To ‘B’ or not to ‘B’ by Chet Atkins
This is a lovely song that is definitely one of my favourite fingerpicking tunes to play. The chords that Chet uses are so beautiful and it was one of the last songs that he wrote. I hope you enjoy it!

I had the huge privilege of performing Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow in this years schools spectacular in Qudos Bank arena in Sydney. It was the most incredible experience. I can’t thank enough everyone who was involved, all of the support we received and the other performers who will be friends for life.

This is the song I played in Schools Spectacular 2022. Classical Gas by Mason Williams. It was the most amazing experience getting to play this song on a stage with an orchestra and dancers! Well done team! So much thanks to Schools Spec for all of the amazing experiences, the training, the support and the encouragement.

I love this tune and Tommy’s arrangement. I tried to learn it when I was younger but my hands weren’t big enough so finally we are here! This is a shortened version as I used it for an audition and it had to be under a certain time. I hope you like it.

Your so good 🎉
Hearing your performance for the first time and it is amazing! Just curious, in the regular verse which is D, A, E, you seem to be playing Em. I really like how it sounds but wonder how you decided Em instead of E? Awesome playing !!
@@Ed-yj8ts hey, I don’t think I added the Em in for any particular reason. I think it was just because I learned the song by listening to it once or twice then just going off what I could remember. Whenever I play it now, I play it with the E major. I think the Em takes away a lot of the liveliness that the song has originally.
@@bengillard6281 Thanks. You are quite gifted to play that tune so naturally. Keep it going.
Really great
this is just awesome!!!!
Jerry and Chet are giving him a standing O. I can hear their laughter. Well done man!
Amazing!
Absolutely fantastic work my guy
I just learned that song and I’m 73
A genius boy appears !
Beautiful playing ! Keep up !
I give up 😂
Brillant!
When I was his age I could barely pluck out a Mel Bay leeson.
Wonderfull!!!

Merci Ben c'est magnifique!
Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel cd " The day the Finger Pickers took over the world" You're getting very accomplished now Ben .
We like this Ben, easy listening 🎶
Perfect!
This was great - enjoyed it very much!
Thank you!
@@bengillard6281 Ben, you are a gifted musician. I look forward to more You Tube videos observing you play your guitar. Obviously God has blessed you with an ABUNDANCE of talent, and you use it so well. The sky is the limit. Way. To. Go.
Great cover, your picking work is top notch! Awesome recording, you should send this to Tommy if you haven't already.
Молодцы ! ❤
Good stuff kiddo.
BRAVO !!❤❤❤
Wow thanks 🙏
Wow I am sure the horse is your biggest fan !! Love the way you swiftly play the chords !!!Amazing
Wow
Watch out Tommy, Australia has another great guitar master. What a talent
Beautifully done
Hey dude... thumbs up, for real....! 👍👍👏👏👏 Even more 'cause you demonstrate that this tune can be played even without using those typical open chords of this style, with the thumb over the neck for bass notes (f.ex G6, 5he 4th chord) And works the same...!
You're giving Tommy a run for his money if you keep this up
Ha ha, thank you!
Massive talent
Thank you!
Simply beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you so much! 😊
Great fingers young man.
Wow!! Eddie Van Halen would be impressed! Awesome job and keep with it!
I’m just gonna give up now…thanks.
Nooo, don’t give up! You’ll get there! 🥳
@@bengillard6281 Ha,ha…I was joking…I’ve learned a lot of Reed’s stuff…but you are OUT THERE ! (Been playin since I was 10,now 56) Great stuff cheers.
Magical brother! Amazing performance 🤟🙏💜
Thank you so much!
Emanuel is a fraud1
im thoroughly impressed this is amazing
Very clean, young man.
Ben, your guitar skills is my tagret. I really appreciate your performance! Keep doing it man!🎉
Get that toe tappin! Lock in that tempo!
Unbelievable. Have you ever meet Tommy? He would be very impressed.
Yes I have met Tommy twice now. He has been great and taught me a lot.
Awesome ❤
You deserve far more than 1900 views dude. The next Tommy in the making 👏 You will have a great career
Thank you so much!
精彩的演出🎉
Jerry is smiling down. His brilliance lives on. As someone who is currently struggling to get this song down (at 64), it’s great to see the younger generation picking up the torch of fingerstyle guitar and the late, great Jerry Reed. Two thumb picks WAY up on this one!!
