Lyrics

[00:00.33] I started playing the guitar
[00:01.60] oh..seem ???????...emm
[00:04.51] Back in 1959,my..eh..My mom and dad gave me my first guitar..
[00:11.51] was a little three-quater-size one.
[00:14.55] My mom wanted to learn Hawaii music
[00:17.22] and...She needed a rhythm guy so...
[00:21.15] ..That was me...
[00:23.49] and..and then my other brothers and sister took up playing instruments as well.
[00:27.94] My eldest brother Chris played the drums..
[00:31.99] ..my sister Verginia played the Hawaii steel guitar.
[00:34.70] And my brother Fill who was my closest sibling.
[00:38.96] He was the lead guitar player,I was the accompanist.
[00:43.48] And I started there..in my musical life..
[00:46.74] Doing..what I..I love to do and that is being an accompanist.
[00:52.04] And..when I was little learning songs off the radio
[00:56.85] and tried to work out what was going on on records.
[00:59.92] One of the things that I was not aware of was that
[01:03.39] there was a bass guitar on records.
[01:05.38] I thought for some reason that the rhythm player covered the bass.
[01:10.75] And I will show you what I mean.
[01:14.78] So..there was a record by a band called 'The Shadows'
[01:19.68] ..and the bass part went like this...(Bass..)
[01:25.87] And the rhythm went like this...(Ringing..)
[01:29.87] What I heard was.....(Bass&Ringing)
[01:39.24] And didn't sound like anyone was missing.
[01:41.65] (Laugh..)And...
[01:43.55] So...(Ringing..)
[01:53.06] See it making the sound of the bass as well as the rhythm.
[01:55.52] And that's...that's what I thought was..was going on.
[01:58.83] And it was kind of a happy accident,because when I got a little older
[02:04.12] and I heard Chet Atkins on the radio,
[02:06.79] I could hear he was playing everything at once.
[02:09.93] And people didn't believe that
[02:11.04] they said,"Oh,no.It's a recording trick,don't take any notice to that."
[02:14.45] I said,"Oh,no.I think he is playing everything at once..I'll show you how it goes."
[02:19.31] And I use my..my straight pick and I work out how to get that.(Ringing...Inro of 'Windy&Warm')
[02:25.96] Going like that with the pick,and then I got my fingers playing the melody.
[02:31.10] And I had my own little band like this...
[02:34.98] <Windy&Warm>.......(Clapping)
[03:10.57] So you got the idea anyway,right? (Clapping..Laughing)
[03:16.13] So that's how I started the fingerstyle playing with this straight pick.
[03:19.42] And then I acrossed was about 11 or 12 years old and I finally saw a photoghraph of..of Chet
[03:26.97] and he was playing with a thumbpick on his thumb.I had one of those..haa..moments,you know?
[03:33.93] And..So when I got myself a thumbpick was like someone opened the gate and the horse ran out,you know.
[03:39.63] So I was off and running,and I've been off and running ever since.
[03:43.89] And..So I sure do own Chet so much,he showed so many of us the way...
[03:51.35] inspired us seems still does today,what a legacy he left for us.
