Chet Atkins was one the most versatile guitarists, and what an impressive arrangement. ! I can imagine some of the so-called ' Guitar Giants ' of modern times tackling that arrangement !!!!
@OEDBrowser I'm sure they could. Chet Atkins is great, no denying that, but talent is in the eye of the beholder, if you can play 30,000 notes a second on guitar and people like it, then you've got talent, if you can make a great guitar arrangement for "Stars and Strips Forever" and people like it, you have talent, why compare people? There is absolutely no point to it, if you like Chet and you don't like Yngwie ( Spelling? ) then don't listen to Yngwie and listen to Chet, stop comparing.
I have a feeling that he did the "this is the end" bit because he was annoyed at the audience's clapping. Why audiences feel compelled to do that, when a master is playing, is beyond me.
How does this video not have over 1 million hits? Ke$a releases a new song and it hits 1 million before i can even puke while listening to it. I mean seriously, not only is chet a legend, but this particular music, patriotic and played with such beauty. Am I living in the U.S.A?
@CrAzzyWak :) Glad to see I can help. I tried to play it this afternoon and it seems very difficult, I wonder if I'm going to keep training on this one...
@CrAzzyWak Yea I'm pretty sure it's in Van Duser's book entitled "Stride Guitar". Good luck tackling that book, man. There's some serious stuff in there
By the way, when Chet put on this live performance, it was during a time when he was extremely sick. Chet played through several sicknesses that would have had a normal mortal person in the grave.
@SylvainBrunerie Hooray for the flag of the free May it wave as our banner forever! The flag of the brave and the free The standard of LIBERTY. MAY DESPOTS REMEMBER THE DAY THAT OUR FATHERS WITH MIGHTY ENDEVOUR PROCLAIMED AS THEY MARCHED TO THE FRAY THAT BY OUR RIGHT THAT BY OUR MIGHT IT STANDS FOREVER! THOSE are the words. Chet, I'm a little disappointed in you. As for the rest of you ... Fill in the blank.
I was lucky enough to be in Chet's office when he was learning this from Guy Van Duser's recording. He said "Let me play you this thing I'm learning" and proceeded to goof up the song part way through. He said "Damn, I knew this this morning!" This was an epiphany for me--geniuses had to practice,too! It changed my life and made me appreciate Chet even more.
I was lucky enough to be in Chet's office at RCA when he was learning this from Guy Van Duser....he said "Let me play you this song I'm learning..." and proceeded to play it---blowing it part way through.

It was a revelation to me, the first inkling that everybody had feet of clay...and it made me a better and more sympathetic person. Like Chet had been all along!
@basenjibigmama Very cool story, thank you for sharing. It is very inspiring to hear that someone with Chet's talent still have has to practice and put in the hard work.
I could not believe that he could get the piccolo part on top of the melody. In Sousa's march it goes straight first, and piccolo part the second time, which I think would have been a good way to do here, as it must be insanely difficult to do that.
I have been listening to every youtube Patriotic American cut I can find tonight. Obviously I am NOT ALONE!!!!!! Thanks to all who have founf the dozens of cuts I have listened to and saved... Patriotism is NOT lost, so, let's
anytime that I think a certain rock guitar player is really good, I have to go back to Chet, John Williams and Tommy Emmanuel. there's nothing 'wrong' with rock guitar at all.. it's just that THIS is where the real stuff is
I've been searching for years for this clip. I remember watching this (in 1978 i guess), and thinking this is the absolutely, outstanding, best guitar performance, by anyone, ever! And this was around the birth of the guitar hero age of Ted Nugent and many other hard rock guitarists of the time. And he did it on 6 nylon strings with 8 fingers.
Country (and Western too!) brought us many of the greatest pickers ever. Never flashy, just gettin' the job done.
For everybody who loved ( and still loves Chet) , he has a musical son. Tommie Emanuel does what chet did. Making a whole lot of people happy by playing guitar and beeing a very good person.
When Chet plays the piccolo solo AND the counter melody (1:48), I have to wonder how/why any human was ever given as much talent as Chet Atkins. Music needs a Chet Atkins so badly right now.
Dear Lord-please bring Chet Atkins back. You can have Taylor Swift in return.
When Chet plays the piccolo solo AND the counter melody at the same freaking time (1:48), that's other worldly. Sousa smiled down from above when he heard this. Chet could stand toe to toe with any clasically trained guitar player then or now. Music needs a Chet Atkins right now.
Dear Lord-please bring back Chet Atkins, you can have Taylor Swift instead.
Truth is, the music industry is trying to kill the guitar, and talent for that matter; they want auto tune and fake beats. One might say, they are an enemy to music.
I agree with you. They have been doing it for a long time by pushing their fasion based garbage down peoples throats. You can't rely on the mainstream to find great music, you have to go out and look for it yourself.
@rebelwithoutapause25 The ease with which he plays the contrapuntal parts of this section---flawlessy, as usual---knocked my jaw slack. I now realize that I can make better use of my time than making the noise that I do on guitar; the instrument has already been mastered !!! Tommy Emmanuel has the same effect on me :-) Perhaps i'll take up the kazoo..........:P Peace:-)
I had the pleasure of meeting Chet on several occasions when he was the guest artist with our orchestra. He was a great player and a wonderful person to be around. He could play any style of music. He did a little country, a little jazz and a bit of classical guitar. He could really work a crowd and put on a great show.
You are wrong my friend. America is actually very weak just google it and its all over the place. Countries crumblin, nigger runnin the show. sara palin runin around doin pornos. America is weak its a known fact. UR airspace sucks, you let towel heads smash into perfectly good buildings! a fucking PLANE got through your "air defences". How could your "air defences" stop 2137 thermal nucleasr warheads!? IN UR DREAM YA STUPID YANK!
I'm also here to listen to this on the fourth! Nothing like the glorious sound of fireworks, mortars, and Stars and Stripes Forever by the greatest guitar player to ever play, Chet Atkins. God Bless America, happy independence day! =D
I came here to specifically listen Chet play this today! July 4th! I'm a guitar player although I'm not up to par with Chet Atkins, it will take me a long to reach his level being able to play guitar like him!
Chet, mark knopfler and tommy emmanuel have a special relationship and talent for their styles in guitar. They gave worked together in different projects. Everyone should look up their collaborations.
@slickstrings hey ive looked for tommy and mark working together but can never find anything, did u mean just tommy and mark have worked with chet at different times? cause if tom and mark have picked together thats something id really love to see
@MrChetwannabe hey buddy. To my knowledge tommy and mark havnt performed together. I meant chet and mark and chet and tommy. Would be something to see though wouldnt it.
Is there something that Chet stumbled at on the guitar?, if so, I never heard it yet. The man was incredible in his feel and understanding of guitar music to say the least.
he's so cool, makes it looks so easy to play but you know it's not that really easy. need years of practice before it can be played like that. you bet?
He does sort of look like George Bush. Actually George Sr. is quite a good player himself. Chet is the definition of class. I aspire to be as good a person as he was because I will never be as good a musician.
In the intro (I'm not looking through all the comments) Chet said that Guy Van Duser, who arranged and plays this all the way through, was this kid who listened to all of Chet's records and played along with them -- and nobody told him that they were multi-tracked.
1 John, 5:19: "We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one." we could use a blessing or two if such is the case...I agree here. We all need God's help at this point, not just America...
r.i.p. Chet...u are still da man..!! If anyone know where the tab is for this...I sure would appreciate it. Not that I could ever come close to playing it half as good...

In the intro (I'm not looking through all the comments) Chet said that Guy Van Duser, who arranged and plays this all the way through, was this kid who listened to all of Chet's records and played along with them -- and nobody told him that they were multi-tracked.
Electrifying performance.

1 John, 5:19: "We know that we are from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one." we could use a blessing or two if such is the case...I agree here. We all need God's help at this point, not just America...
