Roy Clark was highly regarded and renowned as a guitarist, banjo player, and fiddler. He was exceptionally skilled in the traditions of many genres, including classical guitar, country music, Latin music, bluegrass, and pop. He wasn't simply a guitar virtuoso. He was a true master of that instrument. RIP
Someone who can play so well, sing and be on hee haw for so long! Multi-talented like no other…
the fact that he did that on a 12 string, playing that cleanly, is mind blowing! Roy Clark was absolutely one of , if not the best, guitarist of his day and of all time for that matter. Outstanding!
Roy Clark and Glen Campbell were two of a kind. Wildly talented and overlooked. May Roy and Glen Rest In Peace, and their talent not forgotten.
@Thomas Roe For his time, he was one of the very few living virtuosos. Anything with strings, he was it's master.
@Thomas Roe Absolutely. He was a virtuoso that, to say he made it look easy, is a severe understatement lol. Man was and is a legend.
Give a listen to the two of them playing with John Hartford. He was another national treasure.
What about Chet Atkins? 😮🙄🤔
you have to remember that Roy Clark was a country artist. This shows how amazing and versatile he was. Happy to see young folks are discovering him!
Someone once asked Jimi Hendrix what it was like to be the best guitar player on Earth. He said, “I don't know, ask Roy Clark.”
Young folks who know the guitar have always known- and been amazed by- Roy.
Roy Clark was an artist....in any genre he desired.
@@dannyhughes4177 truth
@@doctorivan that is apocryphal, Jimi said Rory Gallagher
Roy Clark is on a level with the great composers of the renaissance era. His talent transcends culture. His mastery weaves him into the base culture of all music.
great way of putting it!
I think he was considered a virtuoso.
Greatest hyperbole ever
Django would approve.
Roy was one of those guys whose humor shielded his brilliance. RIP Roy.
Truly one of the greatest string instituplayer
He was a treasure.
TRUE!
We’ll put!
Must've listened to him for hours as a kid - all on Hee Haw. We take things for granted until we grow up.
Another great Spanish guitarist is Charo. She's often remembered for her "cuchie cuchie shtick, but that woman can flat out tear up a guitar.
And Christopher Parkening
Her classic Spanish guitar is absolutely amazing.
Saw her in Vegas by accident! Saw all her appearances on Johnny Carson years before, but stumbled into a special event at a nightclub....she played 2.5 hrs straight with little conversation in between, she was dripping wet but continued to blast out flamenco and classical just as Andrea Segovia taught her to do..
This is how its really supposed to be played.
Paco de Lucia - Malagueña on British TV. m.ruclips.net/video/gq-ARYBe3rw/видео.html
Yes
The version that he played on an acoustic guitar on The Odd Couple, a top sitcom of the early 1970's is even more amazing. He's so fantastic that the two actors are stunned.
Two highly trained and experienced professional actors. They both just fell out of character. They were blown away.
Clark was a true master and a musical genius.
@@davemiller6055 ...and they didn't know he was going to play it. He played different songs during rehearsals, so it was the first time they heard it when the scene was filmed. Absolutely honest reactions when he was done!
@@thomasmatzat6455 Wow. Didn't know that. But it seems in line with Roy's personality.
My friend met Roy when playing with the Navy Band. Celebrities can be difficult but Roy he told me was a blast to be around.
This is how Roy really was according to the people who knew him. Just happy
Roy Clark is the GOAT - absurdly gifted on ANYTHING with strings. HE's the inspiration for many of the greatest guitarists in the business. Dude was touched....
I think I saw him remark that the only thing with strings he wasn't good at was the piano, but only because he couldn't tuck it under his chin...lol
@@sammydwm 😆
That he’s playing flamenco on a 12-string, steel string acoustic, and still keeping it that clean. Man was Roy Clark ever a tremendous musician!
Left handed, unless the video got mirrored. Or this one is... ruclips.net/video/lxDQQDF6j0Y/видео.html
This is how its really supposed to be played.
Paco de Lucia - Malagueña on British TV. m.ruclips.net/video/gq-ARYBe3rw/видео.html
@@dsvet RIP Paco. Loved the Guitar Trio album he did with DiMeola and McLaughlin.
Roy is great, but he is not playing flamenco. He is strumming a song that is traditionally played in a flamenco style on a flamenco guitar.
But I do agree with you, Roy Clark was a tremendously talented musician!
And flat picking, not finger picking.
Bra, he’s a bluegrass guy who plays multiple instruments like like a master. he IS a legend. Watch some Hee Haw reruns. LOL
Yea, he gives Roy some respect but makes it sound like yea, he can sit and play with the other amazing Spanish guitar players. Well, let's see some of those Spanish guitar players pick up a banjo and roll with Roy and his buds, and then a fiddle, and then a ...
I wish I could recall which guitarist in the 60s US Rock and Roll scene that said it (I think it was Hendricks) when asked, "How does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world?c and his reply was, "I don't know. Go ask Roy Clark." 😲
Was he a-picking or was he a-grinning?
This version of Malaguena was played at his funeral. His family had a respectable remembrance while also trying to make it joyful. I'm so glad the public was invited to this.
The most under rated musician ever. Probably because of his C&W side.
I would agree with that!!! He was truly gifted..
There are 2 or 3 videos of Roy playing this, in one he breaks 2 strings on that 12 string before finishing. Such a talent, the man could play anything with strings.
He played this on Johnny Carson one time. It's a great video.
And Hee Haw, which featured some great musicians along with the silly schticks.
Underrated? He is regarded as one of the greatest of all time.
LOL. Saying, "I don't hear a single flaw in what he's done (so far)" when talking about Roy Clark, is like saying, "Mozart is pretty good I guess..""
For those of us who grew up suffering through episode after episode of Hee Haw, it was easy to miss how great of a musician Roy was. He would occasionally throw down on the show but it wasn't until long after watching things like this where the realization of his brilliance happened.
Hell, he played this on the very first episode of Hee Haw. Electric, but still incredible by any definition of the word.
My grandfather used to call Hee-Haw 'educational TV'.
it was too easy to take it for granted
What are you talking about. After Hee Haw it was Sha Na Na then professional wrestling!
This man was so talented , As a kid I watched hee haw and thought he was a funny guy who played guitar. But as I got older and heard more of his playing I realized what a great great musician he was.
Yes , exactly
Like you, I finally realized that he was not a comedian who could play. He was an amazing musician who could be funny. He was also just a humble C&W musician.
This man contributed more to modern guitar than he has ever been given credit for.
Daayum!
Roy was a Master of guitar, and any other stringed instrument. Malagueña is hard enough on a 6 string, but he does it on a 12 string. His picking hand moves faster than the camera can capture.
exactly right- to play the 12 like that is silly good
Mad skills, his hand is a blur!
as this was my first time hearing, i felt it was excellent - fucking wait, that's a 12 STRING?! no words.
💯💯💯
I was looking for someone to mention 12 string. Ups the difficulty quite a bit.
My father spoke of him in the late 50's when he was a d.c. police officer in n.e. near r.f.k.stadium. Roy Clark had a radio show and would spend time with officers at the coffee shop and could tell stories on end. He was very genuine back then.
After my father got out of the navy him n his buddies used to ride there Harleys to dc to watch Roy Clark play in the small bars. He met him many times in the late 50s. My father was also a Va police officer before I was born. His name was Ronald c Gramling, he was also a korea war vet. The last of the real men in this country.
One of the most talented musicians to ever grace this earth! RIP Roy Clark.
Roy was one of the greatest musicians ever. He could play most anything with strings and play them on a very high level. Guitars, banjo, fiddle... several of the greatest guitar players ever have said Roy was the greatest. He didn't release many albums and spent 20 + years on "Hee Haw" a weekly comedy and country music TV show.
However, he was not left handed as represented here
I agree. There are alot of people, who want to credit Glenn Campbell with the title. However, Glenn learned alot from Roy.
@@patl4416 Alot of RUclipsrs will invert the image to avoid copyright issues. That is why text on t-shirts are backwards.
Even crazier still, a lot of flamenco guitarists use nylon string classical 6 string guitars. They are easier to pick and strum and Roy is using a 12-string steel and his accuracy is freaking amazing. It is so hard to move the wrist as fast as he is doing during the strum parts on a 12 string steel let alone on a 6 string nylon and keep the sound clean. Roy's main genre was country, but he could play anything and do it amazingly well. To say today's players do it better is ignorant. Every generation had amazing players and Roy Clark was one of them.
He was also an excellent singer. Top notch all around.
I grew up watching Roy Clark and Buck Owens on the campy comedy show "Hee Haw". My dad loved the corny humor. It wasn't until much later that I realized what phenomenal musicians both those men (and many others on the show) actually were. Glad you are exploring their work.
heck ya! Then it was Marlin Perkins and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Where Marlin ( who was a badass) would stay in the helicopter while Jim jumped on the back of wilderbeast running in a heard , or maybe wrastle an aligator.
The followed by The Wonderful Wold of Disney ! For our final show.
Then my parents would pack us up. Say good bye to grandma and grandpa every sunday.
Ah....good times my friend. good times.
ps....I think larwance welk was on before Hee Haw too.
anyhoo. Eastern Washington State, circa 1975?
@@bugvswindshield ahhhhh, the memories!!
@@bugvswindshield LoL, I spent a week or so in the old hospital in Wenatchee in '61 or '62 with pneumonia. Shocked the hell out my mother when I described it to her, down to the color of the walls and the straps of clear vinyl filled with straw tying me to the bed. She said they did that because I would keep pulling my IVs and crawling out the window to play out side ; 0)
And pebblltt she was gone...
Me, Too !!!
Not only was Roy Clark extremely talented, he was hilarious! R.I.P. Roy, I will always admire you.
Been a Roy Clark fan for 50 years, and still he gives me chills. Well done MrLboyd
Hands down, one of the greatest musicians who ever lived.
Very underrated musician
Lol...greatest musicians who ever lived?
Perhaps 1 of the greatest bluegrass guitarists...
I was told he could play many different instruments proficiently.
@@bw3506 drums, piano, trombone, and others proficiently, I also don’t think he ever learned to read music.
Player like Roy Clark, Glenn Campbell, and Jerry Reed are often overlooked. The technical aspect of guitar is truly shown through their playing because it's stripped down and no way to hide it
Add chet atkins and your starting to fill up a top 10 guitarists of all time
Jim Stafford wasn't a slouch on guitar either - there were some fantastic guitar players back then!
I never knew Glenn Campbell couldn't read music until seeing a YT video about the wrecking crew. He could even play a song backwards by ear.
You forgot about Chet Atkins “ Mr Guitar man “ himself who had coached and taught many rock musicians how to play!
Another guitarist that is overlooked is Charo: ruclips.net/video/XmNPXqG6ovg/видео.html
One of the greatest strumming performances. As a guitar player I showed that video to my hands and asked "why can't you guys do that?" No reply. Saw him in Las Vegas once. At one point, on one song he played just about every instrument in the band. As I recall he was quite the fiddle player too. Thanks for bringing back some great memories,
I met Roy in the early 70’s in Tampa, Florida. He was just as nice as he could be. I was 16 and approached him at a hotel we were both staying at. He took time with me and seemed genuinely pleased that I wanted to meet him. RIP Roy.
With Roy Clark, it's not a "shtick" - he's a southern country boy who REALLY knows how to play a guitar.
The shtick is his patter, and it is definitely shtick. He was an incredible guitarist and an incredibly funny comedian.
@@MelissaThompson432 I think the problem is the definition of shtick. Is this how Mr Clark always is or is it more like a persona he adopts in the public?
@@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx oh, it's definitely his act. I've been a Roy Clark fan since before Hee Haw.
@@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx My "guess" would be that it's an amplified version of who he really is.
@@LuckyFlesh That was my thought exactly 🍻
It is great to hear a true aficionado giving Roy some dues. He was one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Roy played this same song as a guest star with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman on The Odd Couple. Truly astounding! His primary fame of being a co-host of Hee Haw with Buck Owens, never really showcased how truly magnificent and versatile his talent was. R.I.P. Roy.
I remember him on the Beverly Hillbillies!
I got to see Roy Clark play this from the second row of a theater. It was an unexpected performance after a musical ended that he starred in called "Paint Your Wagon". His band performed and then he ended with this. I shot right out of my seat when he finished and started a standing ovation. Blew me away.
He was an amazing musician. Sadly, he passed about 3 years ago. He is one of the best examples of under appreciated guitar players from the country music gnre.
Yes, exactly
Who knew back then.
It was Page ,and Hendrix, and Blackmoore, etc..
I mean, who knew.
Lots of people knew. Him playing that song in Particular is a testament to the beauty of the composition, but also of the skill of the musician.
@@J_A_3_Art4Life I agree. I think lots of people knew, but I also think there was a wall over which certain sounds did not make it. I was born in the mid-1960s, and I would say that in the late 70s and early 80s, rock fans did not listen to much country. So, we did not often get exposed to great country musicians. I knew of Roy Clark, but from doing mostly comedy on Hee Haw. That show was jn reruns after 1971. Doubt I paid much attention to his guitar playing, on HeeHaw or after. I have also seen some videos on Glen Campbell also being a great guitar player, and I think there may be a video of Roy and Glen together trading licks.
Nobody beats Roy Clark, he throws everything in his craft, we need more like him.
I could hear castanets and tapping feet in my head.
This is how its really supposed to be played.

How many times you gonna leave that same comment ?
you should watch Roy's performance of this piece on "The Odd Couple" back in the 70's you can see the moment the show went from the characters playing their parts to them becoming HUGE fans in awe.
This song is usually played with the thumb and most or all of the fingers. Roy Clark is playing this with a flat pick. This is amazing.
Roy Clark was asked one time if he was underrated as a guitarist, He said “Sometimes, but then I look at my bank account and I’m happy”. This is probably not a word for word quote but it is close.
Roy Clark was a musical genius on multiple instruments. You could have dropped him into any modern rock or metal band and he could have shredded at will.
Or into any classical orchestra
@@bobferguson2476 I heard him play guitar, banjo, and fiddle (violin) with the Boston Pops Orchestra and it was absolutely great - how anyone can make a banjo fit into an orchestra I'll never know, but he did.
One of the greatest musicians ever.
TRUTH.
Amen! He was so underrated!
You should also check out Roy playing "Laura's Theme" also known as "Somewhere My Love" and "Moscow Nights" on electric 12-string guitar. Both are very impressive.
Mr. Boyd, that was exactly who he was. His personality always shined. He was a musician for many years, and worked with many 'stars' before anyone even realized the man could actually sing very well, as well :)
That sounds like he's ripping on a 12 string, which is nuts. The string tension is just deadly on them.
Roy don't mess around.
Yeah he kills it on that 12 string. The video it came from is awesome and the camera can’t even keep up with how fast his hand moves.
That was him. He was a showman, humorist, musician and much more including perhaps THE most underrated guitarist ever!
Roy Clark, one of the greats! Not a performer, but an artist. I heard him play Beethoven in Carnegie Hall many years ago; He was incredible!
You need to hear him play this on Acoustic on “The Odd Couple” in front of a live audience
Much better recording than this for sure.
You can see the actors go from characters to audience members as he played
@@craigbrewer433 Seeing them going from Felix and Oscar to Tony Randall and ack Klugman was just amazing. You could tell they were just as blown away as everyone else. Definitely it is worth watching if only for their reaction.
Mountain Dew!!!
@@michaelmabrey6969 LOL!
His "Yesterday When I Was Young" was a crossover hit for him. Great lyrics, feeling and melody.
Please check out the Avenged Sevenfold version of this song. I'd love to hear what you have to say about it.
You know it was written by Herman Ketzmer and Charles Aznavour?
It has been recorded by a ton of artists, all of which I believe has yielded arguably the best version by Johnny Mathis. Just about everybody had a hit with it. That song is a masterpiece.
One of my favorites-and as I get older, identify with it.
older i get the more i understand, this man was ONE OF A KIND.
Paused at 5:11! Knowing what you’re going to hear when he starts the flourish of tapping on that guitar, after watching you and listening to you reaction thus far, has me all a’tingle! This is great!
You can’t go wrong with anything to do with Mr. Roy. He was a wonderful entertainer. A funny comedian. A master guitarist. R.I.P. 🙏
EDIT: After watching to the end…
I’m am now going to search for this song to see the dancing!💃
Very captivating that you are so versed in this song, before hearing Mr. Roy’s rendition. It was a video ending with a twist! 👍
Having grown up in the 70s, I was subjected to Hee Haw (thanks, Dad.) which was mind numbing but I was always appreciative of the extreme talent of Roy Clark. He was not 'country' really, he was good at everything. I am so glad more folks are getting to know him.
I was blessed to have seen Roy in concert back in the 70s. He played this song and the whole venue erupted into cheers and a standing ovation! He was amazing!
Roy Clark was like everyone else has said, a guitar master. There haven’t been too many like him. He’s right up there with two other masters, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed. These guys to me, were and are the three best overall guitar players ever. They mastered every technique and every genre of music. True Guitar Masters.
Chet Atkins, man. I'm glad there's videos of him playing readily available on youtube.
Chet and Jerry...two more really great ones.
Glen Campbell wasn't to bad either
👍👍👍
Yeah, there's a good video of Chet Atkins playing La Malaguena on RUclips. Still, I think the best version of La Malaguena I've heard is by Lucas Imbiriba. Every time I see that video I get a big smile on my face.
I’ve been to Cueva la Rocio in Grenada and a few others around Spain, Roy just flat out was a guitar master! He appreciated good music no matter the genre and it shows. Good video, I love Málaga and la costa del sol as well.
While you listen, close your eyes and you hear the heels of dancers in your head. He calls to the spirits of dancers!
Roy Clark is a true legend and master musician. He is missed by countless fans.
A great picker and fiddle player.. Watch his tongue stick out when he really gets going.. His concerts were a fun filled event...
He was just a total entertainer. Music, comedy, spokesperson...he did it all.
I think Roy Clark wanted to bring this song to a wide American audience and for many Americans this is the only version of this they know. Roy had the stage and ability to perform this several times on TV.
His playing was impeccable, every single time. Although in this song he had to have a strong right arm too! Haha! He was a master at fiddle, guitar, and banjo. It's always fun to watch a master at something. They make it look so easy. Can you imagine what that must feel like? Just knowing you can play anything you want at any given time.
Non guitarists can't even begin to imagine the difficulty of the strumming that is going on, absolutely amazing. I remember seeing him on TV in the 60's and always loved his performances.
"I don't know how iconic it (Malaguena) is in America."
Well, sir, I can tell you that if someone has ever been in a marching band, they know this song, inside and out. I was in marching band in high school and college and played the song several times. it is, by far, my favorite song I've ever marched to (I even passed out once while practicing it in high school!). I will get up and scream my damn head off whenever I hear a marching band start in with those iconic opening notes.
If you ever want to see (what I consider) the best version ever, look up The Madison Scouts playing it at the 1988 DCI show in Kansas City.
I legit get teary-eyed whenever I watch that video.
Preach on! When our band director handed out music for our show my senior year (84) we trumpets went absolutely ape shit celebrating when we saw Malagueña.
I know the feeling - I was in both marching and symphonic and love, love, love Malaguena. I was a bass or contrabass clarinetist. In 1967 I heard Carlos Montoya play at Yale. He was probably rated as the finest Flamenco guitarist in the world at that point in time.
Marching band grunt checking in! Hell yea we knew this song along with Gates of Kiev and magnificent 7 that come to mind,, Oh, and what child is this and anything from the 007 movies to that point of late 70's/early 80's. I worked the slide, in the "white bucks" LOL!
Nothing beat the ride home on the busses after a parade with your girl~they didn't separate us back then, that was a mistake HAHAHAH! imagine, bunch of freaky teen nerds, Everclear, long drive home in the dark on a bus? what could go wrong.... :)
YES!!! I've got that DVD & still watch it! It's no easy feat on the marching field, have done my fair share, too. Good times!!!
Hint: long before Madison Scouts (and I absolutely agree with you!), the Stan Kenton band was known for it. I think Bill Holman arranged it for them. So not just marching band and drum corps, but jazz orchestras too.
Roy Clark was the ultimate master of stringed instruments, he could play, expertly, ANY, stringed instrument.
Roy Clark has been my favorite musician since my Dad introduced me to him in 1972. From then on, when I learned the guitar, my first song was one that Roy Clark played and sang with the guitar. I just watched him, and listened. The song was "Rocky Top"
i saw Roy do this live. It was mind blowing. It took so much out of him that it was always his last song of the night. He sweated and was exhausted.
Roy Clark was one of the most underrated guitarists ever to pick one up.
New respect for Roy, I was ignorant of his talent having grown up seeing him on _HeeHaw_ TV show as I flipped through channels as a kid. Thanks for this "outside the box," reaction.
We are in the same boat on that one, except mine sailed 20 plus years ago. I was in awe, as well. I knew he could pick out some impressive Bluegrass, but I heard him play Flight of the Bumble Bee, and was instantly ashamed that I had no idea.
Edit: Oh, and I loved HeeHaw as a kid, and It still makes me laugh.
I watched this very show when I was a teenager. I was living with foster parents and we were glued to the TV. Spellbound. I have never forgotten this. It has stuck with me. Thank you for showing this. He was very talented yet humble. He is an icon!
Roy Clark is one of the best guitar players to walk this earth and he doesn’t get enough credit
Such a shame that when people talk about the greatest guitarists if all time, Roy almost never gets mentioned.
Campbell and Atkins you might see on the occasional top or most under rated list, but Never any of the others mentioned here including the two I've mentioned, Mark Knopfler and Alvin lee.
Have you heard the album Mark Knoffler did with chet Atkins? Pure gold for cryin' out loud, pure gold.

Roy Clark - Yesterday, When I Was Young.
Roy Clark always delivered the goods when it came to his music and he could always seem to surprise you. RIP Roy.
I remember watching a reaction to Roy on a metal channel, he was just as blown away and mentioned how, if you add a little reverb the techniques become metal. It's rather unappreciated the techniques that underlie such amazing talents no mater what their genre. Roy showed in his performances that he knew them all and was a master of so many.
He makes me so proud when I hear him play! I grew up listening to him and he is just unbelievable!
Late to this, however realize roy is playing this backwards, he predominantly uses his right hand to strum and left to fret board. The guitar he used is also upside down, can tell by the decoration on top left corner that should be lower right corner.
Absolute legend.
IF ANYONE CAUGHT IT...HE PLAYED IT LEFT HANDED...HE IS RIGHT HANDED AND THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING HIM DO IT WITH A LEFT HAND....AMAZING TRULY AMAZING!! That shows how gifted he truly was....also he practiced no less then 8 hrs a day most of the time was 12 hrs a day and he also developed his own scales on how to practice...thats why he set the foundation for all the later stars on the electric and acoustic guitar. truly amazing to watch...i grew up watching all the country shows from early 70's is was like a religion in my family so very aware of who this legend is! My opinion he is the best ever! but thats a opinion..
I saw Roy Clark with my parents when I was 12. He was amazing. Such a great player of the strings.
Roy was Roy. He was happy when he was entertaining people, but he took his skill with fiddle, banjo and guitar very seriously. He won National awards with all 3 instruments.
Wow, brings back a lot of memories for me. My grandfather & Roy Clark's father Hester were hunting buddies. His father was a tobacco farmer in Virginia & my grandfather was a tobacco farmer in Maryland. My grandmother & his mother worked together at the mapping department at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. I was a small child but I remember them all meeting at the house a few times a year to go hunting. Back then, I knew he was a musician and had heard him play the guitar and banjo, but it was always bluegrass music. It wasn't until he hit it big in the late 70's with the hit song "Yesterday when I was young" and landed the tv show Hee Haw, that I realized he was a country singer on the radio. He had moved to Tennessee by then, and I was busy being a teenager, so I didn't see him again after that. 😏 I'd love to hear you review that 78 hit song.

I'm 70.yrs old, grew up listening to Roy Clark and watching Hee Haw TV show and that is absolutely who he is. Saw him at the Dade county youth fair in early 70s and he stunned the crowd with his guitar picking.
I met him to n OK, In my opinion we were blessed with his Artistry an Masterpieces ... Truly one of the worlds Greatest Artist ... It was his Passion
I met Roy Clark once. We had coffee. He was a perfect gentleman and nearly as much fun to converse with as it is to watch him perform (although my jaw never dropped while talking to him and it has often dropped watching him play). The first thing I ever said to him was "Hi! I don't like country music." LOL He laughed and we talked about why, and got to know each other a bit, and then he went out on stage and blew my mind.
Really nice guy. The hype about him is real.
my husband played this number on.his guitar 50 years ago and he was a genius in many ways and he pronounced Melaguena the exact way you did so you must have it right. my husband died in the late eighties, but this song he played on an acoustic guitar, he did have a Chet Atkins Gretch guitar. but never played Melaguena on anything but an acoustic guitar
I always enjoy how much you enjoy watching the Great Roy Clark. He is arguably the best ever on stringed instruments.
His stage presence was always that of a hick, or "hillbilly ". But, he was quite accomplished as a musician, on multiple instruments. In my opinion, one of the all time most underrated!
Greatest guitarist ever in my opinion. He could play just about anything with strings.
Roy Clark is one of the greatest to ever play a stringed instrument
I've never heard him play this before but it doesn't surprise me at all that Roy Clark was great with this piece of music. Just fantastic man.
Roy's strumming hand is so fast that it just looks like a blur on camera, unfortunately I was never able to see him live but it would have been a treat.
My mother had a Roy Clark album way back when where he played this song on an electric guitar. I played the grooves off of that album. He was incredible.
Roy Clark was very very very country he is an iconic guitarist and fiddle player, he used to be on a show from the 70s called Hee-Haw they would say I’m a pick in and I’m agreement, the genius of Roy Clark is that he brought this beautiful international iconic song to an audience that would never have heard it before. That is why you don’t hear any accompaniment. He didn’t want peoples minds to shut down to the beauty of the music because it was “foreign“ and I absolutely agree that malaguena is a very viscerally blood pumping song.
It was “I’m a pickin’ and I’m a grinnnin’ “. It’s hard to get that past spell check.
He wasn't "playing" that song, he was working it. You could see by the look on his face he was working hard. I'll bet his strum arm was burning by the end. Beautiful song performed flawlessly.
Roy Clark was one of the most underrated guitarists ever. Because of his jovial personality and the fact that he was a Country artist, he was easy to dismiss but he was a top-tier musician in every sense. He was definitely one of a kind.
EVH said Roy Clark was the best guitar player he’s ever seen.
Yesterday When I Was Young is a wonderful song by Roy Clark.
For those who do not know of Roy Clark, he was a comedian and one of the greatest musicians of stringed instruments that has ever lived! Truly gifted by God and an amazing talent!
Roy Clark is one of the best all round musicians,,,Ever. Plays multiple instruments. Everything he plays is perfect. First time I've heard him play that number, and I'm not a big country music fan but when he plays it u can't walk away.
you might also enjoy his "malagueña" version shown on the tv show, "the odd couple"
I agree MrLBoyd needs to do a reaction to the Odd Couple version. It was so awesome that it inspired people to play the guitar and quit playing the guitar. It was that good. This version is much lower key and relaxed.
@@landonking8367 Yes, a far superior performance by my ears...Not that this was bad by any means mind you ; 0)
Absolutely!!! Season 5, episode 19. The picture quality is very good and you can see his fingering better (when his hands are moving slow enough to not be a blur)
Roy was very nervous when in front of people when he was starting out. So he started working some comedy into his performances to lighten the mood. People loved it so he stuck with it...
One of the best guitarist/songwriters I have ever heard. Glad to know he is still appreciated!
Mr. Roy Clark! Amazing musician/singer/songwriter.
RIP. You are missed.
Roy Clark is one of the most gifted guitarists that ever lived any flavor you like it. What you see is exactly what you get. Lived a party. (not to) imho- he would of loved you, you get it, you get it all. You are a rare breed goodSir. ty .. I see below many that knew.
I’ve always liked Roy Clarck’s talent and I’ve heard this song by done by him before and it still amazes me how he plays this very complex piece without flaw. There is a video somewhere in the tonight shows archive of him playing flight of the bumblebee and he starts at 4 beats per bar and ends up at 32 or 64 ? beats to the bar again without flaw, amazing.
Yep, that was the performance that put my jaw on the floor. I just couldn't believe the sweet simple bumbling funny country boy from HeeHaw could do that. I learned the valuable lesson about a book and it's cover that day.
Just an interesting aside, Jimi Hendrix won his 1st talent contest playing Flight of the Bumblebee.
@@johnchandler1687 really? I did not know that, thank you👍
@@johnchandler1687 As I get older I forget things, but I don't recall ever knowing that. Thanks for sharing that.
@@GreyMatterStew I only knew it because my ex-brother-in-law was a professional guitar player. Not famous, but really good.
He is and always will be a contender for the top 5 all time greatest guitar players. He is very talented and just unreal on anything with strings! Great song and awesome reaction! Thanks for bringing him back to life to show people how good he really was!
Also it’s always great to hear anything from Ray Clark!👏🏾👏🏾😊
I saw him play this live many years ago. He played it so hard that one of his strings broke. If you were not close enough to see it break, you never would have known. Simply put, the man was an absolute master.
