"Tweaking amps is fun, but there’s something very organic and transparent about fingerpicking an acoustic guitar." Check out Will's Reader's Rig, featured in the December 2005 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine.

Daily Record reviews LIVING WILL

2009-04-01T23:10:00.000-04:00

Thanks to Robert Hicks for the feature! Click to read: William Smith prefers the intimacy of solo performing (Daily Record, March 2, 2007).

"It's the intimate conversation that happens as a solo acoustic performer. That's what it's always been about for me. It's putting a little bit of yourself out there and a little bit of objective experience that everybody can understand, share and feel."

LIVING WILL out now!

2009-03-31T22:52:00.000-04:00
