Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins performed a great duet on the tune, “Jerry’s Breakdown.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had a request recently for a little bit of Jerry Reed. Since much of the blues and country music can go hand in hand when it comes to the guitar, I figured I wouldn’t be too far off base releasing a post with Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins and my good friend Arnie Newman. One of the classic duets from Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins was a little ditty called “Jerry’s Breakdown.” It’s a pretty advanced finger picking tune on it’s own, but these two play flawlessly together. And fortunately, my good friend and fellow guitarist Arnie Newman spent the time getting both Jerry’s part and Chet’s solo under his fingers to share with all of us here in Internet land. For today’s post, I thought you would dig seeing the classic guitar duo’s performance of the tune, then see the tune played close-up by Arnie. Both performances were pretty stellar so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!<\/p>\n

Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins appeared often together on the old TV show “Pop Goes The Country” in the 1970s. Check out one of the original performances from the duet playing Jerry Reed’s classic “Jerry’s Breakdown” at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ni8KBhnebwE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
