Jerry was a peerless thumbpicker, but what set him apart from all the other great pickers was PERSONALITY. Lord, that man lit up any room he walked in to, with or without a guitar. Every time I watch one of these old clips, I get very nostalgic for The Alabama Wild Man. There's never been anyone like him. The world became far less fun when he passed in 2008.
Sad thing is if someone like Jerry showed up today in Nashville and could play like this they wouldn't want them because talent like this isn't what they want today
A lot of people have forgotten or just don't know, maybe because of his acting career, but Reed was an excellent guitarist
He also played on some of Elvis's songs in the 70s.
Jerry Reed is simply one of the worlds best guitar players ever!!!
What a talent!!!
Jerry showed us what a love for the guitar and tons of practice could do. We should note that very few guitar pickers got close to Chet Adkins. Jerry was one of the few. I shed tears that both Jerry and Chet are gone, but their music will live on and will be standard for all guitarists. Thanks Jerry. RIP
honkpimpie ,when Jerry hit Nashvegas, Chet was more into record production ,and when he heard Jerry he got him started doing session work,they would jam and Chet recording many of Jerry's guitar instrumentals, the two album's they made together should be in everyone's collection .Two the best at the top of their game ...
When Jerry, Chet and Roy passed away, a big chunk of America died too.
And Glen
@@garyhiland6013 And oh so many.
I figure Mr. Jerry Reed was underrated as a guitarist because he primarily played country......If he played any other genre, he would be regarded as highly as Vaughn, Hendrix, Lee, Paige......etc...........R.I.P. Mr Jerry.
Pick it Son! What a total package Jerry was. Nice to see people still appreciating his talents.
Jerry Reed is one of the most unique guitarists of all time. A true master of the instrument.
One of the greatest players ever to pick up a guitar. RIP Jerry!
What a powerhouse of Talent and Personality!!! I never get tired of his videos.. He's got a new venue now...and what lucky people they are!
People who don’t play don’t realize what a genius this guy is, and he plays it off joking and wisecracking, like it ain’t nothing....Right. I hear ya
Jerry and Chet just OOZED taste and musicality, beauty, humility. OHH!!!
Like Roy Clark
I think playing the joklster is part of the tradition with these country players. I guess that's where the idea of picking & grinning is derived. Roy Clark was the same way--a total cornball with crazy guitar chops.
One of the all time under appreciated greats.
Most underrated guitarist of our time. A true innovator and master of the guitar. Chet Atkins even recorded over 30 Jerry Reed songs. And that's Paul yandell who went on to play with Atkins for 25 years. Great rhythm guitarist in his own right.
My favorite guitarist, Jerry... your still the man!!!!!!
His guitar was way ahead of it's time...Rip Guitar Man
Never hardly see Jerry on a Les Paul, and hes blowing away all the guitar gods in 5mins. Making that Les make sounds ive never heard before. RIP Jerry thanks for the memories and inspiration.
Classy set when the camera backs out- and you see the industrial floor. And then there’s the fact that you can hear the other guys more than jerry.
And lastly, he reminds of a banjo being played under the sea , a happy, carefree sound
March 20, 1937 - Jerry Reed is born in Atlanta, Georgia. He learned to play the guitar at eight years old after his Momma bought him a $2.00 Guitar. And the rest is history! Rest in peace Jerry. You may be gone, but your music and your memory live on in our hearts!
Babybluebbw thank you Mrs. Reed for buying that guitar! :-)
Sometimes you find footage of someone and you think this is literal footage of their greatest moment on earth. I get goosebumps hearing such beautiful playing. Jerry Reed had more talent than we knew, imagine him doing just instrumental music. It would have been culturally defining. To top it of he starts this off by saying he'd been "doing a lot of praying". God Bless Jerry Reed and thank you for having the passion and courage to bless our nation with such amazing tunes.
You gotta love TV then as well as Jerry Reed. Man those were the days!
Sadly , kids know him best as the mean coach who fired Water Boy
so beautiful, especially the transitions, snowbird-sublime
Jerry Reed must be one of the guitar greats, ever
He most surely is.
areh
Next to Chet Atkins

Jerry Reed "Guitar Man"
Great playing and a GORGEOUS LP.
I remember being a young boy in the Uk seeing smokey and the bandit,when I found out it was snowman singing eastbound n down,i asked my old man if he could find me some jerry reed records,he did and not long after that I got my first guitar all due to the great mans music and influence.
Jerry was one of the best guitarists country music ever knew.
Also gotta mention that's a beautiful Les Paul he's playing.
Mr Reed was/is a class act.🗽🗽🗽👍👍👍
The one and only!!! There will never be another.
Reed ,and Campbell were hands down ….the best guitarists in country music and then some……...
Chet Atkins admitted a number of times that Jerry Reed was actually a better picker than he was, with much less time devoted to his craft (so much time spent on goofy movies, etc). Reed was a truly natural prodigy who could play from the moment he picked up the instrument. Glen Campbell was good but not at Jerry's level. Chet Atkins and Roy Clark are the other two premier country guitarists. Roy's 12th street rag and Malaguenia are stellar and can be seen here on You Tube. Chet and Jerry were Travis' style pickers, Roy a straight picker who also won the National Banjo Championship as a teen.
Roy is my cousin!
best anywhere. Guys today are astounded by him
It's hard for me to good there are so many great guitarist in country music you had Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings and Vince Gill and the latest one is Brad Paisley. But my all-time favorite would have to be Jerry Reed. The best lead guitarist for any man was probably Luther Perkins for Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two and then later on it was Johnny Cash and Bob Wooten in the Tennessee three.
Dustin Vince Gill is my favorite guitarist.
As always Jerry shows what a great guitarist he was. Equally impressive is the drumming by Larry Londin. RIP Snowman.
what iv always enjoyed about this man, is how humble he always was and funny. he always made jokes like i dunno if i can play this but we gonna try, yet he knew he could blinded folded. kids could learn a lot from the old pickers. and im not even a country music fan parse. i dig what i grew up with of course which were some of the great country pickers. but what i hear on the country radio these days is just pop with twang. shrugs.
holy carpfish!!! Smooth as silk, cool as ice cream and plays sizzling hot.
amazing! And the presenter is prolly the hippest dood I've seen.
Ok, Now can you send someone over here to pick my Jaw up off the floor please.. Jerry really was the stuff, I had the privilege to work with him in the 90's, he had his wife on keyboards also,, Great memories of him that day for sure...
Awesome picking he takes to a whole new level.
Amen brother!
I was so used to seeing him wail on a Tele, I was surprised to see him holding a LP Deluxe; needless to say, he did whatever he wanted with it...
I hate to repeat my comments, but that was amazing... simply blew me away.
Remarkable so I’m remarking... thank you for a grand reminder of the old t.v daze!
I love Jerry's playing but the accompaniment is too loud in this recording.
Who can put a smile on a face like Jerry could?😄
I love music so much.
Pickers are better than pluckers. All guitar is amazing though :D Did anyone else cry listening to this?
Jerry Reed is hands-down my guitar idol. If I become a mere hundredth the picker Mr. Reed was I'll die a happy man.
R.I.P. Son.
A true musical fucking genius and a hell of a funny guy RIP Snowman
One of the Greatest
Waouh !! Thanks a lot !! J'adore Jerry depuis trés longtemps.
This man was a guitar God.
Jerry and Glenn ought to have had a dual. Maybe toss in some Roy Clark as well.
Play it, son!
An amazing and underrated guitarist. Jerry Reed was always one of my favorites as a kid.
Wow, can you imagine what all the guitars on that stage are worth now? He is truly one of the greats.
24/7 praying this music cracking wow
I love Gibson Les Pauls, but nothing cuts like a Fender Telecaster. Still a treat o see him playing one.
If Jerry's amp was very loud on stage, then the sound tech would have to reduce the volume at the mixing board to make the mix correct for the audience.
The sound feed for this vid was probably straight off the board with no separate mix for the video.
This is a long time ago, but I've heard exactly the same thing happen a few times.
Jerry's playing is still awesome!! :)
I agree. Exactly what I was going to say!
I met Jerry with Dolly Parton and Glenn Campel when I was 10 years old. He is one of the reasons I've played giutar for over 40 years. Notice the echoplex he's playing through? Still have the exact model today. And what about Porter Wagner's hair!
Seeing Porter Waggoner and Jerry Reed interacting before his medley should also be a cool 'moment in time'.
Lynn Anderson recorded her famous version of this in 1973, and the Porter Wagoner show went to an outdoor set sometime in the late 70's, so I'm pretty sure that this would have had to have been sometime in the mid-70's.
Joe South, a good friend of Jerry Reed, wrote this song and had it on his 1969 "Introspect" album... Jerry is playing the Lynn Anderson arrangement from 1970,71
Jerry is the man.What a marvelous guitar player-composer! And Funny!
The absolute most talented picker ever !!
Jerry really cooks , even when he holds back and tones down to the pop audience .
A true picking master. I miss you, Snowman!
Those Snowbird licks were sick! Can't stop listening to that stuff.
I gave it my yearly try...using Cool-edit pro, I tried for the umpteenth time to restore Jerry's solos in this video....there is just nothing that can be done. You can't restore something that isn't there. Every year, I get excited thinking "I can do it NOW!" The only thing I can think to do is find the original guitar, the original echoplex and the original amp and have someone like Phil Hunt or Richard Smith recreate some of the parts where Jerry disappears. It might also be cool to get a lower generation video copy as well! Anybody know who owns that guitar?
Thank You ,My friend ! I have been begging for someone to post this forever. My prayer has been answered . THANK YOU !!!!!!!!
Anyone have a line on this faster version of snowbird? Chet's is great, but I honestly prefer jerry's version here.
@galberke2009 Europe isn't the only place that Reed isn't that well-known. Here in the US, most people know him for his role in the 'Smokey and the Bandit' films instead of for his great guitar work and songwriting! Fortunately, I came across him a few years--about four now, I think. But, yeah--it certainly is a shame that not too many people seem to know about Reed's great music and especially his guitar work.
Rose Garden, love that interpretation.
and before anyone dismisses jerry as just the truck driver in Smokey and The bandit, (which, of course, he was), he was virtually a musical prodigy. No less than Chet Atkins (Jerry's father-in-law, BTW) once said that he never knew anyone that could pick up a lick or melody as quickly Jerry Reed.
Nobody plays like Jerry Reed, he's gotta be the most unique, and probably the greatest guitar player that ever lived.
Too bad the band is covering up many of his songs.
2 words......... Willie Nelson
Look up roy clarke from hee haw
He even played guitar on some of Elvis's recordings in the early 70's
Well, there are a lot of great ones. One guy that Jerry and Chet followed was a guy named Merle Travis. He was awesome, too.
I have a 1976 Deluxe sunburst just like his.....I bought mine in 1980.....It's worth around $ 3200.....Of course if you could get Jerry's it would be worth a lot more !!!!......He was always one of my favorite pickers, one of the all time best...
I've got one of his old teles.
Ferocious player
You are greatly missed Jerry.😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
History at its best. I wish music had not been forgotten.
You know what I really hate? When somebody uploads a video like this and forgets to name the songs. You didn't forget, and as a result, I discovered Snowbird. Thank you!
Always have and always will love listening to anything Jerry plays nice player....
Too bad that Jerry's so low in the mix. He was an amazing talent and not just on guitar.
I thought the same thing, bad mixing job, that lead guitar should be out in front and instead I hear mostly rhythm guitar.
Damn I miss Jerry. Not only he's one of the greatest guitarist but a great all around fun guy. Jerry, I love you man.
The acoustic player is bloody good too cheers.
Nice LP Jerry, hope you and George and partying away...
Holy cow! I'm tired and all I did was watch...
Jerry Reed was an incredibly talented guitarist in anyone's measure.
I got work n im drunk as donkey balls..5hrs till start..fukit im yougooglin more jerry n tommy emanual...from aus cobba
Paul Simmons yep Jerry was one of a kind like Earl Scruggs.

The drummer is Larry Londin; played on thousands of Nashville studio sessions; did many drum overdubs for Elvis in the late '70s, especially for Elvis' live albums ; he also played drums for Elvis live on occasion ('76, '77) when Ronnie Tutt had another commitment; Londin drummed with Elvis at his last concert ever on June 26, 1977
Jerry also played guitar on some Elvis recordings
Jerry Reed killin on an old LesPaul.wOw..!!
Another great guitarist, many in the music business world praise Jerry as one of the best guitarists, and great sense of humor.
Would have been a dream to hear Joe South, Jerry Reed and Ray Stevens playing together back in their early Atlanta beginnings....
Holy shite that's some seriously great picking.
WOW just WOW. Such a pure player, so pure.
Rest in peace Jerry! Love your music as much as Chet Adkins did!
Not sure of the date of that recording, but going by the 'big Elvis collars' and 'boxtail shirt', along with that 1972 Les Paul guitar that Jerry is sporting...I'll go with 1974-1976...this was probably a year or so before he made 'Smoky and the Bandit'....
While I don’t like music like this at all, I can definitely appreciate the talent.
Jerry.....you are really missed down here.....rest in peace.....your records will never be forgotten.....
How the fuck can someone be so fucking good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?
He was a very relaxed guy. Picking comes easy when you chill...
Id like to say ...practice but its not its genius!
I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Hunstville Al.
im only 15 and somkey and the bandit is when i saw him 4 the 1st time
the world has lost a legend
Fantastic! Really cool to see Jerry playin' a les paul. Don't know if I've ever seen him play a solid body (listened a lot more than watched with him). It's a shame, though, that the backing bad was way too damn loud. Drowned him out more than a few times.
I completely forgot about all the times he breaks out the tele. Idk, it's just weird to see him with a les paul. Threw me off a bit.
Burt n Jerry fight in Gator, was awesome. Gonna do what they say, can’t be done.
this is my favorite performance on youtube
Just awesome
Early 70s les paul deluxe with the goof rings. Nice.
I noticed that too. Looks like standard Humbuckers were replaced with Mini Humbuckers.
"WHERE YOU AT!?" IM TRYIN TO SHOVE SOME GROCERIES DOWN MY NECK!! RIP
He plays old school country music man, they are all moonshine and cigars. He's not a long hair. And...you are a Jerry Garcia fan I presume.
