Conor Smith Glasgow's best kept secret

Postby bob adams » Thu Feb 11, 2021 9:57 pm

I think It's about time we gave Conor Smith some air time! I know Danny Mitchell has touched on him last year but Conor's recent development on PSG is outstanding as has been his guitar playing for a very long time!

Conor is the most unassuming young Glasgow guitarist you will ever meet, him and I have shared many a moment over Steel guitars, their mechanics and a number of licks here and there.

I trust he won't object to me bringing him out the cupboard here, definitely one of our younger talents who is going places in the steel community!

Good on you, Bob :guitar:
Conor's such a tasty player, on whatever instrument he picks up. I've enjoyed his playing ever since he rocked up to Carlton Studios amongst a load of college students that were in to record a track each, for some element of their course. I think he played, or helped out, on everyone's track, and some of them were right wee divas. He knocked his track out in one take, Sweet Dreams, a la Roy Buchanan.
I can't imagine where he might take the steel, musically, but wherever it is, it will be tasty :guitar:

Right Bob, that's it, his fingers are getting it. In the same vein as oor Danny, getting too damned good too damned soon.
Beautiful playing Conor, nice touch and tone, and a damned fine vibrato there son
Keep up the good work young man
