Chet Atkins
Chet Atkins is the best known, most influential and versatile
fingerstyle guitarist of all times! Volumes have been written about him and
his accolades are numerous. The following summary is by no means complete.
Born in Tennessee in 1924, Chet Atkins grew up on a farm surrounded by musical
relatives. He picked up mandolin, fiddle, and guitar very early in life. At
the age of 18, Chet landed a job as staff guitarist at Knoxville powerhouse
KNOX radio. In 1946, after marrying Leona Johnson, Chet worked briefly in
Nashville with Red Foley at the Grand Ole Opry.
After several other short-lived jobs in various cities, Atkins returned
in 1948 to Knoxville to work with Homer and Jethro. This was followed by
associations with The
Carter Family
and Fred Rose. Chet quickly became one
of Nashville's most respected session musicians.
By 1953, Chet Atkins was doing a
lot of session work for RCA. In 1954 Chet's first LP, "Gallopin' Guitar",
was released and that same year he was given his own radio show on WSM. The
following year, Gretsch invited Atkins to design his own signature guitar.
In 1957, RCA opened its own stand-alone recording studio in Nashville and
put Chet Atkins in charge of finding talent as well as producing and playing on
records. He stayed in this position through the '60s while also recording
many of his own albums. After helping create many hits for others, Atkins
finally had his own Top-Five single in 1965 with "Yakety Axe."
In the 1970's, Chet relaxed his duties with RCA and focused on developing
musical relationships. Through the rest of his life Chet collaborated with a
number of well-known players including
Chet left RCA and signed
with Columbia in 1982. In 1997, diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, Chet
underwent surgery. Thereafter, he would only play with friends on occasion
or make brief, non-playing public appearances at local events. Chet Atkins
passed away on June 30, 2001. He will be sorely missed by all.
