I shall listen to "Eastbound and Down" and wait for the now customary complaints about an RIP thread.

Shit!
I love Jerry Reed's guitar style and he always came across as a very humble guy. Check out Buster B Jones's instructional DVD where he breaks down Jerry's unique style. Here's him teaching Jerry's "Jiffy Jam" - some tasty licks to steal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XjhJ...eature=related RIP Jerry

His abums with Chet Atkins "Me and Chet" and "Me and Jerry" are a good example of his playing. Jerry's Breakdown is a great tune too.
