The music seemed at odds with the surroundings. Not what you would expect in this sweaty deep underground blues club that had been a bomb shelter in WW2. Listening to Chet Atkins play it later, I realized he had done a very good job. Not the easiest of pieces, but as I remember, he did a decent job. Where a young guitarist was warming up for the set playing this. Back in the makeshift dressing room of the 100 Club in Oxford Street in London. So, let’s take a look at some of Chet Atkins’ most influential songs. He had a great love for the Beatles and their music and usually included at least one of their songs in his stage shows. George Harrison was another influenced by his style of playing. His guitar had a huge impact on players across a range of genres. He paved the way for many offering them new technical ideas. And in doing so, helped a new generation of guitarists. But, he was much more than just a “Country-music guitarist.” He inspired new generations of people with his stylistic playing. He was labeled by many as a Country guitar player, which in some people’s eyes was a little unfair. Safe to say, he was a respected musician. He worked with a stack of people too numerous to mention. And he took inspiration from his playing from the genius that was Django Reinhardt. Like Mark, Chet Atkins had a rather unique fingerpicking style. He had collaborations with various people, Mark Knopfler being one. Playing country and Folk and even dabbling with a bit of Jazz and classical. He released countless albums and crossed musical boundaries. Especially those that I was not familiar with, or particularly liked the genre they were placed in. It taught me a lesson to not discount the abilities of some musicians.
There was no doubt he could play, albeit in a style I was unfamiliar with. “Go listen to him you will be impressed.” I did, and I was. And I must have had a strange expression on my face because I had said nothing. We were just about to do what was essentially a very blues-based gig. “Freight Train, the Chet Atkins version,” came the reply. I enquired politely what it was that he was picking away at. It was before the first gig that the guitarist was warming up in the corner on his Gibson 175. Then I did a few gigs sitting in with a band in London, and my opinion changed.
