- Chet and Jerry were in the limelight in 1992 with another Grammy award winning album, "Sneakin' Around." That CD led to several show dates together, including this performance at the Bottom Line. The instrumentals played by these two guitar giants will be played and studied as long as there are guitar players on the planet. From the DVD "Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed In Concert at the Bottom Line June 22, 1992." More info at www.guitarvide...
There was a comment on here that if you are a guitar player and end up in a room with these two you soon realize you are merely a guitar owner.
I love Jerry Reed. People can call Chet the best, but in my eyes, ears and heart Jerry Reed is....
Equals. 😊
Reed's solo is not as simple as it sounds, his subtle syncopation is perfect on this one!
Everyone understands Chet and Jerry's talent but that harp player blew me away. Thats also as good as it gets.
Pat Bergeson never ceases to amaze me with his incredible line sense.
Jerry and Chet could probably play a little toy piano and make it sound beautiful and in sync.
Miss them very much. Thank you GtrWorkShp for the post.
I knew both of these excellent guitar men and they were both GENIUSES !!!
Well it just doesn't get any better than this, now does it?❤❤❤
No..not of this planet
This is just darn near PERFECT!
Top tier playing...
Boy, that is some beautiful playing!
Thems some real experts there---hard to hire a bunch like that just any old time---.
Jerry Reed is so very slick!!!!
You just can't find that good music now-a-days. People don't realise good music & talent anymore, Thank you for posting.
Terrific >
Pat does a great job on both guitar and harmonica. Chet was lucky to find him.
+Doug Hendrixson He's a big talent and you can tell he loves what he does.
Great playing by Chester and Reed, on a tune from the '30's, originally recorded, I believe, by the Ellington Band, with Paul Whiteman's vocal group, the Rhythm Boys (which included a talented kid named Bing Crosby).
Chet and Jerry are always sublime; the guy playing chromatic harp is BRILLIANT.
amazing grace. Thank God for the beautiful music! God bless!
These guys were so friggin good. Miss them.
Appreciate them, Chet, Jerry more everyday

When I listen to those two, I always find myself smiling. And where are they when I need a good smile? Dead.
Unfortunately bro. Time takes its toll on all of us . Even guitar gods.. I really hope your doing well. And smiling.
Superbly entertaining.
I've always liked chat Atkins & played music w/bob saxon for many yrs who played chets style on guitar. I basically a piano/keyboard musician, play popular tunes incl dixieland jazz but also play tenor banjo, upright bass, spanish & tenor guitar incl tenor sax.
Chet Atkins was one of a kind genius in his style & we may never see another to replace his style.

To the five of you that gave this lovely song a thumbs down... didn't your daddy or mommy teach you ANYTHING?
thanx for chet and jerry ;]
I'm sure Chet and Jerry are jamming together in Heaven as we speak. I wish I was there right now!!!!
Don't be in a hurry: It will happen.
An unstoppable guitar force unbeatable players at there very best.
The electric guitar player and harmonica player is sensational too.
My God that was good!
This son was written by Bert Halmar and Harry Rubby. A duo that wrote a string of hits 1920s to 1947.
What would it be like to have these 2 come over for Thanksgiving dinner? They bring their instruments to somewhat pay their for their keep!! haha, what a treat that would have been. Sad that they are gone.
I like it!
Now that's nice!
LOVE LOVE TO LISTEN TO THOSE TWO GREAT MUSICIANS AND HUMAN BEING
GENTLEMAN LIKE EASY MUSIC LOVE THAT.
In guitarists today, it's hard to find people who put the same kind of soul into their playing, some people are incredibly talented in their own ares, Slash for example in the rock licks, Joe Satriani produces unquestionable masterpieces, Chet and Jerry are the most talented ever, heart and depth is extremely rare to come by nowadays, the music around today is an embarrassment compared to everything done by Chet, Jerry, The Beatles,etc, still, nothing compares to these two players (Chet & Jerry)
To John Menuis . .Yup! that is it! (or at least a guitar set up the same). Check out strings 5 and 6 (the top two), those indeed are bass guitar strings (I play a bass myself). You know the rest of the story, when Chet played finger style with this setup it sounds like a guitar and bass duet, all on the same guitar! Solo Flights was great, hunh? I wore the grooves out on it! Wonderful music coming through here and they will certainly be missed. Thanks for the post Gtrworkshp!
-Paul Yandell is the guy on the left,who has been Chet's sideman for over 25 years.Pat Bergeson is the guy on the right,who has also been a sideman of Chet's for many years.I think he was a neighbor of Chets also.
The gentleman on the left is Paul Yandell, he played backup...I dare not say rhythm, guitar with Chet for years....and Jerry too.
Man, sometimes i hate to see these guys play. They are simply too good to imitate!
@packingone I think its challenging to take a clean tone and make it sound simple yet rich in melody. When I shred out saturated amps its somewhat easy to get instant gratification playing metal or rock. But when I started solo acoustic I felt naked, like a beginner learning how to play because I couldn't hide behind the distortion textures and support of other instruments in a band. Even after you learn a song its another challenge to make it come alive with conviction. Thats another feat!
Mighty fine harp playin’
I Think That The Way Jerry Reed Was Dressed Was Very Awesome.His Atlanta Braves Base-Ball Hat Looked Very Very Handsome Wearing His Atlanta Braves Base-Ball Hat.Because Jerry Reed Was Brn. In Atlanta Georgia.There Was Nothing Wrong With The Way Jerry Reed Was Dressed So What If He Didn,t Button His Bottom Button On His White Shirt.Great Job Jerry Reed N Chet Atkins N Paul Yandell.N Pat Bergusion.
I have to say the harmonica guy is excellent
He looks like Pat Bergeson.. He seems to have been a regular member of Chet and Jerry's band.
+1 Hi There D Gallent..You Shouldn't Be Saying Mean Things About Jerry Reed I Thought That The Way Jerry Reed Was Dressed Was Very Neat... The Reason That Jerry Reed Word His Atlanta Braves Hat Because He,s A Antlanta Braves Fan .. Because He,s From Atlanta Georgia... He Loves Playing His Guitar Jerry Reed Was A Great Guitar Picker.. So Was Chester B...
peaceful serene
Good job .. really sounds nice. 5/5 from me !
the best!
Yea your mostly right but there are still a few of us youngsters with taste on the guitar!!
The Good, the Great, the Best. Jules.
thats not a peg missing its the bolt and nut for the bridge. they use it when gluing the bridge on
they played what the loves
they played what the heart loves
so..you know what the three little words are??
As the song goes, "three little words, eight little letters that simply mean I Love You"
@636117 I'm from Sweden and the southest part is pretty north too =) so I didn't know that, but thx anyway
Forget? Jerry Reed was a ridiculously good guitarist, and everyone knew it!
I love how jerry played that ol cheap baldwin and made the best out of it, shows he was a true guitarist, didnt need a high dollar guitar to show true talent, the music nowadays isnt nothing to this, wish i had one of those baldwins, id choose it over ne high dollar guitar ne day of the week
So true man. Same
Ain't the wrench, it's the mechanic!
@@eddylauterback1312 cant disagree with ya there, but like willie on his baldwin, it wouldnt be willie without it!
I had read from Paul Yandell that Jerry was very sick when this was done. No he wasnt nervous, he got over that years ago but he was ill. Why the shirt not buttoned right i dont have a clue. i dont think it meant anything except he didnt button it right. i know i have done that myself.
Estuve aqui
Is it just the camera angle deceiving me, or is Chet’s action super high?
skiffle wow ty
@coollein No, that's not Jerry's actual son. It's a Southern trait, to refer to close friends as "son".
Harmonica player was amazing! Who was it?
That is Pat Bergeson. Great guitarist who until just a few years ago played exclusively with up strokes! Until he used a thumbpick. Look around and watch some of his solos. Great guy and musician.
can anyone point me in the direction of a video of chet or jerry's guitar collections???
@636117 I've heard Jerry Reed sing "Take it son" so I thought so
@brucew44guns amen, brother. look me up when we gather at the river...
No he wasn't drunk, he was nervous...I was there! Shirt unbuttoned because he had gained some weight. Nervous because he did not like to play guitar in front of an audiuence especially Chet Atkins who was his idol. He did this to promote an album they did together.
Harmonica player is Pat Bergeson who now lives in Nashville.
Great harmonica...whos he?
he had an atlanta braves cap on
that used to be where the volume contol was but Jerry moved it
I think the latter. In pop music today, it seems to be not as important to be a good musician as it is to be a style icon. Can't say I'm too happy with that development, but there are plenty other music styles which have extremely talented musicians. I say we leave the pop charts to the 15 y/o's and use the awesome internet to explore the more talented music genres :)
"hmm that's not it" hahah
awesome
I uploaded Jerry and Chet's version of Don't Think Twice from this live concert on my channel, check it out!
Ha ha - anyone see the peg missing from Jerry's bridge?
Is that Jerry Reed's son? Cause I've heard him in some songs but never seen him.
yeah, i was wonderin about his dishoveled look too? But how could he have been nervous when he used to play all those performances with Chet in the 70's, Chet even produced one of his albums too?
@packingone From my observation Jerry has always had a screw loose. I miss his talent and humor.
I Could Just See Jerry Reed Playing A Tambourine It Would Sound Awesome..... Chet Atkins Could Play A Little Toy Piano Like The Charlie Brown Character Named Sherdor I Love It When Lucy Takes The FootBall Away From Charlie Brown ...What Would Good Ol Jerry Reed Do If Lucy Took The FootBall Away From Jerry Reed N Jerry Reed Landed on His Butt.. Lucy Would Say To Jerry Reed You're A Block Head...
Jerry never played better. Chet is just Chet :-))...Jack Baker NYC
@636117 You tell him, son...he needs to watch Smokey and the Bandit!
@daffydoug Sure sounds like it!!
Rick Jolley
Where is the octave down bass coming from? An unseen bass player or Chet's guitar. I know on his album Solo Flights he used his "Octabass". Is tht it?
Who's the third man?
"Where's Les Paul when you need him?"
@elletsco Hey, Tommy Emmanuel is still alive. Easy now, big fella.
Why are you comparing these guys at all? Slash is an exceptional musician among those to emerge in the last 3 decades. Jerry played alongside Tony Rice, and yet sounded no less a musician. A great musician has to be great, not greater. Hey, new kid on the block Knopfler came along and in just one collaboration left for posterity evidence as to how taste is where it's at--Chet in tens of albums and hundreds of recorded performances had not been able to put on record what Mark coaxed outta him.
@elletsco
I know what you mean. But your words are not true. Slash and many other players today have a lot of heart in their playing! To say, there is no player with feeling today is bulshit. Of course, there'll never be another Chet atkins oder Jerry Reed, but a lot of other great players!
@ColtDeltaElite10mm I Realy could've said that better myself rock guitar players to me has always been overrated who cares how loud they can turn up an amp they can't hold a candle to C.G.PS.
There seems to be more of the shitty ones now. Or perhaps they just get played more.
He plain wasn't feeling well. He had the flu. It's a wonder he played at all...
would have loved to see jerry garcia pick with these guys...
Is Jerry drunk??? Look at his shirt, untucked and not buttoned right! LOL
Actually, Jerry is not very good in this concert video. I think he was sick, or sick drunk. I still love him, but this isn't his best work, and Chet is already old here.
hate harmonicas.
I don't see much difference. There were both great and shitty musicians then and it's the same now.
