Jerry Reed is tops to us guitar pickers. He was a super picker. Most pickers pick with a straight pick, some use three fingers, but Jerry Reed played with all five fingers. He was totally unique. Watch him do the Alabama Jubilee on you tube.

Jerry Reed and Roy Clark are in the same boat. To most people they think of them as these “aw shucks” type comic guys that were on Hee Haw and those Burt Reynolds movies.

But of course, any guitar player would recognize they were two of the greatest guitarists out there.

Jerry was a big influence on quite a few banjo pickers as well, including me.
