Thanks for mentioning him, he WAS a great guitarist.

I hear people say so-and-so is a better guitar player than so-and-so all the time. And I mostly hear this from people who are not even guitar players or true music fans.

It's like arguing about who the prettiest woman in the world is.

The truth is, when you master your craft, there isn't anyone better than you! Once you become a master at the guitar, you can then legitimately be compared to the very best in the field.

People are going to choose someone in their Genre of music they listen to, to be their favorite or, best in their opinion, guitar players.

Here is one such master who is also an actress, but her career is that of being one of the very best guitar players in the world.
The Beautiful Charo is 78 years old, still as beautiful as she ever was, and still one of the finest guitar players on the planet.

Yep, my guitar teacher was classical and studied with Segovia, and he loved Chet Atkins.

Chet does great takes on standards incorporating the vocal lines. For me a bit musak like sometimes.

You know who I loved as a kid? Roy Clark. I watched Hee Haw just to see him pick and grin.

Roy is (was?) Very talented as was Glen Campbell.

Chet did best i think later in his career doing projects with artists not in a C&W genre. Knopfler for example. Jyst made everything look and sound effortless.

Should have known you played given your moniker.
