Don't forget John Knowles who wrote many of Chet's arrangements for him. John was also the first recipient of Chet's CGP or Certified Guitar Picker award. John is also one of the nicest most friendly people you are likely to meet ever.
Peace

Why can't people like this stay alive forever? God had taken such a wonderful talent. I feel so robbed. I know he will live for ever in history, but good Lord make an exception!
But don't they live ...( 2 weeks ago by magic2parks)
But don't they live forever? As recordings, in our memories, in our hearts and souls?
(Come to think, will not our souls last forever, and how will they?).
But also look around; see and hear much talent today.
A few favorites of mine -- Stanley Jordan, Phil Keaggy, Pat Metheny.

now i know some people will disagree with me but with other guitarists that are supposedly the best ever like van halen, jimi hendrix and kind of around that genre of music. when i listen to them play i can never really find a tune, just sounds and added affects.but with people like chet and Tommy Emmanuel, they just make beautiful sounds and both make a bunch of good tunes in their songs. so what i think is that it doesn't matter on how fast you play, it should just be on how beautiful you play

What a wonderful man with God given talent. He will remain in our hearts and mind. There will never be like him. He is one of a kind that can play with such feeling and enthusiasm. Mr. Guitar himself. He was a friend of one of my favorite guitarist Eric Johnson, which he played some tune in Chet Atkins' album Read My Licks and also appeared in Chet's show.

I'm 54 and I've been playing since I was 11.
Chet Atkins has always been my favorite guitarist. Andres Segovia is second and George Harrison third.
His 1965 album titled Chet Atkins Picks on The Beatles made me a fan, even at a young age.
Mr. Atkins' approach to music theory is nothing less than genius.
Harmonic perfection and manual dexterity coupled with style and his opportunity in time to be living when recording was booming leaves an unmatched legacy.
Students will study him forever.
