Chase Padgett: How to Play Guitar Poorly

Chase Padgett—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

Virtuoso guitarist Chase Padgett brings a much more personal story to this Fringe. The root of the stories is his relationship to the two father figures in his life, his Dad and his music teacher Mr. Maxwell. He carries the story along with the 8 tongue in cheek lessons to ‘play guitar poorly’ which are a counter-point to his path to mastering of his instrument and figuring out life.

He goes with his acoustic guitar this time out playing some of his own work, which adds to and underscores parts of the story. He also features few classics that were from very important moments in his life such as ‘Nobody Knows You When You Are Down and Out’ and ‘Tears in Heaven’, the later as a tribute to his Dad.

Quite a moving piece, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house at the end. A much deserved standing ovation greeted the end of the performance.

Almost forgot to mention, he really can sing really well too.
