Chet Atkins guitar hero. I saw him once and it was magic. I was about 6 rows away and when he did his solo portion of the show it was guitar heaven. I was riveted to every note he played with a big smile on my face and soul.

Great finger tapping solo over that I IV V progression. JUst like EVH's, Hot for Teacher. Although this performance was many years before that. I wonder where he got that groove?

Paul Yandell was probably never given enough credit.

Well, there's not much to say. Two masters of the guitar, Chet and his partner Paul Yandell. When you listen it's sometimes hard to tell the difference. Chet is playing the Gibson Country Gentleman which he helped develop after leaving Gretsch. Equally well sounding.

He’s the Perry Como of guitarists. The notes just hang.

I cannot imagine there will ever be a sweeter better more tasteful purer sound than Chet. He doesn’t play. The guitar just plays itself. You hear no player. Just the notes. Effortless.

For some reason I keep coming back to this video, it’s not just his unbelievable talent, it’s also the man himself, he is difficult, an individual, sort of unreachable.

My dad used to play this at square dances in the USA (down south)! Thought I'd google a steel guitar version of the song & see what I'd find . . . HOLY COW YOU ARE GOOD!!! Absolutely great! I never dreamed I'd hear a version like this (unbelievable!) from an Englishman who most likely has never been to a Saturday night square dance at a VFW Hall where the Orange Blossom Special is practically their National Anthem (nothing political intended)!!! ...signed, not Bob Gross Music, Bob's wife, Linda . . . but Bob loved it too!!

I had a Tommy album years ago. I knew him through a mutual friend when he was still living in Florida. I’m glad I did because I know he can play beautifully and stylistically. Without that history I would’ve thought he was just another trying to show how incredibly fast he could play. These two selections showed that, but neither is particularly pleasing. I doubt that Chet could have played Black Mountain Rag this fast, but his version was more enjoyable. This reminds me of Buster B Jones. I know he, too, could also play with great style, but he was better known for just playing wicked fast.

Got to work with Tommy at Boots Club a few years before this but on that very stage!! Tommy was one of the most talented and genuinely nicest people you would ever what to meet!! I was working with Eddie Seals and Joe Grant backing Boots during that time. Tommy would come up and play his part and we would back him! What a Joy that was. The Drummer and I instantly connected with Tommy, musically and friendship wise!! I'm just so sorry he never got his due!! Tommy is forever missed!! Those days were so special!
