Chet Atkins - Certified Guitar Player

The high standards set by Chet Atkins as a performer, recording artist,
and record producer continue to inspire others. Complementing the
Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum's exhibition Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player,
this book honors one of America's most influential musicians. To
provide insight on the legend and his music, the Country Music Hall of
Fame invited several experts to prepare essays, including Michael
Cochran, Rich Kienzle, Walter Carter, and John W. Rumble. Chet only
bestowed his degree of “Certified Guitar Player” on four other
guitarists over the years: Tommy Emmanuel, John Knowles, Jerry Reed, and
Steve Wariner. Reed passed away in 2008, but the other musicians have
shared special memories of Chet in these pages. Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player is a heartening read of essays and reminiscences that provide a revealing picture of Chet Atkins and his extraordinary life.
