You suck you suck you suck you suck
This title doesnt do Chet Justice.
I have been a fan since the 60's..i loved his duo with Mark Knopfler..a wonderful sound..poor boy blues..i sing every thursday at Kareoke..accompanied by my Harmonica.
Chet had a wonderful personality..and was very humbled..surely missed.
God bless Chet.r.i.p.💐❤️❤️
Using another picture to depict him is not welcomed
I honestly don’t know how you avoid being sued for you click bait “tragic ending” crap and pictures that aren’t who you lead people to believe they are. I knew these musicians and stars you say this about. It’s demeaning and disrespectful.
@@eightapeach2861 nothing disrespectful meant, these musicians touched my life as well & made me want to sing & harmonize & so it goes
A. There was no "tragic ending".....B. The "old man" picture in your "pitch".... is not Chet.
This video is an example of lazy, AI assisted production. this kind of content is going to ruin RUclips.
All fake shit😢😢😢😢😢
Clickbait picture!
No Kidding ! RUBBISH , click bait !
that's exactly what I thought! thank you!
Mr Guitar Certified Guitar Player! He was a good man he had humor and was smart his guitar playing influenced me . His music transcended genres his guitar runs were amazing! One of my favorites all time!!
I wouldn't use the terms "sad life" or "tragic ending" to describe a man who lived 77 years, was married for over 50 years to the love of his life, and who enhanced the world of music while establishing a unique style of guitar playing. He spent most of his life doing what he loved, which was playing the guitar, often in the company of other great musicians. Chet lived well and productively. He's a hero to many, including me.
I grew up on his music, Eddie Arnold, Red Foley etc.
Back in the early 80's, he was in the winner's circle after a horse I trained won. The usher politely asked me if I could scoot over a little to make room for Mr. Chester Atkins...I wheeled around on my heels and exclaimed, "You mean Chet!?"...and there he was. He got a big kick out of my outburst and I about took his arm off at the should shaking his hand. It remains a highlight and privilege of my life.
He was not only one of a kind, one of the best great musician ever he also had as a great leveled headed business man's mind. All I can say is he was one of a kind, never will be duplicated by anyone else and was a straight shooter in the music world!! Love the guy as the music man he was that had a very kind heart
He was the one all the others look up to... Is there better out there? No , just different.. Is Knopfler ,Emmanuel or Bresh, ect better? Ask them.. and they'll say no ... because he was their inspiration and their hero and close friend.
Was Chet better than Myrle Travis because he used more fingers ? No . Without Myrle there'd be no Chet.. Without Chet there'd be no Tommy...
His life was definitely not sad, and he died of cancer, which most of us will do if we get old enough. So quit posting this rediculous headlines, will ya?
Other than my family he was the greatest influence on me i have played guitar since 1956 i am now 82 and still trying to play like him so glad he came along for my generation we loved Chet
I'm 42, been playing since 1988 (6 yro) and Chet is one of my 3 biggest guitar heroes. I was born in the wrong generation. I often wish I was around back in the 40's and 50's so I could have seen the guitar take off....and when the world was still mostly decent...
KY & TN old musicians called that style "thumb pickin".
Please stop with the "tragic" crap and the picture that isn't him. What a turn off.
I met Chet in 1971 along with Jethro of Homer and Jethro. He was the most gracious person I have ever met. He has been my hero since I was 10 years old and I am 68 now. I wish I would have asked him for a thumb pick.
Chet has been a mentor of mine for over 60 years.
RIP Chet...
Was his life really sad and he ending tragic?!?! Quit Creating False Headlines to Get Clicks!
Speechless...
Chet Atkins number 1 guitarist on any Format
100% Agreed! AMEN!
The face on the right side in the thumbnail is NOT Chet. Click bait.
Heart strings was his legacy. He certainly pulled mine. GGG - Gentle, genius guitar maestro.
YOU NEVER MENTIONED WHAT HE DID FOR THE EVERLEY BROTHERS.
Chet liked the "thumb-picking" style of their musician father Ike Everly. Made friends, Chet recognized their tallent and originality & was a huge part of promoting them early on.
Just a genius. Insured Marcel Dadi, George Harrison ... Mark Knopfler, you name them.
Tommy Emmanuel TGP. The list is long. Rip Chet and thank you, God bless you for the joy you brought us.
You are absolutely correct. Thank you for that.
We will never forget this gift from God❤
Definitely not tragic.. He did everything he wanted to do.. He was the greatest and my absolute favorite.. Stop With the b*******
This could have been good but I had to give up after a few minutes. Why are showing young sheldon and the karate kid??? The act does not need it. Just saying
the ai voice was the first turn off for me
Misleading title to get views. You don't need click bait to get views when it's about chet. I don't play his style of music but he always motivates me when I listen to his legendary music
One of the finest gentlemen I have known during my lifetime. Always friendly, a business customer and the best ever on the guitar. Loved going to the Carousel to hear he and his buddies play night club contemporary jazz. He changed country music. What a man.
Wow! The one and only "Mr. Guitar"! Definitely his keen sense of music and his unique style of finger picking with no equal has left a vacuum in the world of Guitar picking and music, wonder if anyone can ever fill the same.
Why did you put a picture of someone else to the right of Chet? If the thumbnail is fake, how do I know if some of what you mention is fake as well. Personally, you shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this. I’ll never click on any of your videos again.
The old PBS show he did with Mark Knoffler, Emmylou, M.McDonald and others was great.
@@haraldarnesrvik2774 Thanks for the correction. Knew better later. Of all my guitar heros I should have not messed that up. Could have googled or looked on my old original Dire Straits LP from 1978 instead of fast typing. Thanks again.
You are mistaken when you say that Chet brought in Amy Grant in the 1960’s. You might want to familiarize yourself with her year of birth and year of first recording.
The best guitar player that the guitar ever new, I had the honor to own one of CHETS, it was a gift from Earl Clue. It was a. Resonate guitar, a copy of the delvecchio. Chet will Al was be the best master the
Guitar ever knew !!!!.
The best. Alot of guitar players have learned from this man and wish they could play a little more like him. I know i do
Chet Atkins die from cancer. Sad. He was a great man. Every one loved him. RIP🎚️
Tired of these so called sad and tragic ending BS videos! Lol That’s not even a real pic of Chet on the thumb nail cover. I knew Chet and that’s not him!! Just another documentary
What? This man was a giant in country music. He "made" country respectable and popular. He helped make many artists find their calling in Country Music. He lived a long, popular, successful and rewarding life. I see no tragic ending. Death comes to all of us sooner or later. He had a good family and a world of friends. What do you have?
Sad life? These would be good videos if not for the photoshopped thumbnail and clickbait titles.
Rolling Stones didn’t even put him in the top 20? WHAT DA. HE NEEDS TO BE PUT AT NUMBER AT #1 CHET IS THE GOAT OF GUITARIST.
My father was a country western song lover. He loved Chad Atkins. I was introduced to Chad Atkins when I was a kid because of my dad. I always wanted to play guitar like Chad Atkins. Well it’s a hell of a lot easier saying it then it is doing it. I have been a guitar player since 1974. I can read music finger style guitar music and have good dexterity in my fingers still to this day at 70 years old. I love guitar, but sometimes Chad Atkins style is really a Stomper after playing for 50 years, I still run into complications. But it’s not the guitar. It’s the person that’s playing it. Chad Atkins was one of my favorites. He will always live in my heart. He’s the one who inspired me to play guitar. Love you chat may you rest in peace.❤️😄👍🎼🎵🎶🎸
His name is not Chad.
It's Chester "Chet" Burton Atkins.
WHO is Rolling Stone Mag to decide the greatest guitar players of All TIme? As far as I'M concerned, I feel Chet ATKINS is the Greatest of ALL TIME!!!!! I am a drummer & in my 80's. Been collecting records since I was 16, so I KNOW my music! Anyway, great video of Chet! the Greatest Guitar Player of ALL TIME!!!!!!!
Chet Atkins and George Benson duet SUNRISE 🌅!!!
It's always '' tragic ''...sick of the clickbait.
Chet was my guitar hero from around 1957 and I went to his concert with Jim Reeves and Floyd Cramer in Port Elizebth, South Africa in 1962.
Likewise in Norway 1964 with Jim Reeves.
I had the pleasure of meeting Chet at the Wheeling, WV Jamboree in 1986, thanks to George Lund. Both my father and I are guitar players. Dad has gone on, but Chet Atkins heavily influenced my playing and led me to to my life in music, first as lead guitar in a rock band, and later in life playing Christian music. A photo of my family and I meeting Chet hangs in my home studio. I will never forget him. Shalom/gw
At 2:35, we see a 10 year old Chet rocking out on a Gibson Flying V!!!! Lolololol
I saw that...what gives these vids away as frauds is that narration voice though...maybe it is a.i. usually mispronounces simple words and uses made up works...
DEFINATELY , an outstanding musician & a " bridge over troubled waters " , by recognizing inter- racial artists , of many genres , a fine person .
Chet was the main influence from the first time I heard him. My father bought the album 'chet atkins in three dimensions'.
Ross Jarvis
I am a guitar player ( light-years behing Chet ) and I'd just like to say he just a joy to listen to. He was terrific. And also isn't it cool to think George Harrison turned many people on to Chet's contribution, first of all showing a lot of people their sight of a Country Gentelman and then playing in his style on Beatles songs
I got to speak with Chet on the phone during Merle Travis's passing . He wanted Billy Large to be a pallbearer . He was a very humble and loving man. He will always be my guitar hero .
Stop this “Tragic Ending” crap.
As a lifelong Chet fan and picker, I felt compelled to watch this. 🙄The content was evidently written and read by AI (“See Simmahn”, “Merley”?) The images are random or completely inappropriate, certain “facts” have been synthesized, and the chronology is a mess. It adds nothing to Chet’s story.
Chet faced hard times early in life, but he overcame them to become one of the most successful and beloved musicians in history. Everyone dies, but to characterize Chet’s life as sad and tragic is click bait plain and simple. Chet fans, don’t waste your time on this AI-generated tripe.
What an awesome Guitar Player!!, He tops them all as far as I'm concerned, hope to meet him one day.!!
I got to meet Chet at the 1985 C.A.A.S. convention. He played for us with his band and they were super smooth.
RIP Chet Atkin
A terrible and inaccurate video of a great man.
There are no words capable to describe Chet Atkins....
Listen quietly to him on a good quality system..
There!...
That's what i tried to express
😢Sadly, he's gone...
Chet Atkins was of course one of the all time great guitar players. However one has to remember there are a great many different guitar styles, from Chet style, to Jazz, to Rockabilly, to Rock, to Heavy Metal and so forth and so on. That being the case there is absolutely no way to rank the 100 greatest guitar players of all time. The only legitimate way to rank guitar players is by the number of records they sell and the number of concerts they sell out. In that respect I'm sure Chet ranks far higher than number 21. As far as growing up during the great depression a lot of people did that and as far as dying of cancer and other assorted things everybody does that. So I'll be content to remember Chet as one of the all time great guitar players.
Most esteemed Honorable influential Guitarist who influenced me Robert F Hatley
The music doesn't match the images, which don't match the text, which doesn't match the silly title.
One show i attended & saw Chet was in Decatur Alabama at the fairgrounds. Loretta Lynn's husband had just died & Chet and Jerry Reed filled in for her. They just played under a big tent, during the fair, like they probably often did 40-50 yrs. earlier. Chet asked for prayers for "Ms. Lynn and family" and said..."I'm sorry i'm not a "star" (like Loretta), "maybe just a semi-dim light bulb in the marquee of show business."
The footage shows that anyone who has performed with Chet Atkins is playing with Atkins with freedom and joy. This is especially noticeable in the case of Mark Knopfler, who has always been characterized by a strict, precise appearance.
ONE OF IF NOT THE GREATEST GUITARIST.
This is an extremely disrespectful video!
I have every album of Chet Atkins
Interesting documentary though chronologically confusing. Not nearly enough association and credit given to Paul Yandell and Merl Travis and Steve Wariner. The video pieces were a bit odd, but the information was generally accurate and most interesting.
Thumbs down for you. Change the title to:”The Miraculous Life and Achievements of Chet Atkins.”
that picture is not Chet Atkins ??? BS
1- He didn't have a sad life bur a great carrier as a musician. 2- I didn't have a "trahic ending" he died of cancer at 77 as, unfortunatly many of us do. 3-The old man on the picture is not Chet Atkins. 4-Cut the shit.
What was so tragic about his end?
Stay Tuned and Neck to Neck :my favourite album
Chet's favourite player was a young lad by the name of Lenny Breau. Chet took him under his wing until the student because better than the maestro.
Where do you get these stupid, unrelated video snippets?
The author, or authors, of this video is a liar. There is nothing in this video indicative of a "sad and tragic life." Any somewhat insignificant down times were a normal part of the process of what he ultimate became. His death at the age of 77 from cancer came after a long and successful life and career. Once again the author of this video titles it "the sad and tragic life of Chet Atkins" as click bait and it is a lie. You should be ashamed of yourself for casting aspersions in the video's title, at a man as great as Chet Atkins.
How about this: "The Renowned Life and Career of a Great Musician, Chet Atkins."
His life was anything but tragic. Interesting video, but still click bait.
The best
Extremely lazy and irresponsible video making. Lots of photos aren't even of Chet who didnt have a sad life at all.
That bs AI generated image is disrespectful of Chet.
How dare you post this!
Your efforts for a few pennies a month are resulting in nothing more a steaming pile of manure. Depression era kid who grew up to be an internationally recognized musician, celebrity, record producer and respected by all in his industry. You will probably do a series on the failures of Isaac Newton, NASA, Rembrandt and DaVinci next.
He didn't have a tragic end, or a sad life. This is bullshit.
Click bait - and a poor job of it at that
Only a handfull of guitarists reach the standard that Chet did.
Sad that he passed away before his time.
He did not pass away before his time.. He was not a young man when he passed he was in his 80s..
@@dannymuhammad8321 I am in my mid 80's and still here.
Only the good die young!
F’ing AI.
..earlier i saw a story like this with that ultimate catch up phrase " sad ending",it was about jerry reed!.Now i am just wondering if there is any proper law or rules and actions against spreading false news such as this !..😡😶!
Not a bit of his music in this documentary/ Sad.
What song was at 0:15 in the video?
Friend, there's NO tragic ending for anyone unless they go to Hell ! Do u get it ?
Ridiculous title…very disrespectful for this iconic legend.
AI needs work. Interesting tidbits in here though. Thanks
❤
I wish they would stop putting these awful pictures of people in here. Makes these videos less credible. Chet never looked like that.
Maybe idf I lern the guitar, people will like me.
I am wondering what motivates anyone to dish out this drivel; maybe that expression I just learned from reading the replies: "click-bait"
plenty of more skilled players than Chet, but i liked him
Good guitarist but I didn’t appreciate what he did to traditional country music. The Nashville sound of today isn’t country
Sure it is. It's just changed like everything else in life does.
I dont see nothing sad and tragic ending...
Chet is recognized by musicians & music organizations as the best guitarist ever :.
He would be the first to tell you that your statement is completely ridiculous.
Tragic?
Right its not chet
21 rated better by Rolling Stone? 😂
Brain & Colon Cancer is Tragic❗️
This was shit...rip chet what a great life
He was committed to diversity he didn't know that communist trick..he heard c.pride ..like c.pride and sign him...roll credits
