I promoted artists for 33 years before I retired and promoted Roy Clark at least 5 or 6 times. In EVERY contract, I would demand he play this song (Malagueña) at the end of his show. I would bring in Music Students from Local Colleges and Universities along with any High Schooler I could get so they could not only see but hear him play. He was as nice as they come and he lived in Tulsa Oklahoma where he died. He never let me down and the audience never let him down. The last concert, a few years before I retired he told me he was getting too old to play this piece every night so I was the only one that was getting it that entire week. He got one of the longest standing ovations that last show! A total master in my book! RIP ROY CLARK!
I know a pretty decent banjo player, John McEuen. I went to high school with one of his sons. I've seen John playing a lot, practicing, showing off...etc. I asked him once if he was the best banjo player. He laughed and said Roy Clark was better. Amazing to see a guitar picker blowing people away like that.
i grew up with roy on hee haw. he was my first crush
Roy Clark could play almost any stringed instrument. In my mind he is definitely one of the greatest ! He is right up there with Chet Atkins
Mr. Clark was In my families county. Yeah he's a sooner.
@@phxrisingangel Those were the days, my friend!
About a billion years ago, I bumped into Roy at a guitar shop. He asked me to play something for him, sat down and gave me some hints and pointers. One of the most memorable moments that I'll never forget.
That sounds incredible!!!!
That’s both amazing and hilarious. As talented as he was, he was a truly humble man. What a memory and experience to have.
Wow! What a thrill!
What an experience that must have been. I don't think any guitarist from the greenest beginner to the most seasoned pro would have passed up the chance to get pointers from Roy Clark.
That's a great story. I'm not a big country & western music fan. But, I always admired Roy Clark. Very talented man.
The reason that his name will easily be forgotten, except for those of us who grew up watching him, is because he never sold his soul… Seriously… That’s the real reason…
Roy Clark is known as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Its just crazy that you didn't know who he was. He also played banjo, fiddle, mandolin, basically any string instrument.
It's just that he's a young man and they don't really showcase him or Hee Haw or the Jimmy Dean show or anything anymore. Glen Campbell was a bad ass guitar player as well. ;) ...but I know you know that.
Unless you watched Hee Haw growing up you probably didn't get a lot of exposure to Roy Clark. He didn't get any radio play nor was he one a best selling artist, people on the inside knew him well but the mainstream never really got a chance to see him other than Hee Haw.
Barbra Mandrell was a hell of a stringed instrument player as well. Here is a video of her and Roy together. ruclips.net/video/SU6I2Agpq0w/видео.html
Yep. I grew up listening to him
Roy used to guest host the Tonight Show for Johnny Carson. Very well-known but it’s been a generation or two.
Roy Clark IS widely renowned as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I love watching videos of Roy Clark and Glen Campbell jamming.
I think Jerry Reed belonged up there as well, he was just having too much fun to make it look like work. 😂
@@M0rmagil I was going to add Jerry, but you beat. me to it. Chet Atkins as well. These guys played with feeling, but also were disciplined with their technical ability.
Who's Roy Clerk?
@@jamesreece9502 Typo. I think you knew that.
@@peterdallman4550 I did. I was being an ass.
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.
Roy played Yesterday When I Was Young at Mickey Mantles funeral.
They weren’t underrated at all. They were huge!!!! Your from wrong generation
@@midnightsun2483 that’s right. In addition to being a tremendous finger picker with a golden thumb Jerry was perhaps the most prolific writer of music for the guitar. In fact, in my opinion you really can’t be a well rounded and accomplished fingerstyle player without incorporating several Jerry Reed tunes in your repertoire. The Glen Campbell Good Time hour was filled with fantastic guest musicians and it was a great show with Glen playing beautifully every show. Of course by then he was long known as one of the go to guitarists for recording sessions. And Roy was a multi instrumental virtuoso much like Mark O’Connor for those too young to remember.
Glen Campbell was in "the wrecking crew", a small body of exquisitely skilled professional studio musicians who provided backing for hundreds of performers on thousands of recordings, before he found personal fame. I don't know how he can be descibed as "under rated". That is an insult, damning with faint praise. Jerry Reed was also an enormously talented guitar monster and a prolific songwriter. His songs were covered hundreds of times. He had roles in 22 movies. Perhaps you chould choose a less demeaning adjective to reflect the wide audiences and great successes of these performers. Just because you don't know much about them is no reason to consign them to mediocrity.
Jerry Reed was insane!!
Nothing makes me feel old like seeing someone discover a well known legend. Mostly because, to me Roy has always been there. Great video!
Same. I was like, who doesn’t know Roy Clark?! Hahaha. I am over 50 so…
I'm right there with you. My dad and I used to watch Hee Haw together, and to me Roy Clark is about as familiar as Mickey Mouse.
I'm only 45 and I feel that way too, I grew up watching Roy on TV any time he was on.
@@arekpetrosian4965 same here, Roy Clark was a Sunday night staple for years in my home as a kid
@@JohnMiller-zn9pf You know...being totally serious here...we grew up BLESSED, and we didn't even know it until decades later. We had the best music, the best tv shows, the best movies...the best society...
I truly feel terrible for the kids of today; they will NEVER know the pure, simple joys and pleasures that we enjoyed, and took for granted.
Roy Clark could play anything that had strings... except shoes, I don't think I've ever seen him play shoes.
He played the shoe horn though
I've heard rumors that he was good at that too...
I bet he could play shoes...and string beans too... better than anyone.
Shoes?! Does tapping his feet count?
Key phrase being “never SEEN.”
Roy Clark is a freaking legend! I loved watching him on Hee Haw when I was a kid! Everybody who loves music should know his name! R.I.P. ROY!!
Hee Haw was a Blast!
Yes, he played it live in front of a live studio audience in that Odd Couple spot, and yes, Roy Clark was absolutely amazing.
Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix both said when asked that Roy Clark was the greatest guitar player ever. He was well known within the music industry and, of course, the country music fans. What he was playing there was Flamenco-style. Roy was amazingly dexterous at fingerpicking. He was so good that he didn't really need to look at his guitar when he played. He would look up in the air or at the audience. You should hear him with the fiddle.
Pretty impressive on the banjo too!
(please read the sarcasm in the "pretty" part of my comment)
Hendrix said that about five or six different guitarists. He was just being polite.
@@shannonhenson609 I was just about to add something like that. Terry Kath was usually at the top of hendrix's list.
@Nomen Clature And vice versa. As great as Roy was ...he did not revolutionize and invent an entirely different sound and style for the electric guitar, as Hendrix did.
@Nomen Clature I've listened to his stuff for 50 years. I never said he was the greatest ever. There were faster players even in his own day. All I said was that his playing style was very different and new at that time. He influenced countless players over the years. When I hear players like Steve Vai, Frank Marino, Eddie Van Halen, Pat Metheny, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, George Lynch and many many others speak about his influence.....I tend to believe them.
Why wasn't Roy Clark better known? Because he played and sang Country Music, a much under-appreciated genre. He and Buck Owens were hosts of the TV show Hee Haw.
He was well known and well respected. It might be your age and or your era. Or that you grew up in the wrong area 🤷♀️
@@gaetagirl Also, he was on TV in an era before VHS and *way* before RUclips, and a lot of the shows of that era are no longer in wide syndication or reruns. So his work is not as in wide circulation today (also, country music radio stations are less likely to play "oldies" classics than pop and rock radio, I'm guessing).
Glen Cambell, too. Cursed to be considered an “entertainer”. Outstanding musician.
Roy Clark was huge. I don't think there was anyone in the 1960s and 70s that didn't know him. One thing was that he appeared on The Tonight Show numerous times when it was THE talk show that pretty much everyone watched. Also a lot of people watched his syndicated show Hee Haw (a mixture of country music and broad comedy).
In the eighties there was a lot of rabid hate for country music for a while. It turned around in the 90s, but before that, a lot of people just dismissed anything country. They missed out. Old episodes of Heehaw have some of the best musicians just going to town.
Roy was named "Entertainer of the Year" by the Country Music Awards in 1973. He hosted "Hee Haw" from 1969 to 1997. I grew up hearing that man pick, sing, and tell good 'ol jokes growing up. My Grandparents loved "Hee Haw" and watched it every time it came on. Roy, Buck, and the rest of the gang were a big part of my childhood, I still miss his pickin' and his grinnin'.
Just call BR-549.
My mother LOVED "HeeHaw" -- was she from Tennessee? Oklahoma? South Carolina? No, she was born and raised in New York City. (New York City???!!!) lol
Co-hosted
Roy Clark was one of the greatest guitarist of all time!
I remember watching him when I was a kid. My dad was in awe of Roy Clark’s playing, so I knew that meant he was special! I was in awe, too, and still am. Roy Clark is definitely one of the greats!
I never thought about him not being famous. It's Roy Clark man! Every time I saw him my reaction was the same as yours
"How does he do that!!"
I have always Loved this clip from the "Odd Couple." Tony Randall and Jack Klugman are two professional actors (and very good actors by the way) in the middle of a scene, but when Roy Clark starts to play even Tony & Jack become, like all of us, a member of the audience. Look at their faces and body language. It's as clear as day. This is an immortal testament to the Talent of Roy Clark. God Bless You Roy you will always be loved. RIP.
Agreed. That's not Felix and Oscar watching... that's Tony and Jack watching. 🙂
I freaking love watching people who have never heard of Roy Clark watch him play... anything. He was a virtuoso with ALL stringed instruments. His ability to throw in comedic elements while he was playing is legendary. I STRONGLY encourage you to watch more of his work.
I once saw Roy on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson play, as I recall, this same song. Midway through the performance he broke the high E string. He completed the performance, compensating for the broken string, and didn’t miss a note! Virtuoso indeed!
How Paganini of him! Paganini was renowned for doing that on the violin.
Roy Clark could play anything with strings. He was a master on the banjo, the violin and a wonderful all around performer!
I would like add he went 15 and 0 as a boxer then quit and got the music bug.
In a world where everyone has to be categorized, Roy was a country performer. Country performers, no matter how skilled, don't get the respect that people in other musical categories get.
Truth.
He IS known as one of the greatest of all time. My friends in Detroit would laugh at me when I would stop whatever I was doing, run home on Sunday evenings in the 70s to watch Hee Haw. Every week I was blown away. Roy Clark and Chet Adkins were regular members of the house band named The Million Dollar band.
You must have been in such aw of Roy playing the guitar That you forgot it was Saturday night at 7
@@sylvrbullets I was nine so I guess the exact night escapes me. I knew it was on the weekend.
My parents loved Hee Haw when I was growing up. I thought it was corny as a 13 year old, but NOW, I go back and re watch episodes of Hee Haw. Such talent.
I him saw him on Hee! Haw! - Doing " Yesterday When I Was Young " - The overall concept of that song is simple - even maybe old-fashioned, yet it is a song I could never forget. It's message touched me when young and still does.
Hee haw had the top country talent for many years, brings back good memories of a different time where life wasn't the insanity it is today. Some of the 60s shows are gems. Towards the end you could see he problems they were having. Wasn't noticeable at the time but now that a few have told their stories from their HeeHaw days it's easy to see. But most shows back then we're no different, even game shows like match game all the panelists are feeling pretty good! 😂
That reaction from Jack Klugman and Tony Randall was genuine. Roy Clark played different solos during the rehearsals, so they didn't know what he'd be playing until he started playing.
Right. I was going to say, you know they were "out of character" watching him.
Clark, along with Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell are generally considered to be the greatest "pickers" in US history, and this is not to take away ANYTHING from Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page or BB King -- or Andrés Segovia, probably the greatest classical guitarist of all time. Today's absolute best like Richard Smith and Tommy Emmanuel doff their hats to Roy and the rest.
And Clark was a musical polyglot: He could play just about anything. Best known for his guitar work and fiddle, he could play brass (primarily trumpet), some woodwinds, pretty much every stringed instrument and was conversant with percussion (over and above pianos, which of course he could play very well indeed). I think he mentioned in some interview back in the 80s he played about 3 dozen different instruments (although claimed he wouldn't touch the bagpipes 'cause that was too much like work!).
On top of that, he was best known for his C&W stuff, but he was really not genre specific; he could do rock, classical, bluegrass, chamber, flamenco (which you heard here), "easy listening"....he really wasn't that (you should pardon the pun) picky.
How good was he? I saw him guest-host a live broadcast of The Tonight show with Johnny Carson, and in the opening musical number, he broke a string on his guitar. He instantly transposed into a new key and carried on....until a *second* string broke. And he transposed on the fly again, and probably had to transpose two or three times to the end of the song in order to get around the missing notes and chords he could no longer play. He and Ed McMahon chatted about that right after the commercial break, and Clark noted that all guitarists know a string is going to break on them at a live show, and how to work around it, but their greatest fear was a second string breaking before they could finish and change out their instrument. And that's what happened to him there, on national live TV.....and he owned it like a champ.
Don’t forget Eddie?!?
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write such an informative and well thought out comment.I hope thousands more Get a chance to read it.
Tony Rice is pretty well up there too.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Glen Campbell one of the premier studio guitarist of all time playing for many rock bands when in studio?
@@wizzard4063 Yer not wrong. Campbell was part of the "Wrecking Crew" that actually played the music for half the Top 40 bands.
Roy Clark was one of the greatest musical talents ever. I'm glad you found him.
Malaquena is one of the most complicated pieces of music I've ever tried to master, and I never have. I've listened to Roy Clark perform this piece a number of times and I'm in awe of this man's talent and skill every time. I don't believe people took him seriously enough as a musician until they heard him play this.
Honestly not sure how the guitar didn't burst into flames. That was simply amazing.
If Glen's fingers fly - why can't mine?
He not only play guitar that good he played the banjo and violin aka fiddle that good also one of the greatest musicians of all time
When Roy Clark played, I could not move until he was finished. He was amazing.
Many younger folks have no idea who Roy Clark is, and some of the older generations only know him from "Hee Haw" and Country music, but man, Roy is a guiter virtuoso with a capital V. A mostly undiscovered gem, so thank you for shining a spotlight on this humble and amazing man!
You can see where the actors cease to be the characters in the show and are simply people in complete awe of what he's doing
Roy Clark was a musical genius. Great review
Clark was not just a master of the guitar but of any stringed instrument, he was amazing!
If it had strings, Roy Clark could play it.
Roy Clark could make a banjo do things no one else could........along with a multitude of other instruments. Best thing about Roy was he loved to make people laugh! He is a modern day Mozart, Bach or Beethoven. He was truly a gift to humanity.
He was so associated with the “Hee-Haw” TV show, and it’s “
“Redneck Country “ antics, that he was sooo overlooked [ and really ,typecast] by people in general, that they overlooked just how incredibly talented he was.
📻🙂
If it had strings, Roy Clark played all of them at a legendary level
He was self taught !!!
@@tonyalcaro7505 i know, the man taught himself to play while entertaining.
One of the many neat things about this performance, which was done live in front of an audience, is how Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, two highly trained and experienced professional actors on a hit TV show totally fell out of character at the end on the song.
They were that blown away. Clark was a musical genius. Guitarists today could learn a ton from Roy Clark.
Roy caught them off guard, as they weren't expecting him to play this, the rehearsal song was different.
@@mythsislittlefarie7635

During an interview, Tony recalled that when Jack turned to Tony, he said " he got us"
"Felix" is completely out of character.
You would never see him slide down the arm to sit in a chair.
Especially with a drink in his hand.
I happened across your reaction of Roy Clark, and I heard you mention Jimi Hendrix. There is a story of a reporter asking Jimi how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world, to which he replied, "I don't know, you would have to ask Roy Clark.". Enjoyed seeing your discovery! Much Love and Peace All!
Jimi also thought VERY highly of the late Terry Kath of Chicago fame, reportedly calling him "the greatest guitarist in the universe". I don't think he was being literal, but I do think he felt Kath was on another level like Roy Clark.
Roy Clark won a national banjo championship 1 year after his first banjo lesson. Keep looking for him. Best guitar player in the history of the instrument. And he was country, when country wasn’t cool.
If you notice...the Actors on the scene...stopped acting. They were just two guys having their Minds blown by a Guitar Master.
I grew up and heard and watched him, I'm 71...he masters any instrument
Those of us who grew up watching Hee Haw know Roy Clark. They showcased his guitar pickin now and then. His playing always brings tears to my eyes... absolutely amazing.
He's the greatest guitar player this earth has ever seen. If you've ever heard of a guy named Eddie Van Halen, he once asked Alice Cooper to ask his friend Jerry Reed, to ask Roy Clark, if Roy would give him a lesson. This was in the late 80s, after Van Halen was a well established band.
I have seen the interview with Alice Cooper and it was Glen Campbell Eddie wanted some guitar lessons from. This is right out of Alice Coopers mouth.
@@dinodasbunce6224 Glen Campbell never had a guitar lesson in his life. He is totally self taught by his own ears. That has been well known about Glen, since the early 1970s. He could no more give a lesson to Eddie than a one legged man could win an ass kicking contest.
@@darrinlindsey Dude, why don't you look up the video and hear what Alice Cooper said about that himself. Glen was more than capable of teaching Edie or anyone else great guitar technique.
does not matter if Glen ever had a guitar lesson or gave any lessons, or if he was self-taught, if he could play is all that matters, because someone listening to his playing and want to learn it not because it was the best ,but because they liked his sound
There was this guy called Stevie Ray Vaughan, and this other dude called Jimmy Hendrix?
Roy was a unbelievable multi-instrumentalist. He was one of the longtime hosts of Hee Haw.
the worst show that was ever on tv, nothing but making fun of rural people. he was a brilliant musician maybe, but not brilliant
My favorite song was he said the song that was responsible for getting him out of prison. He took his pick and made sound like was filing through the jail steel bars. LOL
Roy Clark was very well known in his day, but as a country musician. He also sang. Most folks found out about him on Hee Haw. So sad he didn't get a wider exposure. He was MAGNIFICENT.
Clark is arguably the best "pure " guitarist of all time.
He was one of the greatest entertainers of all time. He could play the guitar, banjo AND fiddle. He was a good singer, too. One of his biggest hits was "Yesterday When I Was Young". He & Buck Owens hosted the show "Hee Haw" and was a good comedian.
Roy was absolutely the best on anything with strings. At another level.
He played guitar, banjo, mandolin and violin. Dude was a genius.
He was a true talent,.watch the video where he plays folsom prison...he makes the sound of aTrain and gun with his guitar...amazing!!
Clark was a regular on Hee Haw and regularly played guitar with that band, along with Earl Scruggs, both phenomenal guitarists/banjo players. They were both on episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies too. Fun times.
A wonderful man mostly remembered for his comedic role on the tv show Hee Haw. Funny charismatic and extremely talented. So humble you’ll never know who he is unless dig around on your own. Glad you discovered him for yourself. Very beloved member of the musical community.
You have just been introduced to the most talented acoustical guitarist this world has seen. And the most humble. Just one heck of a guy. Oh and he plays a mean banjo as well.
I saw him in concert at a semi pro baseball game after concert in Portland Oregon when I was a kid, The guy played 11 instruments during the concert perfectly I was amazed!
Actually he has been a world renowned guitarist for many, many years, God rest his soul.
My uncle dated his Daughter Diane when they were in Highschool and he has influenced my music as well as many other talented Musicians! His hit "Thank God and Greyhound Your Gone" was playing in my dad's car when I first heard his music than my dad showed me Hee Haw, bought every season on the DVD set lol was worth every penny
I remember Roy Clark starting from when I was just a little kid. You're right....he's very much under appreciated. I think he'd be in his 90s now if he was still living. The Odd Couple was a great show too. Both are from a time which is unfortunately long gone.
Oh, and I looked it up. That Odd Couple episode seen here first aired in 1975.
Because of Roy Clark’s association with the country music genre, he is practically an unknown in other genres. He is an under appreciated string master. Is also proficient with violin, banjo and mandolin.
Country music and Bluegrass music have some of the best guitarists ever who aren't well known outside of their genres.
Chet Atkins is the one most people are likely to know. But you have Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Jerry Reed, and many more.
Roy Clark is one of, and arguably THE, greatest guitarists of all time. He not only played guitar, but banjo, mandolin, and fiddle. He was most known for his country music and his time on Hee-Haw, but he could play classical guitar just as well as anyone. I think because he was on Hee-Haw, he was seen as a joke or comedy guy and that detracted from his notoriety.
He is the greatest of all time. You youngsters are just learning you don't know as much as you thought you did. Tony Randall and Jack Klugman are both well respected actors. Tony Randall was on the big screen. Jack klugman stared in other TV Series. Roy clark starred in Hee Haw best hour on TV ever. PS glad you found him. He could play anything with strings..... He played blues, rock n roll, country, western anything.
Roy Clark was one of the greatest guitarists ever! He also played the banjo and fiddle, and gained numerous musical awards during his lifetime. He played with the Grand Ole Opry and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009. I watched him perform many, many times during my youth, and had the pleasure to attend one of his performances just a few years before his passing, and he even signed my Girlfriends cowboy hat after his concert. He struck me as a very talented, yet humble and gracious man. Thank you Roy Clark, for many years of wonderful music and entertainment!
I grew up watching Roy, he was and still is a legend!
The best guitarist in history 👏👏 A legend. He is widely renowned in the world of country music.
Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were both asked who's the greatest guitarist? Both said go ask Roy Clrak.
If there's one thing I love more than listening to Roy Clark, it's watching people discover his skill. Your reaction put the biggest smile on my face.
One of the best guitar slingers, ever. Very underappreciated.
Wow, Malagueña with a pick! My ex husband is a classically trained guitarist who studied finger style voraciously for years and grew up playing Spanish music… he also studied flamenco… so I am very familiar with this beautiful piece of music. This wasn’t the prettiest version but it most certainly was incredible impressive! Those who know, know Roy was a legend on the guitar.
I saw Roy play in 2003. Man was sensational! So was his band. Ronnie Millsap is another from that period of music that blew me away when I saw him in 2007. People want country, they should listen to some from these legends!
He was a cast member of he-haw if In remember correctly. There is a video where he plays with a kid, you should watch it. You can see how proud he is that the kid can play so well.
Roy Clark, one of the unsung greatest guitarists in history. He could also play "any" instrument. Watched him play, it was a trumpet or sax, and with equal skill.
Roy was part of a secret group that played on records for most music records made in the U.S. from the early 60's to the mid 80's. They played Jazz, Classical, Country, Heavy Metal, and Pop music. He played on records for "The Beach Boys", and groups going back to Hendrix. Roy was the greatest and most versatile player that ever lived!!! There is a much longer video on RUclips of the entire song, this was only a part of this song!
I think you are refering to “The Wrecking Crew”, that filled in at the recording studio’s when some of the individuals in a popular band were musically weak. I dont remember Roy Clark being mentioned as a member, Glen Campbell was though.
Exactly. I think the o.p. Has Roy and Glenn confused. Both towering talents, and they did play together sometimes though.
An incredible musical artist. One of my fondest childhood memories is listening to this man astound us with his talent.
Roy Clark is a G.O.A.T.
How can you be "a" GOAT. Either you're "the" GOAT, or somebody else is.
@@Nightcrawlerfive It's Greats Of All Time there are many goats
@@alanwhetstone3922 Well, OK. But that waters down the complement considerably if you mean it that way. GOAT normally means Greatest Of All Time. So there's only one. (But many differing opinions on who that one is in most cases)
Roy Clark was the total package. Outstanding player on multiple instruments and multiple genres. He hosted awards shows, the tonight show and brought lots of comedy to his shows as well. Total entertainer.
A true "musician." A master. He was amazing on any instrument he picked up.
Jerry Reed is also a G.O.A.T.
Most of us old farts remember Roy best from his time on Hee Haw, a weekly redneck comedy variety show with his co-host Buck Owens, another classic country music legend. It featured clean, corny, “Aw shucks” hillbilly humor with skits and music. Hugely popular. Roy could practically play anything with strings (never saw him play a harp but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did). His banjo skills were incredible and he is worthy of a deeper dive on your part.
Roy Clarck. It is a crying shame more people don't know just how good he was. One of the best ever.....EVER!!!
thank you for the reaction!
He is World renowned. I don’t know any legit guitarist who doesn’t know who he is. I got to see him in concert at one his last concerts before he passed. I grew up watching him and Buck Owens on Hee-Haw. He was truly one of the greats.
Roy won Entertainer of the Year and Guitarist of the year in Country several times back in the day. He deserves to be remembered just like Eddie Van Halen!
"Roy Clark is known as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Its just crazy that you didn't know who he was. He also played banjo, fiddle, mandolin, basically any string instrument." I grew up with him on Hee Haw, anyone knew who he was that knew music. Chris Allan goodwork :) Its like when I show Stevie Ray Vaughn to my family,and they have no clue who he was
This guy is an amazing guitar/banjo player. If you’ve never heard duelling banjos from the movie deliverance, you should listen to it.
Most people know Roy as co-host (with Buck Owens) of the TV show "Hee Haw". In addition to being a guitar master, Roy also played the banjo (2 time national champ at 17) and the fiddle. If Heaven has a band, she's a doozie. RIP Roy.
Roy Clark is the greatest stringed instrumentalist EVER. His grew up watching him on Hee Haw. Amazingly mind boggling.
he was mind boggling, and hee haw was mind boggling, and why he had anything to do with hee haw was mind boggling
Your generation ignores Country Music of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Roy Clark was the King.
Thank you for showing folks the magic of Roy Clark!!
Roy Clark was also Cousin Roy on the Beverly Hillbillies. 🤠
I heard Roy play this live in concert once. It was awesome! He said that he always rehearsed 3 full days in advance before performing it.
I saw Roy Clark live at a venue called Melody Fair, in North Tonawanda in the 1970’s. It had a revolving stage and when Roy played “Malagueña” the stage stopped, with Roy facing me for the entire song! I was in my early 20’s and my parents took me. An awesome memory! The Oakridge Boys were the opening act.
I was lucky to see him live in San Francisco on a stage that rotated 360 degrees in about 1978. Amazing is all I can say.
When i was 19 years old, I was in vo-tech, and my dad ran a cleaning business, I worked weekends at the Carlton in Bloomington MN, I remember i had to clean the dressing rooms, and Roy Clark's manager took me in to his dressing room, and told me "That is Roy's fav guitar"! Do not touch it. Later that night i strummed that thing like a mad man! I'm glad i didn't break it. That was in 1985
Roy was amazing, and pretty much just a regular guy. The reason that you don't know about him is because he was "country" in a time where rock n roll was EVERYTHING. Roy never gave up his country roots. My dad knew him, and some of the band members that played with him. I remember him most on "The Porter Wagoner Show" (of course Dolly was the most well known from the show) and " Hee Haw" w/Buck Owens. Thank God my dad turned me on to country music.
i don't remember him from porter wagoner. that's way way back
I loved your reaction, Michael. Roy was an incredible guitarist, even to the end. I'm so sorry that you'd never had the joy of experiencing his music before. I think that the "problem" was that Roy was never much of a self-promoter. He let his music speak for itself. Today there are so many hack musicians who pretend as though they are good but can't even begin to come near to Roy's talent. Roy did what he loved and loved what he did.
I encourage you to dig deeper into Roy's music. While playing some of his best songs you'll see him stick out his tongue as he focuses so deeply on his music. In fact, when you say "look at how focused he is" then you can see it a bit.
He was an INCREDIBLE talent and he never took himself too seriously, he was a gem
Roy Clark WAS known as the GREATEST guitarist of all time! He was beyond phenomenal!
We had the opportunity to watch Roy play weekly on Hee Haw. And he was always doing guest appearances such as this one on The Odd Couple.
My Generation always considered him one of the best. Glen Campbell is another unsung Strummer.
And there was always Chet Atkins.
I remember Hee Haw. My father plays bluegrass, and when I was a kid in the 70s we had one tv in the house. When Hee Haw came on you might as well forget it, that's what we were watching, and if you didn't like it you could go pound sand. It had a lot of cheesy humor and goofy skits but when I was young back then I didn't appreciate a lot of the outstanding musical talent they had on it.
Roy Clark's Malaguena was a favorite in my late teen years. It was the only classical Spanish guitar music I could find in the Navy base exchanges at the time. And it would get great air time on the radios back then.
I grew up listening to Roy Clark. He was a musician of unparalleled genius. If the instrument had strings, he could play it... no, he could make it cry! Roy was most famous for Country and Western music but he could play literally anything and was no slouch with his comedy turns. He and Buck Owens (a country star of the Berkely set) hosted the TV show "Hee Haw" which ran from about 1969 thru the 80's.
These old country guitarists from the 60s and 70s could SHRED. Besides Roy Clark, you have to check out players like Chet Atkins (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) or Jerry Reed (The Claw). Those old country players are absolutely some of the greatest guitarist ever. They could (and did) play anything.
You have just witnessed the GOAT. Roy Could do anything With any string instrument That anyone else can do And do it better however other people cannot do what he can do. GOAT.
Because Roy Clark is mostly known as a country musician, and many people look down on any genre of music that isn't their preferred style.
