Play the acoustic party-piece of party-pieces!

Neville Marten, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 3:58 pm BST

Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed number among the world's most incredible country guitarists. Reed, who composed Guitar Man and US Male for Elvis, was an awesome finger-picker on nylon strings, while Atkins' effortless delivery belied a technique that still baffles to this day!

In November's Guitar Techniques you'll find a note-perfect transcription of Jerry's Breakdown, a delightful display of country guitar that will astound and inspire you. Whether you learn the entire thing or isolate some of the death-defying licks and incorporate them into your playing, you'll have hours of fun with this incredible piece, and also see why Chet and Jerry occupy such a high standing within the guitar community.

November's GT is out on 8th October. Or subscribe and get it delivered to your door every month!
