He was a good ol boy that loved what he did. My family use to sit around pickin music and everyone was cracking jokes and smilin and laughing the whole time. Jerry would have fit right in.
My dad and his family used to watch Hee Haw back when I was a kid and I thought it was just some country bumpkins etc. Little did i know in hindsight or retrospect that I was being exposed to some of the most talented musicians on the planet. Even a lot of heavy metal guitarists claim chet as a guitar influence. I personally think Roy is a genius all around. Wish i had 10% of his talent and I'd still be a premiere talent
I agree with you he haw along with Lawrence Welk we remain stay at our house. I put up with hehaa because of the girls! Now that I am in my 50s I wish I could go back and watch them all again.
I was working in a home couple years ago and noticed the older man was listening to really good music every day.as we started talking,his wife mentioned that they were in roy clarks band on Hee Haw.looked on youtube and there they were.the man was playing a tobacco finish Howard Roberts Custom guitar which he had just sold when i met him.
Chet Atkins was probably one of the very first artist I ever saw that did not learn so much what the instrument could do, but instead made the instrument do what HE wanted it to do. This is why it looks so effortless for him and still sounds so amazing. He pretty much ignored traditional limits on what guitar means and made it into art.
Wonderful. Amazing what TV was like back when I was a teenager. I went through Led Zep, Beatles and Stones, Jimi and all the rest. But I really got into these unlikely characters. Shredders, pickers laced with pure melodic playing. And silly jokes. Great time to be young. Chet's Don Maclean interpretation was spot on. Giants of their time indeed.
These guys had more talent in their pinky finger that the bums they call musicians in todays music. True artists and masters of their instruments. And the audience back then was more sophisticated listeners than today's crowd that has no attention span and can't sit still and listen to art. A sad day we live in.
There are some excellent musicians out there but you won't find them on most of what passes for radio today.Try Billy Strings,Molly Tuttle,A.J.Lee,Sierra Hull to name but a few.
Jerry Reed was what we call a country hippi back then. Look at way he dresses. Don't let him fool you. He was cool. These guys were the cream of the crop guitar players. Roy was a genius in his own right and could play anything. Hell all of them were genius and could play anything.
I always had the feeling that the boys were having as much fun playing as we had listening to them. Just one of the many reasons I loved their performances.
@@zelmoziggy I agree, just remember him sometimes more of the goofy acting parts he did in lieu of the genius musician he was. I think he wrote and composed the Smokey and the Bandit scores as well.
For me, Chet’s reputation as a virtuoso guitarist was always solid. Roy and Jerry were such consummate entertainers, the comedy occasionally overshadowed the brilliant musicianship. I mean, how can a guy this funny be this great a guitar player, too? Well, many years later, there is no more overshadowing! The best pickers to walk the earth.
@@stewartfenton7660 people who are already naturally humorous do seem to get even more comical on coke or speed, dunno how that works but just look at the cast of Saturday Night Live from the 70s-90s
I had occasion to meet Roy Clark one night in Vegas (quite by accident, actually). I excused myself, and explained I just wanted to thank him for the years of entertainment (as a musician, I know sometimes, you just don't want to spend the time, but do anyhow). He actually took a few minutes to talk with me and showed interest in my musical journey. He was very much what you see on the screen and on stage.
The fact that this is a piano piece, and he keeps it on piano form while playing it on a guitar... it's just masterful, and most people probably don't realize the talent that takes. Beautiful job!
When living in Nashville, I got to meet Chet at the HOF groundbreaking ceremony. Nice gentlemen who asked me more about my music when the ceremony was about him and others. Class Act. I have a signed placard I cherish. RIP 🙏💟🌈
Looks like Atkins had specialty fitted Roy Butts filtertrons on that Gibson es335ish he was playing. It doesn't make sense that Gibson put PAFs or similar pickups on everything else then, but I guess they had such a blues and rock following they could care less about clean. Only Roy Clark could get a decent clean tone out of PAFs. By the time these shows were aired in possibly the 70's, Gibson was raking in so much money from their les paul guitars (thanks to Jimmy Page), they could care less about their heritage of beautifully crafted hand carved hollowbodied guitars and clean tones. Perhaps few people had, like Atkins, noted the importance of choice of pickups on tone. IMO, Atkin's best unmuddied cleans (late 50's and early 60's) came out of a hollowbody Gretsch with filtertron pickups thru a (now) vintage Standel 25L15 tube amp. He never picked hard enough to break a fingernail
Don't know enough to comment on pickups, but my ex btlrother- in-law was the best R& B guitar player I ever saw. Never famous. He'd bought a Les Paul Custom which had unsatisfactory pickups. The local big music stores back then would, if you were a known player, let you take an instrument home for a try out. He borrowed one which had pickups he liked, swapped them out and returned the loaner on Monday. Not exactly honest, but they never noticed.
@@whimpypatrol5503 are you talking about the Gretsch with the filtertrons that Chet was playing or the Gibson Byrdland with the humbuckers that Roy was playing? Because Chet never played a Gibson in this video. Just curious….
All this time... few views, only one like? Well, I just doubled it. LOL... came here looking for some Roy Clark memories and discovered this. Kinda makes me feel old, I can remember seeing these amazing pickers in concerts back in the late 60's-70's. Three of the absolute best gone to pick in the Lord's house now. RIP for all three. Thanks for the memories
Chet always had peaceful look on his face when he played. He never had a contorted look like some guitar players when they played something complicated.
Three of the world’s most gifted, skillful musicians we’ve ever been graced with. Not enough adjectives in the English language to describe their talents. RIP boys 🎸🙏
From the heyday of guitar pickers. Great show, great guitarists. Admire Roy Clark, adore Chet Atkins simply Love Jerry Reed. When Jerry sings the sunshines through his voice. He was one of my favourite all time pickers. God bless them all for the music and making the world a better place.
Don't forget Buck Owens! He could rip up a Telecaster as well as anyone! I got to meet Roy in '78. He was wonderful. I was just a dumb 19 yr. old and he was so warm and kind. He advised me to not rely on tuners as he said they had ruined his ability to tune by ear! Blessings L
Thank you for putting this out there Gene. These are some of the true guitar wizards that has inspired all of us guitar players around this rock we call earth.
Every few years I revist this genre and I just don't know why I let those years go by. Absolutely brilliant. I particularly love Roy, but that's a great bias decision to have to make.
I've never been a fan of Roy's particular flavor of comedy but man he's a very very serious talent. I absolutely understand why he's so beloved. Beyond his obvious guitar talent. His ability to fully act, mug, talk, make a sandwhich while he is playing is puts him in a very small crowd of the very best IMO. A lot of us can do some of those things but not like him. There was this Jerry boy who wasn't too bad if I recall.
Roy Clark best guitarist banjo player in the world look and see video playing hard classical Spanish music Jerry Reed favorite all around musician actor and person
@@thjjojodesign Joe I think you speak of Maluguana Roy's Spanish tune. Roy's great but that song is all flash and speed and no intricate picking. I'm nobody and played it at 12 years of age. Not knockin' Roy, I love his contribution to Americana but Jerry had no peers until Tommy Emanuel who co-incidentally was also inspired by the great Chet. Tommy has raised the bar for all us would-be pickers.
TN, We still must thank them for being tone deaf & hitting the dislike button so many times on about every vid you see that YT has removed that stupid little button . Now we all can just enjoy great playing & they can all crawl back under the rocks they came from.
A little off topic, but my stepdad had his own cover band (oh BTW, he wrote some of his own songs too), but we used to watch Hee Haw every Saturday, BTW his was a rock band! RIP Roy Clark, Buck Owens, among others!
Mother Maybelle told Fred Rose, "If Chester can't come to Nashville with us, we aren't coming." Chester "Chet" Atkins came to Nashville and Nashville has never been the same.
I use to watch this show all the time when I was young. What great players these guys are. I dont know haw many are still alive but I was blessed to see them.
These made the guitar ......The Legend ! They gave it the voice of music !
2 года назад+4
I love me some Chester!! One of the greatest guitar pickers of all time! Hee Haw we all grew up watching. Especially in the great Central San Joaquín Valley of California!
Jerry borrowed Neil Diamond's 💎 silk shirt and super bell flare pants ! His playing was some of the best he ever performed. Chet's Vincent was inspired.
Roy Clark is the most talented string player, guitarist of all time in my opinion. Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed are obviously awesome top notch players..these 3 are the best! RIP you guys! You must be having one helluva jam session up there!
don't forget Glen Campbell... Eddie Van Halen once asked Alice Cooper if he could get Glen to give him a lesson... (Alice and Glen were very close friends) when they were golfing together
@@jamesmcclary3291 Well i believe it initially started as a means for primitive hunter/gatherers to act in concordance in order to better kill larger predators, thus allowing excess calories for brain development and it just kinda spiralled from there. To answer your real question: different parts of the English speaking worled have different views on profanity and the blasphemy laws got repealed in my country in 2017.
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and I still feel like these gents are wizards, so smooth and fast with the cleans. Anything they play is a treat.
If anyone thinks Country musicians are just average, listen to these great musicians, plus Glen Campbell, Randy Scruggs and many others. You might have to think again.
Yes by "Jimmy", they would & are Definitely, The Three Greatest Pickers ever too My way of Thinking. I can Recall My Dad, Purposely Shushing 🤫🤫 Other's & Myself, Politely too be Quieter. When the Awesome Chet Atkins was Performing & Playing His Guitar. I was Young I'll Admit it, & I should have paid much Closer Attention than I did about such things. IF I recall Correctly? We saw Mr Atkins on The Grand OLE Opry, most Often. And then of Course Roy Clark & Jerry Reed most Often on Her Haw . Like I said I was Young, so the importance of it all didn't work on Me then. Now Looking Back over that Sixty Year's Span. No One in the Entire Music Industry, can not Help but Admit, that Those There's influence did not Help them too Play Thier Instruments and Master Them. Truly they are The Greatest One's Ever, & May They All RIP With Our Lord at His Side. Thank You for the Memories You reawoke of Them. Wyoming, Robert, 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦👍🤔👀🤔👍😎😎🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well: Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression. Excessive misery. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me.” I could identify with that so well! 😂
Who's the best? Asking that is like asking where the water's the wettest. Any one of these magnificent guitarists could take the stage anywhere in the world and bring the audience to their feet.
Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't miss Hee-Haw. Man, I hated it. Turns out i was a snot-nosed, dumb-ass kid. So wish the adult me could sit with them one more time, and enjoy these fine musicians doin' their thing.
Not only is Chet one of my favorite guitarist, but he's done so many duets with my other favorite guitarist...Jerry Reed, Doc Watson, Roy Clark, Mark Knopfler, Les Paul...I'm sure I'm missing a few. This is so bitter sweet. This used to be reality, this was the world we lived in, now look at it. Aww fiddle sticks.
Wow that last song of this clip that Jerry did ..was cut short😢...but in just half a minuite it got to me....Well these are among the greatest in country picking style...under cover of jokes and what have you...great musicians!!!

Jerry was one of the few people who could make Chet laugh out loud.
Jerry could make the pope laugh
clearly a beautiful man was Jerry.
Who else can't get enough of that Jerry Reed?
Son
Can never get enough
Holy cow, that guy could play!
Yeah he's alright...oh sorry...sonnnn :)
He was a legend, great voice…and fun! ❤
Jerry Reed just makes me smile. A talented songwriter, guitar virtuoso and great character actor. Boy could he shred...
I think he was likely the most talented of all these guys. His silliness may have hurt a bit but he was so entertaining. Likable.
@@annunacky4463 Jerry might have been silly, but Roy was plumb whacky!
And always seemed to have the most fun doing it. Watch this, and tell me he's not ecstatic

The Best country Guitarist ever no one has even come close, well except one Tommy from Australia God bless American music ......
Next time you see Tommy ask him about Chet
Glenn Campbell...
Jim Stafford... Billy Strings...
Yer did OK. I finks, but that Ozzie - well I'll be. I say chaps do speak proper won'tcha! BjG in UK.
Technique is Jerry ≫≫≫Chet
Add Glen Campbell and all the bases are covered! No one in country music today has this level of musicianship!

All three of these men were guitar greats. I am glad I was able to grow up through the years that I did. They were pretty darn good.
Agree with that ... Ya!
All we need is Glen and the you would have four of the best to ever pick in Country,
I've always asked if each of them made the following statement "really, I get to play with..., he's the greatest".
@@SavageCreedmoor6.5they totally new what they were in the middle of. It must have felt electric :)
Yep..hit the nail on the head
Roy duets with Campbell in another episode - Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Those 4 are my personal Mt. Rushmore of country guitar players.
These guys had more talent in their pinky finger that the bums they call musicians in todays music. True artists and masters of their instruments. And the audience back then was more sophisticated listeners than today's crowd that has no attention span and can't sit still and listen to art. A sad day we live in.

Do you play
You know if these guys had pro tools they'd be dropping sick beats at 2:00 a.m. in Ibiza🤣
I too, took for granted Roy's talent as a kid, watching Hee Haw.
Roy and Jerry are two of my favorites, thank you

Oh for the days when Country Music was this good.
Roy Clark is probably the most talented person ever. Badass Boxer, Banjo Player, Fiddle Player, guitar player, and could sing with perfect control
We could go on all day, but it would be a shame to not mention his talent as a comedian and performer
@@NerdFromDenmark Well, I always thought that Roy was funnier than Buck. There's only one Roy Clark! Karl
But Jerry was the pretty boy. Can't deny that either!
Minus 6, he was on Hee Haw,
Don't forget trumpet. Roy also played trumpet.
All so wonderful. Chet on Vincent is haunting.

Chet Atkins playing Starry Night, probably one of the best performances of that ever.
the harmonics he uses for one of the versus are incredible - the whole song is as you say.
Have to have a good ear to depict Van Gogh musically
Vincent is the song by the great Don McLean
@@harmonicajohn1059 I see or hear what you did there 😊
Love how Chet respects the nature of "The Entertainer" and doesn't try to light it on fire even though he could.
He always maintained the integrity of the song.
It’s the definition of class
Richard Smith does the entertainer with real class as well
The fact that this is a piano piece, and he keeps it on piano form while playing it on a guitar... it's just masterful, and most people probably don't realize the talent that takes.
Beautiful job!
When living in Nashville, I got to meet Chet at the HOF groundbreaking ceremony. Nice gentlemen who asked me more about my music when the ceremony was about him and others. Class Act. I have a signed placard I cherish. RIP 🙏💟🌈
These three are among the best ever in any genre but, I’m going to have to add Glen Campbell into this fraternity also!
Chet always gets the best tones. He never pushes the instrument to point where it protests but right to the line.
Chet was the pioneer of so much guitar sound. That guy Ali be ta( sp) learned from him

This show gave comfort for so many for so long.
I wrote an Essay on Roy Clark in English class about 1977. Jimmy Page and Roy Clark were the influence that got me to picking up a guitar
Y’all ain’t even comprehend the mastery. Son!
I had the pleasure of meeting Roy Clark at the old Rayman auditorium. He was a very nice person and easy to talk to.

Great banjo ride by Fred Newell. Used to visit with him when we worked the same rodeos and fairs back in the seventies. One fine musician he is.

Even the great Mark Knoffler of Dire Straits listed Chet Atkins as his one of his biggest infuences
So did George Harrison
Atkins playing "Starry, Starry Night", by Don McLean is always a win!
These Artists just leave me overwhelmed! Such talent and skill!

I use to watch this show all the time when I was young. What great players these guys are. I dont know haw many are still alive but I was blessed to see them.
Jerry, loved his fun style and was an amazing picker for sure!
I was lucky enough to grow up listening to my Dad and the May's. Bros Terry Jerry And Don. Such talent..... Go to sea and wait😆

jerry reed is the handsomest guy in the land💘. god bless american music🇺🇸
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and I still feel like these gents are wizards, so smooth and fast with the cleans. Anything they play is a treat.
If anyone thinks Country musicians are just average, listen to these great musicians, plus Glen Campbell, Randy Scruggs and many others. You might have to think again.
Yes by "Jimmy", they would & are Definitely, The Three Greatest Pickers ever too My way of Thinking.
I can Recall My Dad, Purposely Shushing 🤫🤫 Other's & Myself, Politely too be Quieter. When the Awesome Chet Atkins was Performing & Playing His Guitar.
I was Young I'll Admit it, & I should have paid much Closer Attention than I did about such things. IF I recall Correctly? We saw Mr Atkins on The Grand OLE Opry, most Often. And then of Course Roy Clark & Jerry Reed most Often on Her Haw .
Like I said I was Young, so the importance of it all didn't work on Me then. Now Looking Back over that Sixty Year's Span. No One in the Entire Music Industry, can not Help but Admit, that Those There's influence did not Help them too Play Thier Instruments and Master Them.
Truly they are The Greatest One's Ever, & May They All RIP With Our Lord at His Side. Thank You for the Memories You reawoke of Them.

Well:
Gloom, despair, and agony on me.
Deep dark depression. Excessive misery.
If it weren’t for bad luck,
I’d have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me.”
I could identify with that so well! 😂
All 3 masters of the craft, I can’t think of any better in that era 👍
Who's the best? Asking that is like asking where the water's the wettest.
Any one of these magnificent guitarists could take the stage anywhere in the world and bring the audience to their feet.
Simply fantastic! So great musicians and guitar players…. Cool stuff!!!! I love it ❤️
Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't miss Hee-Haw. Man, I hated it. Turns out i was a snot-nosed, dumb-ass kid. So wish the adult me could sit with them one more time, and enjoy these fine musicians doin' their thing.
They don’t make musicians like this anymore 😢
Not only is Chet one of my favorite guitarist, but he's done so many duets with my other favorite guitarist...Jerry Reed, Doc Watson, Roy Clark, Mark Knopfler, Les Paul...I'm sure I'm missing a few. This is so bitter sweet. This used to be reality, this was the world we lived in, now look at it. Aww fiddle sticks.
Thank God we have Justin Bieber today😂😂😂😂
Wow that last song of this clip that Jerry did ..was cut short😢...but in just half a minuite it got to me....Well these are among the greatest in country picking style...under cover of jokes and what have you...great musicians!!!
Roy Clark was/is a national treasure. That man is quite possibly the most entertaining performer that ever was.
Dear me, I now have 12 guitars for sale ! Brilliant ... What talent
Country guitar royalty.
