I agree, he was one hell of a guitar player! One of the best in country music I feel.

Saw this awesome concert on tv the other day with Chet and Waylon playing together. It was a really interesting concert because of the history they have with each other. This concert was after Waylon had broke from his Nashville sound and became an outlaw, so the concert was sort of a peace making concert between the two I guess you could say. Or you could look at it in a way that Waylon was kind of rubbing his success in Chet's face. So he and Waylon are jamming it out, Waylon singing many of his pre-outlaw songs and Willie Nelson makes a suprise appearance and Waylon and he go all outlaw songs from there and the crowd goes wild and you can tell it really pisses Chet off terribly. The concert is quite something, i'll have to look for the video.
