Thanks for posting Richard’s concert. I’m looking forward to a fantastic experience when Richard performs in Berkeley in a few weeks. He’s simply an awesome artist.
It is such a pleasure to see this man play guitar, thank you for sharing that incredible skill you have. And House Concerts for putting this up for us to see!!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
It's the curse of piezo quack! Not as intrusive as some I've heard, so I suspect there's already an internal mic. I much prefer soundhole magnetic pickups for acoustic guitars, but of course this one's got nylon strings so that wouldn't work.
Hey for starters you are brilliant and your playing is beautiful, fantastic feel, and for the sound of the guitar it could not be better in the acoustic, for the mixing of the guitar the natural raw sound is sooooooo much better than more effects etc put to it. This sound would also be great for gypsy jazz. So professional played with passion. Cheers. Lugero.🎸👏🎸👏🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
brilliant, more entertaining than Tommy E. however, two things that irritate me at a concert like this is, 1, people whistling along, 2, people clapping along
There’s only two ways of playing: fingered or with a pick. He’s got a pick on the thumb of his right hand. The complexity of the music needs to be played “fingered” to play all the notes with syncopation and sequence required by the this genre of music
