Yankee Doodle Dixie Chet Atkins Yankee Doodle Dixie by Chet Atkins Main melodies only. Chet does some other "fancy" playing to show off. I don't... okay, can't... yet. This is a neat little song that Chet played. Its a combination of Yankee Doodle Dandy and Dixie, played at the same time. One melody on the bass and the other on the treble strings. It might be tricky around the 5 measure. It requires a bit of a stretch. Using a capo will help lessen this. Take it slow and graduall (allcountrytabs.com)
