Here is a wonderful beautiful Frolic of a Swedish tune that Chet Atkins arranged for guitar. Jan, my Wife Ellen insists that this tab and tune goes to you....Jack

Thank you, Jack. And Tack så mycket, Ellen.
I have worked a lot with this tune. I found it difficult to apply Chet's playing to banjo. The original rhapsody contains stuff from seven different traditional Swedish tunes, and three can be heard in Chet's version, but he also adds a lot of own electric guitar stuff.
I made a clawhammer version, as a four part tune: banjohangout.org/tab/browse.as...p;v=27910
Here is an old recording, with the composer Hugo Alvfen as conductor: youtu.be/0tBympg3RzE

Thank you Jan,
Your tab is really impressive and detailed for such a large piece of music. Chet used a lot of tricks in his recording such as echo effects etc. Whatever Chet played was always wonderful to my ears....Jack
