Sorry kids, but when it comes to solo acoustic playing in the pocket and having insane technique nobody touches [Jerry Reed.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCE48O6U4Yw&feature=related). That riff in the beginning is absolutely insane. Those _changes_. Jesus.

Wow. I didn’t know the Snowman could play like that.

Watch the rest of them. He might be a goofball, but the man could pick.

I got lost in the YouTube maze, going from video to video, watching Reed play with Atkins, Atkins with Knopfler, then Atkins playing “Mr. Sandman”, and ended up listening to **The Chordettes** (of Lollipop fame) singing ‘Sandman’. Great journey.

Funny how that can happen, isn’t it? YouTube can be such a time sink too.
