Jerry Reed can't play his own songs

Whenever I get frustrated playing the guitar, whenever I get someone telling me that "this is the right way to do it," I always, quite arrogantly I have to say, remind myself that SRV couldn't read music, and Willie Nelson always did it his own way, the right way be damned.

Then there's Jerry Reed. Listen to what Chet Atkins admirably says about Reed. He can't even play his own songs. And watch Reed just try to hang on to Atkins playing one of his own songs.
