I would give almost anything to sound like Johnny Smith!




I hate to say it, but I’d never heard of Johnny Smith until 20 years ago when I bought a 1975 Gibson Johnny Smith guitar from a co-worker. I then picked up an album and loved what I heard.

I tell my want-a-be-shredders students listen to some bluegrass. These guys rip on acoustic instruments, i.e. no super loud over distorted amps, and this from someone who appreciates but is not a big fan of bluegrass. Now don’t dump on me as I also appreciate but not a big fan of opera, Rap, hip-hop, bass n drums, acid jazz and a few more that I can’t think of right now. But I will listen to and comment about any and all genres of music.




Although I’m a HUGE fan of bluegrass, I listen to almost every conceivable style out there. But the one’s you mentioned that you’re not a big fan of, …… I’d have to add a +1.
