And now, Chet shows you how to play guitar with his revolutionary new teaching system.
You get a one-hour video, plus this 112-page step-by-step songbook and an audio cassette
for practicing.
Here's how it works.
First, we've got to get them tuned.
Keep your eye on the split screen and listen as Chet plays the strings one at a time so
you can adjust your guitar to his.
You'll learn the names of the strings as you tune.
Now let's learn some chords and we'll start with the C chord.
On-screen diagrams and split-screen close-ups show you exactly how it's done.
And the digital clock in the corner makes it easy for you to find your place in the
book.
After you've learned some basic chords like C and G7, you might want to play an alternate
bass line.
Join Elizabeth and Will as Chet shows you the basics of playing chords and melodies.
And Chet reveals some inside tips you won't find anywhere else.
Always keep a finger anchored whenever you can.
It makes it so much easier.
Now we'll have Will demonstrate the first old blues lick that we play in this.
Very good.
Very good blues.
Chet shows you everything from the basic chords to his favorite hot mix.
You'll have hours of fun and save hundreds of dollars over the cost of books and lessons.
So get your guitars and get your book and collect all your thoughts and join us.
Remember you get the video, the song book, and the audio cassette, plus the fun of making
music with Chet Atkins.

My very first record ever was with George Jones.
And if I could choose to do another duet, I'd do another one with him.
I got a lot of support from my family, but whatever was inside of me was what made me
go on and want to do this.
So I guess my biggest influence came from inside.

65 years of the Grand Ole Opry.
On November 28, 1925, George D. Hay launched the WSM Barn Dance, a live country music show.
Preceding this show, WSM carried a classical music program.
One evening, George Hay opened the barn dance by saying, for the past hour we've been listening
to music from Grand Opera, but from now on we'll present the Grand Ole Opry.
The name and the tradition live on.
Tune in CBS TV January 19 for the 65th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry.
Merle Haggard, George Jones, Johnny Cash, and those were the people we listened to around
my house when I was a kid.
And they were straight ahead country.
He Stop Loving Her Today is probably one of my all time favorite symphony because every
time that song is played it brings back strong emotions.
I travel all over the country and people come up to me and say, hey we saw you on Ralph
Henry's show, we saw you on Crook and Chase, and it lets me know that people are watching.

Blue is better.

I have to tell you about this method of exercise that helps you have a firmer stomach without
sit-ups.
It's called the tummy-sizer method and it was originally developed by a European doctor.
Just clip on the tummy-sizer and extend and contract your stomach muscles.
Then relax.
The tummy-sizer helps make sure you do this isometric exercise correctly.
You work out your abdominal muscles in just minutes a day, counting your reps as you firm
your stomach.
What's so fabulous about the tummy-sizer method is that it works great even when you're in
a relaxed position.
For me, if exercising is too hard and complicated, I end up not doing it.
That's why I love the tummy-sizer method.
It's the way I like to work out.
The tummy-sizer method is so safe and effective for firming your stomach without sit-ups.
It's been approved by an exercise physiologist.
There are a lot of products out there that help you do sit-ups, but the tummy-sizer method
helps you firm your stomach without sit-ups.
At first, because it was so simple, I didn't think it was doing anything, but then I noticed
that my stomach was firmer.
The tummy-sizer method really worked for me.
For a firmer stomach without sit-ups, call toll-free now from FitnessQuest.
To order call 1-800-238-9300.

There aren't really too many tough things.
I mean, a lot of people think it's tough work out there riding on those buses, but that's
