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.

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....

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

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.
