I saw Chet at a matinee show in Lakeland, Fla. about this time, 1977. No one showed up! So, he invited everyone to come down and sit with him. There were maybe 15 people. I was so close I could have touched the tuning keys on his guitars. He would stare directly at me in the eyes with that Chet smile, like an old friend. He was magic and that concert was a great moment in my life.
On that day, you were the luckiest man in the world my friend and probably the happiest!
Great memorable experience. Thanks for sharing. I only discovered this song a few days ago. Glad I did.
That is a great story! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing
That's both kind of sad and really cool. I'm sure he got paid regardless but never fun to show up to an empty hall as a musician.
Chet invented something that became a guitar musical language that everyone can understand deeply . And it’s so peaceful and decent !
I like Chet's reaction to his own playing. 😄
Agreed. And he was extremely humble about his playing, too, often pointing out his own goofs when his audience was thinking "how the hell can anyone play that good?!"
The world is a far poorer place without Chester. Sigh ....
You can have as much precision and play as smooth, clear, and as effortlessly as he did he is the most talented guitarist of all time.
I would mildly disagree because the way progress is made in any field is that the young ones start out in life by learning the master's techniques. By the time the young ones are about 40, they have moved the ball down the field and can play the master's songs better than the master ever could. There are so many fabulous pickers today who can easily outplay Chester (like Tommy Emmanuel and Richard Smith), but they never fail to give credit to Chet for showing them the ropes early on and then encouraging them to new heights. Just about any good guitar picker today will readily acknowledge Chet as one of their early inspirations. Tommy in particular never misses an opportunity to praise Chet.
i would not say they could outplay Chet at all. They play similarly but he was better at improv which is a huge part of guitar ability
Chet has his own personal style and its been around for quite awhile! Hes the best I've ever seen with his guitar picking so pristine. Congrats Uncle Chet your the king of The Pickers Jet Set.
Boss 🔥
I have so many of his albums, that it makes for a great highway listening music and the time passes so quickly and I smile the whole time he plays!!!!
He is Mr. smooth and so much more. The king.
No amp, no effects…just a nylon string guitar and a microphone. Oh, and two amazing hands! 🥰
He always brought an amplifier usually a Fender.. Later he had a Rivera.. It was very seldom that he didn't have an amplifier with him
@@dannymuhammad8321I’m sure your right about that. But what I meant is that the guitar is acoustic, played into a microphone. No special effects.
At 1:35 he trows in the "Dizzy Fingers" riff. Genius.
The best
Another AWESOME performance by " Mr. Guitar"..!!!
A fine demonstration of Chet's amazing versatility on the guitar. The man could play anything - and play it superbly. I especially also like his acoustic guitar versions of Dizzy Fingers and Lover Don't Leave Me Now. Thanks much for posting this.
The best ever!
Fantastique morceau de guitare joué par le Maître Chester, avec sensibilité, pureté du son et apparente facilité. Cet homme était une exception de la nature. Qu'il demeure à jamais dans notre mémoire.
beautiful song
genius,rip,my hero
Oh so this is how the guitar is played I’ve been doing it all wrong.
Funny:) me too
I bet theres more notes in this 2 and a half minute song than there is in the average 2 sided album these days, how sad :/
More notes doesn’t equal a masterpiece. It’s how you play them. This guy makes use of every note and can probably make a masterpiece with 4 notes.
wonderful wonderful. Poor Val Doonican (host of this BBC TV show) strides out from the shadows at the end of the song, thinking 'shit....I've gotta follow that!!'
That is really fucked up situation
Had no idea it was so fast. Trying to learn. Still a different pay grade here even though I’ve played 30 years. Damn.
Quotes “I Know That You Know” at 00:47.
Chet was a hip dude.
Holy F, for real ?!
Close up to gods work
My buddy, Gene Slone wrote this song. Check out youtube channel FoxBoysMusic for a video of Gene playing it.
This is such an excellent piece - did Gene have others where this came from?
You can see the fretwear on his neck lol
long forgotten Roger Water's brother?
This re-affirms to me what I already thought.... that I am tired of today’s monotonous, unoriginal “music”!
I've seen that one...looked like Gene and a group of pals in a garage having a fine old jam session. Gene is not Chet, but had very decent skills playing "his" own tune. Fun to see the composer in action.
Gorgeous. Could have done without the other instruments, totally unnecessary.
Chet Atkins sold more sorry-ass guitars because he played so well. If he had stayed with his D'angelico electric guitar in its original configeration and Standel amp, and not spent all those now wasted years promoting gretsch guitars and as a cigar smoking nashville music producer but stuck to improving his guitar playing beyond how perfect it already was, he would have been remembered forever.
He will be remembered forever anyway.
Goof Alert....The above title should be Lover Come Back To Me.
Two completely different songs / melodies
The goof is that you think it's a goof.
Cascade, see other sources for it, same-O same-O
I thought this was "San Antonio Stroll" by Tanya Tucker? (jk)
My grampa says this old dude is the best guitar player ever lol
He dont even play a electric guitar n he probly sucks at guitar hero to
That old dude is dead now. And he did play electric guitar. Considered one of the most influential guitarists of all time.
David Musall sure then y isnt his songs on guitar hero
+Connor Bradley get A guitar and play like Chet. Then you'll be guitar player
David Musall Already got one. It dont look that hard
+Connor Bradley you've got a guitar but it don't look that hard? So you don't really play. Chet makes it look easy cause he worked at it for hours every day. You have to put the time into anything to get good. Try it.
