Mr Thomashood,when I made the comment on Mr j.Smith "The boy next door"as Egregious(Latin=Egregius) I meant:Outstanding,Distinguishe­d,Prominent.Mr Smith for me is Synonymous of "GUITAR GOD".

@LanzettaGino sorry for the misunderstanding I guess this word has two meanings the main one after I googled it said it was a disparaging word....Johnny Smith has beauty in every note he plays

[guitarpicka1]

Impeccable Virtuosity...Every Note Nailed with Precision and Full-Tone Clarity...Great Guitaristics.

I wrote this arrangement down (with several other of his arrangements). This is by far the hardest of his arrangements for me to play. He is a humble master musician and a true gentleman. They don't come any better.

@curumina1... “Johnny Smith set the standard for excellence in guitar playing,” asserts the remarkable Jimmy Bruno, adding that, “Johnny remains the standard we all aspire to, and there’s no one, even among today’s leading innovators, who has approached his levels of virtuosity…and musicality.”
