Still have mint LP’s I bought in the 70’s, a timeless collection of some of the greats in popular music, including Chet Atkins, not knowing then just how brilliant and unique many of them would become. Thank you for sharing this-it brought back great memories.

Was this same arena where Jim Reeves performed with Chet, Bobby Bare, Anita Kerr singers and the Ble Boys in 1964?

So gifted so humble with a real witty sense of humour, but his playing far exceeded everything, absolutely wonderful man see sadly and sorely missed god bless him .

He was technically much more advanced than he is given credit for.

I don’t know who you listen to but you may want to listen to Lee Ritenour’s interview with Wes Montgomery’s son. Twice in that interview Lee referred to Chet as one of the top 5 players ever. Chet Atkins was a phenomenal musician who had 99% of those Rolling Stones best players in his back pocket.

Doing these these three, four finger tremeloes are difficult to keep from making them sound like a gallop, Haa difficult

To master the tremolo takes several years and some guidance from someone to give pointers who has already mastered the style. I have been playing for over 60 years and you never stop learning. Chet spent a lifetime and learned them all.

@@Guitar11player With the highest respect, tremolo does NOT take "years" to master. Any 18 year old university freshman who majors in Applied Music / Classical Guitar is expected to play an abstract tremolo pattern at at east 160 to 180 B.P.M. for three minutes. A teacher with a significant teaching methodology can take an 8 year old or 40 year old who has never touched a guitar and have them playing tremolo in at a minimum 144 BPM - - within six weeks. That is why there is a generation of 12 year old to 24 year old classical guitarists who can play circles around what Segovia only thought he could do "in his prime". :)

Absolutely precious footage. One of the best to ever pick up a guitar.

Chet will always be among my most cherished and favorite guitar players/soloists. Chet Atkins in Hollywood (released 1959) caught my attention when I saw the album sitting in the pile of records back in 1964. I was just 8 years old then. I started music at the age of 4. That's nearing 66 years ago. I had a very musical family and they liked different genres of music. The album cover was his guitar overlooking the city and not the one with the woman in it. That was apparently an alternative cover introduced later. I remember taking the album out and see this dog beside a gold'ish gramophone which was RCA Victor/Records at the time. RCA would later merge to become BMG - (Sony BMG Music Entertainment). I recall RCA Records giving me a call at 7am in the morning asking if they could hold onto my demo cassette. I was an adult then and was sending out demos. This was when they told me they were also going to be merging to BMG. Nothing ever became of my music and I am ok with that as the experience was exciting anyway. I even got to speak directly with the CEO of MCA Records. He had given me a slew of pointers and direction. He was a very kind, patient, and thoughtful gentleman. Ahhh, those were the days I must say. I would later go onto musicians as Jimmy Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin, Randy Rodes of Black Sabbath, etc. Nowadays, I am more into calm, melodic, and relaxing music (orchestral) and modern music such as ambient with its lush sound pads. Thanks for posting this tune and for the great memories!

I think Solo Flights and Chet Picks on the Beatles are 2 of the best albums Chet ever produced although some of his early 1960s albums were killer also! 1st Chet song that made me want to learn guitar was in 1963 when I heard Freight Train by this guitar master.
