3 Jerry Reed Licks From 1979

[@thejamnasium6447]

I was talking to my buddy the other day who had NO idea that Jerry Reed could play guitar. and not just play guitar, but was one of the best guitar players of all time. he was stunned.

[@theanvil8009]

I was a Jerry Reed fan since I was a kid. My dad was a truck driver so you know he took us to see Smokey and the Bandit when it came out. I didn't even know he was a musician until I saw him on Hee Haw. I always get funny looks when I'm in a discussion with people about great guitarists when I mention Jerry Reed but I tell them to really listen to his playing and it can't be denied that he was a great guitarist. I think his comedic nature is the reason his guitar skills get over looked but that's one of the things I like about him, he looks like he's having a blast while performing. RIP Snowman

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Glen Campbell … awesome players

[@johnwilliams1223]

My three favorite guitar players from those days.

[@sixslinger9951]

don't forget Buck Owens.

[@bartpike441]

I don’t usually comment on Jerry Reed videos, although I love seeing them through everyone of his band, but I love this one in particular and saved it. Also, I was his bass player for many years. Thank you for sharing this and keeping his memory alive and also remember he was a cartoon character. He was on Scooby Doo lol

[@mathewpybus1599]

I love how diverse the musical influences are on this channel and that alone makes this one of the better channels on KZbin, thanks for another wicked awesome video David!

[@tinman4585]

I never knew of Jerry until Smokey and the bandit. I was a heavy metal guy until You Tube My God what I’ve been missing

[@climbtibet]

Jerry went to my church; the guy was a total badass. RIP Jerry !

[@marcjordan29]

Eastbound and down.. Loaded up and trucking! Awesome!

[@oreally8605]

Look at that Tele!!!! The Rhythm guitarist choice! Betcha she's set up perfectly!

[@whiskeywhiskeyromeo3730]

Jerry could lay it down.....all over tv in 70s

[@JReb71]

The Guitar Man . The Claw he was an unbelievable guitar player he was a player in every sense . Love his music great sense of humor too

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

I AM JUST SO ENTHRALLED WITH YOUR PLAYING AND VIDEO'S..I THINK THAT YOU AND I ARE CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH.. JUST A PHENOMENAL GUITARIST 🎸 YOU ARE.. THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOADING OF YOUR VIDEO'S....

[@zeke7142003]

In an interview of Glenn Campbell he basically said he could play just about everything but had some trouble on some of Jerry's stuff.

[@chiparooo]

East Bound and Down is one of my favorites from Jerry. I always enjoyed watching him as a kid too. Thanks for sharing!

[@eliotoole]

Son!!! What a great episode. The original guitar man.

[@whiskeywhiskeyromeo3730]

Lol.....Son!!!!..... A Jerry go to.....

[@andyracksthecams]

Love Jerry Reed. He is my idol.

[@rtaylor1105]

Jerry Reed! nice!

[@stevecarbol7788]

You, Sir, are a badass. You're a talented guitarist, teacher, and avid student of a diverse range of music. I appreciate what you do. Thank you.

[@jasonpitts8395]

Awesome thx David. I have always admired Pete Anderson from the old Dwight Yoakum albums. To my ear Pete was doing things that no one else was doing.

[@mikeb1589]

Thanks for the great lesson. I love Jerry Reed’s playing.

[@TwistedSMF]

I was born in 1969. So first time I ever seen Jerry was in Smokey and the Bandit. My Dad watched Hee Haw all the time. But I honestly had no idea that was him on guitar until many years later. LOL

[@midnightflyer7510]

Yup, born February’69. My grandfather took me to see Smokey and the Bandit while vacationing in Florida. Loved Jerry and Burt together. I was a fan ever since!

[@TwistedSMF]

@@midnightflyer7510 Same. Loved the Bloopers at the end. You seen a lot of his sense of humor "That's right...Now what do I say..." LOL Last time I remember him was in Waterboy. Funny in that one also!

[@billlegakis9155]

If we could only have music like that again..Jerry was a genius.

[@STAMPER-DESIGN]

Great lesson, thank you!

[@martymooney8099]

Great choice David thank you for giving ol Jerry a whirl. Jerry's Breakdown is my favorite tune by him. The man was a legend one of Chet's certified guitar players 🤘🤘✌️🖖

[@slapwagon]

knocked it out of the park again Dave!

[@ajporter7487]

Jerry was one bad ass musician. Guitar Man is awesome

[@RagingHillbilly]

Yep. Legend. He and Roy Clark were my earliest guitar heroes and got me playing. Lots of great musicians that aren't entertaining. Lots of great entertainers that aren't musicians. Jerry Reed (Hubbard) was that rare combination of great musician and great entainer. When I'm in Nashville I try to go by and pay my respects to him. Thank you for sharing. Great video and picking.

[@jeffreyrivers1983]

Over an hour ago... I cams across Jerry Reed guitar vid... less than an hour... I came across BB King vid... talking about the time he gave me a pin... then you post a video with both men.

[@midiman5045]

Kool stuff thanks for the share.

[@tallpaul1020]

Jerry Reed was a master who made it look to easy all the while smiling. Incredible player. Watching him as a kid myself with Roy Clark, Chet Atkins etc. was fantastic. Alot of great playing and memories. Thx Dave great lesson. Keep up the great work 🎸

[@russellzauner]

"The Alabama Wildman" lol

[@wulfenii64]

Jerry Reed was amazing.

[@jamiegustkey2573]

Yeah… it’s pretty much over when you get Buck Owens, Roy Clarke and Jerry Reed together… And of course mix in the others you mention…. Oof- Guitar fun at its greatest!

[@yamahajapan5351]

Woooo! JR!

[@uncleremus5046]

Been waiting for this 🍺’ski. Jerry Reed also wrote great guitar pieces for Chet Atkins. Campell, Reed, & Atkins just killer players! TY again

[@TyroneNorthcutt]

Greg Koch's playing reminds me of Jerry Reid re-incarnated. They both just seem to have a ton of fun doing what they do and it seems completely effortless even when they get complex and their simple stuff seems complex until you break it down. Great job. love your stuff.

[@karst41]

I grew up listening toJerry. One night he played Strutin . I was like ok i go t this, he left me in the dust so fast. Man my jaw just dropped!

[@bmoraski]

Love it. Its amazing how many country guitarist's of old are true master musicians.

[@greg77hot]

Thanks Dave ...perfect timing ... just got my Tele back .

[@vancedean9699]

Another monster guitarist. Thanks for all the amazing lessons my friend

[@mikeivey8471]

Jerry Reed is truly "Da Man" !!! Not only a great guitar player / musician / entertainer , but he had a great personality that just drug you into whatever he was doing !!! Thanks for this !!!

[@scottconey5922]

This guy's a good teacher. Thumbs up!

[@cookie13spike]

Awesome thanks! I saw Tommy Emmanuel last night at Sydney Opera house and he mentioned Jerry many times during the performance as a huge influence!

[@serenitynow66]

Awesome stuff David keep rocking brother. Jery brushed shoulders with the legends Chet Atkins, Kristoffer Kristofferson etc etc etc!!!!1

[@jamessator5564]

Very cool……thanks Dave 🤘🏼👍

[@sandymush7163]

Jerry Reed was the best.

[@jrsmoots]

Nicely done!

[@easter_sunday]

Hey Sensei Dave! I’m on vacation and there’s a bunch of hillbilly red neck types in my facility! Thank you sir!

[@bradwalz109]

Make it count SON!

[@tomcowan374]

Wow David I too loved the Snowman from the Smoky and the Bandit movie and then heard his badassery on guitar. Great lesson as usual. I love your channel .

[@THEDOGSBALL]

Thank you for your great work,Chris.

[@Gold---Mole]

Hey, would love to see an episode on Nile Rodgers!

[@loosieclocker]

You cannot exceed my need for Jerry Reed

[@tonymcnamara9368]

First time I heard of Jerry Read was in the smokey and the bandit movies. I later learned he played on the Elvis Presley song guitar man. Brilliant guitarist, and singer.

[@CAllenBlack]

The most amazing thing to me about Jerry Reid is the song he wrote and played, Guitar Man. I love his music though, recommend listening to the song Amos Moses guitar part is killer! Then you have East Bound and Down from the movie I saw about 8 times at the theater as a 12 year old. When your hot your hot, She got the Gold Mine I got the shaft.

[@thejamnasium6447]

dude the video of Jerry playing Lightning Rod is the best guitar video on youtube

[@leftyzappa]

Dude. Jerry has always been one of my favourites too. A mystery as well. More of this please! I think we are the same age too man. East Bound and Down and She Got the Goldmine are the first two songs I heard from him. Guitar Man. His and Elvis’ version 😊

[@davidbaron8330]

Reed, Glen Campbell, and Roy Clarke were all fantastic players.

[@wildriverguitarlockdownlic110]

Really brilliant David, thanks ❤

[@mykneeshurt8393]

How do people get so damn good? He has been amazing since day one.. Great lesson!

[@awguitarroom8033]

That second lick is gold

[@jaygooch1190]

When Chet Atkins says you're great you are great

[@kennethmclellan]

😊 your one cool dude teacher , inspiring mellow approach ,breaking the licks down , letting you know the notes etc ,great idea also using the looper pedal ,thankyou for the inspiration

[@PGU13BHEI]

Jerry’s right hand technique was something that influenced my playing. The Glen Campbell show, Hee Haw, Roger Miller, etc were a part of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s for a lot of us. That’s why some of us play guitar, because of the great players and personalities that we saw on television. Jerry was a guy that was confident and cocky while being entirely disarming and entertaining. Chet was obviously the most revered of all the players that were on these shows. A guest appearance from Chet was a big deal for us, and everyone else. Roy Clark was the player that my Dad wanted me to emulate. He played the local clubs in the Baltimore/Washington area. I don’t think my Dad ever saw him live because he didn’t go to bars, but he knew of him somehow. Looking back, what a wonderful thing it was to have the opportunity to see these players every week. A major influence on my entire life. Thank you Dave for showcasing a few of Jerry’s licks. You had to have the entire package to appreciate Jerry. It was his delivery, his attitude, and his sense of humor that made him a star.

[@shanebrbich5698]

Speaking of “crazy flamenco strumming “ check out Alan Haynes’s style! He owns it! Great video mate! 👍🇦🇺

[@leechild4655]

Ya Jerry was like a court jester of country guitar. Funny as heck and could play some amazing things on the guitar.

[@mysticcynic9718]

Hey Dave. Great episode. Danny Gatton?

[@dominicsofield393]

Jerry reed did some studio work for Elvis Presley. Elvis recorded some of his songs, U.S. male, Big &. Big boss man. He was a great picker. He made it look easy. Great lesson. Have you ever done a lesson for James Burton? Another great guitarist.

[@kevinhumphryes9756]

Have you done a video on Keith Scott?

[@babagadoush1]

Man your my favorite channel!

[@frooke2]

L...O...V...E... Love IT! :)

[@robertstotts2343]

Pretty Marie sunlight on Scooby Doo episode. I met Jerry Reed in Vegas True Master player

[@johnnyrocco]

Jerry Reed was the real deal for sure and a great guy to boot. A story about him not backing down to Elvis and his boss Colonel Parker about signing away his credits for a song Elvis was doing of Jerry's called, guitar man. Not many people could say no to the King and live to talk about it.

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

Great choice, Jerry Reed has long been a favorite of mine as well. These days I think he and Glen Campbell are more known for their hits, which is a shame. They were two of the best pickers of their time.

[@MBedell-VA]

More Jerry Reed please!

[@PonziZombieKiller]

Snowman...

[@tomcowan374]

Hee Haw! Roy Clark throws down!

[@squirrelseer]

Great video! Would you ever make a jj cale episode? I know he's not exactly like some of the other guys you've covered but! Still a great player

[@davemowers7827]

So, so good man. EVERYTHING is so serious nowadays, if you’re looking for fun try out some Corb Lund, he’s my Jerry Reed of today, not as much Foghorn Leghorn MCing with the audience. But… HE IS FUN!!! Thanks Brewster for all the great content. 💪

[@russellzauner]

At some point we're going to get to Buster B Jones...also, the last video I watched of Jerry Reed he was going so hard he needed two footstools, no lie. Now I need a montage of all the pickers doing "blowin' in the wind", because somehow that seems to be a common thread.

[@nibla17]

Do some videos on Glen Campbell!

[@anthonyfox1436]

Cool man

[@burnedoutgolfer]

Hot damn! 😁

[@thejamnasium6447]

have you ever done a Jerry Garcia licks video?

[@normanwhaley3024]

Still waiting for a episode on the great Johnny Marr

[@patcom1013]

Amos Moses is another great lick - 'chicken pickin' I think he called it.

[@gotmilk91]

I somehow mainly remember Jimmy Reed gettin beatin-up by a bike gang, stumbles to his big-rig w/black eye, starts his engines, laughs and proceeds to run over the gang's bikes... could be Smokey and the Bandit? Cannonball Run? Or a Kris Kristofferson movie? 🤔😄

[@turkeeg7644]

We got a long way to go and a short time to get there.

[@ramboweed5169]

Guitar man.....and the claw tuning

[@adampoe2797]

I'm thinking it was HeeHaw grew up with the show, Scooby Doo , and Smokey:)

[@svbarr]

Jerry Reed played clean only tiny amounts of tube amp distortion - even on hard core stuff like Amos Moses. Why does everyone who teaches on KZbin add fuzzy distortion to everything??

[@ericriggs501]

That's all he got left 'cause alligator bit it Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow..................

[@godbyone]

I bet Steve Gaines liked him. U can hear. I know a little influence all over it

[@mcclellanjim5089]

His playful nature was so refreshing compared to guitar players who seem to believe being godlike is cool...it ain't..know what's cool? Reed....Brewster...

[@anthonyfowler2623]

Who

[@duncanballantyne7676]

you can play, or you can play

[@Route66Wanderer]

Blah, blah, blah, first lick start’s at 2:50 You’re welcome.

[@stanky9875]

Remember when Jerry was in metallica??? Certainly Metallicas best years.🤘

[@FB-gm6el]

just say outright that "this video is a gofundme for a new pump".

[@FB-gm6el]

your tone in this instance kinda sucks, sorry. it's flubby and clipped. needs punch. you can't "model" that tone in, you have to play clean and really snap the strings with authority. try say a tiny terror with the gain dialed way back, to like 10 o'clock, with reverb. nice CME shirt btw!
