Is there anyone so completely perfect and immaculate, yet apparently effortless as Richard Smith?

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Among the living: England/Scotland's Martin Taylor; Australia's Tommy Emmanuel. Both recorded with their hero Chet Atkins. And Doyle Dykes -- the lone guitarist asked to play at Chet's memorial service at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Asked late in life if there was someone he would pay money to see, Chet replied, "Oh, someone like Doyle Dykes." But I agree with you, one Mark to another, Mr. Slater. Mr. Smith is right up there with them -- and a joy to watch. Oh and if you haven't seen Walter Rodrigues Jr (his KZbin videos have been viewed by millions) you are in for a treat. In his own way, this Brazilian born American is the best of them all -- with arrangements Chet would have loved. You will too, I promise -- or double your money back. -- Mark B of Winnipeg Canada -- home of Lenny Breau. Chet told me in a 1971 interview that Lenny is "the greatest guitarist in the world."

[@wayneisaacs4899]

Chet Atkins' unique style was very much influenced by Django Reinhardt. Aside from Merle Travis, Chet named Django as his main influence, and said Django Reinhardt was the most influential guitarist who ever lived. In his early years before he was a star, Chet Atkins had trouble keeping jobs at country radio stations. They said his music sounded like gypsy jazz, not American country.

p.s. I helped arrange Doyle Dykes' first visit to Winnipeg Canada, two Octobers ago. He was scheduled to play 90 minutes at our store Quest that carries his signature model acoustic-electric guitars by Godin of Quebec (now the world's largest exporter of quality guitars). He played for three hours. He must have made a mistake, but I didn't hear it. Before his performance for about 50 (guitarists) including my son and grandson, I spoke with him and said, "Your Dad and mine died the same year; bet your father like mine, loved 'The Poor People of Paris'." (circa 1958). At the end of the show, when he inscribed my Godin-made La Patrie classical instrument, I offered him my Gibson (Northern) Southern Jumbo, hand made by Gibson's other greatest luthier Ren Ferguson. "He made my Guild signature model," said Mr. Dykes, and then, with a smile, looking me in the eye, he played the first few bars of THE POOR PEOPLE OF PARIS. Talk about 'straight to the heart' and, incidentally -- Boy did my Gibson Girl sound good in Doyle's hands!

Saw him at a house concert earlier this year, the man is one of the finest fingerstyle players I've ever, ever seen! Just mind-blowing ability!

[@jiritichy6855]

Sorry, but I disagree with your opinion. I think he is very good guitarist but the guy on his right (left, as you look at the screen)-I believe his name is Bina Coquet is a category better....His fingers are faster and his plucking is right on time, where Rich has few near misses and he is late. Rich might be famous, but Bina is unmistakably better.....I just have to add, that in any case, it is a beautiful show and guitar playing, no mistake about it! I love it! Didn't want to make negative impression...

I grew up playing both acoustic and electric, but it wasn't until later, when I discovered the acoustic's diversity, that I really built an appreciation for those who play it well. An electric often covers mistakes and simplifies through amplification. The acoustic requires you to have much stronger fingers, and it's up to you, as to whether you hit the notes or not. No distortion or other effect to turn up to mask your poor chops.

[@justinstevens3050]

Same, I begged my mom for an electric guitar. Played that for around 5 years, and she got me an acoustic for Christmas, I was surprised how hard it was to play the same songs. One day it clicked and I have 3 of them now and haven't looked back.

I own a Ibanez Af95 hollow body and a bunch of acoustic guitars. I rarely play the Ibanez. Ironically I spend about 80% of my time on a Lucero LC100 or a Epiphone steel string. I keep trying to make the switch I can’t make electric sing like acoustic.
