Chet plays banjo and sings with Dolly.
At the start, he briefly plays "Hello Dolly" on the guitar. The real title of the first duet song is "Long Journey Home", a traditional bluegrass number. The best known versions are by the Stanley Brothers and Rose Maddox. Then, the "cornbread" lines are from "Lonesome Road Blues" (Bill Monroe). And finally, there is Foggy Mountain Top ( Earl Scruggs).
Editor's Notes:More than 35,000 songs have been recorded in RCA Studio B. Over 1,000 of them were hit singles.

Nothing but humility and grace from them both--towards each other and all the world who would see this later. Wonderful, thanks for posting.

Chet: "If I break a nail I have to cancel a show" Dolly: "Well if I break a nail I have to cancel everythin darlin"

@isabella.t_01 3 года назад

Lol but actually if Dolly breaks a nail before the show she glues it back on.

@BryceRogers_ Год назад

Their chemistry was palpable. So comfortable and soulful

@borjangagovski6545 7 лет назад

I love how Chet effortlessly harmonises with Dolly on the spot.

@snakemansnakes1 9 лет назад

Just great! A master instrumentalist showing of some banjo skills while Dolly is.. simply Dolly, doing what she has always done best Charming the birds of the trees. She is a natural. Many thanks for this posting.

@stu2611 10 лет назад

What a gem! This is a classic, absolutely loved it. Wonderful music just pours out of them.

@slavebitch1 11 лет назад

this is how country or bluegrass music should be made - folks sitting around singing and playing for the sheer enjoyment.

@TheNigelr 12 лет назад

Dolly is a pure talent, and a beautiful human being.

@theonewhoeatsfeces 12 лет назад

Chet Atkins was an incredible musician. Not only did he pioneer his own style of guitar playing, but was proficient at clawhammer-style banjo picking too, as seen in this video.

@TheDoobiesnatcher 10 лет назад

Dolly's guitar has to be in an open tuning so you can make full chords with one finger, its amazing how she can play at all with those nails!

@RangerMelB 10 лет назад

you can hear her tho, saying "these NAILS are a hinderence to me"!!

@shannondawn44 8 лет назад

+TheDoobiesnatcher I was wondering that too , while watching her , she has to tuned to an open key . There's more then one way to skin a cat eh ? ( yucky expression , lol )

@BedlamAndBones 6 лет назад

I seem to recall her favoring open D, which is one of my favorite tunings.

@jeffcoat1959 5 лет назад

Might be open G if she's playing along with a banjo.

@robertnewell5057 4 года назад

Yup, that is open G, BUT, I've seen Dolly playing both live and on TV in standard (guitar) and open G, and fretting non-barre chords with those nails as well! I have no idea how.

@snakemansnakes1 12 лет назад

Great little clip! Chet is always the perfect gent while Dolly just does what she does with no falseness or phoney pretence -she is so natural and vivacious- a true star but never a diva.. many thanks for this posting.

@rockinredneck57 10 лет назад

Talent, class and style. both Chet and Dolly.

Ubawiłem się porządnie patrząc jak Dolly gra na gitarze odkąd jej pazury urosły i pozostały za długie.:) Dolly podziwiam Cie za piosenki, przyjaciół i dobry humor !

@desertswo 12 лет назад

Ah, the high, lonesome sound. I'm a native Californian living in Arizona, but I spent a few years in northern Virginia about a stone's throw from the Blue Ridge Mountains and you could hear great music like this just about every Friday or Saturday night if you wanted. It's kind of a kick watching Chet watch Dolly play. He'd been watching her a long, long time, and he was still just like the rest of us knuckleheads out here wondering, "How the hell does she play with those dang fingernails?!!"

I swear any instrument with strings, Chet just picks it up and knows how to play

@MostlyBrenda 4 года назад

*_Fact Check_* Dolly Parton did actually appear on the Grand Ole Opry in 1959 at age 13. It was a duet with her Uncle Bill Owens. Perhaps Chester was not there that night or didn't remember it, but she didn't have to "come back" later to get on the Opry as stated in the video. Dolly also recorded for the first time in 1959, journeying all the way to Lake Charles, LA to cut a couple of songs on the _Gold Band_ label. Grant Turner may have given Chet a copy of "Puppy Love", her first record. Dolly was one very determined girl!

@JLittleBass 8 лет назад

It cracks me up bc there have been SO many times when I've told a guitar student, "Yeah, you're not gonna be able to play this chord today bc your nails are too long. Buy yourself a nail clipper and keep it in your guitar case."

Dolly's always flirted with the "plastic" side of show business, where those who actually depended too much on props or baffled us with too much glitter, smoke and mirrors in that plastic world eventually just lost touch with more than reality it seems at times. She's risen above it though...every time. She most definitely is "the real deal."

@georgewashington6877 6 лет назад

You think too much bud.

@Tonguefunsome 8 лет назад

Open tuning on the guitar so she doesn't have to use her finger tips to fret chords just bar across the the finger board with her middle finger.

@aarhead01 6 лет назад

Tonguefunsome her sister Stella does the same thing. I think she had it tuned to an open G chord

@romin5035 4 года назад

Open G is pretty standard in country music

@NickleJ 4 года назад

Chet's banjo is also tuned open

@pilotdavems 12 лет назад

Fantastic! First time I've actually seen Chet pickin' a banjer. Love it. Thank you for posting.

@edwardmorton6691 5 лет назад

Chet pluckin the banjo, never seen that before. Dolly is an amazing singer and Chets wee bit of harmonising was sheer class.

@wotan10950 4 года назад

Thanks to Ken Burns! I’ve always loved Dolly, and now I’m discovering the world of country. As for the nails, I play piano, so I have to keep my nails very short. And the fingertips can’t be rough. I don’t think I could ever play guitar or banjo.

@MostlyBrenda 4 года назад

I've always found Dolly's "logic" here rather funny. Obviously, she might have become a better player without the nails, yet through all of the wigs, plastic surgeries, fake nails etc., her genuineness as a person ( and as a songwriter) shines through.

@Zacharia503 4 года назад

She doesn't need to play the guitar or banjo properly; she has some of the best Country musicians queueing up to do that for her.

@nathanvanderham5941 10 лет назад

Chet doesn't even have to try..

Just watching the connection Dolly had with Chet makes one realize that when she is your friend, you really have a dandy in her. Wish she was my sister, fine lady.

@MostlyBrenda 3 года назад

*_FINGERNAILS_* Listen to the original version of 9 to 5. After the opening bassline, you hear a scuffing riff on top of the bass. That's actually Dolly "playing" her acrylic nails!

@DelTangBrav I put a link at the bottom of the description to a discussion of the tuning. I don't know much about such things, but thought it might be useful.

@user-er2qx3jl4w 7 лет назад

There are the best!!!

@rogeralsop3479 4 года назад

Excellent.

@DelTangBrav 12 лет назад

@MrCallipygous Thanks... it did confirm what I had worked out that it was an open Dflat tuning (some say C sharp which for practical purposes is the same thing) I notice that discussion started because of your upload. Any guitarists wanting to try should make sure each of their strings is tuned to either C# - E# - or G# (at least one of each) with a full barre the chord is named after the note found on the string/s tuned to C# - I won't be bothering! LOL

Open tuning, but she removes them when composing. Reveled in an interview.

@MostlyBrenda 12 лет назад

Question: What does Dolly say about Ott Devine? Ott Devine was the manager of Grand Ole Opry. It sounds like "I was Ott Devinin'" which makes no sense to me.

@archerc4828 2 года назад

There a guitarist that demands respect.

@cupriferouscatalyst3708 Год назад

Man I wish she had time to explain how she plays with long nails because I'm genuinely so curious!

@MostlyBrenda Год назад

Open tuning. Tuning the top and bottom strings to D instead of E allows you to play the major chords as barre chords. Known as Drop-D tuning.

@worthlessprotoplasm1230 12 лет назад

@DelTangBrav Lol nice response. You're probably right about the open tuning part, though.

@DelTangBrav 12 лет назад

@worthlessprotoplasm I've since checked (with Google) and found, what I suspected was correct. I can't be sure it's difficult to keep eyes on fingers when watching Dolly, but think the strings are tuned to produce a D flat chord when played open. I notice all the chords she plays are just barres and the one where she's not stopping any strings sounds like D flat (Chet wasn't cheating LOL)

@stickshu 11 лет назад

Nice.

@hcurrie7 12 лет назад

I had real nails that were long when I first played. I finally grew up and cut them to be able to play. And I dont miss them but without my nails I have calluses

@jeffreyholmes7216 7 лет назад

yeah! thats open tuning.but her talent goes beyond that...as in a singer..songwriter.and all-round cool woman.

@louie99999 8 лет назад

Dang!

@DelTangBrav 12 лет назад

@worthlessprotoplasm You ask if she's in Drop D - it looks more like Double D to me! Seriously I don't think the tuning she's in is Drop D - it looks as if she's in some form of open tuning to allow her to form chords with long nails. If it helps the key they're actually playing in is D flat.
