Enjoyed this thx. So well done. It blows my mind that the Beatles wrote these songs when they were very young. Achieving in their twenties, more than most do in 10 lifetimes. And ones that still remain better than most songs ever written to this very day. We are living in a very blessed window of history artistically. Thx for this magical interpretation of them. Cheers.
je comprends pourquoi le très talentueux Tommy Emmanuel est en admiration quand il écoute jouer son ami Richard Smith et le montre . Il y a dans ce monde des grands guitaristes un grand respect réciproque entre ces artistes de talent. Depuis que je suis capable de mieux apprécier les particularités du jeu de chacun d'entre eux , je ne rends compte qu'essayer d'établir une hiérarchie, n'a aucun sens . Je me contente donc de savourer la chance de pouvoir écouter tant de gens aussi doués ...
Richard Smith is a guitarist not of this earth. I swear he is an alien. What tone, attack, feeling, timing, skill, intelligence. Wow. Wow. Wow. 😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Richard Smith is a genius. Anyone else who plays guitar gets so frustrated by just watching how he lives within a guitar soul as oneness. He is the guitar and the guitar is he. No difference and the damn oneness in harmony you could’ve never dreamed of. Bravo!
i have been playing guitar for 43 years and when I see his playing, I sometimes think.. it's beyond my comprehension. But it's beyond in such a beautiful way, if that makes any sense.
@@sunsparkle8443 Noobody can play like this apart from maybe Tommy Emmanuel and there's another upcoming guy. He's playing three or four different parts at once like Bach counterpoint and voicing. It shouldn't be humanly possible on a guitar.
Only another guitarist can truly appreciate just how good one has to be to play on nylon strings and make it sound that good and look that easy! Kudos to you Mr Smith.
So true, As a would be classical guitar player I recognise my limitations and get annoyed with myself for not having the mental ability and physical dexterity to be able to play well consistently. Richard is truly a giant in the guitar world.
I HATE THIS!!! I'll never be able to play as well as this dude. Fantastic playing!! Ten thumbs down? There are ten tone-deaf people out there who have no appreciation of music or art.
I was fortunate to have him come to my college and give a couple masterclasses. As I was majoring in Guitar Performance then, it was a great opportunity to learn and be taught tips by him. He's also the sweetest and most friendly guy. Thanks Richard!
I had 2 very nice Ovation acoustics, one nylon, one steel. After giving them over 20 years of practice, I gave them both away to my nephews. Let the next generation try and master them. I give up!
Exactly...best "Beatles" medley I've heard...and I've heard many, many , many from the top...including Chet and of course Tommy...but yikes...this one is tender as well a technically superb...JUST WONDERFUL.
I listen to Tommy Emmanuel's music for almost 20 years, and follow each of his new videos. Yes he is the best fingerstyle guitarist ( Richard knows this too), but I feel that this Richard's playing is great.... and for me , maybe deeper, softer, with much feelings. Anyway , it's just great...
I think what is so infuriating is how unknown Richard Smith is in the grand scheme of things, when ultimately; there are so, so so very few guitarists on his level. His skill, technique and artistry are just in a completely different galaxy. It makes you ponder on all the unsung geniuses out there, or the geniuses who mistook their potential.
Freaking awesome great spin on everything definitely going to try to steal some licks from you Mr Smith. Whoever put a thumbs down has to be tone deaf probably couldn't even play an open string let alone tune a guitar
@@michaelshannon6558 I’m going to ask you a couple of serious questions, Michael. Are you seriously not able to discern the humor in his comment? If not, are you on antidepressants and under the care of a psychiatrist? How is it possible that one could make it to your age bracket with absolutely no capacity for humor?
Fabulous man...remind me of me...I still play locally my acoustic sets...nothing like a cat-gut guitar. I was classically trained and flamenco trained.just fabulous...

Who else came here from his cover of "The Entainer"?
Chet !
Exactly.... I did.
And me
Entertainer?
arrrr yes :D

No, I refuse to believe that a human can play the guitar with such speed, and complexity. You sir Richard Smith are quite something!
Richard is truly a treasure!
Quite simply, Richard is on another level 👌

Day tripper, Here there and everywhere, Something, Lady Madonna what a master class Mr Smith
He's Playing Our Songs, the Soundtracks of Our Lives 🎶 🎵 🪲 🪲 🐞 🪲...
Richard Smith is heaven sent ❤

when Richard and Tommy play together there is nothing in the universe like it, two giant musical talents just become one.
Makes everything look so easy and achievable
Amazing every time

Nylon strings don’t sound inferior to steel strings. They resound beautifully.
So true, As a would be classical guitar player I recognise my limitations and get annoyed with myself for not having the mental ability and physical dexterity to be able to play well consistently. Richard is truly a giant in the guitar world.
Absolutely beautiful
I HATE THIS!!! I'll never be able to play as well as this dude. Fantastic playing!! Ten thumbs down? There are ten tone-deaf people out there who have no appreciation of music or art.
Professional jealousy on the part of the "thumbs down" people, I suspect.
No panic, 99.999% of humans will never play at this level
But what amazing skills for us to copy and learn from!!
Tommy and Richard cover The Beatles absolutely spot on. Wish any of them covered Don't let me down. ❤
Few people are just born with talent and many are not. I belong with the latter. 😌
I was fortunate to have him come to my college and give a couple masterclasses. As I was majoring in Guitar Performance then, it was a great opportunity to learn and be taught tips by him. He's also the sweetest and most friendly guy. Thanks Richard!
Wow, you truly are lucky
Brendan Hunt what kind of guitar does he play and how is it strung?
I think he plays a Kirk Sand 'Richard Smith' signature model.Love to get one of those.
And everything is right in the world 🙏🏻👌🏻
Awesome !! ThX !
Such a wonderful touch in his playing!
Fantastic, that was truly uplifting and enjoyable 😊
When brilliant guitarists like Richard Smith and Tommy Emanuel play Beatles songs...this proves how great music Lennon/McCartney they composed !!
so good
shut up fool
Richard; I believe you've passed
the audition !!
I had 2 very nice Ovation acoustics, one nylon, one steel. After giving them over 20 years of practice, I gave them both away to my nephews. Let the next generation try and master them. I give up!
The man has so much music in him
Such a joy to listen to Richard Smith !
Better than any other Beatles medley I've heard. Love the sweep chords on Lady Madonna.
Exactly...best "Beatles" medley I've heard...and I've heard many, many , many from the top...including Chet and of course Tommy...but yikes...this one is tender as well a technically superb...JUST WONDERFUL.
yes it's great. Check out Rick Wakemeans vids on Beatle's melody starting with Help, and then Eleanor Rigby. Outstanding.
If the Beatles could have played like that they would have been famous!!
You obviously haven't heard Tommy Emmanuel's version. Richard learned a lot from Tommy and they're good friends.
I listen to Tommy Emmanuel's music for almost 20 years, and follow each of his new videos. Yes he is the best fingerstyle guitarist ( Richard knows this too), but I feel that this Richard's playing is great.... and for me , maybe deeper, softer, with much feelings. Anyway , it's just great...
Richard Smith on nylon and Tommy Emmanuel on steel. Just can't get enough.
That was simply wonderful! Nova Scotia loves fine music and that was super fine!!!!
Absolutely astonishing.
Very smooth. Flowed effortlessly.
Wow I can't look away, now that I've found Richard Smith.
Phenomenal Talent
Thank you. What a treat!! 😇
Nice sequence of Beatles songs which makes it different to Tommys Beatles melody. Loved it.
You are a great guitarist Richard, thank you for sharing.
Holy (badword)!!!!
I could listen to this maestro play Beatles songs for the rest of my life!!!
Thank you sir for the biggest smile today 😊👍👌☺️
simply grand! Thank you Richard.
Wow... Fantastic... love this
The best, I'm always amazed at what Richard can do with his guitar.
I think what is so infuriating is how unknown Richard Smith is in the grand scheme of things, when ultimately; there are so, so so very few guitarists on his level. His skill, technique and artistry are just in a completely different galaxy.
It makes you ponder on all the unsung geniuses out there, or the geniuses who mistook their potential.
Tommy E is better known. But Tommy makes a lot of noise and is always talking himself up.
For example Tommy can't do a gig without mentioning Chet Atkins 300 million times and saying how Chet called him a CGP etc etc.
Wow! Aoo of that mind blowing technical perfection that never covers up the joy of playing songs he loves and enjoys!
Amazing so beautiful Richard i have tears in my eyes
I can quit dreaming. I am not, nor will I ever be, a guitarist.
what the hell did i just witness here? crazy talented Richard. TY
Thank God for players of this calibre ...fantastic
my new addiction! wow! came here b3cause he is playing near me! I am going!
I have been searching for God all my life, Finally I have found him
God created him. He is the Giver. Richard Smith is the Gift.
Wow that was incredible Richard is truly a master
The best. I truly believe that
There IS not such thing as "BEST"....in anything
The amazing Mr Smith wow!
a true master of the guitar .
Bro is an alien..he came from a planet of guitar gods
Amazing talent. Gifted.
Thanks for an awesome “Day Trip” here on the RUclipss, Jelley’s. Master guitarist melds with master songwriters - badassss!
Nobody better than Richard. Amazing guitarist
Here there and everywhere… I need to learn that right now
Bravo: played so well. Big Like.
Gee, he's great!! And just found out I missed him playing last week right here at the Sebastopol Ca. Senior Center......Darn.....Come again, Dude!
So inspiring! Beautiful player and a super nice guy!
Every day I listen to you! Thanks
Richard really is the best bar none
I'm 7 years late to this party but dang, this guy is Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins rolled into one totally amazing picker!
There Are No Words Worthy Invented Yet
Outstanding player:)
really good !
That was just crazy... amazing....wow
This is Amazing .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
geniuses make the world ok sometimes. thanks.
Amazing talent thank you.
Awesome great guitar playing!
Great skills 🙏🎸👍
Richard you are so bloody good , I enjoy everything you play xmick
Freaking awesome great spin on everything definitely going to try to steal some licks from you Mr Smith. Whoever put a thumbs down has to be tone deaf probably couldn't even play an open string let alone tune a guitar
What’s even more incredible than Richard’s playing is the 30 thumbs down. Ingrates!
Wonderful
phenomenal
This is outstanding
Dang. He must have been using usician for a while to be able to play like that
lmao
Probably took at least 1 week
Usician= learn to play guitar in 8 minutes (according to them)
I hope you’re joking. He practices 8-10 hours per day. He started on the guitar at age 5. Six years later he was on stage with Chet Atkins

Richard is a proper guitar player!!!
4:26 "A little harmony here!"
Because playing both the rhythm and the melody wasn't challenging enough...
In a word: Amazing, my friend!
If you want to be REALLY stunned at this guy's prowess, check Richard Smith Cheek to Cheek CAAS..
Sorry Tommy , here is the GOAT.
Are u crazy?
Bravo!!!!!
Nice touch!
Sensational !
AMAZING
Fabulous!
An elite guitarist!!!
I love the tone!
You can feel the atmosphere...I’m off to buy everything this guys ever done.
Best of the best
Fabulous man...remind me of me...I still play locally my acoustic sets...nothing like a cat-gut guitar. I was classically trained and flamenco trained.just fabulous...
Reminds you of yourself lol. Like you need reminding of yourself. Post a video then we'll see.
Day-um ! can Mr Smith ever play that thing
Wow, wow, wow!!
A few more lessons and this guy could be a contender.😳🙄🤔😁👍👍
Very happy! Cool!
Really Great Stuff!
I know I’m not going to be taking out insurance for my fingers anytime soon, but this guy certainly should!
