I was lucky enough to see Chet alongside Jethro Burns in Orange County Ca. Probably in 1984. I was 17 at the time. My friends and I went up early and got to the venue about 3 o’clock. We found an open door and went in. It was all dark but saw it was the backstage area behind the stage. We could hear playing and went in further to find Chet and Jethro sitting and practicing. We were pretty timid standing back just listening and Chet said “come on over boys” so we stood there aghast asking questions and talking with them about 20 minutes or so. Chet asked if we had tickets and we said not yet. He says “well I’ll get you you boys in”. They then said they had to do a soundcheck and he let us sit in the front to watch… asking us “ how’s it sound out there , is it too loud” etc. such a one of a kind experience we had by the ever gracious Chet and Jethro! So we saw the show with the seats he comped us and went backstage after the show and said thanks and had him sign some of our albums and concert program. Chet then said goodbye and got in his shuttle not before tossing his cigar. I waited till he left and grabbed that thing and smoked it! I kept the rest of it along with the flatpick he gave me which I still have along with the ticket stub. Thank you Chet!

Don't Listen to people talk. He was raised in the countryside in a valley where radio stations were only local hillbilly music. Taught himself, Tal Farlow was an influence, Scruggs and Flatt, people like that, but Farlow was NYC jazz, so there's that. Then he played a little live radio, and traveling "Merry makers" with Real Hick, Cornpone musicians who hated his "Fancy Chords" that dumbfounded Local Yokels. So he moved to Nashville and made it into something cause it had one recording studio. Leastwise, that's what I heard.

My dad worked for Marcel Dadi, Chet's protégé in France. He was responsible for Marcel's guitar shop. He opened it so his parents could have an occupation - both Marcel and Chet were very rich men, Marcel especially was a ridiculously successful entrepreneur - but my dad did all the work behind the scenes. He said that every great guitar that came in during this time, from the original Fender Thinline 1963 (which he still own!) to one of the custom Yamaha for which each part was made by a different luthier in Japan (can't remember the model, apparently my dad said it was the finest guitar he had even witnesses in his life!) passed through my dad's hands. He bought quite a lot of them for himself, and had a collection of over 30 different ones. Chet and Marcel weren't big collectors, or so I've heard. Marcel didn't mind. 25 years later, when my dad came back to France, he went to 5 different guitar shops and was *instantly* recognized as if he had never ever leaved and it was the most natural thing in the world. I was 9 years old. Marcel tragically died in an airplane accident. He was the happiest man ever and everyone loved him. RIP Marcel and Chet, two of the greatest players and men of all time!

Atkins is a masterful fingerstyle player and in this is offering what we classical types call a theme and variations--he introduces the tune then repeats it in increasingly more complex and virtuosic versions. I don't know if there is anything on record of Atkins playing a classical instrument and interpreting any of the classical or flamenco repertoire, but he no doubt could hold his own alongside the classical masters (Segovia, Bream, Parkening, Tennant, etc.) if he ever did!

Best use of cross-picking, a Bigsby vibrato, and the adaptation of a Russian folk song to an American C&W audience. No wonder RCA handed him the keys to the kingdom! 🎸

At his peak he was greatest. He's been surpassed. He definitely set a nice standard though. Down to the use of the dynamics - polished :) The audience can't even tell when the imitators don't use dynamics they just hear fast guitar picking heh
