There will NEVER be another like him. We miss you Chet.

Ladies and Gentlemen......Mister Guitar!!

The best version of this piece ever played on a guitar! No one can duplicate this level of accomplishment.

musket 0402 Absolutely!! If you can even pick a best of, this is Chet's finest playing ever. I'm a total Django fanatic but I am an even bigger Chet Atkins fanatic and this version of Dizzy Fingers put me over the line when I originally heard it 40 some years ago. Paul Yandell was 100% correct when he stated that in his opinion, Chet Atkins was just as great as Django Reinhardt. If Chet were alive he would vehemently disagree with that statement. So would I at one time. Not anymore though. I believe Chet Atkins was just as great as Django. Someone please tell me who was the drummer on this track. Absolutely incredible. No other drummer could have done that better. It's the same other worldly mojo that Homer and Jethro bestowed on Chet at the 1949 Fox Theater RCA recordings.

I agree, but as an all-around guitarist Chet eclipses Django, in my opinion. Django was a great Gypsy-Jazz guitarist who influenced Chet and many others.

yes..just watched it 5 times in a row

The one and only Chet Atkins

Chet is unsurpassed...

This is the main reason i started to DVR Hee Haw, i want to see this on TV!

The greatest!

Chet is playing his old Estruch with a Baldwin Prismatone pickup. Chet used this guitar on the LP's "Solo Flights" and "Me and Chet" (with Jerry Reed)..and on various tunes like Hellacious.

Chet Atkins = Badass

Chet was at the top of his game!!!

The man is unsurpassed as a guitarist and a human being. Just brilliant.

Some guitarists may be able to play faster than Chet, but any guitarist cannot make this greatest sound.

Wow ... I totally exhausted...phewww!

Astonishing!

Awesomely awesome!

Мир изменился. Есть мир до Чета Эткинса. И есть мир после Чета Эткинса. Когда ты его услышал.

I think this is harder to play than Jerry's Breakdown because of the timing...awesome!

It most definitely is harder to play than Jerry's Breakdown. They're both very difficult; I've taken a crack at both of them. Both are to blame for my baldness, but I yanked out more of my hair trying to play Dizzy Fingers!

is that a tnn logo? i remember that. Chet was the best there ever was...

@cettyboy one of the best

COOL!

WOW, you are very good, I have played this tune but the speed is the problem, I give me a reason to more pratice.

I wish I knew what he had forgotten! 🤦🏻‍♂️

He's the Frank Sinatra of guitar. The Chairman of the Board

I remember seeing a different video of Chet playing this live on stage with Paul Yandell . Does anyone know where this recording exists

omg its back up

@Rabban42 If Chuck Norris is a backup-guy in your band, it's then called "The Chuck Norris Band". ha ha!

Does it get any better than this?

maybe its just me but this almost sounds like it could be to a sound track to a mario level

THis guy is pretty good...they should name a guitar after him. (ok..let it rip..lol)

Thanks guitgeo. I'll give that a go. I can play it at about one beat a second, but with a lot of grimacing. How does Chet make it look so cool?

Is there an easy way to play this one, To fast for my old fingers Bill

@dingoswamphead 40 years of practice ! :- }

Dang! The chords and tabs are in an old edition of Guitar Player Magazine. If you can't play it that fast do what I did and record it at 3 3/4 and play it back at 7 1/2
