Yup. Chet put Gretch guitars on the map. ANY self respecting guitar would die to have Chet's name emblazoned across it. Chet was THE MASTER. He stood head and shoulders above. A giant. A legend.

Yeah that guy thetubeisgr8 isn't that smart, I didn't know much about Chet until recently and seeing his music I instantly fell in love with the man. He plays such beautiful music and looks so happy doing it. Plus he played a Gretsch guitar like me. I play a G3303 Grand Concert Historic edition baby! Made in Savannah, Georgia :D

more years??? Your statement is so laughable that it is pathetic. Chet's name is literally SYNONYMOUS with guitar. Chet=guitar in the minds of the educated. And you see one video of him, don't like it, and form an instant judgment on decades of accomplishment playing in every music venue including some of the most renowned symphony orchestras in the world? Chet proved himself for DECADES. Who are you little man? You're a wart on the hand of opinions about who is who in the world of guitar.

with Elvis, Hank Williams and other legends, playing sideman, and he literally INVENTED finger style guitar. He has won DOZENS of grammys and other awards and recorded hundreds of albums over the decades. He has millions of fans all over the world trying to imitate his unique style and is admired by just about every guitarist who is worth anything. Hundreds of guitarists name him as their greatest inspiration, and he's the Father of many of us. And you have the IGNORANCE to say he needs twenty

Freedom of speech? Well speak THIS. I have been playing guitar for 30 years..you admit you don't play one. So what the Fuck do you know about the thing?? Your mouth spumes all this froth about how Chet needed twenty more years to learn to play, and that statement is puke. Chet was outplaying most guitarists of today at age twenty! During his 60 year career he literally put guitar back on the map. Guitar makers clamored to name their guitars after him. He was there in the early sessions

That's gotta be one of the least educated statements I've ever read on the internet. Chet Atkins was universally regarded as a guitar master and genius. He inspired thousands with his beautiful, emotive, and fluid playing. And he played for quite a long time -- his career was almost 60 years long. RIP, Mr. Guitar. You were truly an original, and you'll be sorely missed forever.

And I'm not through yet! This is garbage! Their tiny opinion is dung. My daddy brought me up on Mr Guitars music, and when they put down Chet, the master they put down my daddy! I would claw this persons eyes out of their sockets if I met them. This person is the king of fools! Can't even play a guitar, yet can tell all of us what it should sound like. Well prove it! We'll give you a guitar and you show us how it's played. Yeah right! They wouldn't even know how to tune it!
By: davidsgirl088. on 22 Nov 08, 05:34:30
Yes. Chet has stood on his on for decades. This person who comes in here and puts down Mr guitar is making a total ass of themself. As if their minute little opinion changes decades of guitar HISTORY. This person is SPITTING IN THE WIND. How can they criticize someone who has PROVEN them self for 40 years and say he "needs 20 years more practice when the person them self doesn't know a guitar from their own asshole? When they earn as many awards as Chet did, maybe then they can instruct.
By: GraemeBerke. on 22 Nov 08, 02:15:15
Well said. Chet can stand on his own.

Free speech isn't dead. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism. In an open forum, ideas stand or fail on their own merits or lack thereof.
By: thetubeisgr8. on 21 Nov 08, 05:00:34
OK, you have proved my point. Free speech is dead. I still don't think he can play for toffee, but as the guy is dead and he can't defend himself I will say no more on the matter after this comment. Their ARE MILES better guitar players out their by far. I am NOT one to lie and say things I do not mean, if I have never heard of the guy, I have never heard of him. I am not a yank or a guitar player or a brown-noser, I am a music lover thats all. This is not music, just noise, sorry.

are you mental there isnt a guitar player in the world that would know what part of the their body you play with if this guy hadnt shown them look up a bio or something b4 say something like that thetubeisgr8. Chet was a legend and practicaly invented how to play a guitar
By: davidsgirl088. on 20 Nov 08, 23:37:22
Throw! duh! or like saying Beethoven needs to learn to write a symphony! The person who would say such things thinks they are so damn smart and everyone else knows they are fuckin clueless! They are jerkin off in a circle with their eyes closed! Chet PROVED his guitar ability over 40 or 50 years and over hundreds of albums and traveling the world. His ability is not in question. What's in question is the existence of a smatter of intelligence in the person who makes such an ignorant comment.
By: davidsgirl088. on 20 Nov 08, 23:32:02
Hey! Whether thetubeisgr8 is a troll or not don't matter. They sure have their head up their ass about guitar. they sound like an ignorant dumbass. My daddy was a guitar player before he died, and he had hundred of Chet's albums in vinyl. He taught me who Mr guitar was! Chet was the greatest guitar player who ever lived! To say Chet needs 20 more years to improve is assenine! That's like saying Einstein needs twenty more years to learn to use his brain! or M. Jordan needs to improve his free

Can you say "TROLL", boys and girls? I knew you could.
By: bigvan24. on 19 Nov 08, 20:47:39
I suspect your beef with him is not his ability but that he wasn't playing the style of music you wanted to hear. I might add that throwing off on Chet Atkins' ability is a good way to get yourself branded as an idiot.
By: thetubeisgr8. on 19 Nov 08, 19:37:55
Thank you. I am most honoured. But it is all true, apart from the typo. @picker50, I hope I am to be taken seriously. Most modern guitarist play in time and not just all over the place, but thanx for the comment.
By: picker50. on 19 Nov 08, 18:04:02
lol thetubeisgr8 just isnt to be taken seriously. most modern guitarist dont even try to play this complex a style. Nothing more than the universe began with me thinking.
By: 123yasss. on 19 Nov 08, 17:59:17
there have been lots and lots of stupid comments on this video, most of which i dont bother with. But what you just wrote is utter nonsense.
By: thetubeisgr8. on 19 Nov 08, 08:33:23
Perhaps it is because I am not a guitar player or even love I have never heard of Chet Atkins. Also, perhaps it is because I live in the UK, I do not know. But Chet Atkins means nothing to me at all! And, listening to him on a few videos here on You Tube, I did not think he was that good as a muscian! Don't get me wrong, he could of been great, but just has not got that edge. Its a real pity he did not live long enough to perfect his art. Another 20 years may of done it for him.
By: daffydoug. on 19 Nov 08, 01:28:21
Whoever he is?? Where have you been living the last fifty years while Chet Atkins was making guitar history?? This is the man who virtually taught the world how to play guitar, world renowned as "Mr Guitar" and he has fan clubs world wide and you say whoever he is? This is the man whose name is synonymous with guitar who put guitar on the map, and you say whoever he is? This is the man who inspires millions worldwide, who put Nashville on the map, and you say whoever he is? Holy cripes!

both great influences for Chet

Chet was -- and still is -- in a class all by himself.
