A brilliant young lady named Muriel Anderson was there and was a frequent visitor that summer as she was part of Christopher Parkening's masters class. Atkins was visiting in Bozeman and he stopped by the plant. So effortless and with that little smile and wink. Oh, and here is my favourite version of Mr. Your comments about his being the "nicest guy" seem to be universally felt by all who were lucky enough to meet him. And that is just his right hand! Holy Schmeck! Just watching him play one musical selection he seamlessly blends Travis picking, clawhammer, banjo rolls, flatpicking (with thumbpick), alternate picking, strumming, Paul McCartney style thumb and index finger brush and even sweep picking. Atkins showed that good music transcends all. I'm fascinated by Chet Atkins even though I hated country music with a passion for years. No Hijack at all Hogeye! This is precisely the kind of information I'm looking for. Atkins was a brilliant Classical guitarist and when he and Parking were playing it was quite obvious he was every bit as good a Parkening.

Atkins was a very good friend to Christopher Parkening and after playing a concert here in Bozeman he and Parkening and Paul Yandell sat in a hotel suite here in Bozeman and played for about an hour. He was the best endorsee Gibson had and a joy to work with.

Mr.Atkins was the nicest guy and very generous with his time. I won't bore you with the details but will say this. The bodies were made of solid Mahogany that were indeed chambered to lighten them and let the tops be more resonant. The "Chet" guitar production was moved to Montana in 2003 in a turf battle between Nashville and Bozeman. Make the tiniest springs do the tiniest thingsīut things that are made by plans well laidīy the melodies played and the beauty madeīy the touch of Chet Atkin's hands Edited Januby drathbun The watchmaker's eye and the light to see by The thread of the tailor and the ropes of the sailor The hands of the baker and the candlestick maker It was a very touching moment between two great artists. I'm going to take that home and frame it and I'll treasure it all the rest of my life." After Chet was finished his set, Cash met Atkins onstage and Chet said "Johnny, I want to thank you for that great poem. When Chet was a guest on Johnny Cash's television show, Johnny introduced Chet with a poem he said he had written that very day and recited it while Chet played in the background. He was also a hugely successful record producer with RCA Nashville and created what was known as the "Nashville Sound". Does anyone have one of these?Īnd of course, a double whammy of Gibsons and GREATS! Chet Atkins and Les Paul:Ĭhet earned 14 Grammy awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and nine Country Music Association awards for Instrumentalist of the Year. I have a Godin Multiac that has a mahogany body and cedar top but it is heavily chambered and actually feels and sound pretty lively unplugged. I wondered if it was chambered because it looks heavy. This Gibson Chet Atkins Nylon is a fascinating instrument too. He was one of the greatest guitarist ever. He had style and grace, was a magnificent human being and a consummate professional.

He makes what looks impossible seem easy. I could listen to this man all day all night long.
