      @@enantiodromia This is how this should really be played (by far the best rendition on YT) - ua-cam.com/video/xYSWNmsCDf8/v-deo.html.
      It's another level, but ofc it requires an excellent classical guitarist ;).

      @@perakojot6524 Thanks for the link. I think you are right, if partially. I find the dynamics and the subtle accents on timing of this classical guitarist more pronounced and played more finely than those played by Mr. Smith, but the "classical" version appears to be lacking somewhat in passion and humor. Anyway, a great rendition, and well worth listening to another couple of times.

    My 3 years of guitar doesn't qualify me to make judgements. But I still watch Richard's hands in this video over and over with the sound turned off.
    I had no idea that this level of precision and skill was even possible.
    He frets with zero delay, giving him complete control over the tempo. There are a lot of notes in this tune. As far as I can tell, he plays each one perfectly.
    My first impulse was to never try to play The Entertainer again. But instead I just bought the music and lessons from Mr. Smith's website.
    Just wanted to say thank you for opening a new dimension in guitar technique. Museum quality stuff.
