Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins youtube video
« on: November 11, 2015, 10:51:09 AM »
After checking out the videos for Dennis' new Hatcher Greta in that thread, I ended up going down the internet rabbithole and stumbled on this video on youtube:

Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins playing duets.  Absolutely stunning performance.  Apologize if someone may have posted this here before, but I struck internet gold with this one.

What a pleasure to see and hear these two maestros of guitar playing together! It appears that those Gibsons were tailor-made for this kind fingerstyle/jazz strum technique. The boys and the Gibby's sound great!

I think I'll go back and have a second listen. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video donlyn.  Those two are masters at their art of guitar playing.  What a joy to watch.
