I never thought anyone could play this any better than the man himself Earl Scruggs, until I heard Roy. I don’t how it happens, but Roy plays just about anything better than anybody else. The man was an absolute legend.
@@JohnHicksPicks each person's ear likes a different style. I personally agree I like this version better than scruggs and it's the first change up that makes me like it more. No need to dismiss people's preferences. It's taking nothing away from scruggs saying it either
@@JohnHicksPicks as I said each person is allowed to have any preference they want too. And no I'm not tone deaf either and a comment like that just shows that you only view your own preference as right. You should be happy that people are listening to an iconic bit of music. Because until I found this video I never knew this song existed. Apart from the movies. And that led me down the path of scruggs and his music. Like the man himself said people appreciating his music fills he heart with joy. So how about you just do that and appreciate the fact that because of Roy I become a fan of scruggs and bluegrass
Roy Clark is one of the most unappreciated musical talents in American music ,the man could play any string instrument with the best of then maybe even better.
Nobody could play a banjo and really enjoy doing it as much as Roy Clark did. God gave that man talent and we are lucky enough to enjoy it. Thank you God !!
@@bigswingface5847 Thank you, as a musician myself who has dedicated years of my life to my instruments hearing that about anyone or even when said to me it is genuinely disheartening how easy and quick it is for people to discredit your work and think the only way you could ever do that is if god wants you to
I was typing the first one while listening to the song,,, while the rest was playing I got goosebumps All the way from my head to my feet and it has to be really darn good of picking or song to do that to me!!!!👍👍👍👍❤️😛👊👌
Roy Clark is the consummate musician, a true professional. Regardless of the instrument or piece he played, every note was clean, distinct, and on point. And he made it look so easy because he was having so much fun playing. Truly a once in a lifetime talent. RIP, Mr. Clark.
My grandpa could play anything. When I was about 8, I watched him play the banjo and said wow grandpa, you're the best. And he said thanks kiddo, but I'm no Roy Clark.
I have been a bass player for 50 years I would have loved to jam this with Roy that man can play the shit out of many instruments banjo fiddle guitar he was a Master of them all 🙂
My wife and I and friends attended one of Roy's shows in Branson back in the early 90's. He was magnificent. What a performer. He was also an accomplished airplane pilot. He flew his own plane back and forth between Nashville and Branson. A Cessna 210 I have been told. What a talented man!
Roy could catch it on fire 🔥 😳. The funny thing he physically looked like most the guys in my family lol. When we would have family reunions and everyone brought instruments it looked like a bunch of Roy Clark's playing Bluegrass lol.
I swear this dude is a BEAST on Guitars, Banjos, etc. I would have REALLY loved to see him on Electric Guitar. I've got a feeling he could just about EMBARRASS whomever he wanted to.
Roy Linwood Clark (Meherrin, Virginia; 15 de abril de 1933-Tulsa, Oklahoma; 15 de noviembre de 2018) fue un músico de country y actor estadounidense, y uno de los animadores del reconocido programa televisivo Hee Haw entre 1969 y 1992, junto con Buck Owens. Fue una importante e influyente figura en el ambiente de la música country, ayudando a popularizar el género. También era reconocido ser un virtuoso músico multinstrumentalista tocando la guitarra, el violín, el banjo, la mandolina y la armónica. Falleció el 15 de noviembre de 2018 por complicaciones de una neumonía. 91 AÑOS 85 AÑOS 06 AÑOS.
In 1969 Roy owned a home in Davidsonville Maryland ....Down the road from him i worked at Owens Esso pumping gas ..Roy was friends with my boss Author Owens so he would come in the station sometimes..................Yup i pumped gas and if you filled the tank i probably gave you a Free Redskin Glass,,,,,,,,,,,,,,No not Commander's glass
People talk about the greatest guitarists of all time ,but Roy Clark never gets mentioned. Just because he was country/western doesnt make him any less talented than Clapton Hendrix or Van halen (certainly more unique). He was also an even better multi-instumentalist than Paul McCartney or Brian Jones but doesnt get credit for that either. Not fair!!!
I know, it really is. I couldn’t find it on youtube then ended up finding it on tik tok. I didn’t want to cut out when he starts playing but I also didn’t want to hear that voice lol. I decided to just let it be.

He's one of the greatest pickers to pick any instrument up and make every one happy happy happy
If it had strings Roy could play it, one of the greatest ever. RIP Roy Clark
He could probably play even without strings

Better than Scruggs though… come on now 😭
yeah that is absolute slander@@JohnHicksPicks

@@chriscorrigan6191 I just think people are tone deaf who say this tone sounds better than Scruggs it just don’t make sense 🤣🤣

No one gave him anything. He got to be this good through hard work. It's not a "gift", it's he himself working hard to be the best he can be. No god.

@@jareddeltaco6185 Exactly! We work HARD to be fine musicians, no mythology involved.
The pickin, the face, the improv, so brilliant. A shining light in my day. ❤️
One of my biggest regrets is never seeing Roy Clark play on concert. He is the greatest.
Roy was a master banjo player! Among other instruments violin guitar etc❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍he played them all extremely well
Roy could play anything, I miss hee haw.....
One the best musical entertainers of all time!!
Roy Clark Is One Of The Best In The Whole Wide World ! Stay Blessed Roy
THE best and he had such a big heart. I sure miss Roy!
I know there are techniques, but close my eyes and I think that's 3 banjos and 100 fingers picking. Legend Roy ❤️🙏🙏
Roy was an incredible talent! Most of today's musicians pale in comparison.
Check out Billy Strings. You'll be awed & amazed. He writes too.
@@nobodysbaby5048 I'm familiar with Billy Strings, that's one of the reasons I said most, but not all, of today's musicians.
I really love Roy Clark with all my heart ❣️❣️ and I miss him 😢 so much.
"The GOAT"!! Roy Clark..
I know Roy and earl are playing that right now for the lord 🙏 🙌 God bless all the pickers out there you bring joy to the world 🌎 🙏
Dammit, maybe they'd leave us alone if you stop playing that chasin' music! In seriousness, Roy was a once in a lifetime talent and a marvel to watch.
He was an amazing picker. Thanks for this clip.
Great musician who could paly just about anything and play it well.
I was typing the first one while listening to the song,,, while the rest was playing I got goosebumps All the way from my head to my feet and it has to be really darn good of picking or song to do that to me!!!!👍👍👍👍❤️😛👊👌
this is so beautiful Roy Clark playing
The GOAT as far as strings are concerned. I bet he could play a shoe😜
He used Johnny Cash’s shoe to play guitar once. Check out the two of them on Folsom prison blues…
@@damonmusselman406 👍. Doesn't surprise me at all😜
Norman Blake easily better

My one and most favorite Banjo. Thank you very much.❤❤
Mr. Clark was amazing!
NOBODY could pick like ROY!
I was brought up listening to bluegrass and good ol country and I love it
Piece of history I don't know why RUclips won't allow this
My grandpa could play anything. When I was about 8, I watched him play the banjo and said wow grandpa, you're the best. And he said thanks kiddo, but I'm no Roy Clark.
Your grandpa sounds like a great man!
Cartalk is my favorite radio program keep up the good work
I have been a bass player for 50 years I would have loved to jam this with Roy that man can play the shit out of many instruments banjo fiddle guitar he was a Master of them all 🙂
Don’t forget fiddle and could sing too
How I would love to just sit in on a jam session with him and the fellas and just absorb all I could. An absolute master musician
This is the best version of this song
My wife and I and friends attended one of Roy's shows in Branson back in the early 90's. He was magnificent. What a performer. He was also an accomplished airplane pilot. He flew his own plane back and forth between Nashville and Branson. A Cessna 210 I have been told. What a talented man!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Watched him when I was 5 on HeeHaw when my dad watched the 1 show he wouldn't miss. Didn't appreciate it then, I do now. 2 Geniuses.
Love it! Roy had more talent than I can shake a stick at.
Roy Clark is a Beast ....
i love it when he plays anything and sticks his tongue betwee like he is thinking about something important
Roy is and was a musical genuis
Total bad ass, could play just about anything. Great musician.
Timing is everything!!
A Master musician .!!!!!
Just the best that has or ever will play the banjo
One of the BEST! Thanks for posting!
Thank God for reposting this
Amazing forever
Roy could catch it on fire 🔥 😳. The funny thing he physically looked like most the guys in my family lol. When we would have family reunions and everyone brought instruments it looked like a bunch of Roy Clark's playing Bluegrass lol.
This is perfect
for years Roy was the man to beat. Word is tho, Roy had nothing but respect for those who showed up to try.
Man could play
Roy had those Benny Hill facial expressions goin on
I swear this dude is a BEAST on Guitars, Banjos, etc. I would have REALLY loved to see him on Electric Guitar. I've got a feeling he could just about EMBARRASS whomever he wanted to.
Only person that could out pick Roy Clark was my Daddy. Both in heaven and both are missed.
amazing
thanks.was really looking for this !!!!
Magnifique
Crazy. He was ther best..never be another 🙏🙏♥️♥️
Hard to realize that was 50 years ago
I’m a rock and blues guy to the bone. But Man, anyone who doesn’t recognize how great Roy was is just ignorant.
He was the best.
THERE ARE NO MORE LIKE HIM.
The good old days !!!
Hee Haw needs to be back on tv.
The best.
Roy Clark was definitely the professor not the student 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shredding
one in a hundred million
THANK YOU
Brilliant

He was bored from being a COMPLETE bad ASS!!!!!!

Check out Roy's Malegueña
Roy Clark was the Itzhak Perlman of country music. Or is Itzhak the Roy Clark of Classical?
OMG...what a talent! Heavens band got A LOT better when arrived at the pearly gates!
In 1969 Roy owned a home in Davidsonville Maryland ....Down the road from him i worked at Owens Esso pumping gas ..Roy was friends with my boss Author Owens so he would come in the station sometimes..................Yup i pumped gas and if you filled the tank i probably gave you a Free Redskin Glass,,,,,,,,,,,,,,No not Commander's glass
John 5's biggest influence
Yup he smoked those strings.
Anyone thinking of Bonnie & Clyde??
Máster class
Wow .
Show me someone who can out entertain Roy!
One day, if aliens come to earth and wonder what great music sounds like, they should play this for them.
❤
Now follow that
talent Squared!
I'd put him up against anybody that has ever played the banjo or guitar.
God created Roy

Um hello- show some respect- this is the one and only Roni Stoneman. She could out play Roy any day.
...........:)
Roy plays the banjo/guitar/fiddle/mandolin ….like I eat different brands of cereal.
Effortless
😂😂😂
Song: Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
Effortless!
Effortless.
I'll say that no one can prove that he isn't the best to ever play a banjo
that tik tok voice is so irritating
I know, it really is. I couldn’t find it on youtube then ended up finding it on tik tok. I didn’t want to cut out when he starts playing but I also didn’t want to hear that voice lol. I decided to just let it be.
