One of the greatest guitar records ever is the one Chet did with
Les Paul-"Chester & Lester" (available as a CD 'twofer').
These two old cats shredding jazz standards like it was nuthin'.
Chet also produced Homer and Jethro's albums, and about a
million other things in Nashville. And didn't he have a guitar
shaped swimming pool?
Truly one of the masters of the guitar, and they say, a real nice
guy.
