Mr. Smith use to go to my granddads house and they would play guitar. I still have the guitar that he played and a letter that Author wrote my granddad thanking him for sharing his knowledge with him. My dad played that guitar until it wouldn't hold strings anymore.. those were the best stories my dad would tell me.. and it's funny but I play keyboards. .

After all these years, this is still the best version I have ever heard. Thank you so very much. Much love sir.

One of the best Jams to Guitar Boogie Shuffle I ever heard. This man was an incredible Guitarist!

Reminds me of 1958 I was a sailor on a Dutch ship that had struck the ground somewhere near Cuba. We had to go to Mobile Alabama to go into drydock there for repairs. We were there for 14 days, In the evenings we go across a river to the town but we were under 21 and could only go to a milk bar where there was a jukebox with the record choosing thingy on the bar and this Guitar Boogie was played most of the evening.

@@rickeyhubbard9069 Hi Ricky, the year I was there must have 1959 and it was summertime. I remember there was a big square building in the middle of the town about 4 stories high, could have been 5, and it had big electronic sort of score board on top that showed the temperature, which was 91 degrees I think in the 90's for sure. I was used to the centigrade system so wasn't sure what it was in centigrade. But I new it was hot. later found out that it was in the 30-35 range in centigrade. Can't remember the name of the place, it was wat we call a milk bar. It was on the road going from the town to the ship yards and more or less at the edge of the town/city area. It was very close to a real bar (alcohol). It is almost 65 years ago so the finer details are a bit lost. If you really want to know maybe you can find it in the town archives. But I certainly can remember the Guitar Boogie Shuffle.

Good comment 👏

Mon admiration devant un tel talent. Cela fait 40 ans que je l'écoute. Merci Mr Smith. Glt24

Growing up our family was big on music and guitars everyone would always ask my dad to play this song only they called it something different. My step dad was the only other person I knew who could play it so for 21 years iv been asking everyone if they knew anyone who could play it or the real name of the song then the other night out of nowhere I really have no idea where the thought came from but I search guitar boogie songs and found it. Iv never been so excited in my life. It brought my dad back to me in a sense. Thank you

One Of The Best Guitar Songs Written Heard It A Million Times And Still Love It

I love this music I'm 65 now used to listen to this kind of music when I was 11 my uncles were musicians and played this kind of music I used to tap my feet and do the twist brings back some very fond memories puts tears in my eyes

Superb! The best version I've ever heard of the original. I used to jive to this as a kid and I still do as an old man now.

I have watched this video a zillion times. Arther is the greatest guitar musician of all times!

C'est de toute beauté. C'est toujours un plaisir de voir ses doigts se déplacé sur le manche de la guitare. J'aime beaucoup l'écouter, je me lasse pas de l'entendre. Bravo d'avoir développé un si grand talent.

Arthur Smith was born in Clinton, SC, used to watch him on B&W tv set with my grandfather in early 50's, gramp was a big fan of Arthur as he was sort of local talent and Clinton was a very small town back then. Gramp was a textile mill worker and so was Arthur Smith before he was famous, he not only played guitar I remember him playing several instruments. Older pictures of him sort of look like gramp brings back lot's of good memories.

Love this song! Nicely played!!!

I just heard an old coot say this song was the origins of Rock and Roll so had to hear it. Its wonderful. I'm not musician, but I'm guessing that's an electric guitar, and this piece made its debut in something like 1943. Wish I'd danced to this back in day..can't so much anymore but sure can still bob my head and tap my feet.

for those who don,t know who this man is who wrote this song as well as the Dueling Banjo song that originally was called the feuding banjo's , that most first saw play on the movie Deliverance he wrote that song back in 19/55 and got his first Daybeue on the Andy Grifith show in 19/63 and the. kid behind the banjo was Billy Redan who never actually played a banjo in his life someone else by the name of Mike Addis was behind the kid playing it for him and Arthur smith never got the credit for them using that song , until later on when he sued them . but many people do not know the real true story of who this man was he also wrote many songs over the years .

What's up! Simply amazing! Singing releases stress, stimulate immune response and increase pain threshold. This Music gives me that. Exceptional performance! Impressive. great tune! Ciao!

I'm a Nashville cat guitar player. Met Arthur a few years back. He can play the hell out of a guitar!

Fab! According to Mark Lewisohn's mammoth Beatles ' tome "Tune In" Paul McCartney froze trying to play the solo to this live, whilst playing a gig with the Quarrymen, and vowed never to play lead guitar again! Great version here though...

Love this guy's guitar work! Makes me wanna get up and dance instead of sitting on my tractor seat milk can and pickin' at my old B&J (see it on my thumbnail for St. James Infirmary Blues).
