| Richard Smyth is a veteran of the Toronto music
scene with a busy performance, recording and teaching schedule ...
so busy in fact, that it has been difficult for him to carve out the time
to record & release this CD of his original instrumental music.
All of us at the Twelfth Fret have been big fans of Richard's tasteful
phrasing, impeccable sense of groove, not to mention his stunning
guitar tones ... well, for over a decade now! It's great to
now be able to throw on this CD and get a generous helping of this gifted
musician's work. Having been a student of Richard's popular ModeNomics
method, it is also interesting to hear how he applies the techniques
that he has been teaching!
Richard's writing & arranging covers a wide
range of styles, with great production values and strong performances
by top studio players. I've included some short 30 second sound bites
to give you a taste of his Robben-Ford-meets-Larry-Carlton musical
sensibility! |
