The incredibly talented Richard Smith plays his arrangement of Scott Joplin's classic piano rag, The Entertainer, at the Chet Atkins convention (CAAS) in Nashville, TN, July 2018. For those who want to learn this arrangement, Richard has created a video lesson and full tab. Both are available for purchase at Richard's website store richardsmithmusic.com/store along with other video lessons and tabs.
Enjoy!!

My guitar watches this video when I’m out of the house.
Vote this as best comment
It’s cheating on you
this is the first time in youtube history that a comment made me laugh out loud. my coworkers were startled by my sudden laughter lol.
The guitar probably thinks:”Iwant to be fingered like that”
My guitar got back in her case and flipped the lock from inside...she won't come out until Richard admits he's cheating
This song is so easy on the ears with such a calming melody you’d never realize this is essentially impossible to play for anyone not named Richard Smith.
Well err... Chet Atkins maybe ?
@@MattSeesGray For someone who plays classical guitar this is probly in intermediate-ish piece
@@charlienicholson9307 definitely above intermediate level what are you on
@@charlienicholson9307 lol intermediate 😂
This is a piano piece arranged for guitar, those syncopated bass bits that would be played with your left hand while keeping the melody going. This is an incredibly complicated arrangement.
I guess you haven't hung out with many trained musicians...
Watching Tommy Emmanuel so happy with another guitarist playing makes me appreciate him so much more.
He’s absolutely loving it. What a legend. 👑
All while pumping up an airbed with his left foot too.
That's not an air bed, that's his belly.
@@Ianmarley3004 😂😂
holy shit what a way to pass the time if you did have to fill one up though

Good one!
hahahahah....good one
@@Alpatriod r/woooosh
@@TheNaishproductions-tn3yb very good 😆
Most astonishing thing is not that Richard plays this MONSTEROUSLY complex arrangement to perfection, but that he does it so effortlessly. Most artists at that level have to block everything out to focus their attention on the performance. Richard is completely relaxed present and playfully connected with the energy in the room. He's truly next level.
Everyone concentrate in their unique ways.
Most artists at that level? I don’t know any musicians who have to actively think about their movements when playing a practiced song. It eventually becomes muscle memory, no matter how difficult.
@@fieldrat9046 Really? You don’t know any musicians who "block everything out to focus their attention on the performance"? Bumber, you should check out guitarists like Pat Matheny, David Gilmore, Stevey Ray Von, Carlos Santana, BB King, Django Rienhardt, George Benson, etc, etc. So many great focusers you're missing out on.
@@Datsun510zen bb and django really disappeared into the music when they played especially (imo)
@@jwlsiee Interesting, because holding focus in order to lose one's self would also be the Budhist approach.
His dynamics are out of this world. His playing never felt rushed and that is insanely difficult on this song. Absolutely the best rendition of this piece I've ever heard.
I was thinking the same thing in regard to his dynamics. I started guitar about 45 years ago. I have loved so many guitar performances by so many guitarists,, but have rarely been truly astonished by any of them.. This performance Mr. Smith did in this video truly astonishes me.
It is absolutely beautiful.
Nice pfp
Right, of course his technique is stunning, but the sheer musicality of his playing is what really puts it over the top.
'A mans gotta know his limitations'. I would'nt even attempt it. i started about 45 years ago too and if i had another 45 i still couldn't get to that level, specially that piece. Simply amazing, he makes it sound like it was written for guitar, it belongs there somehow👏
For all you beginners out there, this is a great warm up exercise
Yeah a great song to make them quit guitar early.
😂
it's a great warm up alright but not for beginners, nope....
Lol ha ha ha
.... said Tommy Emmanuel...
this inspired me to stop playing guitar
look how he makes love to that guitar. mr steel (yo) guitar, i say
😂
🤣
Three boomers i respect
bahahahaha
This is the best performance of The Entertainer that I have ever heard.
Listen to Chet Atkins version
@@ylemscalamity chet aktins only played the first part but he played the whole song.
@@chund.s.9730 Atkins walked so that these new guys could run, the importance of that can't be forgotten
I think this is better
so true!
I said the same thing ,
such a good video
You have to play the guitar to truly appreciate how amazing this is. If I could be 1/10th as good as this man I’d be proud
Definitely. The finger coordination, staying in time with such difficult cord changes, and something I think people overlook, just performing in general. I have definitely noticed that I'm a lot worse a player when I'm playing for other people. This guy doesn't even seem to care. Truly phenomenal
@@mr.capythebara9384 100%. I remember playing randy Rhoades Dee to myself over and over, thinking I had it down pretty well. I remember 'boasting' about this to friends one night and when challenged I played it, but it was pityfull to how I (thought) I normally played it.
I’m not a guitarist, but I know how hard this is on piano so I can’t imagine how hard it must be on guitar 😂
@@mr.capythebara9384 Tommy knows at 3:03, just how freakishly difficult this is. These chords would kill me after 10 seconds
And he makes it all look so easy....@@rykehuss3435
I may not be able to play like him but I sorta LOOK like him!!!
congrats bro...
Good 1st step!
What a shame
That's one step in the right direction
Why is this comment section so funny?
Woman fanning herself really adds to the feel of being in 1905
I think she has the vapors.
I am fairly sure she is Richard Smith's wife.
no-it's fucking disturbing-she doesn't fan with the rhythm, silly cow.
Steven Tanner yes that’s Richards wife a great musician as well
I did not read fanning... (((;ꏿ_ꏿ;)))
I can't help but notice this guy's massive forearm moving like piano strings. That strumming arm alone tells you how much time and effort he's put into practicing.
Also stuffing sandwiches into his maw helps build up that arm strength.
What’s amazing is that if you were to listen to this with no video, you could assume that there are two guitarists playing. It’s awesome.
I thought there was a whole orchestra in the background...
The way he maintains the bass rhythm perfectly throughout the entire song while playing that incredibly difficult and syncopated harmony is insane.
@Louie Buoy He does the low notes in one rhythm and the rest of the notes in a different, very complex melody. He's..
very good.
@@brandonputra7077 yepp, actually some parts were easier than it sounds.
What he said
Listening to cool song. Check.
Music theory flying over my head. Check.
Absolutely insane. Incredibly difficult without the addition of the bass. Mind boggling.
Imagine people sitting that close to one another. Man the old days were great

I thought this was a boomer comment for some reason
truee
1:11 in that part, even the great chet atkins had to alter the beat a bit, but this man played it exactly as the original.. speaks volume to his ability
Caught that too. Serious player.
There was some parts I wish he had played legato instead of staccato thoough
From the Chet video your talking about I thought it was a glitch in the recording 🤷♂️
Oh wow! That's no small feat. If you know, you know
You know you're on a whole nother level when Tommy Emmanuel is fanboying your guitar playing.
🥺
I loved seeing how into it he was.
Tommy is such a legitimate lover of music. Love watching him with Joe Robinson
Yes my dude, this is amazing!
That just shows you how humble he is. What a legend/C.G.P. he is.
Lady in the back understandably fanning herself down
it is his wife btw
Pavel Lychagin bwahahaha that makes it funnier!
" Oh my word "
Lmao
She's fanning too high lol
i really gave a standing ovation from my computer to this video. Richard Smith, what a player!
Thanks now I don't feel like as much of a looser for clapping too
I find myself returning to this video weekly. The skill of this man is absolutely exceptional.
Same here, makes me smile everytime!
His guitar smoked a cigarette after this.
Congrats for 500 likes from me :')
And made him breakfast
Why?
@@gonkmaster717 cigarette after sex... got it?
@@andreaborsato2830 Thank you.
I had dinner with Tommy Emmanuel one night before he performed. He is one of the nicest, humblest, human being you will ever meet. I have played guitar on and off since my teens and I am now in my fifties. Tommy asked me if I wanted to play his guitar and I told him I wasn't that good and would be embarrassed, Tommy said: "nonsense mate you play for fun and because you like the guitar right? I said well yes Tommy but I can't play like you and he responded "I couldn't play like me either, it took me years to be able to play they way I play". Then he asked "how often I practice?" and I said an hour or so a day but not everyday. He responded: "I play 8-10 hours a day EVERY day. the only thing I know how to do is play guitar I cant do anything else, thank God people pay to come listen to me otherwise I would be broke"
There it was, that was the answer that alluded me for years. I have friends that went on to play professionally and I could never really grasp why I wasn't as good as them. Its the time commitment, the love, and passion. What Tommy taught me in that moment was that while I love guitar it isn't the same passion he has, I have other interests that distract me from that type of commitment and that is OK. Tommy taught me to just appreciate the guitar for what it does for me in the time I have.
So for those that feel intimidated like I did watching someone of Tommy or Richard's caliber play, remember they are more than likely spending way more time perfecting their craft its a full time passion for them. Play the best you can and enjoy every moment.
There is nothing in the world like being able to pick up an instrument and make music whatever level you are at
Sir, thank you for sharing this. I am grateful
I've been playing for 2 years and have reached a plateau. But then again, I spent 1 - 4 hours tops a day playing. I have passion for other things and I play the guitar because it's fun, that's it.
I feel like people get intimidated by me. it makes me sad, I love making music, and simple is good for jamming.
The really sad thing though is that I think I’m bad and get intimidated too. To let go of the ego is to find the best music.
Very well said sir
Thank you
2:53 onwards playing harmonics whilsts also maintaining the bass line is just amazing
Where did he play harmonics
Richard is phenomenal. He plays all 4 parts of The Entertainer--unbelievable...Jack
He is skilled yes, memory is amazing yes. But most impressive is his stamina, how he keeps playing extremely challenging chords and patterns for so long means his pressure control is perfect, arguably the hardest skill under pressure. Really cool stuff.
Thats tens of years of experience for ya
probably got 30 years of practicing that song... can tell from the harmonics improvision... it's impressive cause it sounded good, like really good
I totally agree with this. Doing cool move in once? Not so hard. But doing it for extensive times? True skill
Can't mention impressive w/out talking about the guy's triceps
No, this was easy for him, and I'm not sure why you thought he was under pressure when he was just hanging with his friends playing some guitar.
Good thing I wasn’t there...my Smoke On the Water would have blown them away.
Oh definitely! Hands down! I don't even know you, but if you can play Smoke on the Water...well...that's just showing off lol
Smoke on the water is for losers, try instead utilizing jojo music
Well if you're able to play the whole song with solos and not just the main riff, then you may be right.
михаил клашканов I cant play guitar but I do know the words from 49 and 71 in English and Russian. I also play alto sax and oboe lol
@@quinnhansen4457 Smoke on the Water is one of the the first riffs a lot of beginners learn. It's a joke, yeah
Perfect execution. What impresses me the most is the fact that the dynamics are so on point. I guess more people can hit the right notes but every little tone here is spot on regarding the volume
I amend my previous comment. This is better than any Piano rendering I heard so far. He keeps the swing so light-heartedly Never exaggerates anything, this IS PERFECT. Hail.
he's alright but I can transition from A to G in under 30 seconds
Prove it.
K then

When Tommy Immanuel is blown away, you have transcended the levels of difficulty know to mortals.
This man is a true musician. There’re those that play what’s off a sheet of music, and others who speak the language of music and express it in their own words.
And those, who do both.
I love how it offers "tab" for this arraignment. I would buy it if it included directions to the crossroads and an appointment with the Devil.
As Del Griffith would say I'd need "a few more fingers".
I know this was a joke but I actually bought the tab and learned it, it's not too complicated but it took an absolute ton of time to figure out haha.
@@mknubs Good for you!!!!
A.J. Green Thank you good sir! I just thought that if I was able to learn it, I might as well tell people that they could too! Have a good rest of your day.
A.J. Green lolllllll
all jokes aside this has gotta be some of the cleanest fingerpicking i’ve ever seen
Nick Crawford eh, I couldn’t do it, that’s for sure. But I don’t think it’s “the cleanest I’ve ever heard.”
I heard multiple muted strings, a couple missed notes all together, and the timing got a little funky there. He rushed the tempo.
Again, I couldn’t do this though. He’s muuuuch better than me. I’m just critiquing.
This wouldn’t have made the studio cut, in my opinion. It’s not “perfect” enough.
Nothing I play would make a studio cut though 😂
@@tomtenak4967 better than atkins version.
Dead poolz are you messing with me? Chet Atkins is one of the best greatest finger pickers to ever live.
I’ve never seen his entertainer video so I just looked it up.
Chet Atkins plays it at LEAST twice as good. Chet FEEELS the music.
This guy in this video made it feel bland and flat compared to Chet Atkins. Chets version is infinitely more dynamic.
Dead poolz maybe you’re comparing the two based on speed and sound quality. You have to remember, Chet’s version was coined back in 1975. That’s 40+ years prior to this. The recording quality in this video is much better. But the actual guitar skill isn’t even comparable.
Chet makes a sweet, passionate rendition, while this guy plays it very straight forward and quick.
They are both very good on their own. But I don’t believe they’re even on the same musical plain.
Come on guys, this rendition is outta this world superb, and for us mere mortals almost impossible to play. Chet or Richard, they're both incredibly talented men. I've played guitar for 40 years, and I would hardly know where to start with this piece. Superb!
at the end of the performance, "Now, Richard is going to play something hard" - just pure love shared across the room. beautiful
Just looked at my guitar after I watched that
I swear it’s laughing at me

It’s when you tell yourself you just play lead

When Tommy Emmanuel is in awe, you know you are a master in your art
I love how he just rests the guitar on his belly.
It isnt rested, he has a strap on his back, if you look closely.
@@bluegoosecommuterline wow...I am impressed.
how can you notice things like THAT?
@@zaki6131 I don't know, maybe you should have looked closer before you commented.
Bro look at some of BB Kings later performances where he’s a bit older and fatter sitting down, he literally rests Lucille on his belly it’s quite funny
@@zaki6131 It's okay if you miss things sometimes. Being a sarcastic asshole definitely makes you come across worse tho
I’m not sure if he’s being accompanied by one of the other guitarists but if not that’s the most amazingly beautiful full sound I’ve heard come from one guitar at once
solo for sure

Tommy Emmanuel is arguably one of the greatest guitar players in the world and has been playing for decades...yet he can still sit there and become downright giddy listening to another master guitarist play. That's the definition of humility.
Agree along with john mayer and chet adkins.
At the end of the day they're all fans of guitar: doesn't matter who's playing it, they'll enjoy good guitar-playing regardless
Tommy is a boss guitarist.
Right, it's just straight up love of the art, dedication and talent. Mutual admiration.
Musicians can't help but enjoy good music it has nothing to do with pride or humility
he does that so easy it looks like he is a spectator and his hands are just going nuts.
Yeah, but Chuck Norris plays this behind his head.
He's watching what his hands are doing to try to learn how to play the song
He keeps looking up like "ohh that's how you do that part ok then"
If youve practiced enough it kinda feels like that tho
No, he constantly looks constipated with concentration
You should see Chet Atkins play it then

I have closely looked at this in .25 speed and only then did i see every thing its truly amazing just
It’s so much easier to do on piano. Nailing that placement is insane for guitar.
I probably need 10 seconds to place my fingers on point
damn, good spotting that.
This brings tears to my eyes... Absolutely Brilliant. My hats off to you sir.
Classic Piece, beautifully executed! Very cool!!! Thanks for sharing this!
It’s ok I guess but I can play an F chord without muting any strings
most i can do is a clean E minor
My first guitar teacher at age 8 was a diminutive 87 year old woman. She would put stars on the pages of the Mel Bay book as we would work through it. That elderly woman with her tiny, frail hands would nail that F chord every time. Over the years I've learned to play the F perfectly and owe it all to her.
damn bro that's impressive... *but can you play a B chord in the same manor*
Non-musicians won't get the humor of this thread.
Yeah right. No one can do that.
2:20 when he hits the 7th fret harmonics and gives Tommy the ‘check this spicy boi out’ look...gets me every time.

I wouldn't be suprised if Al and this man were one in the same.
In my 14 years as a self taught guitarist I've learned a few immutable truths. The easiest pieces to play sound the easiest and are the least impressive. The intermediate pieces often sound the most impressive, and were often written for the guitar and are based around it's strengths. The MOST challenging pieces and styles (like you've seen here) often sound like something that people walk by at a train station and go, "That's nice, they're pretty good," but a guitarist will walk by and think, "Oh my god, they must have been practicing that for 30 years to get it to that level of execution."
Very well said man...100%
Very nicely put brother
. A style seen in Paul simons work where you’re maintaining that bass note through the changes and runs. Kathy’s song for instance, that took me a while 😂
Wait do normal people really think this song is intermediate? Been trying to learn it on piano, but it's end game level stuff (such an insanely complex arrangement), nowhere near intermediate
@@wolf-en8xd I think to a lot of people who are unfamiliar with guitar/playing an instrument in general, tapping out solos like Eddie Van Halen is what's considered "god level" compared to to something like this, but real one's know a guitar god is the guy giving himself arthritis in his left hand day by day playing pieces written for piano
I would recommend nuclear physics, its a bit easier, mate, rgds Scotland.

When you have Tommy Emmanuel bobbing his head to your playing and finally laughing out in awe (3:05), you can safely say you're rather good at the guitar.
Schwulian Maria Tatütata yep😂
Yes! I LOVE how genuinely excited he is, and how happy the player is to share with us. Really inspiring stuff.
I saw a lot of rather corny comments; but I agree with yours. As an old man and life time wanna-be, I find this fabulous.
i knew i recognized that guy
I wish Tommy was out of the frame. He was distracting, almost to the point of trying to get attention focused on himself.
Richard Smith does a stellar job with this playing.
This is so good, it makes me happy that someone has the skill to play this so well...fantastic!
Truly inspiring! Bravo!!!!!
I just realized 4 minutes ago that I've never heard this played on guitar before. After watching, now I see why. Bravo!
I love when one piece of music is fairly elementary on one instrument but transposing it to another renders it God tier.
just goes to show how infantile the guitar is as an instrument
There are simpler arrangements for guitar that sound reasonably good. This arrangement is phenomenal, and so is the skill of the guitarist.

No, lol
Opposite for me. I play electric, but I'm terrible at shredding. However, I can play the first two parts of this arrangement fairly decently, haven't learned the rest yet. Anyway, metal guitarists definitely amaze me the most.
Pretty sure all them metal guitarists can do fingerstyling
