Chet was so far ahead of his time!- Never forgotten. Astounding musicality.

TooleyPeter

Chet's amazing but how was he ahead of his time? Can you be more specific?

I!

I love all of Chet's playing, but I love best his performances in the 50's, like this one.

Looking at the young Chet, makes me realizing that his picking talent had already reached the top!

My cousin came into owning that exact guitar signed by Chet Atkins 25 years ago. That thing is beautiful.

moviemagg

How did he aquire it and what did he pay for it. And does he still have it today...

chkrbrdvans

moviemagg I haven’t brought it up. But I think I will. He showed it to me years ago but I don’t recall how he came to owning it. If I think of it I’ll reply back to this thread.

Chet Atkins is always the best, this song was in Nintendo NES game called "Pooyan" in 1985.

I don't know whether to be more jealous of Chet's prototype gretsch or the guy in the back holding a stratosphere double neck guitar like Jimmy Bryant played.

There's that special, custom made Gretsch 6120 with the prototype Ray Butts pickups. Gretsch made a short run of these guitars a few years ago. Wish they would have made the pickup insert the light grey as it is in this video rather than the white. It just would have been that much better.

David Gibson

Chet Atkins my guitar hero best Gretsch guitar ever made was that one in the video..

So smooth!

William Wettin

Anyone who knows which year this is? I can not tell if it is Filtertron humbuckers or single coil on that guitar. I think Filtertrons arrived in 57 or 58...I might be wrong though.

Love that piece...I hope i can work it out and play it sometime!:)

Jonathan lewis music I thought the same thing! Sometimes I play Chet Atkins stuff at gigs and it obviously, always gets that reaction! (I wish!!) hahaha

Paul Imondi

Catcher_In_The _Pie Now let us remember: the 1950's were the best days of life... Still had. God!

My Dad swears he saw chet play two songs simultaneously on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show when he was younger. It was Mary had a little lamb and something else that chet played on one guitar simultaneously and distinctly. Anyone else able to verify this and anyone able to find the video. If so post it to me.

Richard Neville

"Yankeedoodledixie" was a Chet, 'double header' I seem to remember.

Daniel Cash

I don't know of that specific clip but there is a video on youtube at the moment titled "Chet Atkins on The Jimmy Dean Show (3 tracks)" where he plays two songs simultaneously. Humoresque and Swanee River.

While I agree, this is a piece by Dvorak that is composed in a major key. Regardless, it is true that, in general, music was happier back then.

Three great guitars in this video. Is that a crazy bigsby in the background? And what about the binding on the rhythm?

Michael Gorman

Dvorak at the hoottenany, I think Chet was punking them

Beth Bartlett

Guys - I believe this is in the early 60's - (the show and it's in color and the hair styles - Country Artists then - and now for most part - allow style trends to settle in, before their more conservative manners adapt them)

I'm just saying -
Be curious to know actual date...

gretschoholic

8y↑5

I'd say it's probably from 1955/'56 (or no later than '57), cos Chet is playing his sealed top Gretsch 6120 with prototype Filter'Tron pickups. They were introduced in 1957, so after that Chet would have played his new model, the 6122 Country Gentleman. It's definitely not as "late" as early 60's, since Chet did not play this guitar after the introduction of the Filter'Trons.

Daniel Cash

8y↑5

The collection of these early colour film videos of Chet were shot from 1954 through 1956.

Jensen Bell

7y↑3

Exactly! I was going to say... prototype sealed top... prototype Filtertrons! That's a one of a kind guitar! I agree... 1956.

@stanprag That is Jackie Phelps, and I spoke to his widow last year to ask her about it. She told me that he built a lot of his own guitars, played them a while and then tore them apart and made a different guitar out of the parts. She also said none of his guitars still exist. Too bad. P.S. It was said of Jackie that he could play "Little Rock Getaway" on a Jew's harp. Apparently, a very versatile musician.

Pick it, Chester!

At about :45 there's a guy in the background with a truly odd looking electric guitar that I can't place. Who can tell me what that thing is?

Nathan Leland

10y↑1

I can tell you that is Jackie Phelps, but the make or model of the guitar i cannot... Possibly custom made thought because it looks far too avant-garde for 1950's mass production.

turtleseggsouffle

It has a dulcimer neck on it. I believe it's one of hundreds of privately-made guitars that were out and about wherever trees grow and clever backwoods folk start to considering and mulling. Very cool! At first I thought you meant the hollowbody archtop with the cool binding, which I've seen but can't place.

Tyler Bruney

10y↑1

I'm pretty sure its a stratosphere guitar that he modified

turtleseggsouffle

10y

Tyler Bruney Right your are, Tyler! The upper neck had that funny sort of cutaway at the headstock--not quite Strat;
So cool--thanks for giving the true answer!

Why does he not use a capo??

Duncan

because hes a god

chris rocco

@Duncan yessssss

Paul Pavao

I agree-the Greatest has no equal !

Enis Penvy

I think he was lip synching. Some of the video doesn't match the audio. Either way it doesn't matter, he's still the best to ever pick up a guitar.

Amoeba

5y↑1

I dont think he was you can hear him practicing the different chords in the beginning so his guitar is definitely on.

Nash Burges

3y↑1

That is just about the stupidest thing I've ever read. Guitar syncing isn't a thing, and if it was, Chet certainly wouldn't have any need to do it. Also as the person above said, you can hear him practicing before and there are several videos of Chet playing in this same venue on the same day and you can hear hear practicing and tuning in those as well.
