Dan Bishop is from Raleigh North Carolina and has been playing
Fingerstyle Guitar for over 30 years; almost all of which has been
dedicated to Chet Atkins style of playing. He has also been teaching Fingerstyle
Guitar in the Raleigh area for the past 18 years. He is a
co-founder of the Chet Atkins
Fans website, and as Dan states it "When he first heard Chet
play 'Winter Walkin' on his Guitar Country album, he was ruined for
life." Dan
considers himself very fortunate to be good friends with a number of
Country Guitar's finest such as Buster B. Jones,
Gene Slone, and Joe Edwards.
Besides transcribing many of Chet's
arrangements, he has written and arranged his own music over the years
as well.
I'm very pleased that he's agreed to
share his music on this site. Please feel free to drop him a
line if you wish to express your appreciation or have any questions
about the music.
