Nokie edwards is the greatest most handsome guitar player & the very best...

[@nerradnosnhoj5122]

Nokie is the GOAT !!!! , Many greats were inspired by Nokie Edwards , Im disabled and trying to learn Guitar , I am amazed by the sound Nokie creates on guitar with his style The true master ,

[@googleboy7]

Nokie Edwards changed my life. I idolized him. My dad bought me a 1963 Fender Jaguar. I learned to play well enough to start a band and paid my way through school. I Met my wife of 53 years through playing. Have played in churches for 30 years. No pay, but the retirement plan is out of this world! I hope to meet him one day in Heaven and thank him for the countless lives, like mine, he influenced for the better. And maybe get to pick a tune or two with him. 😊 Shalom/gw

[@charlesnicholson8769]

Same here I have watched him play for years and now that he is playing with the Boys in heaven . I know that our creator is very pleased to have him on board ❤❤❤

[@googleboy7]

@charlesnicholson8769 HI Charles, Great to hear from you! Thanks for writing. Nice to know there are others who share my love for the music of those times and the people who performed it. It was good, decent and well, "magic". My fondest and earliest memories are of my dad playing his 1947 Gibson. I started showing an interest in playing when I was thirteen years old. A steel worker from a PA coal town, money was tight, to say the least. But dad "hocked his soul" and bought me a 1963, Sunburst Jaguar. I wouldn't put it down? Drove my family nuts! I cut my musical teeth on The Ventures songs. I learned to play in a year and started a band. Take care and keep pickin'! Shalom/gw. PS We had the best cars and the best music. ;-))

[@longmayurun58]

This is a great post. You're a good man.

My favorite guitar picker. Keep playing in heaven you will be cherished there to. ❤

[@KenWhitson777]

Nokie moved to Yuma, Az a while back, and passed away in March of 2018. He lived next to the drummer of the band I still play in. He invited us all into his home, and he and his wife couldn’t have been more gracious! When he passed, his wife asked our drummer to help clear out things so she could sell the house. I was given his 6 instrument guitar stand, a nice poster, and a box full of guitar wall mounts that I presume were for sale at one time. I listened to the Ventures as a kid, but didn’t realize what a great player he was. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Rider-hh9it]

Nice comment and thanks for sharing. But, the Nokie Edwards of the 1960’s eventually blossomed into the player we respect so much. Nokie became the Chet Atkins of his style after decades of hard work. His style, tone and movements reveal to me influences from the best and he put it all together to do his own thing. He was a great player!

[@judybailey-ur5iz]

I wish i could have met nokie & his wife i idolize his fantasic the way he plays the guitar was awesome he had his owen style for sure he put his all into his picking ...

[@davesegal7539]

Absolutely flawless playing. I’m seriously floored by Nokie’s talent. With this type of playing, it’s beyond easy to make a mistake that’s obvious and it’s been absolutely perfect. Rest easy, Nokie!

[@bigbass421]

A band I used to work with, played a week long gig in a casino up in Florence, Oregon many years ago. Nokie's band headlined on the weekend, and we opened. I was stoked to meet him, being a big Ventures fan as a teen. He couldn't have been nicer. It was also I believe his 74th. Birthday that weekend. He was kind enough to autograph two of my basses. I'm also a Luthier and guitar repairman.. I can tell you- that flamed maple Mosrite shaped guitar, was HEAVY. Rest In Peace, Nokie.

[@Charlotte-wp9rf]

Wow! I played Steel Guitar Rag when I was 10, started age 9, 78 years ago. I still have the guitar and it has aged well. Odd thing is, I played it in key of E also. I will never get close to his talent. Greatest guitar man ever. RIP Mr Guitar man.

[@clark3830]

I miss my friend Nokie and his wife Judy. he was so nice to everyone. I wish I had bought one of his Hitchhikers. I still have my Ventures metallic red Mosrite signed by Wilson and shipped to me.

[@mikearabia4030]

I had the pleasure of meeting Nokie in 2010. He was a great picker and a wonderful guy.

[@bobcounihan5042]

What guitar player does not owe this man a bow. He is the guitar god that started it all. He just plays so well. It is from another time. He is in the class of the greats. How many records did he sell? Likely more than any other guitarist. Not sure but it is a huge number. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@jayantamaiti6569]

Nokie Edward is a guitar wizard. His performance on stage speaks volume of his versatility in playing music of different genres with equal aplomb. When his fingers ply along the finger board, the audience can expect some creative rendition for granted. I miss Nokie so much that I want to relive him by listening to everything he created.

[@burgie4241]

As a young guitarist, decades ago, my playing friend and I worshiped the Ventures. I am absolutely blown away how good he is-- I think even better now than when he played with the Ventures. He is still fantastic.

[@johnschick5827]

Never got the attention he deserved! Just a fabulous guitarist.

[@joannebeauchamp1169]

Nokie Edwards set the bar extremely high for pure guitar playing professionalism! There will never be another one like him! 👍👍👍👍😂

[@jimzeleny7213]

Ten minutes into this video and he hasn't made a single mistake. This man was influential to literally thousands of guitarists. No pedals, distortion or echo effects and used just one guitar. Sorry that we won't be able to see any more of this talented humble player.

[@HJFRD]

He was the mentor of my favorite musician, Danny Hamilton. Danny became an excellent guitarist thanks to The Ventures. They were all humble, and I'm glad they always were. Perhaps they aren't as remembered as other famous artists with less talent, but we will always have their lasting contribution to the best music.

I saw him at the Birchmere in Alexandria Va with the Ventures in 2012. Awesome show, he was unbelievable. RIP Nokie!!

[@likhound]

Every lick he played on the guitar was done with incredibly good taste.

[@jaliyawick]

The BEST guitarist ever. There'll never be another guitarist like Nokie. He was the master of strings and a natural. Ventures became my favorite group almost 60 years ago and still get goosebumps every time I listen to them! They were the best I'll listen to them until I die! RIP Nokie and the rest of the Ventures who are all gone sadly 😥

[@lorihaun9956]

His guitar was so beautiful! I grew up with one of his nieces. I got to meet him in person a couple of times and he autographed my guitar case and a 12 string fender guitar. I played my guitar so much that the autograph faded. He was an amazing person!

Nokie has been my mentor since 1962. So many albums, too many genres to mention, both his and the Ventures albums. He vary seldom used effects or modulation. His memorization of countless scores was amazing. I'll stop here, could go on for hours. If you play a guitar, you do not want to miss his countless techniques. Thanks for posting this little taster!!

Well now it seems the Japanese are tasked with producing our Instrumentals . You have your work cut out for you but you also have some really good musicians .

[@flyingbeaver57]

The Ventures was one of the first (and one of the best) Rock & Roll bands I heard in the 1960's, and Nokie's playing is always, in my mind, a part of that distinctive sound. We didn't have TV where I grew up, so all the music I was exposed to came via the radio, and I was always glad to hear Nokie and the Ventures. I became a career musician, but didn't pick up a guitar until I was in my 50's. Nokie was one of three finger-sytle players whose sound I could recognize right off, the others being Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins. After getting my thumb bunged up, I adopted using a thumb pick after seeing Nokie using one at a live performance. It's good to hear him playing in this show - we're both a little older now, but Nokie is just as enjoyable now as ever. Thanks for posting this.

Nokie Edwards was by far the best on leadguitar, but I also like Gerry McGee and Bob Spalding. The thing about The Ventures is that bass and lead could switch very easy, with Don Wilson and Mel (later Leon Taylor) as the backbone of the band.
