons? It would be killer to do a few online with you. Been playing for years,toured in an original hard rock band called Marvelous Liars but want to incorporate some of that jazzy setzer stuff into the rockabilly that I play when I’m sitting at home, alone.
Thank you! Yeah I do private lessons. We can do them over zoom. I offer a monthly private lesson through the RUclips membership or patreon or you can just contact me directly at theteledynes@gmail.com. I’ll take a listen to that tune and start working up lesson. Thanks again.
Need some way of giving you a tip, I was willing to buy a transcription elsewhere, but yours is done much better, so I was looking to send $$$ your way instead.
Your videos are awesome and your tutorials are on point. I'm building a custom version of the Gretsch White Falcon, do you have any thoughts on Pearly Gates pickups over the filtertron? keep up the great content!
Thanks for the comment! Are you talking about the Seymour Duncan brand pickups? If so they are really nice. You’ll get more of a Gibson sound out of it. So you kinda lose the twang of the filtertrons. But they sound great overall. Thanks again!
@@theteledynes Yes, I am. I'm looking for a more unique sound, but that classic sound is hard to beat. Thanks for your reply. Your channel's awesome! Keep up the amazing videos.
Hey quick question. I’m learning this song from you video and tabs. I have a friend whose am older Gental man that I play with who has some limitations. I’d like to play this song with him and have him do the chords that the band is playing in the background if not too hard. Is there a way to get ahold of the backing track and chords and tabs for it? Thank you for your help!
Hi thanks for the comment. I don't have a full backing track for it although I might be able to put one together. As far as the chords, they are included with the downloadable tab here: theteledynes.com/guitar-tabs
I thought the video title said "How To Play Enter Sandman by Chet Atkins". That would be a cool video though; Metallica in the style of Chet Atkins. I'm sure it's out there somewhere

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it. Cheers!
Wow..your depth of analysis is fantastic. Thank you for the PhD level of decoding.
Thank you very much for kind words, cheers!
Dude, this is sick. I never thought anyone but Chet can pull this off :)
Thanks!
My guitar teacher Fran Banish did an amazing job with this song.
This… is… awesome! Thank you so much. Growing up, my dad got me into Chet Atkins playing his stuff on his 8-track player (sadly he passed about 3 years ago).

Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear about your dads passing. Hope you enjoy playing the tune, thanks again.
OMG, that's one of the best YT guitar lessons ever! Amazing playing, script, pace, editing, teaching. Thank you, Wow 😀
Wow thanks! I really appreciate that!

Yeah you can make it ring out if want. I usually do when I play live.
He literally mentions that at the beginning of the break down, did you watch past 30s?
This is the best video of this song I've seen, and the clearest instruction. Thank you for helping me finally unlock this song!
You’re welcome! Thanks!

Thanks I appreciate it. You can always click the thanks button if you would like to leave a tip. Cheers!
so did Chet really not play bass notes during the G key part and focus on those wicked slides? Love the guitar and style and production, well done!
Thanks! Yeah that second verse is more chord melody and some banjo rolls at the end there. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Great!! What amp and and delay are you using?
Thanks! I am using a ‘63 Fender Bassman and a Nocturne Mystery Brain Delay pedal.

I see you have my amp in the back there. '64 6g6B
I heard this when I watched Back to the Future
I only have 3 usable fingers on my fretting hand! Is it possible to play this?
I thought the video title said "How To Play Enter Sandman by Chet Atkins". That would be a cool video though; Metallica in the style of Chet Atkins. I'm sure it's out there somewhere
Ha! Good idea! Yeah that would be cool. I’m sure it is out there somewhere. I start working on a version. Cheers!
Did Chet know all these chord names or was it all just his incredible ear?
Good question. Honestly don’t know much of his musical background. Now I’m curious lol thanks for the comment, cheers!
Enter Sandman next 😂
Haha!
my hand anatomy literally can't make that stretch from 4 to 9 and I'm already playing a shortscale guitar. sad days
Fantastic. My goal for 2025... :)
I HAD THE 45 GROWING UP
