The Chetboard

I went scouring through Chet video collection of tapes and dvd's and finally uncovered Chet and Dick Clark together.....thought you guys might wanna see this.

Thanks, Phil. I remember Chet doing this show with Dick Clark but I don't recall seeing it. Chet is so relaxed.

At the beginning of the clip, I noticed Chet had the thumb puppet I gave him. It's a green dragon with floppy arms. I found it at a grocery-store, check-out. I showed Chet how I would play for students and make the puppet peek over the fingerboard. He tried it out and said, "Thanks, John. I think I could use that." And he did.

Thank you very much for posting! What song did he perform before he talked with dick clark??

He makes two references to "Bigfoot" so my money would be on that.

That's the second time I heard him actually say he had hoped for an honorary degree from Vanderbilt.

What chumps they were for not giving him one....

What guitar is Paul playing?

Looks like a custom job that Hutch and the guys at Gibson made for him.

Chet was the absolute master!

I taped that show when it aired. Chet did play "Bigfoot" on the Super 4000 guitar. And John, he wore the the thumb puppet all the way through the tune.
