Mind blowing…

Thank you for posting this

Chet Atkins told me, the summer of '71 (when he played our glorified 'state fair' in Ottawa Canada) that "most nights" his wife would find him, a guitar in his lap, "asleep after watching Johnny Carson." For his own appearance two years later he selected Jerry Reed's ultra difficult THE CLAW for his opening solo; then, demonstrating "my touch" which "isn't loud," a ballad he loved "from North Carolina, The Odd Folks of Okracoke" (at the 8:40 mark) which Johnny, himself a guitarist, so appreciated. Deepest thanks to DAFFYDOUG for once again, as he often does, sharing something unique with Chet's millions of fans.

Thank you for uploading this!

Chet. Is. The. Greatest

Music legends 😊

Pure Jerry Reed instrumental, played beautifully by his friend, Chet - BRILLIANT! Thanks, from a new UK sub, cheers, Gus :)

Chet was such a boss

What a doggone treat...!!! Anytime of the day. Try it kids, you'll like it !!!

Excellent video!

I can see Jerry Reed scratching his head saying "why didn't I think of that?"

for some reason that number about "the good ol' E A R & H"... the bridge where he sings "yes I can yes I can can can" weirdly reminded me of Obama's campaign slogan of "Yes we can"

Chet was having a good time with Lenny....fantastic minds and abilities...great video, thank you!

He mentions Wes Montgomery. Chet was a major musical artist of the twentieth century.

Written by Jimmy Bryant, one of my faves by Chet!

Typical Chet Atkins, a fine sense of humour, and fine picking of course.

About as good as it gets…

Countless videos of Chet’s playing prowess on here, this is the first I’ve seen of his producing prowess. Thanks for sharing

Norske Intervjue. First question: "How does the Nashville Sound compare with Norweigian mountain song? " I'm already laughing hard. Then Chet tells the one about he has a "good fiddle" -- " a Stradivarius, and I bought it new!" LOLOLOL. Intervjuer still not quite catching on, Chet says "...that's a joak. J-O-A-K , joak. " [ and here's chet making fun of himself, because his jokes are delivered so dry that he needs to spell them out] 💚💙💜 The thing that I find truly amazing, that Chet at 4:30 saying he doesnt have many people over to his recording studio/basement because it's become an exclusive neighbordood and he's worried the neighbors would complain, forcing him to take his studio downtown. 😲 Wha???? The one person who almost singlehandedly created 75% of Nashville's economy...afraid they would push him out of his own home for playing music. MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!

What year was this?

🎉 Kool 🎉 Thank you for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8

Chet 😮forever

Thank you for archiving this.

Mr. Guitar. Another great artist that I learned about too late.

sad to see Charlie is the last member alive. A fantastic group!

🎉

Dang! Chet was and still is the GOAT!

He gets quite a good sound out of the nylon strings. Read that on the back cover of the LP "My Favorite Guitars" He is amazing.

That was great!

Thanks for posting these! I enjoyed the video too!!👍

Chet called Lenny the greatest guitar that ever lived.

My dad had this album. I remember listening to this song many times.

i’ve been playing guitar since I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan back in 1964. I’ve been in lots of bands, hardly a day goes by that I don’t pick up a guitar. but after seeing this video by accident, I realize I don’t have a clue..

I saw Chet, Floyd and Boots in Ft. Lauderdale on their Masters Festival of Music tour way back when. Jerry Reed was an added attraction. The only song I remember for sure was Peanut Vendor. After the show and as people were filing out something came over me and I snuck backstage and met the guys as they were leaving the dressing room and got autographs. Still got 'em.

What a treasure, thank you for posting this!!!

AWESOME!

Here's one I hadn't seen...thanks so much..awesome performance!

First time seeing this. Loved seeing Chet play this tune on his DelVecchio resonator.

Im trying to track down a tune chet did where the vocals went so many things in this to see this old world and all i see is you.even on subway trains and down country lanes all i see is yoi

Great is he

I've been watching the young lady's videos since at least 2015 (or so) when Starband went out of business and we learned there were satellite services that would allow enough for us to watch videos.

so tasteful

That sweep picking at the very end is conclusive -- Chet's the GOAT!

A "little" 22,000 square foot house? Let's hope he meant a 2200 square foot house. I doubt that his wife was cleaning a 22,000 square foot home by herself.

Chet, if he had a fault, it was because he was too humble and too self-deprecating! Fact is, he was the greatest and most influential guitarist of his time, who mastered multiple genres of music. And 22 years after his death, he still has young, upstart guitarists whose ears perk up when they hear what he did 70 years ago, and try to keep that sound and fingerstyle method of guitar playing alive and well. And oh, BTW, he was also one of the greatest record producers and recording executives to ever live, establishing the "Nashville Sound," which revitalized and helped keep country music competitive during a time when it was in a funk in terms of global record sales.

These have to be the most humorless, wooden people I’ve ever seen. Poor Chet. He remained gracious.

Nokia Edwards would die when he got operated on for that hip. He was a fabulous player and a wonderful man, also.

Chet always chided TE for showing off and TE never got the message. Everyone there is laying back so as not to outshine Chet as he is dying from brain cancer. TE can’t resist. Not even here.

What a wonderful man. What a kind, gentle, talented man. When he played it sounded like the guitar was playing itself. He never played a note that didn’t ring.
