He was a good ol boy that loved what he did. My family use to sit around pickin music and everyone was cracking jokes and smilin and laughing the whole time. Jerry would have fit right in.
My dad and his family used to watch Hee Haw back when I was a kid and I thought it was just some country bumpkins etc. Little did i know in hindsight or retrospect that I was being exposed to some of the most talented musicians on the planet. Even a lot of heavy metal guitarists claim chet as a guitar influence. I personally think Roy is a genius all around. Wish i had 10% of his talent and I'd still be a premiere talent
I agree with you he haw along with Lawrence Welk we remain stay at our house. I put up with hehaa because of the girls! Now that I am in my 50s I wish I could go back and watch them all again.
I was working in a home couple years ago and noticed the older man was listening to really good music every day.as we started talking,his wife mentioned that they were in roy clarks band on Hee Haw.looked on youtube and there they were.the man was playing a tobacco finish Howard Roberts Custom guitar which he had just sold when i met him.
Chet Atkins was probably one of the very first artist I ever saw that did not learn so much what the instrument could do, but instead made the instrument do what HE wanted it to do. This is why it looks so effortless for him and still sounds so amazing. He pretty much ignored traditional limits on what guitar means and made it into art.
I always had the feeling that the boys were having as much fun playing as we had listening to them. Just one of the many reasons I loved their performances.
Wonderful. Amazing what TV was like back when I was a teenager. I went through Led Zep, Beatles and Stones, Jimi and all the rest. But I really got into these unlikely characters. Shredders, pickers laced with pure melodic playing. And silly jokes. Great time to be young. Chet's Don Maclean interpretation was spot on. Giants of their time indeed.
For me, Chet’s reputation as a virtuoso guitarist was always solid. Roy and Jerry were such consummate entertainers, the comedy occasionally overshadowed the brilliant musicianship. I mean, how can a guy this funny be this great a guitar player, too? Well, many years later, there is no more overshadowing! The best pickers to walk the earth.
@@stewartfenton7660 people who are already naturally humorous do seem to get even more comical on coke or speed, dunno how that works but just look at the cast of Saturday Night Live from the 70s-90s
When living in Nashville, I got to meet Chet at the HOF groundbreaking ceremony. Nice gentlemen who asked me more about my music when the ceremony was about him and others. Class Act. I have a signed placard I cherish. RIP 🙏💟🌈
I had occasion to meet Roy Clark one night in Vegas (quite by accident, actually). I excused myself, and explained I just wanted to thank him for the years of entertainment (as a musician, I know sometimes, you just don't want to spend the time, but do anyhow). He actually took a few minutes to talk with me and showed interest in my musical journey. He was very much what you see on the screen and on stage.
The fact that this is a piano piece, and he keeps it on piano form while playing it on a guitar... it's just masterful, and most people probably don't realize the talent that takes. Beautiful job!
Looks like Atkins had specialty fitted Roy Butts filtertrons on that Gibson es335ish he was playing. It doesn't make sense that Gibson put PAFs or similar pickups on everything else then, but I guess they had such a blues and rock following they could care less about clean. Only Roy Clark could get a decent clean tone out of PAFs. By the time these shows were aired in possibly the 70's, Gibson was raking in so much money from their les paul guitars (thanks to Jimmy Page), they could care less about their heritage of beautifully crafted hand carved hollowbodied guitars and clean tones. Perhaps few people had, like Atkins, noted the importance of choice of pickups on tone. IMO, Atkin's best unmuddied cleans (late 50's and early 60's) came out of a hollowbody Gretsch with filtertron pickups thru a (now) vintage Standel 25L15 tube amp. He never picked hard enough to break a fingernail
Don't know enough to comment on pickups, but my ex btlrother- in-law was the best R& B guitar player I ever saw. Never famous. He'd bought a Les Paul Custom which had unsatisfactory pickups. The local big music stores back then would, if you were a known player, let you take an instrument home for a try out. He borrowed one which had pickups he liked, swapped them out and returned the loaner on Monday. Not exactly honest, but they never noticed.
@@whimpypatrol5503 are you talking about the Gretsch with the filtertrons that Chet was playing or the Gibson Byrdland with the humbuckers that Roy was playing? Because Chet never played a Gibson in this video. Just curious….
From the heyday of guitar pickers. Great show, great guitarists. Admire Roy Clark, adore Chet Atkins simply Love Jerry Reed. When Jerry sings the sunshines through his voice. He was one of my favourite all time pickers. God bless them all for the music and making the world a better place.
All this time... few views, only one like? Well, I just doubled it. LOL... came here looking for some Roy Clark memories and discovered this. Kinda makes me feel old, I can remember seeing these amazing pickers in concerts back in the late 60's-70's. Three of the absolute best gone to pick in the Lord's house now. RIP for all three. Thanks for the memories
@@zelmoziggy I agree, just remember him sometimes more of the goofy acting parts he did in lieu of the genius musician he was. I think he wrote and composed the Smokey and the Bandit scores as well.
Three of the world’s most gifted, skillful musicians we’ve ever been graced with. Not enough adjectives in the English language to describe their talents. RIP boys 🎸🙏
Thank you for putting this out there Gene. These are some of the true guitar wizards that has inspired all of us guitar players around this rock we call earth.
Chet always had peaceful look on his face when he played. He never had a contorted look like some guitar players when they played something complicated.
Every few years I revist this genre and I just don't know why I let those years go by. Absolutely brilliant. I particularly love Roy, but that's a great bias decision to have to make.
Chet was always so smooth and percise in his playing of the guitar!

I love me some Chester!! One of the greatest guitar pickers of all time! Hee Haw we all grew up watching. Especially in the great Central San Joaquín Valley of California!
These guys had more talent in their pinky finger that the bums they call musicians in todays music. True artists and masters of their instruments. And the audience back then was more sophisticated listeners than today's crowd that has no attention span and can't sit still and listen to art. A sad day we live in.
There are some excellent musicians out there but you won't find them on most of what passes for radio today.Try Billy Strings,Molly Tuttle,A.J.Lee,Sierra Hull to name but a few.
I use to watch this show all the time when I was young. What great players these guys are. I dont know haw many are still alive but I was blessed to see them.
Don't forget Buck Owens! He could rip up a Telecaster as well as anyone! I got to meet Roy in '78. He was wonderful. I was just a dumb 19 yr. old and he was so warm and kind. He advised me to not rely on tuners as he said they had ruined his ability to tune by ear! Blessings L
TN, We still must thank them for being tone deaf & hitting the dislike button so many times on about every vid you see that YT has removed that stupid little button . Now we all can just enjoy great playing & they can all crawl back under the rocks they came from.
Mother Maybelle told Fred Rose, "If Chester can't come to Nashville with us, we aren't coming." Chester "Chet" Atkins came to Nashville and Nashville has never been the same.
Jerry Reed was what we call a country hippi back then. Look at way he dresses. Don't let him fool you. He was cool. These guys were the cream of the crop guitar players. Roy was a genius in his own right and could play anything. Hell all of them were genius and could play anything.
Roy Clark best guitarist banjo player in the world look and see video playing hard classical Spanish music Jerry Reed favorite all around musician actor and person
@@thjjojodesign Joe I think you speak of Maluguana Roy's Spanish tune. Roy's great but that song is all flash and speed and no intricate picking. I'm nobody and played it at 12 years of age. Not knockin' Roy, I love his contribution to Americana but Jerry had no peers until Tommy Emanuel who co-incidentally was also inspired by the great Chet. Tommy has raised the bar for all us would-be pickers.
Roy Clark is the most talented string player, guitarist of all time in my opinion. Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed are obviously awesome top notch players..these 3 are the best! RIP you guys! You must be having one helluva jam session up there!
don't forget Glen Campbell... Eddie Van Halen once asked Alice Cooper if he could get Glen to give him a lesson... (Alice and Glen were very close friends) when they were golfing together
Not only is Chet one of my favorite guitarist, but he's done so many duets with my other favorite guitarist...Jerry Reed, Doc Watson, Roy Clark, Mark Knopfler, Les Paul...I'm sure I'm missing a few. This is so bitter sweet. This used to be reality, this was the world we lived in, now look at it. Aww fiddle sticks.
It's easy to see how Tommy Emmanuel got inspired by these guys! I love how Tommy turned out to be a much different player though. He's very accurate and gentle but his playing is very powerful and dirtier. Love them all!
Wow that last song of this clip that Jerry did ..was cut short😢...but in just half a minuite it got to me....Well these are among the greatest in country picking style...under cover of jokes and what have you...great musicians!!!
Man, brings back so many memories! Just amazing talent…Jerry Reed could really shred, I mean what can you say about Chey and Roy was so amazing at so many instruments! If I remember right Roy was the first if not one of the first to go have a show on Branson.
Roy was the first nationally famous musician to put his name on a theater in Branson. Boxcar Willie claimed to be the first to work there full time. The Baldknobbers were the first theater followed by the Presleys.

Who else can't get enough of that Jerry Reed?
Jerry was one of the few people who could make Chet laugh out loud.
Jerry could make the pope laugh
All we need is Glen and the you would have four of the best to ever pick in Country,
I've always asked if each of them made the following statement "really, I get to play with..., he's the greatest".
The Best country Guitarist ever no one has even come close, well except one Tommy from Australia God bless American music ......
Next time you see Tommy ask him about Chet
Glenn Campbell...
Jim Stafford... Billy Strings...
Yer did OK. I finks, but that Ozzie - well I'll be. I say chaps do speak proper won'tcha! BjG in UK.
Technique is Jerry ≫≫≫Chet
Jerry Reed just makes me smile. A talented songwriter, guitar virtuoso and great character actor. Boy could he shred...
I think he was likely the most talented of all these guys. His silliness may have hurt a bit but he was so entertaining. Likable.
@@annunacky4463 Jerry might have been silly, but Roy was plumb whacky!
And always seemed to have the most fun doing it. Watch this, and tell me he's not ecstatic

Roy Clark is probably the most talented person ever. Badass Boxer, Banjo Player, Fiddle Player, guitar player, and could sing with perfect control
We could go on all day, but it would be a shame to not mention his talent as a comedian and performer
@@NerdFromDenmark Well, I always thought that Roy was funnier than Buck. There's only one Roy Clark! Karl
But Jerry was the pretty boy. Can't deny that either!
Minus 6, he was on Hee Haw,
Don't forget trumpet. Roy also played trumpet.

Love how Chet respects the nature of "The Entertainer" and doesn't try to light it on fire even though he could.
He always maintained the integrity of the song.
It’s the definition of class
Richard Smith does the entertainer with real class as well
The fact that this is a piano piece, and he keeps it on piano form while playing it on a guitar... it's just masterful, and most people probably don't realize the talent that takes.
Beautiful job!
Chet always gets the best tones. He never pushes the instrument to point where it protests but right to the line.
Chet was the pioneer of so much guitar sound. That guy Ali be ta( sp) learned from him

Chet Atkins playing Starry Night, probably one of the best performances of that ever.

Thank you for putting this out there Gene. These are some of the true guitar wizards that has inspired all of us guitar players around this rock we call earth.
You can tell Roy just loved sharing the stage with Chet.
Roy usually looked like he was having fun. I think the man enjoyed himself and well deserved.
I wrote an Essay on Roy Clark in English class about 1977. Jimmy Page and Roy Clark were the influence that got me to picking up a guitar
I had the pleasure of meeting Roy Clark at the old Rayman auditorium. He was a very nice person and easy to talk to.
Great banjo ride by Fred Newell. Used to visit with him when we worked the same rodeos and fairs back in the seventies. One fine musician he is.
Three of the best players ever. Thanks Hee Haw. And thanks Pop Goes the Country!! Both shows were classics!!
Chet always had peaceful look on his face when he played. He never had a contorted look like some guitar players when they played something complicated.
Another one was Glen Campbell.
Every few years I revist this genre and I just don't know why I let those years go by. Absolutely brilliant. I particularly love Roy, but that's a great bias decision to have to make.
These three are among the best ever in any genre but, I’m going to have to add Glen Campbell into this fraternity also!
Chet was always so smooth and percise in his playing of the guitar!
I love me some Chester!! One of the greatest guitar pickers of all time! Hee Haw we all grew up watching. Especially in the great Central San Joaquín Valley of California!
Wow! Jerry's Flares have Flares of their own .....these guys are absolute Legends
And his sideburns have sideburns. Legendary!
They were Elvis' who gave them to Jerry after they had shrunk in the washing machine by a hotel maid who didn't know.

Would have been class to see those three playing together, Jerry would have been a class touch if he made that duet between Chet and Roy a trio.
I too, took for granted Roy's talent as a kid, watching Hee Haw.
My father was an amazing guitar player....I grew up on this music....I was told he played with Chet Atkins once. He definitely could have!!!
This show gave comfort for so many for so long.

And we haven't even gotten to Glen Campbell ! What an era for guitar playing !
Chet played guitar like Fred Astaire danced.
I was lucky enough to grow up listening to my Dad and the May's. Bros Terry Jerry And Don. Such talent..... Go to sea and wait😆
These Artists just leave me overwhelmed! Such talent and skill!
Atkins playing "Starry, Starry Night", by Don McLean is always a win!
"The 3 Kings of guitar picking hands down"
Respect the way Chet and Roy complimented each other!
Any time I’ve seen Chet play with others, he was always gracious to them.
The greats of guitar picking. Thank you, Chet and Jerry, but I think Roy is the MAN!
Jerry about Chet,"That boy could thread a sewing machine running."
We have lost so many of our wonderful artists, all the old timers were great!
Even the great Mark Knoffler of Dire Straits listed Chet Atkins as his one of his biggest infuences
So did George Harrison
Excellent compilation! All these videos still blow my mind!
I love Vincent! The way Chet does it so we’ll!
Simply fantastic! So great musicians and guitar players…. Cool stuff!!!! I love it ❤️
Bro Parrott, thanks for sharing this vid! Brought back a lot of memories for this guitar picker! God bless!
This is a great video. Chet and Jerry are so greatly missed. They were both so good.
Look how relaxed Chet is! Jerry is just a fireball!
They sure are! xx
Chet had one of the funniest short skit punch lines on Hee Haw, after Archie Campbell's and his set up, "It just crepped up on me.".
Mother Maybelle told Fred Rose, "If Chester can't come to Nashville with us, we aren't coming." Chester "Chet" Atkins came to Nashville and Nashville has never been the same.
Chet's performance of Vincent was fantastic. I'm hoping that Don McLean approved and was impressed as well. I know that I was.
I saw them playing it together once on a TV show.
These guys, Chet in particular, inspired all the big British guitarists. Jimmy absolutely loves this guy.

so fun!, lots of memories in these songs! yeah!! thanks for sharing 💚
I like Roy's reaction to Chet's improv at 7:03, appears to be mouthing "Ohh that's nice" to him.
