Composed by Chet Atkins and Randy Goodrum
In this video we get to hear what I think is really something special. This is a great tune that Tommy Emmanuel play that is composed by Chet Atkins and Randy Goodrum.
This song "To B Or Not To B" is also found on the album that Tommy and Chet did called "The Day the Finger Pickers took over the World". This album from 1997 is mostly a instrumental with Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel playing with a band. To B Or Not To B is found on track #2.
Now I have not attempted to play this song yet, there is another great song from Tommy and Chets album that I have taken an interest to. So can't really give you any pointers. But like Tommy tells us in this video about the song. "To B Or Not To B" is a real finger picking tune with many different styles.
On the "The Day the Finger Pickers took over the World" album this song is played with two acoustic guitars (Chet and Tommy) along with drums and bass guitar. But it still sounds great with only Tommy playing "To B Or Not To B" alone.
This video is from 2009 filmed in Toronto, Canada.
