One of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived.

I love how he has the balls and the skill to just tune up before a huge audience and get it right; who would do that nowadays without an electric tuner?!

Well they still do it and end up completely out of tune. But you can't notice it unless you play along or if there is a major difference between the strings.

ehm, tuning up is not a big deal

Amazing, just as he played when I saw him in concert. And he was truly a "Country Gentleman".

❤ Chets version of " Zorba the Greek " A lovely expression of a True Classic. 👍 😅

Calm accuracy with incredible feel. You never feel he could ever make a mistake and you can get lost in the piece of music. I rediscovered his genius after buying the cd he did with Mark Knoffler. Humble and humorous! Back when life seemed more classy

I never knew there were so many depths and energies in this one piece of music. This man is incredible.

Now and then he is my favoriest guitarist ever and forever all time.

Never seen Zorba the Greek played on a guitar. This guy is sensational

I've never seen it played on anything but.

This guy didn't need a Loop effect pedal, he did it all on his own

My heart jumps whenever I hear this song! Guess I have a Greek soul!

What an incredible virtuoso. He died before I was born, but he's a fantastic inspiration.

He is the man always will be . He has so many guitars with his name on them . Also what he did for RCA . He is the real deal. Not any 5 min over night success . Pure talent simple !!! He will always be mr guitar . Players come and go but Chet will always be number 1 !!! He played with them all. Elvis . Ray Charles . Dolly Parton . Doc Watson etc

Beyond his technical virtuosity, the master brought the dancing into my space, starting from a grand entrance from 10 feet away, closing up to just 5 inches from my face with the heat of unhindered spirit. BRAVO.

Incredible Incredible Incredible!!! WOW!! such a talent!!

It's just the way he looks at his guitar with love and care as if saying "let's do this sweety", the guitar is his lover and not his instrument!

WHAT A MASTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PURE CLASS.

I saw this when it was broadcast (I remember his "Greetings from Nashville" remark to that Boston audience). This was from the PBS series, "Evening at Pops," and this would have been during the reign of Arthur Fiedler... Pretty progressive for that organization in 1972.

Chet playing Zorba the Greek, a skill many pickers seek. Only Chet can play like a true champ with his Gretch guitar in his musical camp!!!!!

A True Master Musician.

Totally brilliant the greatest tambourine playing ever

Wunderschön!

No one has appeared to fill the void left by Chet Atkins--as far as exposure in the main stream for instrumental guitar---he had so much expression and had a sense of musicality----;their are some guitarists in the spotlight nowadays that think if you play a thousand notes per measure that is virtuosity --go back and listen to Chet he played the right amount of notes per measure---there is such a thing as too many notes.

Thank you for posting this - truly wonderful.

A beautiful rendition of Zorbas the Greek written by the Mikis Theodorakis and executed masterfully by Chet Atkins

@tomanderson92 The musician seated to the right is bass guitarist Henry Strzelecki, who played bass for Chet throughout most the 60's and early 70's. Henry also played bass for such greats as Elvis, Carl Perkins, Bobby Bare, Wayland Jennings, and many others. He even composed music for, of all people, The Beach Boys.
