😮mg, I watched this growing up and still do today at 42
James Best is from my part of the woods in West Kentucky. 🇺🇸
He was good as Jeff Myrtlebank in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes.
Didn't he play roscoe on the dukes?
James Best was the best role to play sheriff Rosco P Cotran on the Dukes of Hazzard
I'm 48 and I still watch this show! It's a lot better than the trash that's called entertainment nowadays
I am 71, saw this episode when it played the 1st time during season one....and the writer I am replying to is right !! Even watching this episode 50 times it is still better (at the 51st time) than anything on TV today
Really good song rest in peace james best
Roscoe!!!
@@JBonhamsGhost thats what he played in dukes of hazard is real names is James Best

Some of my all-time favorite things: The Andy Griffith Show. Pure American. Rock & Roll music. Great guitar playing. And last but not least.... James "Jimmy" Best. One of my all-time faves from that era. I loved him in the Loan Ranger. Loved him in a lot of the other Westerns. And absolutely loved him as Roscoe P. Coltrain, in The Dukes of Hazard. Koo koo koo! But one of my favorite childhood memories was watching him on The Andy Griffith Show, as Jim Lindsey. This is still GOLD!
Great tunes Rosco. James Best one of the most talented actors of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. God Bless him!
Talented man. Not only an actor and musician but an accomplished artist. Many of the paintings on Dukes of Hazzard were painted by Best. Name fits.
He’s also first cousin to the Everly Brothers. “ Bye bye love”
Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane... in his rock star days!
Andy Taylor & Barney Fife live forever in the hearts and minds of most all who grew up in small towns and those who wish they had....RIP Andy & Don
Just wish they would have made Don Knotts a producer and given him a share of the profits when his 5 year contract ended. He would have continued but they didn't want to cut him into the show's profits.
in certain places in this country, there was a time if you asked people who was the holy trinity, they woulda said john wayne, elvis, and andy griffith
@@jamesrawlins735 That's sad, the show would have not existed without him, greed is a terrible thing.
When we had great TV👍👍Still watching
@@kevinworley1254 ?.
I wish the world were like this nowadays. Plain simple and down to earth.
Matthew Scarborough Thank you for sharing this. I know my thanks is 8 years later though.
Nothing brings people together more than music. The worst of enemies can come together when great music is shared.
That is a fact!
That was one of the coolest scenes of the Andy Griffith Show!
Agreed....
I do believe he he set that up….
A full combo in one acoustic guitar. That's real talent!
They were in no way really playing that lol.
@@jstar1000 It was for the joy of the TV joy haha. Two electric guitar parts on one acoustic with drums following in... Television bliss, fun and humor all and all... still love it! Thanks for the upload! (Matthew Scarborough) !!!
Watch his fingers. He is NOT playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@bryanmiles4759 Still sounds good!!!
Every child should be raised watching The Andy Griffith Show. Hundreds of years from now I hope people are still watching. You learn a lot about how to treat people. Andy always reminded me a lot of my father and the calm disposition that was commonplace in small-town America. I am eternally grateful may they all rest in peace they now belong to the ages.
Just one word: AMEN.❤❤
Watched this show all the time. Grew up on it.
Loved them all always watching them on TV
R.I.P James Best,Don Knotts and Andy Griffith.
Sarah Gregory never be guys like those . each of em was one of kind
Sarah Gregory, Absolutely, Those three were tv icons.
Rip
And James Best
Three awesome and talented people well said sarah
That guy's so good he can play electric rhythm AND lead simultaneously on an acoustic guitar.
@Grumman F-14 Tomcat, and upright bass. Roscoe rocks.
Like Andy Said, It's just the light
People had real talent back then.
Not only can James best play lead and rhythm, the drummer is able to play drums without a drum set. Those were the days.
Hey look, if Julie Andrews can sing on a mountain in the middle of nowhere while being accompanied by a full orchestra...
My mom and I use to watch this show for almost a year on The Classic Network before she passed. Miss you mom. 😢
I used to watch it as a kid with my grandma during the Summer and again in her older age the last years of her life. I know exactly what you mean. Simple times, good television, long before reality tv and all this junk online today. It's best to cherish what you have while it's there.
That's a great memory.
Lost my mom 1st day of pandemic lockdown March 2020, yup, we sure miss them, especially limited to 10 at graveside only, not much closure with family & friends
@@donaldstanfield8862 Sorry for your loss bro
That must’ve been a wonderful time. I remember being with my mom.
I'm loving the trumpet section too 😊🎺
One of the 'Best' have ever seen.
When first saw, tried to find again!!!
Love that music!!!
I first saw this when I was 13 years old, and 6 months into lessons. I was about ready to give the guitar up when I saw this and got inspired. I went on and got good, LOL not professional good, but hang out in a party good. I truly believe this scene 55 years ago changed my life.
That’s cool.
As Eddie Van Halen said, “Just keep playing.”
What a great testimony. Thanks for sharing. I just watched this and it inspired me to get off my duff and go practice!
I understand what your saying . I would love to have learned the lead guitar but i couldn't so i went to the NEXT most important part of a band, the Bass, I learned that because it didn't have but 4 strings and it was easier to learn. I got DECENT but was NEVER an expert LOLOL, but i could listen to THIS alllllllll day right here .
It’s actually Barney Kessel of Wrecking Crew fame that is playing the music. In both episodes of the guitar player.
A great man and friend, James and I fished together on several Tv shows.. I miss the stories and friendship!! God bless you James!!
Andy was a respectable guitar player
He was a high school music teacher for a time before breaking into acting.
The much better days of television unfortunately gone by us, and the
real tragedy is those days are very unlikely to ever return.
I love this show....
I'm in my 60's now and like to think I'm one hip Nana. I grew up watching this show. So now with all these tv apps I still watch it everyday to get away, relax and calm down. It's holsomness gives me a break from a lot of the garbage that's aired on tv today. I can't get enough of the great old folk songs they did like "Riding on that new river train". That tune stays in my head for days. I love it.
If I heard this tune *1,000,000 TIMES* I would *STILL DANCE AND SCREAM "YEE~HAW!!!" TO THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AND SAY "WOW!!!* every single time 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Benjamin Tielking whats the song? It’s been bugging me for so long
Yeah me too😍 Whats the name of the song??
whats the song???:((
I don't think it's an actual song. It's just musicians jamming (improvising) to the basic blues chord progression (I - IV - I - V - IV - I).
I'm so lucky I grew up with this show on my tv.
Haha!...my son pulled himself up on the couch to dance to this song, before he could walk...he loved it 😂🤧❤️
What a Great Show ..
That is a great show and I still feel like I have not seen one of them
The future sheriff of Hazzard playing for the best sheriff of Mayberry
Playing acoustic that sounds electric lol
@@robb1761 … and playing rhythm to his own leads.
@The Doobie Sisters & Sack Blabbath Roscoe P. Coltrane
@The Doobie Sisters & Sack Blabbath Why shore! He can get banjo sounds, guitar sounds, trombone sounds. . . out of an old jug! (Denver Pyle as Briscoe Darling, "The Darlings Come to Town" from season 1 or 2 of Andy Griffith.)
You know the Dukes of Hazzard? I know it and I am 10.
Andy, James and Don. There No words to describe how Awesome they were. They are surely missed
Teens my age should watch shows like this. My parents are very cultured and I grew up on this show. It taught me some life lessons. And it's so clean and wholesome.
I’m an African American I love the music from a Griffith show especially the darlings those songs always make me cry.
You're spittin facts, I'm 21. 2001 baby, this show taught me a lot of important values you can't find just anywhere today.
Agreed! I was raised watching shows like this, and Dukes, and Beverly Hillbillies, etc. and these shows I would return to watch any day before watching half of what’s on TV nowadays. So glad my parents showed me these types of shows.
@@trevthekidd
You sound like fine young people. Good for you.
@@JohnSmith-el6lk My man 🤝
One of my favorite all-time episodes😅
While not spoken here, the truest words the ever escaped the lips of "Sheriff Andy Taylor" are ones that we need to apply to our everyday lives. Those words are, " Ya'll act like you got some sense".
One of the few great character actors that was left from a forgotten era of Hollywood. And James Best will be miss by his family,friends,and his fans.
Rhythm & Lead simultaneously, now THAT’s talent!
🤘😛🤘
getting jail cell bars to sound like real drums, now that's talent
Chet Adkins could - yep!
John Smith on an acoustic no less
Yossarian Hahaha!!!! You are exactly right my friend!!! 😂
Beth Bartlett Haha, I think he could too!! 🙏
So Great, Andy Griffith was a genius! The Miracles of Television!
Miracles
I could never get tired of this video.
My family watched this episode in the early '80s, when I was maybe 14 or so. During this scene, my dad suddenly hollered out, "That's Roscoe!" Only then did I see it. I don't think I'll ever forget that. Thanks so much for posting this.
Barney's dance kills me every time
Don knotts was a comic genius he can make you laugh at any situation and he loved doing it and I love to watch him
You just got to love Barney
Yep. We had a buddy that used to get worked up like him. We’d say Now Barn! And he’d pipe down. So funny.
And saw a bumper sticker on the back of a car Protected by FIFE. With a picture of the Barney Fife character. Very funny. He lives on.
That was my favorite part of that sequence
'Cause Fife was a Cat, baby!
The good ole days when life was simple and people were real. Go Barney go❤
James Best was in some outstanding Twilight Zone episodes.
And a couple B movies about Killer Shrews
Loved the twilight zone, still do. Nothing but crap on today.
I was thinking the exact same thing. A year later no less!. Damned good actor!
The few seconds starting at 2:13 had me thinking I was watching the Twilight Zone.
I also like how he was in The Dukes of Hazzard
One of the guys that was on my Veterans Honor Guard told me about a time when they had an early funeral and ate breakfast at the same place James Best would eat regularly. They went to pay their bill and was told that their bill had already been taken care of indicating James Best had paid.
He was highly respected around here.
Fan of country music and Andy Griffith show.
Great show, i remember my Grandmother babysitting me and this show was on every day while she did the ironing. Goooood days those were. In the summer every one was outside scrubbing their sidewalks down. None of us were rich but we all helped each other put coal in, shovel snow etc. This society has lost so much. It's really sad.
monmixer yes but now that we're diversified "they" say we're better off.......
@@kevingee4294 Well hell go back to those good old days. Nobody is stopping you.If they were so great why arent you living that life now?
@Jason Jason...Jason. I see where you got your turn on the computer again down at the old commune. How in the world did you get all that out of one word? You're accusing someone of being a racist without knowing the person. Classic liberalism. Oh, BTW, Trump will be the President for the next 5+ years so might as well adapt.
@Jason The smallest minority is the individual. And where does he mention minorities?
As far as I can see, the "good old days" only set the stage for today's problems --- which you seem to be now embodying in a reactionary way.
Rather than being a product of the negative influences of that generation, how about we endeavour to move beyond those to synthesize something better? If we don't, there's only one destination for all of us.
I did the ironing while The Andy Griffith show was on lol. In the summer every one was outside sitting on the stoop.
We took out the hose , put our finger on the spout and got everybody soaked.
None of us were rich either, but we had fun.. Bungalow Bar ice cream truck came by at night. We’d hear him ringing his bell. My favorite was a Pistachio ice cream on a stick . Sometimes we’d get a lucky stick , good for a free cream bar.
I loved Andy , Barney, Opie.. and aunt bee.. she made disgusting pickles. 😝
Love them all, miss them, still watching them today
me too on prime
I accidentally ran across this video. I watched the whole thing. I was in shock to see James Best so young and talented to play the guitar. He was Phenomenal. This video made my day. Brought a tear to my eye. Wish they were all still around.
You do realize.... he's not actually playing there bud. That's electric and acoustic guitar music coming out of one guitar
@@Quint1836 Mr Les Paul played both parts
@@GenX...MCMLXV Right, extremely rare, and 2. The actor isn't playing it. 3 there's only 1 guitar I see here
The one playing that lead guitar and Rhythm at the same time was actually a studio guitarist if you notice they never showed his hands playing and body at the same time
@@Quint1836 lol I like how you let the person down gently
Born in 60s I must say this era of 📺 is missed. Laughs and Lessons simultaneously. It's 2022... What happened? 😆
LOVED MR BEST! He was in 100s of TV Shows! RIP!! Thanks for ALL the wonderful MEMORIES!!
Loved this show! Made me laugh and cry! Such a simple life back then!
How did this show make you CRY?
Life was slow and easy then not fast and hard.
I miss these kind of shows I wish they were still around it makes me smile every time 😁😂👍
Yes
I found a website when James was alive. It was James selling his artwork. He had a contact email. I told him he was a really good guitar player. He messaged me back saying he wasn't really playing. He actually thought it was kind of funny me asking that. He was a pretty big star to take time to message me back. He was just a really nice guy. One of my favorite episodes of Andy.
Paul griswold I once asked James best for his autograph at an event He told me to go fuck my own mother. He then threw a punch at me. He wasn’t a nice guy at all
James Best passed away at age of 88 in April 6,2015 from complications of pneumonia.
It was Barney Kessel of Wrecking Crew fame that was actually playing the music.
He replied to an e-mail i sent him back in early 2000's and said he appreciated my watching this and the "Dukes of Hazzard"...a real Class Act was Mr. Best, sorry I never got a chance to meet him.
I live in Mr. Best's hometown of Corydon, In. There is a sign in front of his boyhood home that says Home of James Best. Read his book "Best in Hollywood." Some of it is pretty funny.
Incredible episode!!!
I was 2 years old when it came out so I can't say I remember it but I remember the replays a few years later.
I love all the music that came from these shows from the darlings to James best
Barney Kessel, a guitarist for the Wrecking Crew, played the guitar on this episode. Best could play guitar, but he wasn't a professional musician by any means.
I think the darlings did some albums under the name of the dillierds anyone elaborate on that
I've seen every episode multiple times but still always seem to stop when running through the channels.....Great Television that still holds up today.
Sometimes at the local watering hole they're playing Andy on the TV with the sound muted but close captioned. It's still funny as heck, because we've heard every line of dialog many times before.
RIP James Best, Andy Griffith, Don Knotts
I’ll keep on watching as much as it’s on. The best,!
Cool
GREAT ENTERTAIMENT!!!
I get goosebumps every time he starts playing
Barney Kessel, a guitarist for the Wrecking Crew, played the guitar on this episode. Best could play guitar, but he wasn't a professional musician by any means.
What memories this brings! Back when TV showed good family shows!
Sims like a different world now .
Was good times
Everybody wondering about electric thythm and lead on an acoustic...well that's Mayberry Magic!
Zakk Wylde can make an acoustic sound like an electric guitar
And he totally ripped off the Batman riff 🤘
And at the end you can hear a drum set instead of the sticks on the bars. That is because a band was really playing the song!
@@GM8101PHX Ha, I never caught that before and I've seen this at least 10 times.
@@cbf63 No….THAT is a basic BLUES RIFF…
I never knew that James Best could play a guitar, man he was playing it HOT! RIP James
Golden Moment of American Television history, never to be repeated.
This show was pure magic
For an honest sheriff, Andy was sneaky as hell.
I guess that's where Roscoe learned it from
!!LOL
andy was a master manipulator for sure!
@@ryanbarker5217 but he prob meant well
Honest people are usually the most sneaky
A three guitar sound lol...Barney dancing stole the scene LMAO
i love this episode 3 and it is one thing great which will forever be one of my favorites and andy and barney holds special place from maybery nc and in my hearts forever and i love it god loves you so much and so do i from josh walker
I'm watching this episode right now.
I can't believe it!!!! After years of searching I finally found that movie Jailhouse Rock!!!!! lol
Back when shows were funny and we remember them!
I loved the Andy Griffeth Show! Back when lie was simple!
My grandparents rasied me they was depression-era ppl I am from eastern Kentucky we rasied hogs chickens had milk cows..mother would make her own butter ..cream ..butter milk..rasied a huge garden so we can and put up mother would go to the store for flour mill salt coffee anything we couldn't make ourselves ...still plowed with a mule that was just the way the wanted it done I am 40 now boy am I glad they showed me that way of life ...well this show is all about country ppl ..it show you a simpler and better way to live like I did going up ...after all the work was done I was happy to set and watch Andy and Barney .. thanks sorry for writing a book
This is one of the best version of Andy Griffith show
Ooh! I just got chills! When rockabilly meets dixieland!
Every episode of this show is a classic.
Kudos for putting actual music on this show. Back when talent meant something.
Love this episode!

You know that's not really him right
@@Quint1836 Sad but true but whoever the real guitarist is he's pretty darn good!
@@kentshelton3451 oh yeah!! Amazing guitarist
Barney Kessel, a guitarist for the Wrecking Crew, played the guitar on this episode. Best could play guitar, but he wasn't a professional musician by any means.
Herb Ellis played the guitar part. His name is at the end of the show credits.
Always loved this episode of Andy Griffin! Featuring the late great, James Best 🎶
You mean Merv Griffith
Y’all, I just started watching this show with Mama this year (2021) and I’m 23 years old. So far this has been my favorite scene! I love these old shows!
I love how the keys to the cells are handing right in between them on the wall! 😂
The good ole days! 😊
James Best was good in everything he did or played. RIP James Best.
The Barney dance...he was shmooosin
By no
Prefer watching this when it comes on in the evening. Andy was one smart guy.
I love that song
This is great episode, brilliant actors.
RIP James Best!!!
It's all about knowing Jesus as Savior. I sincerely hope that he did.
