Mr. Smith use to go to my granddads house and they would play guitar. I still have the guitar that he played and a letter that Author wrote my granddad thanking him for sharing his knowledge with him. My dad played that guitar until it wouldn't hold strings anymore.. those were the best stories my dad would tell me.. and it's funny but I play keyboards. .
Reminds me of 1958 I was a sailor on a Dutch ship that had struck the ground somewhere near Cuba. We had to go to Mobile Alabama to go into drydock there for repairs. We were there for 14 days, In the evenings we go across a river to the town but we were under 21 and could only go to a milk bar where there was a jukebox with the record choosing thingy on the bar and this Guitar Boogie was played most of the evening.
@@rickeyhubbard9069 Hi Ricky, the year I was there must have 1959 and it was summertime. I remember there was a big square building in the middle of the town about 4 stories high, could have been 5, and it had big electronic sort of score board on top that showed the temperature, which was 91 degrees I think in the 90's for sure. I was used to the centigrade system so wasn't sure what it was in centigrade. But I new it was hot. later found out that it was in the 30-35 range in centigrade. Can't remember the name of the place, it was wat we call a milk bar. It was on the road going from the town to the ship yards and more or less at the edge of the town/city area. It was very close to a real bar (alcohol). It is almost 65 years ago so the finer details are a bit lost. If you really want to know maybe you can find it in the town archives. But I certainly can remember the Guitar Boogie Shuffle.
I love this music I'm 65 now used to listen to this kind of music when I was 11 my uncles were musicians and played this kind of music I used to tap my feet and do the twist brings back some very fond memories puts tears in my eyes
@@maryplaidy6814 This is not Arthur Smith. Arthur Smith was born in 1921 and passed in 2014. The guitarist that we see here is from France and goes under the name of Free Chet. But that doesn't mean that he is not a fantastic guitar player.
C'est de toute beauté. C'est toujours un plaisir de voir ses doigts se déplacé sur le manche de la guitare. J'aime beaucoup l'écouter, je me lasse pas de l'entendre. Bravo d'avoir développé un si grand talent.
Growing up our family was big on music and guitars everyone would always ask my dad to play this song only they called it something different. My step dad was the only other person I knew who could play it so for 21 years iv been asking everyone if they knew anyone who could play it or the real name of the song then the other night out of nowhere I really have no idea where the thought came from but I search guitar boogie songs and found it. Iv never been so excited in my life. It brought my dad back to me in a sense. Thank you
OUHAA cela me rappel trop mon dadday je l'écoutais sur un 45 tours c'est trop magique j'ai l'impression de rajeunir de quanrante ans je me passe encore des morceaux je les aie toujours en tête et cela me fais frissonner et surtout ENVIE DE DANSER VIVE LE BOOGIE GROS BIBI VALOUR
Arthur Smith was born in Clinton, SC, used to watch him on B&W tv set with my grandfather in early 50's, gramp was a big fan of Arthur as he was sort of local talent and Clinton was a very small town back then. Gramp was a textile mill worker and so was Arthur Smith before he was famous, he not only played guitar I remember him playing several instruments. Older pictures of him sort of look like gramp brings back lot's of good memories.
S'est un géant tout simplement magnifique et je l'écoute en boucle tout les jours merci pour ce moment formidable ils ni à pas de mots pour le dire j'adore ❤❤❤🤗😍😍
I'm 55, I heard this at at 17. Well he was the first doing this tune and it rocked us big time then. Thanks mate. Glad to see you finally on RU-vid after all of these years! Like meeting an old buddy of mine
I just heard an old coot say this song was the origins of Rock and Roll so had to hear it. Its wonderful. I'm not musician, but I'm guessing that's an electric guitar, and this piece made its debut in something like 1943. Wish I'd danced to this back in day..can't so much anymore but sure can still bob my head and tap my feet.
When I was a kid I used to watch Arthur Smith on TV WSVA channel 3 Harrisonburg Virginia ,I had forgot about this stuff ,I played along with the video got about 30% of itI was impressed I got that much
What's up! Simply amazing! Singing releases stress, stimulate immune response and increase pain threshold. This Music gives me that. Exceptional performance! Impressive. great tune! Ciao!
This is the best version of guitar boogie. So clear and beautifully played. Only at one place in the initial routine he drags on a note every time which is different from the original.
for those who don,t know who this man is who wrote this song as well as the Dueling Banjo song that originally was called the feuding banjo's , that most first saw play on the movie Deliverance he wrote that song back in 19/55 and got his first Daybeue on the Andy Grifith show in 19/63 and the. kid behind the banjo was Billy Redan who never actually played a banjo in his life someone else by the name of Mike Addis was behind the kid playing it for him and Arthur smith never got the credit for them using that song , until later on when he sued them . but many people do not know the real true story of who this man was he also wrote many songs over the years .
Love this guy's guitar work! Makes me wanna get up and dance instead of sitting on my tractor seat milk can and pickin' at my old B&J (see it on my thumbnail for St. James Infirmary Blues).
You could start out at age 5 and try to listen to all of the great guitarists on RU-vid and die at 99 still not hearing them all. I sure hope you didn't miss this one, and apparently you did not. The absolutely fantastic Arthur Smith.
Fab! According to Mark Lewisohn's mammoth Beatles ' tome "Tune In" Paul McCartney froze trying to play the solo to this live, whilst playing a gig with the Quarrymen, and vowed never to play lead guitar again! Great version here though...
