What a kick-ass guitarist. I salute you.

[@Betterthantelly]

Wow amazing. Trying to learn slide having been reasonably proficient for a while and your the man. An artist and a teacher 2 great things to be.

[@armilles]

what amazing voice you have ! ! !

[@murlyn2]

You’re awesome Such a great feel!

[@paulschulz5094]

You are a legend

[@Capnmax]

You are a classy fellow Mr Smith. And a badass picker.

[@keithcampbell9017]

I've been following Matt Smith for a while. He is quite the instructor. Does anybody know what model slide he is using in these resonator videos? Thank you.

[@keiferreefer1]

That was sure an awesome composition, good message, don't turn your back on your best friend, I like that, like the tune as well, great slide work, you have become my slide mentor , the " L" shape, yeah, and thinking in terms diatonically forming chord voicings in open tunings, yeah, I've got to get " standard" tuning out of my mind right now, quite enjoyed your ' turn around" lesson, clever blues turnarounds are awesome and vital. I've got to shuttle back in time and relearn these things the right way, but I'm self taught, took the instrument as far as I could, never knowing early on about special tunings...etc, eventually find things out though , great that KZbin exists

[@Thermionicvalve1]

You're THE man Matt.

[@tuihazel2198]

Hellow Mr smith,you rock!!.im just stumbleing on the secend part of this song your finger tec is awesome its all gospel to me an i am all eras

[@simonsbuddy1806]

WOW...you sing as well as you play!!

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Are those the 16 gauge strings? I bought a set, but I am worried that they will crush the cone because they are so stout. Any opinion on that? And thanks for posting, you sound really good.

[@slidefever]

Never mind the twinkies crack, this guy can actually play slide properly.

[@warpighammer621]

Smith u made me a slideshow

[@daddarioandco]

Feel is a very subjective term between guitarists - we have a few Resonator sets you can check out - Jerry Douglas, Rob Ickes use them, as did the one and only Mike Auldridge.

[@satyamsinghal930]

this white man has got the blues!

[@MorganWhinery]

That's rude, Twinkies haven't been available for months now...

[@robertszymanski717]

This guy should try auditioning for Americas Got Talent or American Idol !!! Seriously.....

[@Fuzzhugger]

Fantastic playing and singing, but @4:34 is some serious mis-info. Ringing after you mute strings isn't why it's called a resonator, isn't "the way to tell a good one," and isn't "what you look for." That ringing is simply from sympathetic vibration from strings behind the tailpiece (and/or behind the nut)...any guitar will do this, especially if using a tailpiece. It might be louder on a resonator, but there are plenty of players who dampen the strings near the tailpiece so they wont ring like that...and it's still a working resonator guitar. It's a resonator because of the resonating cone design, which resonates and amplifies the guitar, somewhat like a speaker (either pointing inward--biscuit bridge--or outward--spider bridge).

[@Fuzzhugger]

Why should I shut the hell up? Just pointing out something that's factually wrong.

[@textucker1158]

FuzzHugger Effects p

[@mmhcreates]

you should not. Correct information is welcomed and why most are here.

[@235buz]

actually fuzzhugger is correct.

[@keepmyselffree]

You have a gift for teaching! Thank you! I am moved on many levels by you.

[@dareisnogod5711]

I thought this was going to be much more informative; too bad for me, it wasn't.

[@defzeppelin7036]

Show off 😂 but really your fucking awesome

[@olivierbakker6290]

This is not the Doctor......

[@m00py1]

I had no idea Danny Devito had so much soul

[@paulmyfinger]

Now that sounds awesome......for a white boy :-)

[@rlta04]

lay off the twinkies dude

[@gerroldmanianglung7900]

I'm an instant fan. Plain simple beautiful lessons. More! :-)

[@SuperOlds88]

Beautiful job of mirroring your voice with the slide.

[@keiferreefer1]

Yeah, my friend has an all metal Resonator guitar from China , yeah, it's a mechanical speaker, I never played one and was quite surprised when I picked some notes and wow, out came this sound, not like my acoustic, cool stuff

[@lauraparslow1244]

Thank you! I have played guitar all my life.I just bought a resonator, at 69 years old, I don't think I will ever be good but it is so fun trying. :-)

[@INDYOSKARS]

That was real nice Mr. Smith !

[@walterpalmer2749]

Some Delta Blues.

[@allenquartermane6134]

Damn I love this!

[@jaybirdk74]

That song in the beginning of the video ("Simple Truce") seemed to quote "Danny Boy", and reminded me of "Amazing Grace" another spot. Don't know if that was intentional or not, but it was brilliant! And the reso guitar made it into its own thing; again, Mr. Smith...brilliant! Watching you makes me wanna go out to my nearest music store and look for the Tri-Cone in the corner! Okay, so I'm gushing, but it gets my creative gears turning, it really does. Keep up the excellent lessons!

[@louiswarde-jones2435]

The start reminded me of the introduction to Linden avenue stomp by Glen Jones and Jack Rose which is played on lap steel guitar by Jack Rose.

[@textucker1158]

Matt is the man.

[@turncoatslethbridge]

Awesome.

[@brucelevine6517]

A master ❤️

[@alexanderlvt]

Chappeau for you playing sir. I only came across you this week and it made me realise how much I missed. Already I learned a lot. Thanks
