Richard Smith "The Entertainer"

Holy crap! Richard is JAW DROPPING on this one! In-freakin'-credible! He even adds a bunch of (NOT SO EASY) stuff that wasn't in Chet's original arrangement.

And the best part is Tommy boppin' his head, and obviously enjoying the crap out of it!

Kudos, Richard! Gotta love it!

Good grief, my left hand is cramping up just watching that ! Not to mention, that's a lot to memorize. Outstanding! - Regards, Tom W.

Richard is what I call a TGM.

True guitar monster!!

(Not related to CGP, as far as I know.)



I love his playing of Bye bye blackbird with the ultra cool camera doohickey attached to his axe that gives an awesome view of his playing.

for as good as that was, the applause at the end seemed to be only a smattering, but perhaps it was a small audience.
