Just came here after listening to his 54’ Mr Sandman cover and now I’m sad. Seeing a life go by that fast. Sometimes that’s really how it is :/. RIP Chet Atkins.
Anyone looking at Chet's facial expressions can see that he's pleased with how this tune is going as they played it. No fears on his part for sure, he is hammering out his masterful work easily. Great piece.
What a groovy gas. No need for drums, the acoustic guitar kept our foot tapping. The electric piano added color. The bass gave a solid bottom. And Chet, simply beautiful. Single note lines, tasteful harmonies, a little bit of jazz. See young players, one does not need to play a thousand meaningless notes per minute to get a point across. One does not need annoying distortion pedals and distracting effects. This direct music moves people’s hearts.
Something I really came to appreciate about him was his ability to take his trademark style and bring it to so many genres, that really helped keep it fresh yet distinctive
Самый классный гитарист всех времен и народов!!!!!!!! Настоящий профессионал!!!!! К великому сожалению его нет в живых, но дело его, его умение радовать простых людей , умение заражать простых людей классной, красивой музыкой будет жить вечно! Рекомендую всем друзьям!!!!! Не пожалеете !!! Чек эткинс!!!
Chet Atkins one of the greatest masters of guitar in the world. Classic guitar positions and technic with super execution and personality too. But Stanley Jordan is one of the most innovative and surprising guitar players of all the times ! A new style never seen before.
A true master. This has that iconic 50's vibe. They need to add thid to the zombies in cod and on Nuke town. A missed opportunity in the original black ops!
This and the one with Stanley Jordan likely the best guitar versions of Stardust. Not sure what those folks who gave thumbs down to this were watching.
You can blame Chet for the foul shit that passes as contemporary country music -- as RCA''s VP in charge of country for decades, he pioneered & championed the (horrific) idea that country needed to assimilate pop & rock elements to thrive, thus cementing his seat in the ugliest circle of hell. Good guitar player, but O! the damage he wrought.
Very nice rendition by Chet. That's a Gibson he is playing, dressed up like a Gretsch that he used to promote. I wonder if this was during his association with Gibson.
It has the Gibson "thistle" headstock pearl emblem which is predominately a Gibson ornament. It has the Gibson style tuners. It is the wine red Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman guitar, manufactured in the Nashville factory for him and designed to have the Gretsch sound that he was familiar with.
All my apologises ! You are right ...and this Gibson is called "Country Gentleman" as it is explained on Chet Atkins/Gibson link ...and your examination of details is perfect !
This is one of those strange events in Chet's history and Gretsch. From what I have been able to find out Gretsch sold to Baldwin in 1970, quality went down. A disgusted Chet Atkins withdrew his endorsement in 1979 and started his relationship with Gibson in 1980. Gibson started to make these for him loosely based on the Gretsch 6122 but with humbuckers instead of the Gretsch Super-Trons as well as replacing the original tone switches with a special tone pot. Gbson also made the Tennessean model for him and he endorsed them. The Gretsch family bought back the name in 1989 and Terada Japan started to build them again to the original Gretsch specs.
every note is perfect. chet is the apotheosis of guitar.
Chet's brilliance transcended any category of music
I hope Chet is in heaven I can listen to him forever.
I sure hope so too! I know he played a lot of Gospel, I just hope and pray that he did accept Jesus.

Yep, keep listening and crying. They don't make 'em like Chet any more.
FANTASTIC! THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. I HAVE ENJOYED HIS MUSIC SINCE THE 50'S. HE IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD.
No one can compare this! Greatest guitarist of all time!
Absolutely gorgeous. My mom's favorite song.
The most amazing of guitar players....so smooth...brilliant..a giant
Totally Amazing Incredibly Beautiful!!

The very best guitar player that has ever lived! Thanks
What a Joy watching a Master at Work,absolutely wonderful.☺

All my music heroes are gone, they now all live in another universe of time.
For classical music lovers that's taken for granted ... very few people like contemporary composers. :)
Time is non-applicable when discussing eternity.
sometimes i wonder why i always miss chet.....forever in my heart
Excellent song, one of my favorites.
La interpretación de este maravilloso tema por Chet Atkins es inolvidable, para escucharlo siempre. Muchas gracias.
Simply a wonderful song played beautifully!
Something I really came to appreciate about him was his ability to take his trademark style and bring it to so many genres, that really helped keep it fresh yet distinctive
watching this in 2017 is like drinking old wine which is rare and expensive and just became better with the age..
He is a great guitarist and I like his style .

carlo antonio Gallarati Stanley play's extremely well with Chet.....watched a few today.....he definitely is unique.....👍👍
Oh, what I would have given to have been able to see videos of Chet when I was a young man back in the 70's. My guitar idol.
My god how beautiful.
SWEETSOUNDS OF STARDUST IN THE AIR
A true master. This has that iconic 50's vibe. They need to add thid to the zombies in cod and on Nuke town. A missed opportunity in the original black ops!
Smooth as silk as usual!!! And Paul playing his Peaver...
I don't think he made a commercial recording of this old standard. What a beautiful performance. He made it all look so easy.
even playing one string at a time he is the best miss the guy
Oh this is mesmerizing ....
Powerful recording.....thank you for posting......just excellent!!
very nostalgic,,,,remind me my litte brother

This is amazing
Kiitos Chet, upea soitantasi jatkuu. Iki-hyviksi ihastuin soittoosi ja laulamiseesi; Autumn Leaves. Kiitos tulkinnoistasi. Olet ykkönen , ja kunnioitus kitaristille. Kitaraa edelleen tapaillen.
Amesing wonderful.
To Cool Beautiful but Chet and Jerry Reeds i have to say you Guys are Tops !!!
Este tema servia todos.ate o excelente chet Atkins.
crying from the first note
Out of 893 people, 18 are bound to be clueless.
I wish this could be the type of music they play on talk shows late at night instead of of the pop shit that usually gets air airtime u_u

You talk some shit Mister!
Pop really is shit. I never have my radio on when I drive because I can't listen to that crap. There should be a law.
bobloblawlablabla, they need a skill to play this music.
They can only play the modern shit which brings them some teenage cash.
Can't beat Chet!
My kinda lullaby
I believe that Chet could have played a watermelon and got some beautiful music out of it. Tim M. 5/20/2018
The Best
チェットの演奏で久しぶりに感動しました
Nothin finer. Thank you.
Still abide by it
This sounds like the same musicians that played with Chet for I'll Be Home For Christmas.
Prachtig

not even close to his best,,,But Chet is the greatest player of all time...
bravissimo
Balsam für meine Ohren
The pickups aren't P 90s they're Ray Butts pickups (he's the inventor of hummbucker pickups) (according to Chet Atkins)
im watching u sir
I imagine Marty Mcfly come to the show...
+SuperCarver2011 so, Gibson made a Country Gentleman too? I have Gretsch's, and yes, it's a Japan made.
Just suavé
nice hoagy, ps does anyone know what the keyboardist has his elka mk88 plugged into sound module wise? sounds great.
Las primeras 6 notas son iguales a una intro de cueca
+V.V Q.Q Jajajaja si, siempre que me meto a escuchar esta cancion pienso que puse mal el video xD
Who is that playing the Bigsby necked acoustic?
Paul Yandell. He was Chet’s sideman for about 25 years.
what model is this. thinline hollow body ?
+ed.G. Hansen Closest thing you can get to it today is a Gretsch G6119HT Tennessee Rose. With a case it would run you about $2,400.
Nice. The piano player needed a music stand.
Is he using P90s?
the keyboard ruins it for me
sad
Chet's an awesome player always loved him but this song or arrangement is a train wreck. Wow!
+gone fishin You really should stick with the fishin Pally.
don't care for this arrangement. He took the heart and soul right out of the song.
very nostalgic,,,,remind me my litte brother
