Frank and Sylvie House Concert - Richard Smith

[@luigiparaboschi4652]

His control of the fingerboard is absolutely amazing. He can play whatever he wants AND without any music in front of him. A guitar and music genius

[@MyBagpuss]

Been following Richard for years. Like all good wine he matures to perfection! Nice to see him looking so healthy.

[@grahamjones4888]

So have I, incredible player. His The Entertainer is something else.

[@LeslieCarter-x5q]

I believe that Richard is the best all round guitar player without equal

Maestro Richard Smith, the awesome virtuoso of the guitar. You owe it to yourself to make it to at least one of his concerts.

[@JackFlaps]

Richard Smith should be the most famous guitarist on earth

You look great Richard, well done mate. Terrific concert, wish I had been there.

[@alcam100]

What a treat, an unbelievable player but what a choice of tunes as well - keeps the standards standards. An inspiration since I used to attend his trio concerts in the uk during the 90s.

[@Chocco44]

Awesome, Richard! Look forward to seeing you again this summer in Talladega !

[@duelenigma7732]

Yes individually and together. I’ve seen Tommy many times and had a pint with him once at Kirkmichael guitar festival in Scotland. He’s a straight up guy. Great fun.

what a talent is Richard 👏🏻 and such a nice songs. 🙂

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

Excellent. Playing along here, and I remembered an arrangement of "Here, There, and Everywhere" that I came up with a long time ago, when Richard played the tune; also in A Major, so I was able to play it with Richard. Like a long distance duo!

[@JoelBiger]

Richard Smith - Much better than "the other one" with his eternal goofy smile and his Maton...

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

Even if you believe that was there any need to say it.

[@jaimemacayana5066]

Richard, you’re the best in the whole universe

[@rainerhofstaetter]

Fantastic...i love it!

[@MudChips]

Fantastic! That closing tune had me marching in my easy-chair thank you !!

[@Dale-jb2tb]

Absolutely brilliant. I would love to hear you play live, do you have plans to tour the UK this year?

[@barryjdwyer]

What a talent.

[@Guitar11player]

Richard Smith is undoubtly the best on the guitar in the world at this time today April 25th 2024. Plays the hardest parts techinal like they are second nature to him and childs play. Been playing guitar for 60 years and I know what Im talking about, and this is the real gut core guitar player who can do absolutely everything and show so called experts how to play the damn thing the right way! Plays Reed style better than Reed could play it!

[@isteinfach]

Das ist *weltklasse* und gut für das Gemüt!

[@notpopebuthope]

... quite a King on Nylon-String ... guitaaaahhhhhh! ... Cheers from Austria! ... HAPPY EASTER!🐣🌷🐰

[@billgreen6263]

Yup, Jerry Reed liked nylon string guitars too.

[@dcallan1]

He would make Chet proud.

Frank/Sylvia, Kristopher Swenson here; I’m not sure? And, it was quite a few years ago! But was it you townhouse that I did painting and miscellaneous stuff like that,”hang a headboard on the wall for you? And at that time you’re having musicians over for small groups of people to be entertained. Correct!??! To have Richard Smith,?, what a privilege and honor!!! If the above part of my question/ statement is not you folk, my apologies!! Sincerely, Kristopher D. Swenson 🎸🎵guitarist in the Scott Day Band

[@norlo6723]

Hello folks! What kind of amp hi's using? Very nice sound and nice playing!
