Totally Awesome! Chet was and still is the Country Gentleman ????????????????????
That lighter in the commercial is a lie, it has a electric ignition and without gas it just click a small arch of electricity to ignite the gas, what these people are saying is contrary to physics as we know it,,,liar liar pants on fire????
That really was beautiful and melodic too ????
2024 anyone here?
I notice that the young man is singing as well as playing. That takes some doing for a "beginning student"! Chet of course, had no need to sing. The guitar did it for him.
I went to KR music in Chino hills for guitar strings and brought to the young rock metal clerk, this beautiful piece from the master. He was blown away and kept asking me who this was. Now this young man is a Chet fan.
Chet was a gentleman. However, I have CP and can't use my fingers.
Amazing…
Where can find this amazing lesson series
Anyone who’s studying guitar seriously knows how critical and precise this way of teaching/learning is. For most of us it was tabs or ultimate guitar lol you where lucky if someone taught you this it saved time later on! Made a musician out of you!
Seeing Chet play makes me cry. Always. Spirit of Guitar.
Beautiful!!!!
Two luckiest kids ever
Chet atkins is my brothers girlfriends uncle. It’s cool to see this as a guitarist myself:-)
Lol I used to have this vhs tape, first instructional video i ever had
Gentlemen and ladies this is how it’s done, Bravo
This is the Mr. Rodgers of guitar teachers guys, lets be real…..
I wonder if Lindsey Buckingham studied his music. Sounds like it. But different as Linsey would do. ????
Thats awesome, thank u for uploading!
Is the full VCR available anywhere?
If anyone is impressed with Chet's masterful playing, it's certainly me. I know that tons of others, from fans to casual listeners, would agree.
I found out in a most interesting way, that it wasn't all due to raw talent, however.
In my teen years, I was fortunate enough to 'accidentally' hear him give a radio interview back in the early to mid 70s. I usually listened to music.
He said he practiced every single day, for 8 hours a day. Maybe he took Sunday off–i can't remember. I'm laughing as I write that line, BTW.
But, my point is that a lot of what he accomplished was the result of very hard work. But, yes, he had enormous talent, too.
As I listened to this scale-based song of his, it became apparent to me that someone could simply put some decent words to almost every note he sang, and have a truly great song. As mentioned, this offering of him with his friends is so soothing.
For all his fine playing, though, I wonder at times if he would have traded at least a tiny bit of his instrumental prowess for a little more in the vocal category–if only to see what it was like for a day.
Very sincerely now, that sn't meant to be a dig or poke at him. For example, when I heard him sing the live version of ????️I Still Can't Say Goodbye, dedicated to his father, I often get a lump in my throat once again.
But, we all know that good old pickin' is where he truly excelled. I don't think we'd want him to trade even a small anything for what he did for us on the guitar. It would be as repregesable as sentencing Renoir or Van Gogh to spending their entire life in a straight jacket.
RIP Chet Atkinsi CGP.
I have never seen a better example of "It ain't what you play, it's how you play it." No testosterone, no smashing instruments, no lighting something on fire, no obscene gestures or foul language. Just simply a mastery of his instrument and a love for the music it makes. There is still beauty to be found in this crazy world. Chet Atkins is one of those elements.
4:36 ? Harp Hamonics
What is this melody?
The guitar solo seams taken by Paul Simon for the song The Boxer
Snail's awrighty then peeeeeeuuuuu smelly swop
Amazing musician. Thank you for sharing. ????????????????????????????❤️
Anyone know the name of the first tune?
I have 36 of his LP record albums.
Hearing Chet Play Country Roads choked me up.
I love shred guitar…great distorsion etc…but my first Love is Mark Knopfler…still now and to see and hear Chet playing with so much feeling I thinck Mark would play that in his own style but close to chet's way of playing…Mark would have a sound much more magic but the spirit of their Music and their way to play this tune should be really close the same…So when
I'm crazy whilè listening Satch or S Morse or E Johnson of S Vai or SRV or Gary Moore or YJ Mallsteen or J Petrucci…
I love so much all these guys but themselves would love…L'm sure… listening Chet so pure and being a real guitar player without need of other thing than just his guitar à little amp and fhis magic ingers….
All are making music with their hearts and of course thincking of Tommy Emmanuel who is the only who has joined all these musics…
Satch Said when he's listening Tommy's playing he want to stop to play guitar..it's the great proof that Music only matter…
I saw him with the last Mark Knopfler' s album and telling :
"… no bounderies when so much talent arrives to my ears…"
It's the only thing to do …listening and playing all what's giving shivers all along your life…
It's how I'm listening music since so many years now…
No bounderies to feel pleasure…????????????????????????
gonna miss this man.
Mother’s Grace
Chet…..The legend????????????
I just noticed chet looks and sounds like W bush.but 100× a better person.
So this is a beginner lesson….okaaaayyy!
Chet "inspired" my guitar, a Gretsch Country Classic (think George Harrison's Gretsch Country Gentleman guitars).
There are no other music greats anymore than CHET ATKINS. CHET IS A MEGATON BOMB of music of all times. Most musicians of today play and sing with DRUGS NICOTINE from their blood and they sound horrible and boring, to say the least. CHET is indeed a SUPER SPECIAL MUSIC QUITARIST OF WHOM I RATED AS THE WORLD BEST SCALES TUNES OF ALL TIMES. NOT TOMMY EMANUEL NOR ELVIS PRESLEY. CHET IS NO LONGER WITH US BUT MUSIC GENIUS IS IMBEED WITH HIS SUPPORTERS, JUST LIKE IM FONDED WITH JFK. DJ TRUMP, MILTON FRIEDMAN. TAKE IT EASY, TE ESCUCHO, AMIGO!
Wonder when was this filmed and we’re are those kids now I hope they are still playing scales ????????????
When Chet passed, it was like burning the entire internet and the worlds biggest library on guitar playing
The king of kings on guitar
Zabardast…cheers from Toronto…..
And so Mr guitar still lives on frew his music
That sounds wonderful 🙂
Very interesting I am a beginner.
The music here is beautiful, just not sure about the practicality of this for beginners – complicated picking going on.
I love the scale tune
Love this
