I came home from work and found my guitar watching this.

Back in ol’ ‘72 I had a semi-private shop in the back of what then was the coolest place in town to work. I had a radio back there and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen came on the air with Bill doing the Telecaster lead for “Hot Rod Lincoln”. Bill contributed into making that epic year one of the best summers of my life. Bill Kirchen; Master of the ‘Caster.

Come on back and visit Johnson City, TN. The Down Home

One my fave 3DS tunes!!

Self-effacing, humble and lovely to a fault. I have two of his “Signature” instruments from Paul Beard, a MA 6 and an MA 8, both signed by Mike, and I never missed the opportunity to listen to his brilliant playing, and watch his inspirational musicianship. I’m 81 next week, but I think of him every time I pick up my guitar. RIP, Mike, and thanks to one of my musical heroes!

Terrível isso o violão é muito limitado pra tudo isso

i kinda wish the legendary Richard Smith get into a healthier body weight, cuz he is a living legend along with mr Tommy Emmanuel i want them both live super long

Grand guitariste avec le même humour que son père. Je l'ai vu a St Laurent du var. J'adore.

I'm sure Scott Joplin would be giving a standing ovation upon seeing this performance. Richard Smith's guitar transposition has all the harmonies of the piano music; not a single triad is missing. And that down-tuning of the bass string at the end...wow!

That swing and that wonderful walking bass!

Wow! Stunning!

Damn! A master at work and makes it look so easy. Richard Smith is the best there is on guitar alive today!

Completely Outstanding!!!!

Amazing talent for that old guy and young kid ! Bravo.

Amazing

I didn't know that he had passed!!, dang, I'm his cousin, this bums me out completely

legendary status

Fantastic, Richard. As always.

This is the fourth of Mr. Smith's guitar renditions of Scott Joplin I've found and they just keep getting better. His version of The Entertainer is made even more entertaining by the amazed reactions of no less than the great Tommy Emmanuel. Then I found The Pineapple Rag and was just amazed... ...until I found The Easy Winners. Richard Smith does the impossible on that one and points it out at the beginning. He explains it, but makes it no less amazing to watch and listen to. Then I found this. Wow.

This is as entertaining as the viral "The Entertainer." It deserves far more views. Thumbs up people! 👍

Richard is an absolute master

Beautiful!!!

Mesmerising

Young lady in the front row never takes her eyes off of Annie! She may be the next gen star!

This is nothing, I can play this. Is what a fool would say

Awesome!!

Moondi's Irish high tenor is suited so well for this song!

Absolutely stunning ! Phenomenal...

Fabulous as always.

So Beautiful!! I love this!

Bill's the man!

Really good!

Beautiful as ALWAYS. Love me some R&L

Damn they look so young just babies here.

Lovely!
