So how does Chet Atkins rate on our scale from 1-5.
In my opinion he was one of the greatest guitarist ever and head
of RCA records. He didn't get the name CGP Certified Guitar Player
for nothing.
The guy could play two songs at the same time. One song on the 321 strings
and another on the 654 strings. Country Jazz,Spanish,Blues and even Rock at
times. ____________________

He's a great guitarist that did it all. I had a chance to meet him about 7
years ago in Tenn. He was a great down to earth guy too.

| Never bought his music however every time I would see him on TV playing I
would have to stop and listen.Two thumbs up.Ill give him a 4.5 out of 5.It
would of been 5 out of 5 however I dont normally listen to that type of
music.Excellent guitar player.If he was a good singer he would of really
tore up the music world. ____________________

I wouldn't put Roy Clark and Chet Atkins in the same sentence.
Everyone knows my thoughts on OLD ROY :giggly:

Chet is such a bada$$! Not only does his style of playing make him a highly
respected picker, the guitars he uses give him the cool factor! 5/5
