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!

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

I love the use of "harmonics" from 1:13 to 1:40...Atkins simply has a mastering of what the all guitar has to offer in tones

LOl thtubeisgri is a newb. I've been playing guitar for over 30 years, rock, jazz, blues, classical, and I have not heard anything better than Chet Atkins and Stanley Jordan. They are it, and of course Chet has much greater exposure. Idiot thetubeisgr8 has no idea how good Chet is. You actually have to play seriously to understand Chets greatness.

It is because modern day guitar players KNOW how to play guitar (or any other instrument properly!) Unlike this guy, who ever he is!!

It might be your good fortune to exist long enough in this world to understand just how amazing Chet was, and all he did to inspire guitarists worldwide. Mark Knopfler considered him as an idol. Chet is the gold standard in the history of guitar playing. Then again, you can just remain ignorant of history and quality and all that lead up to how the instrument and players have evolved . Here's hoping that you get a clue!
