The Bill Evans of guitar: Ed Bickert!❤

I remember one day my father casually mentioned Ed was his best friend in high school in Vernon BC
He said everyone knew Ed was someone special

Magic. Ed Bickert. Genius.

GREAT TONE on that Tele —with light strings! 😲😲😲

Chet Atkins is my life long hero  but Ed  Bicker and Danny Gatton are why I play Telecasters .

Damn-- if I had known he was playing a Humbucker Tele 50 years ago it would have saved me thousands in archtops 😀 He is surely one of the truly greats-- even with that gear I wouldn't get his sound!

The Master of Telecaster jazz tone! He plays with that piece of wood, I think using 0.10 roundwound strings (Ernie Ball) and achieved a great tone!!

Jazz on a tele and it sounds wonderful

This channel is amazing I enjoyed every second of it.

There's something about a dude that plays jazz on a tele.  There's a confidence there that verges on arrogance.  I love it.

Pristine chorus by Don Thomson. Ed Bickert elegance shines all along his playing...

VERY UNDERRATED

My teacher in the 80s was hip to him … he had it .. didn’t matter what box he was playin’ just happened to be an old tele.

Great player with a serious legacy. Don Thompson on bass is one of my favs - check him out with Jim Hall!

I came here via Tim Lerch. Never heard of this guy before. How cool was he!. What a player. A lovely light touch with just the right number of notes. A great jazz guitarist. 👍🍷

Bassist is a BEAST!

He looks like Peter Graves from mission impossible. I wonder if he he ever played the theme song of that series...

Did not disappoint, sweetness...

Perfect. All three of them are what smooth jazz is all about. I wouldn't change a thing. I play jazz drums and you have sent me to my happy place.
