Chet Atkins - Legendary Fingerstyle Guitar Master!
Compiled & Edited By
Steven Herron
Guitar picker Chet Atkins holds a position in music history
reserved for a truly select few! His contributions to country guitar playing are
huge as is his effect on guitar performers worldwide. Generally put, fingerstyle
guitar music would not be the same today if it wasn't for Chet Atkins. Chet is
probably the most well known guitarist in the history of country music!
His
guitar playing has enhanced the recordings of Elvis Presley, The Everly
Brothers, Hank Williams, Jerry Reed and Les Paul to name but a few. Initially
a disciple of country fingerstyle guitarist Merle Travis, Chet's ground breaking
guitar work throughout his recording career of over 50 years has in turn
influenced the guitar techniques of such noteworthy guitar players as Mark
Knopfler, Eric Johnson, and George Harrison!
Though his virtuosity on the instrument is legendary, his
abilities were not limited to the guitar by itself. As a record producer for RCA
Victor records he is often credited for solitarily developing the "Nashville
Sound" as we understand it today - fusing the twang of traditional country music
with a pop sensibility. His number of record producer credits sounds like a
"who's who" in country music including Patsy Klein, Waylan Jennings,
Charlie Pride, Elvis Presley and Jerry Reed. He additionally discovered and
signed such famous entertainers as Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson,
and Steve Wariner while still finding the time to release his own albums!
Chester Burton Atkins was born upon June 20th, 1924 in
Luttrell, TN about 20 miles northeast of Knoxville. His very first musical
mentor was his older brother Jim, a highly accomplished guitarist who at some
point continued to go on to play with Les Paul. Chet's father and mother separated
when he was 10 and he moved to Georgia to reside with his dad, who was a music
teacher and vocal coach for numerous touring evangelists. At his brother's
suggestion, the fiddle ended up being Chet's first instrument but it wasn't long
before he got a Sears Silvertone guitar and started studying ways to play it. He
advanced rapidly and by the time he got out of high school in 1941 at the age of
17, he had decided to make a career for himself in music.
Chet's polished guitar style was a difficult sell at first.
He held a few guitar playing slots at a number of radio stations in Knoxville
and Cincinnati, however he was typically dismissed due to the fact that his
style wasn't hillbilly enough. Throughout that time while working with Homer and
Jethro, Chet met his future wife Leona Johnson and they married in 1946. Later
on that year Chet finally caught a break when he gave his first appearance at
the Grand Old Opry where his captivating style was enthusiastically received!
Numerous radio positions followed in Virginia and Missouri, however in 1947 with
the arrival of his first daughter and poor employment prospects, Chet relocated
back to Knoxville to perform with Homer and Jethro. Eventually a tape of Chet's
radio performances was dispatched to RCA Victor's main office in Chicago and
made its way to the desk of Steve Sholes, the label's head of country music.
After getting a now historic phone call from Sholes, Chet moved his household to
Nashville.
