The high standards set by Chet Atkins as a performer, recording artist, and record producer continue to inspire others.  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.  Paperback, 96 p.
