That's a fact...👍

[@chazzmichaelmichaels5766]

So under rated, it is a crime! Jerry is the kind of guy you could see sitting on a porch with the boys and be happier than if he was playing in Carnegie hall!

What an exceptionally talented and humble man. His personality was incomparable

Jerry Reed also helped Scooby Doo solve a mystery! Chet and Roy never did that! :)

[@gonzalvedecordoue5486]

He can sing, he can act and he can play like the god of guitar.

I’ve never heard a Jerry Reed song that was less than exceptional!

[@capsortee]

wait i thought this was a Hank Garland track?

[@rockinredneck57]

​@capsortee absolutely a Hank Garland song. I think Red Foley put the words to it.

[@aaronb6727]

And I don't think anyone had more fun.

[@JohnVogel561]

Jerry Reed just always seemed happy. One of the top five guitarists ever.

[@JDShellnut39]

Look at all the Peavey T-60s here tonight!!!

[@catboyzee]

Triple Peavey T60s. Only a player of Jerry Reed's caliber could make that a hip and cool sounding thing. Respect and RIP.

[@rockinredneck57]

According to bass player, Dave Doesn't, Peavey was handing out instruments left and right to the players then. Turns out Jerry liked them.

[@rockinredneck57]

That's Dave Roe. YT needs an edit option.

[@jimdep6542]

Waylon, Skynyrd , Scotty Moore , and a lot of other great players were using Peavey's back then. They sounded good and very road reliable.

[@42lookc]

Aww man, Jerry, you were the best, son!

Triple guitar is great. When done well.

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

Peavey should have used this for a TV commercial ! Nice collection of T-60s ! Jerry Reed was one cool guitar player !

[@wrenchhead4378]

Yea i agree totally... the man could have had any guitars he wanted and he played peaveys for a while

[@deemdoubleu]

I've got a Peavey T-15 I think it is somewhere, nice little guitar.

[@jimdep6542]

Wow ! Very tight band , great arrangement and nice seeing all those great Peavey amps lined up behind these legends !

I met Jerry in person late 1989/90 at the Oklahoma state fair rodeo.. I knocked on his dressing room door and when it opened I presented my gf and her big boobs with her cowboy hat on,I quickly got a photo with them together,he was nice but was high as a kite RIP Jerry very talented one of a kind..

[@timothyplonk4266]

My favorite country guitar player.

[@mikemagnum7987]

That Peavey T-60 guitar was a heavy son of a gun, but remains one of the best sounding all around guitars that was ever produced! To bad the kid ruined the company.... Jerry Reed is in the top ten ten guitar players of all time in my book. The so-called guitar players now-a-days wouldn't hold a candle to the real players who played clean without all the gimmicks. We have a few today that are good, but not GREAT!

[@chipperdave6833]

Listen to John 5,Daniel Donato,King Fish, there’s a lot of great guitar players today . You just gotta find em.

[@atomicrocker]

Yes, the T-60 was so heavy, that I rather decided to forget the beast and not to buy it about 27 years ago.

[@12carnations]

Can't play it like Hank Garland though. But Yes, we do love Jerry.

[@INvertPb4Life]

i love old peavey guitars and basses, they play great

[@larrykitzmiller103]

I had a Peavey T60. Wish I kept it. Traded it in for a LesPaul. It was heavey but versatile. I should've traded my other guitar instead.

[@coffee-xg6my]

Jerry was wondering how old the song was. It was written by Hank Garland and Vaughn Horton and originally recorded by Garland in 1949. Red Foley's record listed Vaughn Horton as George Vaughn. (George Vaughn Horton was his full name).

[@Wildkat-1]

R I P ...Jerry ...!

[@grazyhorse8910]

So awesome

[@infoscholar5221]

He was playing Peavey P-60 guitar that the maker was paying him to play; they didn't catch on. Observe his whole band playing them, they are more one-note, sonically from Fenders. He was such a genius, you hardly notice.

I use to have a T-60 in the early 80's and a Nashville 400 amp.

[@DJK-cq2uy]

That's enlightening. Thanks for sharing. We can all sleep at peace now

[@jimbonacum8917]

You can recognize the guitar players in the comments because they are the ones giving props to the Peavey T60. Most guitarists play a Fender or a Gibson but the T60 was a great and highly under appreciated instrument. You can still snag one for a reasonable price.

[@FYMASMD]

When you get them for free, plus support on tour with amp repair, yeah they can work. I’ll take my telecaster any day of the week over the peavey.

[@kevfullo]

You can recognise what year from which brand they are all playing. I have a soft spot for the Aria Pro II era :-)

[@jimbonacum8917]

@@kevfullo OMG! Many many years ago, when I was a young fellow I worked for a company that distributed Aria pro II instruments. They were quite good actually. They were manufactured in Japan. The most popular model was the “ Knightwarrior” which was a superstrat with a humbucker in the bridge and a Kahler tremolo. But the real treasure was a bass with active electronics called the SB-1000. They are still out there and they play and sound great!

Brought to you by Peavey guitars. 😂 They sound wicked. I’d love to pick up one of those. Probably using Peavey amps too if they’ve got the endorsement deal.

[@superprocrastination]

I counted seven peavey amps. Five behind the guitarists, one behind the bass player, and one by the keyboardist.

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

Looks like they're all playing Peavey t60 models if im not mistaken. Very cool for peavey

JD-totally underated, most know him from his acting(which was excellent)-using the Peavey which was actually a decent guitar-I remember an interview where Clapton(Rolling Stone late 1960's) said there were 100's of guys down south who were better that him.

Hank Garland co-wrote it and recorded it in 1949 Jerry! C'mon you shoulda known that. LOL

[@thomaspruit4818]

I will tell you a secret, but true story, my father gave Hank Garland Guitar Boogie and Sugar foot rag,my mom wouldn't allow my father to go anywhere to play or promote his music, so Hank Garland was about 15 years old when my father returned from ww2 and both taught Hank how to play guitar and gave Hank these two amazing instrumentals, but no one else on earth could ever play as well even near the talent my father had,and l don't believe anyone on earth will ever play as good as my father, am telling straight truth 💙, even Chet Atkins couldn't even tie my father's shoes when it comes to music, my father played better than anyone l have ever heard and this is straight truth!!!!!!!!

[@Fretlessness]

Whoah what did they have a Peavey endorsement or what?

[@rockinredneck57]

According to bass player, Dave Roe, Peavey brought a truck load of gear for them to use. No endorsement deal needed.
