I took my grandson to see Chet in 1999. I asked Chet what advice he would give this young guitar player. He said “Do something else for a living and play guitar for fun “. He’s now a doctor and plays for fun. Thanks Chet for your words of wisdom for my grandson.

@Sabah Zarid Hey man, if you want to play then play. Let it out. If you're not happy otherwise, find a way to alleviate the weights of your world. The best inspiration, I've found, is happiness. It could be love or anything really.

Just look how jubilant and happy Tommy is. This is what we should all strive for. Not a hint of pretension or ego, just joy and respect of the moment. This is why he captivates me, even more so than his guitar playing, he's a good soul. You don't see to many reach his age and keep that spirit.

My father introduced me to Chet's music early in my life. He was a jazz guitarist and began playing at age 4. He left me long ago but instilled in me the importance of respecting one's elders. I pay homage to Chet's work ethic . Very few are aware that Chet battled cancer for the last 25 years of his life. Don't know of a single instance of him cancelling an appearance. Also notable is Chet's efforts to introduce Tommy Emmanuel to his fans. We honor Chet and those he honored.

Two of the finest to ever play a guitar. That must have felt so special for TE as CA was his guitar hero. I love the look that Chet gives around 2:12 to Tommy as does a little lick. Chet was impressed, I think and that is a special moment. I feel bad that I've only recently discovered more of the genius of Chet Atkins but also the late, great Jerry Reed. Tommy, Chet and Jerry Reed are very special players.

I was just reading the response from Larry23116. He hit the nail right on the head. Chet was responsible for so many rookies becoming stars that it's hard to count them. And he did it from the goodness of his heart and the intelligence of his brain knowing talent when he heard it. My hat's always been off to him for all the good he's done. And no one can come up with any bad that he's done. Pretty remarkable life for a great man. God rest his soul forever and ever. I miss you, my friend.
