How To Play "The Entertainer" (Chet Atkins / Richard Smith) - Fingerstyle Guitar Tutorial

www.timvanroy.com patreon.com/timvanroy Clear your calendar and grab your guitar for this fingerstyle classic! Chet laid the foundation with his arrangement, but Richard Smith certainly pushed it to the next level with his version. Overall the arrangement is not THAT hard to play, but it is quite long and there are a few short but massive difficulty spikes. But I do try and provide you with alternative ways of playing these sections!
