Chet is another one of the greats that makes it look so effortless.
I have never tried to learn this on the guitar. Looks like a fun one to try. hmmm...

That was excellent and I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing!
TV these days could use more of these types of talent segments.

Indeed. Every aspiring piano player tries to learn "The Entertainer," not realizing that the original version is a lot harder than anticipated. They end up playing the dumbed-down version. They also play it too damn fast. As Max Morath said, "Ragtime should never be played fast."

Ah yes. As I've said, I remember when A & E stood for "Arts and Entertainment.

She was good, but Chet? Chet looked like he could doze off while he was playing it. He looked like it was the simplest thing in the world for him.

"agitado". Of course the arrangement is different. Her technique is quite flawless.Chet is playing a much more relaxed arrangement. One that I could probably take a reasonable stab at. I have no desire to play it faster than Chet Atkins. lol
