Yeesh. I think this song ripped tendons in my hands.

I'm curious what the Chetboard thinks of my attempt. This took around 15 tries over two days, so I still have a whole lot of practicing to get to!

I'm planning on playing this during the Open Mic segment of CAAS.

Great job covering Lenny Breau's "Polka Dots and Moonbeams"! It has always been one of my favorites of his not to diminish Chet Atkin's part which I heard in the album they did together. I have been a Lenny fan since 1968 when RCA came out with two record albums of his. It's too bad he got taken from us so early on.
