The older gent at the beginning was Louis Marshall Jones, known by the stage name "Grandpa Jones." He was a banjo player and singer/songwriter, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1978. He was a featured regular on a TV show that ran for years called "Hee-Haw", which was a staple of American Saturday night entertainment. Roy Clark and Buck Owens were the show's hosts, and they invited some of the greats in Country music and other forms of entertainment. It was a silly yet wholesome bit of Americana that we could use more of today.
Two of the most amazing musicians in history. Roy could also play violin (country fiddle and classical), banjo, mandolin, and pretty much any stringed instrument, expertly. One of the most talented musicians, ever.
Glen was my uncle I used to hang out with him and the family on their home on 4th street in Albuquerque . That is when he was playing on the Dick Bills show I was 8 then I am 69 now. He was and always will be a huge talent .
I'm 68. You are the lucky one! I admired Glen, even though I was and still am a huge Beatles Fan...I went for melody and harmony [two good lookin' sisters lol].Glen's life story is amazing...he came from humble beginnings to rise above to musical excellence and his voice, wow! what a singer! I still sing some of his songs in senior homes. I was a music teacher in part because of people like Glen inspiring quality and excellence...I took it as far as I could take it. Young people are discovering him on youtube and most are floored by both his musicianship and his voice. These metal head guys often admire his guitar skills technically using the "Shred" factor," but don't get what Glen was all about as an entertainer and singer in all genres. For God sakes he was a member of the Wrecking Crew, played and sing back up many records before fame...Sinatra, The Beach Boys, you name it. They watch a clip and don't even know he hosted his own Variety show, participated in comedy sketches, was in a few movies [True Grit original flick is a classic]. He went through terrible struggles with drugs and came out on top. He played the guitar so melodically, musically, not just a technical show off. I've have seen interviews about playing golf with Allice Cooper regularly 😂, who would have thunk that?
Let me recommend a guitar duo that you should definitely check out. Do Lovebites Scream for Me live Daughters of the Dawn. Midori and Miyako will blow you away with this guitar battle.
For those who are too young to know, Glen Campbell was one of The Wrecking Crew, the musicians who were hired to play on countless LA studio recording sessions for practically every top level recording artist of any genre in the 60’s. They were part of so many hit songs. Glen said he could not read music, but he could do whatever was asked anyway. Amazing. Roy Clark was always one of my favorites. Fabulous guitar abilities. I suffered through so many Hee Haw episodes just to listen to him-and watch all the beautiful women on the show except Lulu! Hey, I was a just kid then and fat shaming wasn’t a thing.
pretty sure he just started riffing at the end (of the solo not the coda)... you could tell that he was just having too much fun and didn't want to stop but kinda realized maybe he needed to reel it in... so he expertly did. And of course the professionalism of a band that plays with great players all the time, just knows when and how to follow.
@DaveWildheart in this performance of the William Tell Overture he does some 32nd note tremolo picking with it behind his head: ruclips.net/video/jjTI4VRX39Y/видео.htmlsi=5oo2IFfuhS0geHqy
The days of Hee Haw! Glen Campbell and Roy Clark were two of the very best guitarist in those days! Simply amazing. Literally clicked just so I can hear them again after so many years. Well done Dave!
Who else can hear the words to this song as you listen to the music? Being born in 1967, my childhood was immersed in this music. My father was the lead singer and guitar player in a gospel group which included a Dobro Master and an award winning fiddle player. It is a past that I will always cherish.
I read somewhere that Roy Clark thought Jerry Reed was perhaps the best guitarist he had ever seen. I remember he referred him as a master. Talk about a compliment coming from someone like him! 😮
Chet Atkins did a PBS show with Mark Knopfler many decades ago, and it was one of best guitar shows that I have ever seen. They played all kinds of music and it was quite impressive.
@@christophertaylor9100 One or two of them were there. Lulu was there, I have a picture of me with the blonde that end the show with “that’s all folks” i think. maybe she did some other stuff too. my dad dated Ronnie Stonean’s sister Donna for a while. Ronnie played the old hag with the ironing board. she was a great banjo player too.
As a Johnny Cash fan, you will love him and Roy Clark doing Orange Blossom Special. I've never seen Johnny so relaxed and having so much fun ... he was two-fisting harmonicas!
Glen was an amazing musician & singer. Roy was the best I ever heard. He was a virtuoso on guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin. Roy won the National Banjo Championship in 1947 & 1948, at age 14 & 15. One of the hosts of Hee Haw which was a country version of Laugh In. Laugh In lasted five years- Hee Haw lasted 25 years.
Glen uses a 12 string Ovation guitar. I have a Glen Campbell Ovation six string Signature Series guitar that he released before my time. The sound has more brilliance than most acoustic guitars. The keys are plated with gold, all to making it a collector's item. Came with a custom fitted hardshell case. I saw Roy Clark in person not long before he passed. My impression of him was he was humble; good hearted and laughed at himself at times. Musically the world looks a little dimmer when these great artists leave us.
Glenn campbell was part of the wrecking crew which was a group that basically did almost all of the recording no matter what the general was in los angeles for a significant amount of time
@@DaveWildheart Ghost Riders in the Sky - Original - Stan Jones (1948) *HD*.. I still stand with this is a must learn on guitar. This here shows what can and has been done with the song over the years. Just an over all fun song to play, even more so around a campfire.
Two of the greatest of all-time. And when you add in that Glen is one of the best singers of his era, you realize what an unbelievable talent he was. Roy had a less "poppy" voice, and was mostly country. But Glen crossed over into pop -- one of the first musicians to do that successfully.
As a 60 year old woman, I grew up watching Hee Haw every week. Great show, wholesome family entertainment that exposed everyone my age to incredibly talented people! In my house my father beat into our little heads that Chet Atkins was the best guitar player in the world, Roy Clark was next and then Glen Campbell was right behind them.
Glen Campbell passed from alzheimers disease. His daughter Ashley wrote and recorded a song "Remembering" to honor him. You should check that out as well.
I grew up listening to these two. I was never a big fan of Roy Clark until I was literally dragged to one of his concerts. OMG! He could and did play all stringed instruments. He was Amazing!
These guys were such a staple on tv when I was a kid. They were both amazing musicians, Campbell playing The William Tell Overture if you haven’t already
He was self taught and didn’t read music. He was a sought after studio musician in his early years and filled in with The Beach Boys when Brian Wilson was out.
Glen and Roy were among the best guitarists of my generation. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should listen to Glen playing the William Tell Overture (any live performance) and Roy playing Malaguena (the Odd Couple episode). You won't be disappointed!
Glenn and that 12 string Ovation, anytime he busts that out for a performance, you know to hold on to your hat, shit's about to get real: ruclips.net/video/jjTI4VRX39Y/видео.htmlsi=5oo2IFfuhS0geHqy This live William Tell he did with an orchestra, and he started tremolo picking with it behind his head and it is super clean...made me want to just turn my guitar into a coffee table.
Glen Campbell was part of the legendary group of session musicians known as " The wrecking crew " back in the mid-late 60's, before achieving solo success ..
Im not sure if youre aware of this, but for a brief moment in the mid 60s, Glen was a Beach Boy. He replaced Brian Wilson for a moment on bass and falsetto vocals. There are You Tube videos of Glen doing a medley of Beach Boy songs. You need to check it out and react to it.
Starting out seeing Grandpa Jones really put a smile on my face. I haven't thought about him in years. My dad and I used to watch HeeHaw all the time and my dad just passed, so it was good to think about that. Thanks for that.
@@ann40069 "A Canada goose I got this fall and plenty of dressin to please you all. Pumpkin pie with cream on top and piping hot coffee, good to the last drop."
This was Roy and Glen basically playing at 30% throttle, for the audience. Glen did bump up to about 40% throttle around the 4:40 mark, just because his fingers were bored. This little, entertaining snippet is just the tip of the tip of the tip of the talent iceberg, that these two legendary musicians possessed.
Country shred. Glen Campbell ripping through scales on a 12 string will never stop being amazing. Roy clark is simply a national treasure. A world class instrumentalist that could play anything with strings, other than a harp. Timeless stuff.
Because of his rise to singing superstar people forget what a highly rated musician guitarist Glen was I believe he was part of the famous wrecking crew group of musicians in his early days.
Written back in 1948, a crossover classic, if you have heard Johnny Cash version it is top notch. Ist version I heard was Burl Ives in 1949, who sang and acted. from earlier days. Doors "Riders on the Storm" remind me of this also
Glen Campbell started playing guitar at 4 years old and was playing on local radio stations by the time he was 6 years old, and writing his own music. In addition to his phenomenal music and vocal career, he was also an actor. He had his demons and faults, but he rightly deserves the title of Legend.
Thanks for making this show up in my feed. Roy Clark is "was" a master with anything with strings no joke., and good with keys. I got to see him perform free at a county fair back in the late 90's. He gets forgotten in "best of" conversations. ANd Glenn. Well surprise surprise
Im not a country music fan but I used to watch Hee Haw just to hear who Roy was playing with and enjoy some of the best guitar playing there is. Glenn Campbell played with a number of bands through his carreer but seemed to settle down to an easy listening style but his great guitar playing was always there. Another great one is when he played with Jerry Reed.
Going down the rabbit hole of these two performers is going to keep you busy for a very long time. But it will be worth it. Roy Clark could play just about anything. And Glen Campbell wasn’t too bad himself :-)
Both of these men were so talented. My mother has a Gibson Arch Top from the 1930s. Grampa told her she would only get it when she could play Under The Double Eagle like a pro. She said at 14 she came home from school every day and practiced until Grampa handed her the guitar. Now it's up for grabs again with myself and my sibs, same rules as Grampa had. I think my youngest sister is going to take it! I play piano myself so I have practiced the song with her a lot.
Glen Campbell was a member of The wrecking Crew, he played on a lot of people's albums long before he ever came out solo. Both him and Roy are virtuoso guitar players and amazing by every right.
We're so lucky to live in a time when we can enjoy recordings of performances like these! I grew up on "Hee Haw" & country/western/folk music & enjoyed it, but I didn't know enough to appreciate how damn good many of those musicians were....🤓
OK, you’ve got a lot of very knowledgeable viewers here, but I’m just gonna say A couple of things: These two are terrific and always fun, great musicians Go ahead, watch Stevie Ray Vaughan at El Mocambo Live playing “Texas flood“! Let’s see what you think. (again, all great guitarists, Different genres). this would be fun!
Country music had some of the finest 'guitar pickers' on this planet! As a kid back in the 60's, we were blessed to have them all lined up on a little show called 'Hee Haw'; and we never missed it.
Glen Campbell was a guitarist in the "Wrecking Crew" when was a group of session musicians that recorded a majority of ALL the pop hits in the late 50 and 60's. He was the primary sound of the beach boys. He recorded it all and no one knew.
Clark was born in 1933. He started playing a 4-string cigar box with a ukelele neck in elementary school. Hisfather taught him guitar at 14. Then Clark learned thge banjo & mandolin. He won the National Banjo Championship in 1947 and 1948, and briefly toured with a band when he was 15.
Roy Clark & Glen Campbell (may they both rest in peace) were among the most sought after studio musicians. The man at the beginning used to feature in the show "Hee Haw" singing as part of a gospel group, among other things (their rendition of the song "I'll Fly Away" is still one of my favourites).
It's great watching you step back in history and bathe ourselves together in the sounds of some of the greatest that I grew up with. We are sharing that moment with everyone on RUclips, with you, all today. Thanks for being so genuine.
Always so FUN to watch two experts having such mastery of an instrument as these two gentlemen. Haven't heard such as this talent for many years. A real treat. Thx.
That's "Grandpaw", one of the recurring characters on the show "Hee-Haw", which was just as goofy and rednecky as it sounds, but it brought us some amazing music.
Louis Marshall Jones, known professionally as Grandpa Jones, was a singer, songwriter, and banjo player whose career spanned from 1932 until his death in 1998 at the age of 84. He suffered 2 strokes after performing at the Grand Old Opry and died the next day.
Two of the best guitar masters you can find, they both perform all kinds of music that is just amazing. they have so many videos that will blow your mind to explore.
The first time I heard this song it was 1949 and I was 9 years old. It was sung by Vaughn Monroe with his big band. Next time I heard it, it was sung by Frankie Laine. Many artists back in the 1950's, including Bing Crosby covered this song. The lyrics tell quite a story that you should check out.

The old school country comedians were often very good musicians in their own right.
No you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip, so you better be sure and listen close the first time
Good music and cornpone comedy...entertaining mix.
'Hey Grandpa! What's for supper?' 😊
Grandpa & Stringbean were my favorites! Loved those gentlemen!
You can't stop this rabbit trail until you see Glen and Roy playing the same guitar at the same time. No kidding.
That, was, EPIC....! Definitely this..!
I can't find it can you please share a link
Two of the most amazing musicians in history. Roy could also play violin (country fiddle and classical), banjo, mandolin, and pretty much any stringed instrument, expertly. One of the most talented musicians, ever.
If it had strings... Roy could play it, like he owned it!😅😊
Glenn could play many different instruments himself including bagpipes.
Yep. Correct.

Lucky ‼️
Hee Haw was a HUGE part of my childhood ‼️
Mine, too!: I loved this show!
These 2 don’t make mistakes. Both stellar players
That's a fact.
Two of the best guitarists EVER, and not just Country, we're talking about across the board.
And across the globe.
@@richardeast3328 Uh, that's pretty much what I said...
@@ffjsb Uh, not really.
Yes in their day, but since then there are many great players.
Both definitely are in the top 100 best players ever.
Let me recommend a guitar duo that you should definitely check out.
Do Lovebites Scream for Me live Daughters of the Dawn. Midori and Miyako will blow you away with this guitar battle.
Roy Clark was the greatest musician of his time. He could play any instrument. He was amazing.
Roy Clark and Ricky Skaggs; the best of the best 'stringed' instrumentalists!

Two of the Worlds finest guitarists.
Recommend:
Roy Clark - "Malaguena"
Glen Campbell - "The William Tell Overture"
I would add 12th Street Rag and the super fun Folsom Prison Blues.
Now you are looking at TWO guitar legends.
The days of Hee Haw! Glen Campbell and Roy Clark were two of the very best guitarist in those days! Simply amazing.
Literally clicked just so I can hear them again after so many years.
Well done Dave!
So many fond memories with Hee Haw & family.

Roy and Glen two of best guitar pickers that ever lived .
Two all time legends! A couple other country pickers worth a listen include Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.
They’re more than worth a listen. Include Doc Watson in this list. Listen to his song Doc’s Guitar
and Chet Atkins protegee Tommy Emmanuel
I read somewhere that Roy Clark thought Jerry Reed was perhaps the best guitarist he had ever seen. I remember he referred him as a master. Talk about a compliment coming from someone like him! 😮
Love Jerry's Amos Moses ‼️
Chet Atkins did a PBS show with Mark Knopfler many decades ago, and it was one of best guitar shows that I have ever seen. They played all kinds of music and it was quite impressive.
2 of the best of all time. I can't imagine how someone could play that part on a 12 string, but Glenn made it look so easy.
I went to grandpa Jones’ birthday party in Oct of 77, I was 14, I met them all, a great blessing!
So cool
Were the Hee Haw girls there? Because Barbie Benton...
@@christophertaylor9100 One or two of them were there. Lulu was there, I have a picture of me with the blonde that end the show with “that’s all folks” i think. maybe she did some other stuff too.

As a Johnny Cash fan, you will love him and Roy Clark doing Orange Blossom Special. I've never seen Johnny so relaxed and having so much fun ... he was two-fisting harmonicas!
Yeah I got that one coming soon

Roy Clark had to be a space alien... Goat doesn't begin to describe him... Glenn was a master musician, guitarist, and singer, AND actor...
Roy had a great sense of humor. Watch an early black and white recording of him doing Folsom Prison Blues.
Will do
Glen uses a 12 string Ovation guitar.
I have a Glen Campbell Ovation six string Signature Series guitar that he released before my time. The sound has more brilliance than most acoustic guitars. The keys are plated with gold, all to making it a collector's item. Came with a custom fitted hardshell case.
I saw Roy Clark in person not long before he passed. My impression of him was he was humble; good hearted and laughed at himself at times.
Musically the world looks a little dimmer when these great artists leave us.
Two geniuses feeding off each others energy. Thankfully it was recorded!
Glenn campbell was part of the wrecking crew which was a group that basically did almost all of the recording no matter what the general was in los angeles for a significant amount of time
I just basically put the same thing you did before I read any of the comments, I just finished watching the documentary of The wrecking Crew.
Glenn was also a part of The Beach Boys for awhile. He once commented on how hard it was to play bass/any deep music, while singing high notes.
Glen Campbell as A temporary BEACH BOY!!!
Check out Glen doing William Tell Overture.
I really should

-That's Grandpa Jones! Glen and Roy - two of the best ever and having an absolute blast on HeeHaw.
-Hey Hon, your headstock is crazy dusty. ;)
I grew up listening to these two. I was never a big fan of Roy Clark until I was literally dragged to one of his concerts. OMG! He could and did play all stringed instruments. He was Amazing!
There is a video on Facebook that Glen stands behind Roy and they play the SAME song on the SAME guitar at the SAME time! IT is hilarious!
Roy was a very fast guitarist and an even faster banjo player. One of the very best!
That’s Grandpa Jones.
He was an incredible claw hammer/frailing banjo player.
Playing with Roy Clark is an honor, and Glenn is no slouchbever.
These guys were such a staple on tv when I was a kid. They were both amazing musicians, Campbell playing The William Tell Overture if you haven’t already
Thank you for letting their performance play to the end without interrupting.
THE guitar maestro is Tommy Emmanuel. Check him out!
He was self taught and didn’t read music. He was a sought after studio musician in his early years and filled in with The Beach Boys when Brian Wilson was out.
I love the sound of Roy's telecaster in this piece!! No special effects here, just pure talent!🎵🎶 😍👍👍👍

Most people only knew glen for his singing not his guitar work but when they found out you couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces

Because of his rise to singing superstar people forget what a highly rated musician guitarist Glen was I believe he was part of the famous wrecking crew group of musicians in his early days.
You know what!!!??? In today’s crazy times I really really miss the simple purity and class of these people and our lives back then 😢

Roy Clark is "was" a master with anything with strings no joke., and good with keys.
I got to see him perform free at a county fair back in the late 90's.

Respect to the Great Talent that entertained so many for Decades.
It was on free TV every week. Miss those days for this but not all things
Both of these men were so talented. My mother has a Gibson Arch Top from the 1930s. Grampa told her she would only get it when she could play Under The Double Eagle like a pro.

Legends. People talk about guitar gods but never think about country artists.
Yeah they are all new to me. I know all the usual rock guitar legends but these guys are something else.
Jerry Reed with draw the views too
Coming up...
You should check out Roy Clark both with Johnny Cash and solo on Folsom Prison Blues
I should do that
At one point Gen Campbell was in the wreaking crew and was on many recordings for many bands.
Dueling banjos and orange blossom special are fun ones to watch Roy play something other than the guitar. He was a genius on anything with strings.
Glen Campbell was a member of The wrecking Crew, he played on a lot of people's albums long before he ever came out solo. Both him and Roy are virtuoso guitar players and amazing by every right.
Roy Clark playing "Maleguena" on the Odd Couple TV show. You won't be disappointed.
That was the " Old " country when I first started listening to music and it was so good. Nice reaction.
glad you liked it --- roy pushing glen to the limits ;;
Did anyone notice how Roy Clark kept his eyes on Glen Campbell's strings and not his own how can he be so great to not even watch his own stuff
We're so lucky to live in a time when we can enjoy recordings of performances like these! I grew up on "Hee Haw" & country/western/folk music & enjoyed it, but I didn't know enough to appreciate how damn good many of those musicians were....🤓
Yippee Kyyae, Yippee Kyyo. Ghost riders in the sky!
OK, you’ve got a lot of very knowledgeable viewers here, but I’m just gonna say A couple of things:
These two are terrific and always fun, great musicians
Go ahead, watch Stevie Ray Vaughan at El Mocambo Live playing “Texas flood“! Let’s see what you think. (again, all great guitarists, Different genres). this would be fun!
I like that idea
If you'd like to do a two or four part video try listing all of the cross-genre hits they played on. Not only their own but all of them.
Two exceptional and legendary guitarists
Mason Williams "Classical Gas" is amazing.
GlenCampbell’s speed and accuracy is uncanny.😊
Country music had some of the finest 'guitar pickers' on this planet! As a kid back in the 60's, we were blessed to have them all lined up on a little show called 'Hee Haw'; and we never missed it.
Glen Campbell was a guitarist in the "Wrecking Crew" when was a group of session musicians that recorded a majority of ALL the pop hits in the late 50 and 60's. He was the primary sound of the beach boys. He recorded it all and no one knew.
Clark was born in 1933. He started playing a 4-string cigar box with a ukelele neck in elementary school. Hisfather taught him guitar at 14. Then Clark learned thge banjo & mandolin. He won the National Banjo Championship in 1947 and 1948, and briefly toured with a band when he was 15.
Two of the greatest and least known (today at least) guitarists ever. So much talent, wish they were better known
Many never knew what a tremendous guitarist Glen was. First time I saw him strut his stuff I was floored.
They are so excited about what each other are playing.
Roy Clark & Glen Campbell (may they both rest in peace) were among the most sought after studio musicians. The man at the beginning used to feature in the show "Hee Haw" singing as part of a gospel group, among other things (their rendition of the song "I'll Fly Away" is still one of my favourites).
It's great watching you step back in history and bathe ourselves together in the sounds of some of the greatest that I grew up with. We are sharing that moment with everyone on RUclips, with you, all today. Thanks for being so genuine.
Roy Clark and Buck Trent's Dueling banjo's from the movie Deliverance still gives me chills.
Always so FUN to watch two experts having such mastery of an instrument as these two gentlemen. Haven't heard such as this talent for many years. A real treat. Thx.
Who knew you could have such virtuosity by the host of a TV show called Hee Haw. So fun to watch and both players so humble.
That's "Grandpaw", one of the recurring characters on the show "Hee-Haw", which was just as goofy and rednecky as it sounds, but it brought us some amazing music.
Awesome. I knew I could count on my youtube comments!
Louis Marshall Jones, known professionally as Grandpa Jones, was a singer, songwriter, and banjo player whose career spanned from 1932 until his death in 1998 at the age of 84. He suffered 2 strokes after performing at the Grand Old Opry and died the next day.
I remember that show. Where, oh where are you tonight? 🎶
@@EdwardCooler-py6mu🎶Why did you leave me here all alone?🎶
🎶You met another and (raspberry) you were gone🎶
Two of the best guitar masters you can find, they both perform all kinds of music that is just amazing. they have so many videos that will blow your mind to explore.
Yeah I've got a long road ahead!
The first time I heard this song it was 1949 and I was 9 years old. It was sung by Vaughn Monroe with his big band. Next time I heard it, it was sung by Frankie Laine. Many artists back in the 1950's, including Bing Crosby covered this song. The lyrics tell quite a story that you should check out.
