First Nashville Guitar Quartet is the title of a 1979 album by Chet Atkins, Liona Boyd, John Knowles and John Pell.

The quartet played in the style of a chamber orchestra for guitars. Arrangements were worked out amongst the four players. Recording was done in both RCA's Studio A and at Atkins' own home studio.[1]
