Chet's work with the Gretsch was as good as it gets in anyone's book but I always thought that Chet sounded best of all with that Gibson gutstring electric.

Great song. Great musicians. The only problem I had was Don had chosen to play acoustic as well as sing. Having two acoustics did make it difficult to determine at moments who was doing what. IMHO, it would have been an outstanding performance if Don just sang while Chet just played. It's a shame we won't have that opportunity again. Thanks for the video.. P.S. for those who enjoy Chet Atkins style, check out this player. He was mentored by Atkins and has picked up a lot of his techniques. This is a a tribute to Chet named, Wabash Cannonball, Doyle really has carried the torch Chet lit long ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mwFA56dKP8

Don played a steel string flattop, Chet was playing a nylon string classical electric.
If you listen for the overtones, differentiation is rather easy here. That, and Don was strumming open chords while Chet was dancing on the moving Major scale in 6ths.
Perhaps if you thought of it as Don playing rhythm guitar while Chet played Lead...

This is a perfect example of how you can take a beautiful song and make it even more beautiful. Before hearing this, I really didn't think that would be possible. They have proven me wrong.

Don, that's funny, I have been listening to that very piece a lot over the last week (Vincent, by Chet and Don Maclean). There are solo versions by Chet and Don on Youtube, and of course the duet. I hadn't listened to that in about 30 years, then started listening a week ago, and then you mentioned it.
Mac, I was wondering about Chet's guitar on the solo version, doesn't quite sound like a classical (nylon string)- is it- I thought it was a steel string?
Have Fun!

peter,
i had the same thought on the steel strings but yielded to mac's superior ears. the 'brilliance' of chet's guitar sure sounds like steel to my tired old ears. it definitely looks like a classical machine head on the guitar but the sound has me confused.

Chet's guitar is a nylon string solid body. About as thick as a 335, and as loud acoustically. With a nice spruce top for looks and tone and a piezo pickup. First such design, by Gibson. One of their many "Chet Atkins" models. Once Gibson brought it out, lots of makers cloned it.
The sustain on this baby is amazingly long. I had to relearn a whole new touch - to let go of held notes or else it sounds like a piano with a cinder block on the pedal.
