***C.G.P.*** is the fifty-fifth studio album by [Chet Atkins](/source/Chet_Atkins). It was released in 1988 by [Columbia Records](/source/Columbia_Records). The initials in the title refer to the Atkins-coined title "Certified Guitar Player", a moniker he assigned not only to himself but other guitarists he admired and felt contributed to the legacy of guitar playing.

Atkins performs a rare vocal tune on the live rendition of "I Still Can't Say Goodbye".

## Reception
