I watched this with my guitar on my lap and when it was done , she ran away from home, never to be seen again!!!

Spectacular performance... WOW!!!!! Just brilliant guys. Congratulations.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It don't get much better than this!!!

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

Merle Travis, Chet and Jerry live on through your awesome mastery of the guitar forms that they pioneered. Great on you two!

Always neat to see the guy who arranged it, play it.

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.

Impossibly great Guy and Richard...Jack Baker NYC

Awesome. I'm speechless.

Beautiful!

Well now, wasn’t that pretty darn amazing. Well done gentlemen.👍👍🇨🇦

I was there to amazing guitar players

INCREDIBLE! JPS is smiling

Excellent!!!

SPECTACULAR!

terrific

As Chuck Akers would say, THAT IS effin' A, elfin, B AND ... EFFIN' C!

Como cuanto cuesta esa guitarra? Y si todavía se puede encontrar?

Yeah, but does it djent?! Guy and Richard: Hold our beers... 😜😉

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.

Chet (Mr. Guitar) played it best with is perfect sense of rhythm and not too much tempo. RIP Chet Atkins.

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.

Is it a modification of Guy's solo arrangement for 2 guitars?

@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.

I would like to meet the two boneheads who disliked this. Obviously you have never touched a guitar, let alone tried to play one. Well done Guy and Richard.

This two-player piano piece sounds awful on guitars.

A brilliant arrangement and performance that, unfortunately, Chet Atkins usually gets credit for.

They are good players but the guitars don't sound too good.
