I have a friend whose parents had a country band and were on Hee Haw a couple of times. They said Roy was so friendly and welcoming to the acts that came on their show. I loved to hear his music and still like to hear it. I really miss him a lot.
Later in life, I had a close friend who was a bit of a music snob, having been classically trained on the piano. He looked down on country music until one day when Roy was performing live on TV and broke a string. Without breaking rhythm, Roy changed key and played around the broken string. That day on, my friend told me he took Roy to be a serious musician.
Here's a piece that has an Australian guitarist start a song playing a 5-string guitar (the A-string is broken), rather than take ten seconds to swap to his second guitar. ruclips.net/video/j01Ho74qRx0/видео.html
When I was 17(1981) I took my gf to the county fair to see Roy Clark, she thought I lost my mind both being metal heads, after picking her jaw up off the floor she realized I was quite sane. Roy Clark’s talent and ability defies description, you have to experience it.
If Roy's playing doesn't bring a smile to your face, then nothing will. This dude was at a whole other level. To play at that level of expertise, and still clown around at the same time is astounding. He was a multi instrumentalist and a megatalent. RIP Roy and thank you for the great musical legacy you left us with.
Most guitarists would be thinking, “Oh, I hope I don’t make a mistake during this TV show!” Roy was probably thinking about what he’d order for dinner that evening… What a crazy amount of talent In one musician!!!
With Roy Clark comedic skills it's easy to overlook how good he was at playing his instruments especially on his guitars. As you mention Roy was an all-around entertainer and actor. Many have said Roy was a one man show. 🎸🪕🎻🎤
I think Johnny Cash said it best when introducing Roy on his TV show, "When he talks, he makes you laugh, and and then, when he plays, he makes you listen, 'cause he's one of the best, Mr. Roy Clark!"
Love Roy Clark's talent & his humor. He made it look so easy but what he did was actually very difficult. He was able to play his instruments with a really fast tempo. Roy Clark was a great entertainer, humble man & super talented. He was both a singer & musician. His guitar & banjo playing are legendary. A lot of musicians & artists today could learn a lot from his style & technique. Glen Campbell & Jerry Reed were also underrated guitarists. But these men paved the way for a lot of musicians today.
These guys are smoking. When I try to tell some of the younger ones, they kinda giggle. I tell them to try and copy it, seriously. Well, they play a different tune after that. I have to admit after seeing Jeff Beck, I'm a Strat guy ever since. When I saw Glen playing a Sunburst Strat on the PBS Special, it warmed my heart. They may be gone from this earth, but they live in our hearts.
On my first visit to the famous Texas honky tonk "Billy Bob's" I saw him and everyone left stunned at his mastery and versatility. Like many, I only knew him from limited TV viewing, and like everyone there our heads were spinning upon really experiencing him. And the biggest smile in the history of show business. Like someone you'd feel was your best and closest friend.
As you mentioned frame rate-- speed of right hand was literally a blur in ending runs. The display of coordination with speed was dazzling. Analysis w/guitar was needed guide.
Roy Clark had so much fun when he played that his technical skills were under appreciated it seemed here in the U.S. He had some great duets too over the years on HeeHaw.
When I was growing up, Hee Haw was very popular…I loved Roy Clark because it would be a break from the ho hum skits…I knew even as a child I was watching greatness..
There's a serious reason why there aren't lots of instructionals on any platform covering Roy's guitar masterpieces. This is the true definition of ORIGINALITY.
Watching Roy Clark on HeeHaw was a weekly family event when I was a child. He was a virtuoso guitarist, and his facial expressions always had us laughing! Great memories!

"The Lightning Fingers of Roy Clark" was the first I heard of Roy when my dad bought the album. In that time frame, I saw him perform in person at the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Incredible entertainer, on all levels! Glen once said Roy and he had an agreement-- Glen stayed away from Malaguena if Roy stayed away from Wm. Tell Overture!
Incredible. I can't make my fingers move this fast even if I'm not trying to hit certain strings and play an actual song. And the thing is, he made it look so effortless. RIP, Roy. There will never be anyone to fill your shoes.
My great-uncle was a railroad depot clerk and a multi-instrumentalist on guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer (which he used to make), autoharp, squeezebox (concertina), jaw harp, harmonica and fiddle. He learnt it all playing with the family, his grandparents, parents, aunts/uncles, cousins just letting it rip for fun. I feel sure Roy probably learnt the same way when he was young. At any rate, Uncle Willard would whack you if you dared to make noise while Roy was playing anything on the TV or radio. He said that he had never heard anyone have so much music inside him just waiting to pour out. He's been gone since 1984, but every time I hear Roy Clark I can see the rapt look on Uncle Willard's face as he listened.
My dad and I had the best time ever at the 1964 Del Mar Fair when we saw Roy Clark, (while my mom and sister were off at the exhibits) and we just smiled from ear to ear for the rest of the day! He played guitar and banjo and clowned around and won our hearts!! 💜🎶✨
Many years ago I had the pleasure to hear Roy Clark in a small dinner theatre. I can’t tell you how amazing he was. I will never forget that evening. What an honor. Roy didn’t just play music he felt it, Roy was the music
It blows my mind how great Roy Clark was, he was incredible. ~ And you are an amazing musician too, and amazing at analyzing these great talents from our past. Thank you.
A fantastic one here Fil! I've lived Roy Clark's guitar playing since I discovered a couple of his albums in my parents record collection and than seeing him on "Hee Haw". It was a Wonderful era of great country guitarists who were much more technically advanced than 3 chord country music.
Good analysis of Roy Clark. Just finished watching your live stream from yesterday. Missed it due to poor connections. Loved your red lights love the color red. It’s very strong positive and strength and good luck. To bad that you didn’t keep them up. 🎃🧛♀️🎸
Thank you for always paying homage to the great Country pickers from history Fil. They dont get near the respect they deserve for just how great so many were, and still are. Your humble and honest reviews, along with instructions, are what make you the greatest guitar channel Ive ever found. Keep it up Buddy!
I have no doubt Roy practiced millions of hours to get to play like this, but TBH I also think he's got that "born with it" talent that just takes it to the next level(s). I really like the analysis. I'm not a guitarist so it gave me a whole new appreciation of how incredible this performance really is.
Roy's pure love of music .. the encouragement he gave to youngsters coming up. His humor and ability to smile and laugh. His eyes smiled .. his talent took him places but his personality made him a winner.
Roy Clark was very talented along with Glen Campbell. The accuracy and technique of his guitar playing is incredible. This performance does make you smile from ear to ear! Great analysis Fil!
One of our deacon's at church played steel guitar with Clark on the road for years. He was just crushed when Clark died. Dave plays guitar, steel guitar, harmonica and keyboards and he just thinks Clark was the top of the heap on both guitar and banjo.
A truly one of a kind performer. If Roy was just a singer, he would have had a nice career. If he were just a guitar player, he would have been a huge star. Add in his comedy and all the other instruments (banjo, fiddle, mandolin, etc.) and he is LEGENDARY!
Thanks Fil.. great analysis, as always. I grew up watching Roy, and many of the other country greats, most of whom have now left us. Never missed watching HeeHaw, and had the joy of seeing him live several times too. A gift for sure.. but I’m quite sure there were hours and hours and hours of practice involved, in order for it to ‘appear’ effortless.
I had the good fortune to see Roy Clark perform live at his theater in Branson. I had seen every Hee Haw episode as that show was my Dad's favorite all time TV show. I'm a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Page, & Jimi Hendrix. Roy was as good as any of those genius players. I would wager that Roy could have learned to play any of their songs in minutes, while they would need to practice to master his technique.
I got to see Roy at a small lounge here in Las Vegas about 12 years ago. He was such a treat and he played and sang all his hits, especially Yesterday When I Was Young. I was weeping, he was such a performer as well as a talent. He will always be missed.
Fil, I saw Roy and his band perform in the '80s. Tremendous musician and comedian. His band was first rate as well. He didn't mind letting his band do some comedy as well. The bass player did a little funny bit too. Fun show.
FAntastic analysis and demo, Fil. Many thanks. Every time I see Roy I am amazed and can;t help but think of the hours of practice to get the muscle memory and make what is very difficult look so easy while being fast but accurate
Was really great seeing Roy Clark come around again on your reactions. It always puts a smile on my face to watch him play. I always loved his guitar Boogie he can really Jazz out too when he wants to
What an awesome channel this is! I subscribed fairly recently, and the content is fabulous. My wife goes to bed early, and over the course of the last week I have spent the rest of the evening watching 2-3 of Fil’s videos. I have a long way to go!
There are a few genuine giants in all of guitar playing......Mr Roy Clark is is the rare few who are among them. Your reverence of the greats is wonderful to watch.....as you are clearly a very accomplished guitarist this adds to my absolute enjoyment of your analysis......thank you for your wonderful work 🙏
All I can say is.. it never gets old watching Roy Clark play... And the look of amazement on your face.. as well as everybody watching probably.. is priceless..🎸🎻🪕🎶🤗
Thank you Fil for showcasing Roy Clark's skill. He was always a favorite of mine and his musicianship on a variety of instruments was always entertaining.
Being born in the late 1970's...Roy Clark was definitely part of my Childhood...HeHaw was on every week in our house. Mr. Clark just seemed like a nice guy, and a fun guy. As I am now much older...I am just constantly amazed by what a true multi-instrumentalist he was. He wasn't just okay at guitar or just okay on violin.. like he was gifted. I can only imagine how much he practiced all of the things. Thanks for highlighting these old school musicians.
Thank you Fil. What a treat! I grew up listening to Roy Clark on TV and Radio, but never heard this before. Wow! Roy's talent and performance is incredible, but then he always puts in those facial expressions and body language that makes so fun and funny.
What I really appreciate about you Fil is the fact that you acknowledge the talents and skills of past and present artists in just about all genres of music. You, being an accomplished artist can really break down and dissect everything that is involved, makes for a great reaction. Roy Clark was a very gifted musician. Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing it with us.
I do like classic country music very much. Roy Clark is amazing. The humour he showcases here adds to the brilliance of his guitar playing. Thanks for sharing this analysis video. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
You're a brave man, Fil, taking this on. You did well, considering you're trying to imitate the inimitable. Lol. The thing that made Roy so beloved is that he obviously took the music very seriously, but he didn't take himself seriously at all.
While I was growing up we had maybe five albums to our name. Hank Williams, the too fat polka, and Roy Clark. My dad played violin, accordion, harmonica, piano, guitar, and banjo. It seems if it had strings he could play it and all by ear. Even without a little finger that he lost her in World War II he still played today. This brings back a lot of memories of watching he haw while he was slowly leaving us from emphysema. They brought a lot of joy to his later years. I was 16 when he died so it’s extremely important for me to remember some of those childhood memories.
Impossible to watch him without smiling. So much talent and such a fun, sweet man. There will never be another Roy Clark.
I was in awe and smiling the entire time!
He was a fun, sweet man.......
On stage, off stage... not so much.
I have a friend whose parents had a country band and were on Hee Haw a couple of times. They said Roy was so friendly and welcoming to the acts that came on their show. I loved to hear his music and still like to hear it. I really miss him a lot.
This Wings of Pegasus guy seems like the nicest guy in the world. And he knows his music, too! I love this channel.
Thanks!
Totally agree. 🤠❤️🎶
I totally agree, too.
I agree. He actually calms me when I’m in anxiety mode.
Later in life, I had a close friend who was a bit of a music snob, having been classically trained on the piano. He looked down on country music until one day when Roy was performing live on TV and broke a string. Without breaking rhythm, Roy changed key and played around the broken string. That day on, my friend told me he took Roy to be a serious musician.
What a cool story. I've known a few jazz snobs and showed them Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell and Roy. Most of them backed off.
Here's a piece that has an Australian guitarist start a song playing a 5-string guitar (the A-string is broken), rather than take ten seconds to swap to his second guitar.
ruclips.net/video/j01Ho74qRx0/видео.html
He really was a snob.
@@jeffbeckfreak54 They are a poor snobs if they don't know of the talents of these men.
Serious musician? That is pure genius! Only a few guitarists of all time could ever pull that off.
Roy is the GOAT.
When I was 17(1981) I took my gf to the county fair to see Roy Clark, she thought I lost my mind both being metal heads, after picking her jaw up off the floor she realized I was quite sane. Roy Clark’s talent and ability defies description, you have to experience it.

RIP Roy and thank you for the great musical legacy you left us with.
SO sad when he died!! Watched him my whole life :((
I'm glad Roy Clark lived long enough to see how highly regarded he was by the current generation.
I don’t think that Roy let his fame go to his head. He always seemed to be a nice fellow who happened to be incredibly talented. Thanks Fil.
Tulsa native here. I could see the roof of Roy's house from my backyard. Loved being so close to a legend.
Mom was from Wagoner and my Dad, Claremore…they married in Tulsa!!!
Most guitarists would be thinking, “Oh, I hope I don’t make a mistake during this TV show!” Roy was probably thinking about what he’d order for dinner that evening…
What a crazy amount of talent In one musician!!!
With Roy Clark comedic skills it's easy to overlook how good he was at playing his instruments especially on his guitars. As you mention Roy was an all-around entertainer and actor. Many have said Roy was a one man show. 🎸🪕🎻🎤
Couldn't of said it any better!
I wanna say, Fil, that you are a gift to the world of music. I truly mean that.

Don't forget his world class fiddle playing too!

Roy just always looked like he was having a blast, and I think he really was.

Very,very talented.💖
"The Lightning Fingers of Roy Clark" was the first I heard of Roy when my dad bought the album. In that time frame, I saw him perform in person at the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Absolute master at all stringed instruments. Love this man.
He was truly amazing. A pioneer, in every way.
Roy Clark was a wizard!
Loved his rendition of malaguena! Tremendous performance
Incredible entertainer, on all levels! Glen once said Roy and he had an agreement-- Glen stayed away from Malaguena if Roy stayed away from Wm. Tell Overture!
@@jimbarber6368 I didn’t know that. Thank u
@@jimbarber6368They both were brilliant at each piece, so I can see why.
What about the videos where Glen and Roy are playing the same guitar at the same time ??? Pretty amazing ! ! 🙂
Incredible. I can't make my fingers move this fast even if I'm not trying to hit certain strings and play an actual song. And the thing is, he made it look so effortless. RIP, Roy. There will never be anyone to fill your shoes.
That`s why Roy was so high on pills.
Yeah i cant move my fingers that fast naturally. Its crazy pickin

Roy Clark was iconic!!! And so are you, Fil !! Thank you !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Roy is simply awesome! 🙏❤️🎸🔥🙏🎸❤️🔥

As a teenager, I remember Roy on TV quite often. I knew that that he was a great musician, but seeing him play now...W O W !
We don't mind instruction, Fil. 😘 I imagine it would be fun to play along with his recordings. A good workout, at least!
Many years ago I had the pleasure to hear Roy Clark in a small dinner theatre. I can’t tell you how amazing he was. I will never forget that evening. What an honor. Roy didn’t just play music he felt it, Roy was the music
Talent like that comes along about once... Ever.
It blows my mind how great Roy Clark was, he was incredible. ~ And you are an amazing musician too, and amazing at analyzing these great talents from our past. Thank you.
I’m GenX and grew up ignoring Roy and his playing. As I get older i am realizing how important Roy and SRV are to the history of music. Thank you 🙏
SRV isn't in Roy's league
@davidpanzer6746 Please! We can give SRV his due too. No need to play one against the other. Let's celebrate the talents of both geniuses.
A fantastic one here Fil! I've lived Roy Clark's guitar playing since I discovered a couple of his albums in my parents record collection and than seeing him on "Hee Haw". It was a Wonderful era of great country guitarists who were much more technically advanced than 3 chord country music.

Lightning fingers is a perfect way to describe Roy.. Clean brite fast ... Unbelievable good

Only seen this guy on RUclips few years ago my god very rarely looking at fret board so fast and to me no mistakes incredible
A truly one of a kind performer. If Roy was just a singer, he would have had a nice career. If he were just a guitar player, he would have been a huge star. Add in his comedy and all the other instruments (banjo, fiddle, mandolin, etc.) and he is LEGENDARY!
always love when you break down Roy Clark, grew up watching Hee Haw on Saturday nights.
Roy Clark and Glen campbell are my favorite musicians thanks Fil for showing this video of roy he was a talented person on many instruments
Thanks Fil.. great analysis, as always. I grew up watching Roy, and many of the other country greats, most of whom have now left us.

Ooh... one of my all time pickin' & a'grinnin guitar heroes, alongside Glen Campbell! Can't wait to "see how we get on here"!! 🤗💞🎁
And look at Ü, Fil; I could merely look at YOUR fascinated and GRINNIN face to instantly turn any day upwards! Toooo cuuuuute :)
WOW amazing!! I was nodding my head and smiling the whole time too!! I kept thinking now it was your turn to play it lol
GREAT FUN ! Thanks Fil from Eve G.
Roy is freakin phenomenal! Another cool analysis Fil
I had the good fortune to see Roy Clark perform live at his theater in Branson. I had seen every Hee Haw episode as that show was my Dad's favorite all time TV show. I'm a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Page, & Jimi Hendrix. Roy was as good as any of those genius players. I would wager that
Roy could have learned to play any of their songs in minutes, while they would need to practice to master his technique.
I got to see Roy at a small lounge here in Las Vegas about 12 years ago. He was such a treat and he played and sang all his hits, especially Yesterday When I Was Young. I was weeping, he was such a performer as well as a talent. He will always be missed.

Great analysis video Fil! Please keep doing more videos of Roy!!!
Fil. many of us have said your facial expressions said it all when you're watching a master at his or her craft. 😃
Fil, watching you watch Roy is always a treat.
FAntastic analysis and demo, Fil. Many thanks. Every time I see Roy I am amazed and can;t help but think of the hours of practice to get the muscle memory and make what is very difficult look so easy while being fast but accurate
Was really great seeing Roy Clark come around again on your reactions. It always puts a smile on my face to watch him play. I always loved his guitar Boogie he can really Jazz out too when he wants to

I used to watch him when I was real young and he made it so fun. His humor got my attention and his playing made it all even better.
There are a few genuine giants in all of guitar playing......Mr Roy Clark is is the rare few who are among them.

His fingers move so fast- I can’t see them moving. 😂 so fabulous
Loved Roy, one of the best and he was even better on the banjo!
Oh my gosh.. fantastic. How could you not appreciate this talent..Thanks Fil.
I see you already did a Charro video... Her and Roy were the best two guitar players I had ever seen as a youth.
Just unreal! Incredible 🤯

Possibly the most talented string musician who ever lived. Just amazing on these instruments.
💕 Fil…I LOVE how diverse your analysis are! You are a true gem! 💕
PS…..when Fil smiles, the world smiles 💕🌸💕
Never saw Roy play a Jazzmaster before! 😍
Roy was pretty much a master of it all!
Always love any time you look at Roy. Saying he is amazing is about the saying the sun is warm. Love how much you appreciate him
He's comical as well as talented and doesn't seem stretched at all. I did see Benny Hill here a few times
Looney Tunes, too
Yes!
Roy can make his guitar say words. I've seen it Fil, but I can't find it on You Tube.
Thank you Fil. What a treat! I grew up listening to Roy Clark on TV and Radio, but never heard this before. Wow! Roy's talent and performance is incredible, but then he always puts in those facial expressions and body language that makes so fun and funny.
The great Roy Clark. A truly amazing talent, and so humble. A true musician.
Thank you for bringing back your traditional, tried and true, analasys videos ! Please continue to do more videos like this!!
My dad who was not a country fan.( my mom was) but gosh he loved Roy clark..we watched every " hee haw" episode never missed a night.
Thank you for this analysis (& for getting out your guitar)! I've got to go watch your other Roy Clark videos after this.
I grew up watching and lovin Roy Clark 💖🙋♀️🇨🇱
What I really appreciate about you Fil is the fact that you acknowledge the talents and skills of past and present artists in just about all genres of music. You, being an accomplished artist can really break down and dissect everything that is involved, makes for a great reaction. Roy Clark was a very gifted musician. Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing it with us.
“30 frames per second film is not enough to capture all the technique” - that about says it. Incredible guitarist!
I do like classic country music very much. Roy Clark is amazing. The humour he showcases here adds to the brilliance of his guitar playing. Thanks for sharing this analysis video. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
It is an instructional video.
An accomplished guitarist, in his own right, is educating us on just what level roy was on almost 60 years ago.
Can't even comprehend this. Roy Clark always been a favorite of mine starting with Hee haw, oh oh I gave away my age.😂
He has a sporting right hand. Great spring effect as well. Keep in mind it is live and direct into a tube amp with no effects. A virtuoso.
You're a brave man, Fil, taking this on. You did well, considering you're trying to imitate the inimitable. Lol. The thing that made Roy so beloved is that he obviously took the music very seriously, but he didn't take himself seriously at all.
While I was growing up we had maybe five albums to our name. Hank Williams, the too fat polka, and Roy Clark. My dad played violin, accordion, harmonica, piano, guitar, and banjo. It seems if it had strings he could play it and all by ear. Even without a little finger that he lost her in World War II he still played today. This brings back a lot of memories of watching he haw while he was slowly leaving us from emphysema. They brought a lot of joy to his later years. I was 16 when he died so it’s extremely important for me to remember some of those childhood memories.
