  • Guy and Richard playing the Stars and Stripes written for the guitar by Guy Van Duser. Played by two of the most amazing Fingerstyle Guitar Players on the planet at the 2015 CASS Event in Nashville. Both guitars are built by Kirk Sand of Laguna Beach Calif. Guys guitar was strung up for the 1st time on July 4, 2015. How fitting is that....!!!

    It's really great to see Richard with Guy. Of course I am sorry we lost Richard from the UK to the USA - why I remember him when he was just a kid! However, he's in just the right company with the likes of Guy. Well done both. Wonderful to see. Even better to hear thee!Berry in UK

    Somewhere, Mr. Guitar - Chet Atkins - is smiling.... It was was Guy Van Duser who developed this arrangement for Chet and made it famous in the finger-style guitar world. Like two peas in a pod... Richard Smith and Guy Van Duser together are it!!! Wow!

      Loved the comment, "Nobody clapped along." My first introduction to this arrangement was by Chet Atkins, who rightfully credited Guy with doing the arrangement. That performance was marred by idiots in the audience deciding that their out of time
      e clapping would improve the experience. Chet cut the piece short because of that.

    0:19 "I've only done it once" That's amazing, it shows Richard must have some photographic memory for learning guitar music, I wonder if it's memorizing music or [primarily] memorizing pattern progressions on the guitar neck.

    • @Zacharia503
      @Zacharia503 5 років тому +3

      Chet said that it was Van Duser who arranged it and taught him how to play it....the fact that these two guys are almost jamming it (well, Richard Smith is, anyway) probably upped the tempo. It was only the second time that Smith had played it (which explains why he left some of the fiddly bits to GVD), but I bet you a pound to a pich of shit that by now he's note perfect.

      I do prefer Chets tempo and feel, he was always so relaxed. But that said, I think in 2022 Richard Smith is the best in this Style of music.

      It's possible that the sound quality of the recording device, whatever it was, didn't do the guitars justice.

      @khmak9387 it's Guy's arrangement which Rich plays fairly often. Not many can play it that well, so it's just two masters having fun on a tricky piece.
