Chordplay - The Chords Of Jerry Reed

  • Hey everybody! Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords Of Jerry Reed. I created a Three-For-All lesson surrounding Jerry Reed earlier this year and since that time I've had a ton of requests/feedback to feature more of his music, which made me very happy to see, as he's been a musical influence on me since I was a little kid and before I even played guitar - so let's dive in!
    Jerry's quirky guitar style and music are very difficult to perform, and while this lesson features an assortment of "easy" Jerry Reed moments, there's nothing in this lesson that's actually easy to play - it's all hard, but most of the material featured here is easier to play some of his scarier/crazier stuff.
    This lesson includes chord-based sections from songs such as Navy Blues, Mule Skinner Blues, Tennessee Stud, Blues Land, If I Promise, and Swingin' '69 - to name a few.
    Needless to say, if you're a fan of Jerry Reed's music, a fan of classic country guitar playing from the 1960s/1970s, a player searching for some slick chord moves to stick in their bag of ideas, a player wanting to explore fingerstyle playing further, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you! Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!

    Reed was that killer combo of natural talent and dedicated practicing. He called himself a “guitar thinker.” He had the casual vibe of a guy around a campfire, while being one of the best guitarists who ever lived. The Guitar Man!

    Jerry was much like Glen Campbell in that they were multi-talanted. Comedy, showmanship, outstanding musicianship. He made highly complex guitar playing look easy.
    Great vid Brah.

    I was living in Nashville early 2000's and met him in a mom and pop music store. I knew he was an actor but had no idea he could play and when he picked up that guitar in front of me.... H.O.L.Y...S.H.I.T! I will never forget that day. Glad I got to shake his hand.

    The story about Elvis recording Jerry`s Guitar man song is freaking hilarious!
    Story goes, Elvis is at the studio with a bunch of studio musicians trying to record the song but the guitar players aren't making it happen.
    So after several frustrating hours, Elvis tells his crew to get a hold of Jerry. But they can't, because he is out fishing. Eventually they do, and Jerry walks into the studio still wearing his dirty fishing clothes. Upon seeing Elvis up close, Jerry says, God, you really are a beautiful man. haha Elvis visibly frustrated says, Thank you. Now can you please play this guitar part so we can finish this song. Gerry chuckled and said, I knew you would eventually call me.
    So before they got started, one of the Memphis mafia crew asked Jerry to step into the other room and handed Jerry a contract to sign. If I recall, it read that Gerry was signing over 50% of the song writing credit/royalties to Elvis. Jerry flat out refused to sign it and started to walk out and the mafia guy said, are you crazy? Elvis wants to record your song, Do you know what it means to have Elvis record your song? Do you realize how pissed he is going to be if you refuse to sign this? Every song Elvis records the songwriters sign this same contract. Gerry said, Lets put it this way, I just saw how pissed he already is in there that those guys can't get my song right, how pissed do you think he is going to be with you when the only guy that can do it, just walked out the door?
    He caved. After Gerry signed the new contract he laughed and said, I eventually knew you would come and get me.
    They asked, how did you know? Because, The guitar parts have all kinds of alternate tunings and fingerings, I knew they would never be able to figure it out and get it right.

    One of the greatest that ever lived. He comes across as this ol' country boy, but his songs were so intricate and mind blowing. He was just on another level beyond us mere mortals. I've often wondered how he learned to play and came to be such a virtuoso. Did he go to a fancy music school or was he self-taught? Did he have a mentor or teacher? How did he come up with these weird tunings he often used? I would have loved to just sit down with him and pick his brain, but I feel like he'd have just been evasive and be like, "Well son, I don't know. I just kinda do it. Now deal them cards and ante up!"

    Jerry Reed was a monster player. I also remember seeing players like Jerry and Chet in the 60's and 70's guesting on country TV shows and my mind was always blown at how good they were. These guys were guitar geniuses.

    Now that was a great video! Jerry’s playing is a thing that draws you in and then discourages you at the same time because he is so hard to imitate closely! Nothing like his style (which as you have said is all over the place). He’s actually my favorite guitarist. Been trying to copy for years and I still stop sometimes and think “I can’t believe Jerry thought this stuff up”! Amazing guitarist and the man in this video is great too! You had my full attention at “Jerry Reed”! Great job here!

    I was exposed to this type of music as a small child & hated every part of it, but I somehow knew that Jerry & a couple others had something special. In hindsight he was one of the coolest guys ever. I have some Guitar Player magazine tabs from early 80s of classic Jerry shred.

    Been a fan of Jerry Reed since I heard his version of Guitar Man on the radio in 1990. Found a country music shop that had many Reed albums. Eventually I bought many. Love his finger picking style on the nylon string and with YT see him play on TV. Great performer, writer, singer, actor and picker. I was at work in 2008 when a colleague had told me he died. Was upset for my shift and found out he died of emphysema. But, he left us with much to enjoy. Wish there was a good documentary on him, on his style, life, music and interviews. Nice guitar lesson.

    In Europe I think the movie Bandid and his song East Bound And Down put him on the screen. Jerry was an awesome player and entertainer. I don't use the term best or one of the best because it is used inflationary these days and can only be understood as one of my favourite instead. He is a unique character with lots of inspiration quilling out of him. As a musician he was unique as well and you can really hear that he is studying this instrument more than learning what was found out until then. This makes him outstanding. Great video. Will dig into these tricks and chords. Thanks mate.
