Yes, those were the days my friend.
 
Me thinks there are many who still practice that style, but they are drowned out by the noise of other more prevalent messages.
 
Put on your Indiana Jones cap, and do a search, you may find them still.

Is the Chet Atkins/ Merle Travis Style Dead?

I don't know about the style but I'm pretty sure they are both dead.

Hey Bill, do a search on a Canadian guy named Wendell Ferguson. One of those guys that can actually play two fingerstyle guitar pieces at the same time. Just like Chet. Wendell is also a real nice guy and really funny. He is a crazy good player that can go toe-to-toe with anyone.

Travis picking seems alive and well, but just a different sound that Travis's
