I was lucky enough to see Chet alongside Jethro Burns in Orange County Ca. Probably in 1984. I was 17 at the time. My friends and I went up early and got to the venue about 3 o’clock. We found an open door and went in. It was all dark but saw it was the backstage area behind the stage. We could hear playing and went in further to find Chet and Jethro sitting and practicing. We were pretty timid standing back just listening and Chet said “come on over boys” so we stood there aghast asking questions and talking with them about 20 minutes or so. Chet asked if we had tickets and we said not yet. He says “well I’ll get you you boys in”. They then said they had to do a soundcheck and he let us sit in the front to watch… asking us “ how’s it sound out there , is it too loud” etc. such a one of a kind experience we had by the ever gracious Chet and Jethro! So we saw the show with the seats he comped us and went backstage after the show and said thanks and had him sign some of our albums and concert program. Chet then said goodbye and got in his shuttle not before tossing his cigar. I waited till he left and grabbed that thing and smoked it! I kept the rest of it along with the flatpick he gave me which I still have along with the ticket stub. Thank you Chet!

Don't Listen to people talk. He was raised in the countryside in a valley where radio stations were only local hillbilly music. Taught himself, Tal Farlow was an influence, Scruggs and Flatt, people like that, but Farlow was NYC jazz, so there's that. Then he played a little live radio, and traveling "Merry makers" with Real Hick, Cornpone musicians who hated his "Fancy Chords" that dumbfounded Local Yokels.

My dad worked for Marcel Dadi, Chet's protégé in France. He was responsible for Marcel's guitar shop. He opened it so his parents could have an occupation - both Marcel and Chet were very rich men, Marcel especially was a ridiculously successful entrepreneur - but my dad did all the work behind the scenes. He said that every great guitar that came in during this time, from the original Fender Thinline 1963 (which he still own!) to one of the custom Yamaha for which each part was made by a different luthier in Japan (can't remember the model, apparently my dad said it was the finest guitar he had even witnesses in his life!) passed through my dad's hands. He bought quite a lot of them for himself, and had a collection of over 30 different ones. Chet and Marcel weren't big collectors, or so I've heard. Marcel didn't mind. 25 years later, when my dad came back to France, he went to 5 different guitar shops and was *instantly* recognized as if he had never ever leaved and it was the most natural thing in the world. I was 9 years old. Marcel tragically died in an airplane accident. He was the happiest man ever and everyone loved him. RIP Marcel and Chet, two of the greatest players and men of all time!
Chet is one of my all time favorite soloists by far. His tone is still so incredibly good. And clean as can be. Another favorite of mine from this era is Roy Clark. He is so underrated mainly because of his use of comedy while playing but the guy was a Monster Guitarist.
Roy Clark also didn't play like that on his albums, for the most part. Going from seeing him on TV to listening to his albums was kind of a let-down if you're looking for guitar virtuosity.

Earl Klugh was given 1/3 of Chet Atkins guitars because Earl Klugh (self taught) learned to play guitar in the style of Chet Atkins. I bet Chet wanted those guitars to continue to play the music always, as was before he left this world.
Atkins is a masterful fingerstyle player and in this is offering what we classical types call a theme and variations--he introduces the tune then repeats it in increasingly more complex and virtuosic versions. I don't know if there is anything on record of Atkins playing a classical instrument and interpreting any of the classical or flamenco repertoire, but he no doubt could hold his own alongside the classical masters (Segovia, Bream, Parkening, Tennant, etc.) if he ever did!
At his peak he was greatest. He's been surpassed. He definitely set a nice standard though. Down to the use of the dynamics - polished :) The audience can't even tell when the imitators don't use dynamics they just hear fast guitar picking heh
Most find a few chords that work together and just use that to avoid over complication and ruining the song. Part of what makes this video so incredible is in how he is able to take a complex pattern and make it enjoyable in a simple way. It is truly pleasing to the ear.
@@skineyemin4276 Total ignorance? You're comment reads like it was written by a 12 year old. By the way, U2 doesn't play the blues. So again, you totally missed the point.
@@constantine7382 Like a 12 year old? Really? How many chords were in that piece Atkins was playing? I also heard that "flub" on the "E" string he made, but, since I'm 12 years I'll let you find it. Alnd, "Charo", that mid 1960s and 1970s comedic personality from Spain played that style 10x better than Atkins. Atkins was a brilliant player, your comment was not what I would call "brilliant".
Chet Atkins is my favorite musician ever, regardless of an instrument. It always seems like Chet was versatile musician who can encompass many genres, have fundamentals, and have so much control of the instrument. Guitar was just his extension of his hands.
Chet Atkins was a monster. Consider the time frame - he was ahead of his time. And an inspiration for so many later guitarists - like Steve Howe and so many others.
@@blujay9191 Agreed. And not to nitpick, but it's actually called "Clap". It was mis-titled on The Yes Album. He wrote it just after the birth of his son Dylan.
@@ikkenhisatsu7170 .. Interesting .. I'm not saying that I don't believe you but I'd like to see a source. You're asking me to believe you instead of their own album cover.
@@blujay9191 I'll direct you to several interviews and Dan Hedges' book "Yes: An Authorized Biography". It makes sense if you think about it - Dylan was just born, his first child, and he called the song Clap. It was 1971, and an album when the record company (Atlantic) was about to drop them before it took off. No one paid attention to proofing the album sleeve.
You know what happens to me sometimes. I hear a lot of great modern guitar players with unique style. Then I hear players of the past like Chet Atkins and Ted Greene, etc etc and I understand where this comes from. It's a constant discovery game for me
Yevgeny Hrebinka is the author of this song. He was ukrainian and is known as a ukrainian writer. There are two reasons why this song was written in russian language are (1) Ukrainian language was forbidden (2) the Russian Empire had two languages french for nobles and russian for the rest. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Grebyonka)

It's funny that "Dark Eyes" is a Ramans written by a Ukrainian poet - Evgeniy Pavlovich Hrebinka under the impression of the first meeting with his future wife who had "dark eyes" so spread throughout the world carrying the energy of that great and pure love of the Great Ukrainian!!!
The man's face in the bottom right corner in the beggining of the video fills me with joy every time I see it. The same face the actor made in Roy Clark's legendary malaguena performance on tv. It's the exact moment a simple man notices they're standing next to a legend. Such a beautiful moment.
Chet Atkins is Ed O'Neil's Father. You know him as Al Bundy in married with children. Ed changed his last name to O'neil because he wanted to be known for his Acting talent and not just as his famous Father's Son.
🤣😂 [O'Neill was born into an Irish-American Catholic family in Youngstown, Ohio on April 12, 1946. His mother, Ruth Ann (née Quinlan), was a homemaker and social worker, AND HIS FATHER, Edward Phillip O'Neill, was a steel mill worker and truck driver.] source: Wikipedia

Chet was light-years ahead as a player and an incredible musician and arranger. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎩
That beep at the end of the video tho 2:12
Why can't I find this on Spotify
In two minutes he used more chords than U2 has in over thirty years. Unbelievable!
hot chicken🐓 every edge riff is the same ,crap
Most find a few chords that work together and just use that to avoid over complication and ruining the song. Part of what makes this video so incredible is in how he is able to take a complex pattern and make it enjoyable in a simple way. It is truly pleasing to the ear.
The song Atkins has more chords in it. Blues usually has chords repeating. Your comment reads with total ignorance. Stfu.
@@skineyemin4276 Total ignorance? You're comment reads like it was written by a 12 year old. By the way, U2 doesn't play the blues. So again, you totally missed the point.
@@constantine7382 Like a 12 year old? Really? How many chords were in that piece Atkins was playing? I also heard that "flub" on the "E" string he made, but, since I'm 12 years I'll let you find it. Alnd, "Charo", that mid 1960s and 1970s comedic personality from Spain played that style 10x better than Atkins. Atkins was a brilliant player, your comment was not what I would call "brilliant".
Master Atkins and Les Paul Were Two of the Leading Guitarest of there Era!
Real Rock Stars!
Bom muito bom 👍
Chet Atkins is my favorite musician ever, regardless of an instrument. It always seems like Chet was versatile musician who can encompass many genres, have fundamentals, and have so much control of the instrument. Guitar was just his extension of his hands.
Я такого красивого исполнения никогда не слышал!
А что за песня?
@@mcknight8225 Ты угораешь? Очи черные - Dark Eyes
Chet Atkins was a monster. Consider the time frame - he was ahead of his time. And an inspiration for so many later guitarists - like Steve Howe and so many others.
Absolutely. Listen to The Clap by Steve Howe. It's got Chet Atkins all over it.
@@blujay9191 Agreed. And not to nitpick, but it's actually called "Clap". It was mis-titled on The Yes Album. He wrote it just after the birth of his son Dylan.
@@ikkenhisatsu7170 .. Interesting .. I'm not saying that I don't believe you but I'd like to see a source. You're asking me to believe you instead of their own album cover.
@@blujay9191 I'll direct you to several interviews and Dan Hedges' book "Yes: An Authorized Biography". It makes sense if you think about it - Dylan was just born, his first child, and he called the song Clap. It was 1971, and an album when the record company (Atlantic) was about to drop them before it took off. No one paid attention to proofing the album sleeve.
@@ikkenhisatsu7170 .. thanks .. there's so much plain b.s. flying around that any more I ask people to cite references. I appreciate the reply.
fantastic! just awesome. I'm Russian and I can really appreciate this masterful guitar rendition of the wonderful song.
Watching Chet in his prime is incredible.
Chet era un genio de la guitarra. Excelente versión.
Holy neckerchief
You know what happens to me sometimes. I hear a lot of great modern guitar players with unique style. Then I hear players of the past like Chet Atkins and Ted Greene, etc etc and I understand where this comes from. It's a constant discovery game for me
i'm learning russian , i can listen to this all my life
Как успехи в русском языке? :)
Ilya Vishnyakov Кто придумал бутерброд с дикобразом по-царски? Они хулиганы! Они - бездельники! Хахаха!
Yevgeny Hrebinka is the author of this song. He was ukrainian and is known as a ukrainian writer. There are two reasons why this song was written in russian language are (1) Ukrainian language was forbidden (2) the Russian Empire had two languages french for nobles and russian for the rest. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Grebyonka)
@@xilon-vh3pt епать да всем похер на украину хватит уже спамить за свою маленькую никчёмную республику или что у вас там , никто не знает даже где на карте эта украина
Comrade, I hear you haven't been learning a lot of Russian recently. So how are we going to settle this?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I grew up in the 80's/90's and I keep coming back to Chet.
holy cow thats amazing!
An absolute genius at work 🙏🏻
Technically amazing. But that's nit Russian blood. Zero romantism here.
It's funny that "Dark Eyes" is a Ramans written by a Ukrainian poet - Evgeniy Pavlovich Hrebinka under the impression of the first meeting with his future wife who had "dark eyes" so spread throughout the world carrying the energy of that great and pure love of the Great Ukrainian!!!
here we go again =)
That one gal in red just behind him looks like she’d rather be anywhere else 😂
She probably can't understand his language..
Damn clarity
Absolutely one of the greatest players EVER!....... Mr. GUITAR
A true genius and giant of the guitar and such a humble and nice man xxx
Ochi Chernya (excuse my spelling)or Dark Eyes. One of my favorites.
Born and bred American here. I love my Russian brothers and sisters
The man's face in the bottom right corner in the beggining of the video fills me with joy every time I see it.
The same face the actor made in Roy Clark's legendary malaguena performance on tv.
It's the exact moment a simple man notices they're standing next to a legend. Such a beautiful moment.
Well said, he looks genuinely glad to be there
That Gretsch looks smooth...
Chet Atkins is Ed O'Neil's Father. You know him as Al Bundy in married with children. Ed changed his last name to O'neil because he wanted to be known for his Acting talent and not just as his famous Father's Son.
🤣😂
[O'Neill was born into an Irish-American Catholic family in Youngstown, Ohio on April 12, 1946. His mother, Ruth Ann (née Quinlan), was a homemaker and social worker, AND HIS FATHER, Edward Phillip O'Neill, was a steel mill worker and truck driver.] source: Wikipedia
What? You couldn't be more wrong dude! His father's name was Edward P O'Neil my dad worked for the same company as his.
😂 Plot twist: Chet Atkins real name is Edward P. O'Neil.
Double plot twist: Edward P. O'Neil was a pseudonym used by Albert Bundy Sr. 🤣
This man could play anything.
Somehow I get the feeling that the ever so popular "clap now" signs were used for the filming of this video!
The lady at 1:08 thought we wouldn't notice her picking her nose, but we did.
Chet and my father were the first 2 🎸 guitarists to inspire me to start playing at the age of 4
This man is unbelievable.
спасибо, мастер
Ripping the arpeggio when yingwie was still in diapers. Nice!
