My grandfather played guitar with him. From there they became friends. Moved to Nashville at the same time. He was my dads godfather. He got that sound, partially, by incorporating his superior banjo skills into the guitar.

Just like Roy Clark, Jerry combined humour, story-telling and fun with awesome guitar playing. Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed were my guitar idols when I was growing up in the sixties. Sadly missed all of them.

While those guys were very well known in the 70's country music scene, they were definitely forgotten guitar heroes onward. As Fil noted, with Jerry Reed, the other aspects of their talent probably overshadowed their guitar playing. And whomever keeps suggesting these videos, you are the real heroes. Oh, it should be noted when Pat Metheny was young he backed Roy Clark on a gig. Pat gave him major props as a musician and person.

In addition to all of the things he could do, he was ahead of his time in video. He was the first country artist to use video projection and image magnification on his live shows. Jerry did it in 1983 and said that one day, every country act would be using video support. The industry laughed at the time, but his prediction had been borne out. He built Nashville's first independent broadcast quality post production and editing facility. Don't let the good ol' boy part mislead you, Jerry was way ahead of the crowd. He was a true genius and the consummate artist.

Don't misunderstand, but I think Chet's statement was true about many other younger guitarists. BUT ... all of those guitarists pointed to Chet as "showing the way" and never lost that enormous respect and love for the man who guided and encouraged them. Both Tommy Emmanuel and Richard Smith continue to gush about Chester (and Jerry) all these years after their passings. The most telling part about Chet's legacy is that to this day, these same Chet understudies continue to play the songs that Chet wrote and/or arranged, pretty much the same way that Chet performed them. It's hard to improve perfection! As brilliant as Reed was, I think both Emmanuel and Smith are better than Reed today. In due course, these two will also one day be overtaken by future generations of thumb pickers. That's just the way it works.

Loved Jerry Reed. Mad skills on the guitar. When I was a child, growing up in southern Kentucky, an hour outide of Nashville, it seemed like everyone played music. Both my dad and mom played in country bands. A lot of people did. Dad learned guitar by listening to Chet Atkins and other country guitarists. It was just a way of life. People would just gather and just play music together. It wasn't until I was grown, that I realized that wasn't the norm everywhere. My dad was still playing guitar in church just a couple of months before he died at the age of 78.

I saw Jerry Reed in Abilene, Texas in 1977. He did a concert there but I didn't get to go see it .I was at the largest Country Western Club with a group of friends that Saturday night and he came into the club after his concert. He wasn't through playing and singing so he let his band go to the hotel and he used the house band and played and sang for another 1 1/2 hours. It was awesome. He did all his hits and afterward invited a couple of my girlfriends and me out to the bus and gave us an autographed picture and a kiss on the cheek. It was fabulous and free because back then girls got in free before 9PM and we were always broke!! LOL!!

He’s loved his telecaster “

He sure was a killa

Another great picker of guitar Fil! Holy moly Jerry can pick. Very smooth, very fast, very tasteful. Always a pleasure seeing these great guitarists of the golden age here on Wings of Pegasus.

Jerry didn't write the song, but could there be any better country music title than "She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft"?

Hey Phil ,you really are a true musician ,you cover so many genres and really understand music .Glad to see that there are some old school type young guys still out there .Take care and be good.P.S. Loved Gerry in Smokey and the bandit.

Merci beaucoup my friend .

Good video my British friend! Jerry was an icon in the States, he was such a star that not many DID know that besides his film career he was revered as one of the greatest guitarists in all the land. Not to mention his fantastic charisma and charm, he’s a legend! Nice to see the UK giving credit to the man! Thank you 🙏

It's cool listening to the playing and your analysis but the background and history of each player you give is really interesting. Thanks fil! 🎸

Jerry Reid was featured on The Glen Campbell good time hour for years. He and Glen did tons of complex guitar work.

The intro to Glen's version of Southern Nights was in fact created by Jerry Reed.

One of very few that could keep up with Jerry on guitar is the mighty Glen Campbell.

Excellent bio of Jerry. Well done, and thanks for giving some time to one of my favorite pickers of all time

I still love Jerry's playing.

Jaw dropping! Sweet chord melodies and amazing finger style.. so good Fil didn’t stop the video🤘🏻

Hi Fil! You are adorable. I see why you can't help but smile throughout these performances. I didn't listen to Jerry Reed till high school. I don't play guitar, but I come from a musical family and just am able to appreciate excellence. I'm so grateful for that. Your breakdowns make me love them even more! Thank you!

The way you explain everything without being annoying one bit also is amazing. Grateful !!

“Fred! You get over here!!” East bound and down will always be my favorite song of his.

Great analysis as always, Fil. Thank you.

Jerry also wrote and sang one of my favorite songs ever, "Today is mine". Great song with meaningful lyrics.

I really like the interest you take in some of our country boys here. You can not go wrong going with Jerry Reed. Respect to you , amigo.

Your 100% right on, Jerry Reed was MIND BLOWING!! Great reaction, Thanks!!

It's funny I was actually introduced to Jerry Reed from an episode of The New Scooby Doo movies when I was a kid. He played Pretty Mary Sunlight on the show and it has stuck with me for at least the last 20 plus years. It's amazing to see the talent he had.

Snow man! RIP he was a master entertainer and musician. I absolutely loved him and still do. I must be some kind of a nut with a pack of used cigarette butts hahaha if you got that reference high five SON!!! The Claw!!!!

I can remember back in September 2008, going to see my friend's band and they had an American singer over- he said that Jerry Reed had died- awful news, but he really was suffering with emphysema, so badly- as Tommy Emmanuel said: "He's out of pain, now." He was a one off, incredible talent in so many ways.

Excellent video my friend! I was raised listening to ole Jerry Reed, many days sitting on the porch like right now, listening to Jerry,,matter of fact that's how I ended up with you right now. Glad to have found you again! Thumbs up video ~John

Growing up in Tennessee in the late 60s , early 70s and 80s , listening to Jerry Reed was mandatory 😂. Thanks Fil , love it . 🤘🏻

Good to hear a very well crafted review and astute account of just how hard it is to master some of these techniques and then do it live. I appreciate your reviews more than 99.9% of people doing this same thing.

Jerry is a monumental genius of a guitar player. I miss him so much but, grateful every day for all the music and friends he inspired.

My boy has just said "dad,I bet you can't play that." So yeah,he's grounded. Love jerry's playing always a pleasure going back to his albums.

How many artists have we lost in this vein? The world is a flatter place without them, and we'll never be as high as we once were with them.

He had another song that was popular in the 80's that was funny "She got the gold mine and I got the shaft".

Smashing player fil absolutely top notch thanks for another master class in how to do a proper analysis of all types of music

Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins and even Charo. There were many great players. Memories of my youth.

I honestly don't know which is better, watching the musicians you are reviewing or watching the looks on your face? So often you seem to be totally amazed by what you're seeing
