  • Chet Atkins and Paul Yandell (from Mayfield, Ky) on various live performances. Chet is seen using a Epiphone Country Gentleman (I think) and a Herco thump pick. Paul played with Chet for many years. These videos were originally recorded on VHS tape and then transfer to DVD many years later.

    I'm a Chet Atkins fan and always will be. But the first song in this video shows just how versatile and underrated Paul Yandell is as a guitarist. 90% of the cool licks were done by him. That's the cool thing about Chet. He recognized the greatness in other musicians.

    Paul Yandell is one of the greatest unsung players. So unassuming. He could do it all, but he was the best support player/guitar orchestrator. Keef calls it weaving. And Yandell knew how to knit it into the tightest weave you ever heard.

    Starts with the Epiphone, plays Gibson's Classic Electric nylon string, Gibson Tennessean, Gibson Country Gentleman among others. His deal with Gibson led to him using different guitars for his appearances in a promotional sense. He recording with his 1959 Gretsch Country Gentleman almost exclusively when it came to electric guitars. Used a Brazilian Delvecchio resonator guitar forever, had a classical made by Hascal Haile (local builder in Tennessee I believe, not sure of the state actually) that he recorded extensively. Then Kirk Sand made the nylon classic electric that he used until he died, and was the basis of the Gibson production model but a much nicer guitar. He played various Gretsch's over the years. The Super Axe which had built in effects, the Gretsch Super Chet which was supposed to be a high end guitar. Gretsch started going downhill and after Fred Gretsch died, Chet moved to Gibson (due to his loyalty to Fred Gretsch) for his endorsements. That 1959 CG was and is a spectacular guitar. The re-issue that was basically a clone is quite nice as well.
