1958 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 played by JD Simo

cartervintage....
A classic 6120 Chet Atkins in excellent condition! This single-cut Grestch is loaded with its original filtertrons pickups which tonally sit perfectly between a humbucker and a tele. The finish is in beautiful condition with a faded orange color. Few guitars sound like a Gretsch and this is a prime example of their most popular model. This guitar was previously owned by Ed King.

He doesn't get enough credit to be honest. JD should be worldwide famous. Such a good player.

[@johnl.6930]

Give Mr. Simo a guitar, any guitar and he will coax,wrench and wrangle every tone appropriate for that piece with so much class and style! He is becoming one of my favorite guitarist at this time ! Keep on rocking in the free world JD!!!

[@danbrewer2003]

When I hear and watch JD play, i gotta grab my guitar and play!

[@lisasez]

I concur

[@saxMD2008]

Now I’m gonna be awake all night practicing.

[@doctordox6278]

I swear, no one out there is as inspiring as JD. This dude plays everything, better than most. And with so much feel, its insane.

[@richardfay825]

Love watching this guy rip it up on the Vintage axes.

[@aschneider70]

The best right hand in guitar nowadays! What others do with fingers or hybrid picking JD do with his pick. Amazing touch and dynamics!

[@bleeknoir]

JD is KILLING it with his more authentic approach these days. Loved the latest TrueTone Lounge episode.

[@Hiwatt100W1]

Really nice playing...just shows what a great player can do with a classic guitar straight into a good amp!

[@BradCS356]

Amazing demo and inspiring playing!!! One of the best I’ve ever heard.

[@sissyandbella]

I could watch JD play all day.

[@sowhat5150]

What a great time for rock n roll and guitars that must have been.

[@darianoechslermgp]

Thats THE Gretsch Sound

[@user-sw3qu2ix8d]

Beautiful Gretsch Sound, I love.

[@FleetwoodApp]

My gosh, everything about this is perfect. What a player and what a guitar!

[@user-yx7dp2pl8t]

This is so good! The best most ear magnificent thing since I found Billy Strings. Thanks

[@Echocat59]

Listen to Brian setzer and danny gatton if you want to hear this style of playing done really well. Lots of what's being played here are straight gatton riffs.

[@kcave23]

I have to be honest... This was so much fun to watch and listen to. Great job JD and CVG! Great Stuff!

[@darrellnesler1883]

I have spent my whole and always will in search for that 6120 Chet Atkins model but nothing is cheap anymore,not like the times when I was growing up you could by a fairly economical car for 2,000. Nowadays no matter you look everything you shop for is online

[@CurtisMcLeodMusic]

Just so you know, I am subscribed to hundreds of channels and yours is the only one that I “clicked the bell” and get alerts for.
Favorite.
Bar none.

[@jeffyranks6773]

[@dekzan]

Words can't say how great he is...annnnd, he sings , toooo

[@davidsmoler9144]

Love that Gretsch sound! And that Gretsch orange!

[@macauley70]

JD has a lot of imagination he's very creative. imposible to compare with nobody.. well his technique is supreme

[@Echocat59]

If you want to hear rockabilly played well listen to danny gatton and Brian setzer.

[@chester777ful]

Smokin' J.D. Simo!

[@Dagger_323]

jclev99 I’d say that’s a good thing lol

[@shanetankey3340]

Is there anything this guy can't play? Gifted .

[@Sarvets]

damn this made my day lol. what a ripper

[@biggussniffus5537]

I hope he bought that guitar, because whoever else bought it would have to live with knowing they'll never play it as well as JD.

[@mattmikkelsen]

Fantastic playing! Clips like this are why you are one of my favourite channels....killer guitars showcased by the best players around! I've just posted a free transcription of the first two minutes(up until the Summertime Blues riff) on my channel.

[@robclute]

What kind of delay was used here?

[@pg123ab]

Oh man……taking that babe for a ride! JD rules

[@Dailyvids25]

[@DeliriumDayz]

[@los_rubos]

Damn Son

[@Bajosextomario23]

This guys plays Eddie Cochran , Scotty Moore, Brian setzer, chet Atkins licks all in one song.😮

[@turnstyles9130]

that's just straight picking right? no finger picking going on? so good

[@kevinwilson1124]

He's better than Bonamassa. I'm sorry, and I love Joe.

[@Paxilthedog]

he is very creative for sure !

[@kevsnyder]

Apples and watermelons

[@richfiryn]

That's funny, Joe can and does run circles around JD. But JD is damn good for sure.

[@fandangodrive4310]

I don't understand why people go out of their way to post crap like this just enjoy it and STFU

[@ybblue2732]

[@sonicsuperantihero5048]

…AND he does the guitarparts in the Elvis movie.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Dizzyingly dancey Rocka-billy Duane Eddie, Eddie Cochrane Setzer-atkins with a rebel attack!!

[@darrenthompson8376]

44,000 peeps watched this and didn't think to like it? weird...

[@shredabong]

Insane

[@zororosario]

Kick-Ass awesome playing this guitar to it's best.

[@kenhorneland7060]

Pretty f#cking good 😳

[@division17]

Epic

[@Drawson663]

What’s the song he starts to play at 3:00

[@zogaathetgoed]

What Fender amp is he using in this video?

[@ronnieblanchet4072]

Soli Deo Gloria

[@reverend1015]

Amazing ! What is the song in 2min? Thanks

[@iCanDoTheCarlton]

Tomas Skuhrovec “Summertime Blues” by Eddie Cochran

[@imannonymous7707]

Yeee hawww

[@piggycity]

Tearing shit up!

[@johnr8820]

What pedal?

[@johnstasio6205]

How much for the tag ?

[@sacagaweaandthehunters8195]

Song at 1:56? I can’t remember the name 🙈🙈

[@nisseungen11]

Summertime Blues

[@BastognePitBull]

I'm a gonna raise a fuss indeed.

[@richfiryn]

Well that didn't suck at all !!!

[@gretschguild]

I've got a 6120 but not these fingers. :)

[@Echocat59]

Everyone commenting here needs to listen to Brian setzer and danny gatton. I mean he's playing gatton riffs left and right. Those guys play rockabilly and can run laps around this guy. Jd is great, but hes no setzer or gatton when it comes to this style of playing. I'm not knocking this guy at all. I'm just stating facts

[@billhatcher9303]

See Danny gatton for how this is done…..

[@garyssimo]

No need to...JD is DOING IT right here.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

[@popeyesailor9571]

[@garyssimo]

I agree. just a touch too much.
