Mr. Chip’s
It was in 1982…
Well, if you haven’t heard Richard and Julie, you can see and hear them at Strathpeffer Pavilion on 19 March 2010!
not yet!
Richard got a damn good feel to the sound of a classic/western guitarplaying with a great clarity without sounding muted!
Many years later when I saw the Richard Smith Trio they played “Whispering”. Richard mentioned that Chet was very ill but OK..
yeah i went to see them
I’ve heard Richard play with his wife Julie on cello- anybody ever heard that?
Richard done this live in front of hundreds of people and CHET ATKINS at her Majesty’s Theatre.
This was in London.
Richard is one of my favourite players!
I love it love it love it. Do you have anymore of young Richard? Was this taken in USA?
That was amazing!
just did and now i am barefoot!!!
That was just awsome – I feel just as enthusiastic about it as I did the first time I watched ….. It wil always be one of my favourites. Compliments to Chet also for his original recordings/arrangemnts AND for playing quietly beside Richard…..I will never stop listening to both of them.
hey guys. =)
richard smith was great then..
if you want to see an 11 year old play guitar like that today, then type in “jwcfree” on youtube.
you can decide who’s better.
i think they’re both good…
but please dont bash anybody ^^
Check out the recording on youtube with Richard Smith and Tommy Emmanuel. It will blow your socks off.
Little Rock Getaway was recorded in the late 50′s on Chet’s album “Chet Atkins in 3 Dimensions.”
The second song was Little Rock Getaway. Richard was perfect in copying the job Chet did on the original version.
Does anyone know the name of the second song they play on this video?
I can’t believe how good he is at eleven years old… That is just bloody weird and amazing.
ha chet let him take the lead thats such an honor.
i still wish i could play like that
