The Entertainer (Chet Atkins/Richard Smith) - Cover

[@TimVanRoy]

Summer break is over, let's start with something light 😅

[@PavelFomenkov]

Tommy's reaction to Richard's performance on CAAS is simply hilarious. Probably the most excited you can ever find Tommy on KZbin. He played THIS PART! Look at that! Nobody covers this part, not even Chet Atkins! But to be honest, I was impressed too when I heard it. A brilliant arrangement!

[@TimVanRoy]

And there is one INSANE run in the middle he actually misses the first time because he is just looking away, and when he sees it the second time he nearly falls out of his chair. It's awesome to see the respect between those two!

[@lorddicklebowski8459]

Well done! Bravo!

[@lerouzicmatthieu]

Ah ah love it ! (and love your face at the end 🤣)

[@MuddyBootz]

Best version I’ve heard on KZbin.. including Richard’s 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@alexpushkin50]

Have you seen Николай Григорьев's video "The Entertainer (Scott Joplin cover) Finger Pickin'"? This is a very interesting rendition of this song too. I also like his cover of "Stevie's Blues".

[@sanderanocic]

Yesssss!!!

[@holzhausholz8215]

Tim this is great! Can't wait to get started on the Patreon lesson!

[@joshuahoffman3579]

Wow. Just wow. Great job Tim!

[@muathquttina]

[@oleksii_3008]

[@ronleccese8678]

Mighty fine playing

[@OkinawanPride13]

Magnificent! Can't wait to start learning this

[@Jason94941]

Absolutely incredible, that might just be the cleanest example of this piece I've heard on KZbin. Great work, love it.

[@pratyapandit3633]

So great . 🎉

[@nr3341]

👏🏻😄 Bravo Tim !

[@paulm1765]

That wandering bass line is tough! Not often I’ve seen this level of concentration face from you 😂

[@joostwander8450]

Lekker bezig!!

[@prepre73]

Great playing Tim as always, I would love a tutorial of do I ever cross your mind by Chet and Dolly if it's not already on the list 😊

[@Newpr3toria]

the sound of your guitar is mind blowing.

[@hleyes]

Bravo, Tim! I’ve been working on that piece for a year, and haven’t reached your level yet! 😎

[@matthewwalsh116]

Great job. And actually at quite a high tempo there! ❤

[@Kronse2601]

Wow... that is even cleaner than Richards live version. Hats of to you!

[@TimVanRoy]

Well, I did have the option to do as many takes as I wanted until I liked it enough to post it 😅 Eternal respect to Richard for being able to pull this off in front of a live audience without any do-overs!

[@Kronse2601]

​@@TimVanRoy You are of course correct. The man is on another level. But that doesn't take away that you played it masterfully. :)

[@michaelbritt639]

I would be curious to know how many hours you worked on this before being able to play it at that tempo all the way through? I'm just blown away. This is something i would love to be able to master. Excellent work Tim. Just wow!!!! All of the left hand fret work transitioning from section to section was very smooth.

[@peterlaidler3895]

What a lovely tone from that guitar Tim. Which model is it please?

[@TimVanRoy]

It's a Martin J-40 (an older model without all the inlay work they come with nowadays). I always mention the model and the tuning in the description of each video too!

[@peterlaidler3895]

@@TimVanRoy thank you Tim

[@RadSergey1987]

Привет, Тим! Рад тебя видеть! Молодец, классно сыграл, очень весёлая песня. Не знаю... Поймёшь ли наш русский юмор, но я тебе в начале подскажу. После загара на солнце бывает облезает кожа, то есть слишком долго был на солнце, усердно. Так вот. Ты случайно "не облез", делая эту песню? 😂😂😂 В конце как выдохнул... 😀😀😀

[@alexpushkin50]

Hi, Tim! Have you seen Николай Григорьев's video "The Entertainer (Scott Joplin cover) Finger Pickin'"? This is a very interesting rendition of this song.

[@TimVanRoy]

I haven't! I'll make sure to check it out, although I have enough of this song for a while now 😉

[@alexpushkin50]

I also like his cover of "Stevie's Blues".

[@seriossam2009]

Omg, I thought he said, "we start with something simple." 😅
