Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins – MacArthur Park

Description

Here is the transcription of Flying South from the album Me and Chet, released in 1972 and recorded with Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.

Here is a piece of music where both guitarists beautifully share the parts. In this PDF version, you will find the full transcription of both guitar parts. Jerry Reed’s arpeggio accompaniment is a real delight, sometimes pushing into clawing. It’s the full beauty of Jerry Reed-style accompaniment.

This transcription is part of a series of 12 transcriptions in collaboration with Prismatone Pickups. The goal is to create a songbook of 12 transcriptions of music recorded with this pickup, highlighting its legendary sound.
