Roy Clark, one of the most talent musicians ever... That dude could play stringed instruments like they were part of his body...
What you talkin' 'bout!!!... that ol' boy could tune & play a pot of cooked spaghetti.
What's really sad is the younger generations who never knew the man's gifted talent. Watched him on Hew Haw, along with Buck Owens, every Sunday night when I was growing up...
Saw him live in 1980, and he played over 20 different instruments in that show. Fantastic.
@@unclegare9778 Don't sweat it. Every generation has great talents that eventually pass away that the younger generation will never know about (unless they watch these RUclips videos!) Let's just hope that the younger generations continue to produce talented people, and not just let themselves rot from the inside out.
Could not agree with you more!
This guy was one of the most talented musicians ever. I don’t think he ever did get half of the credit he deserves. Buck Owens was great also, but Roy Clark was head and shoulders above most performers of his time.
And the other thing is he obviously had a great sense of humor. Ironically, I really never knew how funny he really was until I saw him outside of Hee Haw.
Jerry Reeves was a great contemporary. Both were truly gifted, comical and highly underrated.
A CLASSIC!!!!
When he was in his early teens, Roy Clark, along with his dad, used to attend the almost weekly Saturday night parties at my grandparent's home in Oxon Hill, Maryland (his dad and my grandfather worked together at the Washington Navy Yard). There was always lots of good food (prepared by my grandmother) and country music, and by all accounts, Roy was a somewhat shy but very talented musician even then.
Wow!
@@oldsalt7534 I agree … "wow"
Wow wow wow wow.... wow! I'm taking it that you weren't around yet... any old movies or photos?
I've probably been around a lot longer than you have. @@michaeltaylor2270
I was from the Eastern shore of Maryland to. My Dad knew him. Wish I could remember more. To many years ago
Incredible talent that he made to appear effortless like a kid being naughty. It reminds me of Dean Martin.
Man, have you ever heard him play classical music? Actually, every style of music he can play. But I saw him playing a really complicated classical guitar piece like it wasn't anything.
Stomping your foot out of time while playing in time is very hard to do. Roy was a string master.
💯% pure talent! One of the most underrated guitarist throughout the history of music.
@@joshuawrightproductionsI remember him playing the most beautiful classical guitar piece when I was lucky to see him at his Theater in Branson Missouri.
I "had" to watch hee haw when I was young with my parents. I look back at those times and thank God I had them with my parents and people like Roy Clark
I "had" to, also. Difference, is; thank Parents i did not/do not have to go to Church and/or be a member of the Cult of Christianity.
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 Enjoy Hell, but you won't.
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 So instead you joined the cult of Atheism.
Don't forget Buck Owens!
@1982nsu Buck was the man. I'm a huge dwight fan, so I've gone back and listened to buck and now really appreciate it
The single most underrated guitar player in history. Possibly the best ever. And I'm not even a big fan. But greatness cannot be denied.
You dam skippy
Roy Clark was many things, but never underrated. He was everywhere in the '60s and '70s and had his own 1,500 seat theater in Branson Missouri during the '80s.
A master musical showman. 🎼
No matter how many times I watch Roy play this it’s almost like watching it for the first time. He’s a class act! It’s one thing to be a master on guitar but then his timing, humor, stage presence and singing makes for a complete package!!!
One of THE most respected and beloved Musicians in the US if not the World. Even the heaviest of Rockers show respect and admiration for him.
The most underrated musician ever!
He was marvelous!
underrated by who exactly ? you mean his millions of fans?
Here in Tulsa, we were fortunate to have Roy around town for many years. Roy was a class act in real life....not just in front of the cameras.
Can't say for sure but I bet Cash laughed the hardest of anyone
Most likely. Cash does a sharp impression of Elvis in a RUclips video.
I never knew how cool Roy Clark was
I grew up watching him on "Hee-Haw". He was one of the best guitarists in the world and pretty amazing on the banjo and fiddle too. So much talent. Rest in peace, Roy. Cheers from America.
Story goes, a reporter once asked a British rocker what it felt like to be the world's greatest guitarist. Rocker reportedly said, "I don't know. Go ask Roy Clark."
Later edit: Apparently this is another urban legend. See Snopes for an article about Eric Clapton and Prince.
Nope, the actual story here is that a reporter asked Eric Clapton what it felt like being the world's greatest guitarist. Clapton looked annoyed and said, 'I don't know, ask Prince.'
Love Roy Clark but gotta keep the mythologies straight.
@@TheAcidbath Thanks; I heard it the other way.
Yet Prince ain’t in Roy’s stratosphere
@@TheAcidbath Just took a look at Snopes; it says there was never such a quote. Supposedly a similar story also exists about Hendrix and another guitarist.
@@josepherhardt164 Well how about that, the internet was wrong...who would have thunk it? Thanks for the correction.
I used to think he was just "that guy from Hee Haw." Then I grew up. I put away childish things, including the notion that if a guy's on Hee Haw he can't also be an incredibly talented performer. I swear, there are very few people that can hold a candle to Roy Clark.
😂 Smoking whiskey and drinkin' big cigars. ❤
Roy Clark was never given enough credit and praise for his guitar playing. He was one of the top guitarist in America.
All these years later I see what Roy could do. He was much more than what I saw on Hee Haw.
I learned to play the guitar because of him, when I was 11 or 12 he came out with a book you could put stickers on the frets and learn chords, I’m 61 and still love playing my guitar
They called him “Superpicker” for good reason. His comedic approach of the shy, nervous character in those days took a ton of guts to pull off on TV as he must’ve known some people wouldn’t even realize that it was a shtick. Seeing it now it was really hilarious and ahead of its time. That audience was way too subdued given what he was doing. Great stuff.
Totally agree!
Indeed, the city slickers were fooled!
I remember watching hee-haw as a kid. I'm not a country music fan, per se, but i always loved Roy Clark! Played with such ease. He was always having fun performing, and it was infectious!❤
Roy clark ,an instrumental virtuoso,hidden behind his humor and the niche of C&W music of the early days of TV. He was funny and had the musical chops to back it up.
Roy is simply 1 of the greatest ever.
I wonder if we genuinely realized it back in the day.
MAN,that Roy Clark was one of the best EVER !!!!!😂 Very fun to listen to and watch .
One of the best guitarists in all time! I always admired Roy Clark. When learning to to play guitar I would watch him for hours trying to figure how how he played.
With his thumb on top.... and with a microphone and his foot. It's as simple as that.
Loved Roy Clark, immensely talented musician but was also a top notch comedian - his facial expressions always made me smile!
Got to see him live at the Nugget in Sparks. Yes, Roy was his great self but the whole group with him made it a fine show.
More than a showman this guy was one of the best guitarists ever very very talented man
Ol' Roy, he could show you a thing or two.
Perhaps one of the most underrated Guitarists there ever was.
A really nice guy too.
I was lucky to meet him back stage once.
Most admirable multi talented Musician and Gentlemen who impressed me in so many ways while catching his show in Branson Missouri. He played many instruments, all forms of music and exuded love, joy and togetherness. May he RIP and his life and memory be a continued blessing to all. 💜
He was amazing !!! So skilled. I watched him furiously play a very difficult piece on a 12 string acoustic guitar. Strings were breaking but it never sounded like he missed a note!!! He was funny too❤ I MISS HIM AND HIS MUSIC
Roy Clark was a hugely talented man with a good sense of humor.
Such a wonderful entertainer. RIP
What a goofball! I loved watching him on TV when I was a kid. I have a new appreciation for his musical talent today, but he still cracks me up!😂
Pure Genius .
Talented doesn't begin to describe him.
Pure class act! Musical and comedic talents were one of a kind! RIP, Roy, thank you for bringing such joy to the world!
A very very distinguished voice and what a guitar player. RIP Roy!
Roy Clark, master guitarist.🎸🎸🎸
Roy was quite the character and musician 👍
Roy Clark invented heavy metal , what tha 🤘🏼
Definitely the first to use the mic stand as a slide!
It’s sweet to see he was on Jimmy Dean’s show since, years before, Dean fired him! Clark constantly showed up late for band practice, and Dean felt that no matter how great a talent, Clark should not think he could waste the other band members’ time by being late.
I saw Roy in concert & looked to see who was playing with him, none. His 2 string was beyond belief.
Roy was know for his clowning around and fantastic guitar picking, but when Roy got serious he could also sing: listen to ‘Yesterday When I Was Young’!
Stevie Ray and Roy Clark -- the double Greatest of All Time.
Saw him live at the Clark AFB airmen's club in the Philippines back during the Vietnam thing. What a great entertainer and a master guitarist.
There have been very few moments in life that bring this kind of joy. Whenever I'm down, I pull this out and laugh my ass off.
Saw Mr. Clark at a county fair one time. Consummate performer. Miss his humor and generosity.
He was 1 of the top guitarist/ any string instrument he played. Yes, better than most top rock ones if not the best.
Total musical genius
He’s having so much fun with that song, that’s what playing a guitar is all about…playing. Just playing around with the strings, having fun with it.
The incomparable Roy Clark. Love him!
Woah! Loved him since I was a baby! Raised on Roy Clark.
Love to watch him play guitar. He was a solid entertainer. So gifted.
Always enjoyed Roy's performances. He always made them uniquely his. He always had a great sense of humor and made playing any stringed instrument look easy.
I didn't know he was so talented. Enjoyed 😉 this.
Pre-Hendrix guitar antics in country music style!! I love it.😂
Whenever people try a poll of the "Greatest Of All Time" for guitar players, I make the point that there's no one "GOAT". But there's an elite group of guitarists who are just so much better than anyone else. Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Andrés Segovia are just a few in this group. Roy Clark's in there too.
Never saw this. Very funny. Thanks for sharing, appreciate it 👍
There are so many musicians I remember growing up in the 1960's and 70's I took for granted perhaps because I was just a kid and thats what kids do. But when I look at these old video clips I now realize how exceptionally talented they were.
Just awesome 👍
Greatest guitarist.
Used to watch Roy Clark on Hee Haw. Such a talented man. Great comedic timing. Very cool to see him perform before his time on that show.
What an incredible guitar player. 🎸 upstanding human being off the stage.
I actually laughed out loud. I remember seeing this when I was a kid. It's funnier to me now, for some reason, than it was back then. I loved Mr. Roy Clark. Thanks.😊
Roy Clark was an amazingly talented man. I miss all the greates that have passed on. The new generation of entertainers can't hold a candle to them. R.I.P Roy and thank you.
💯
If it had strings, Roy was a virtuoso on it.
Don't remember what show he did it on, Hee Haw, Johnny Cash, something along those lines, but Roy absolutely shredded "White Lightning"!!!
I would love to see that clip again.
Roy Clark was a quest on Johnny cash , hillbillies, and co star with Nick Owens on hee ha I even think he was on the ed Sullivan show.
@@user-tc3xn1hs6j - Buck Owens.
@@user-tc3xn1hs6j*Buck Owens
@@user-tc3xn1hs6j also guest on The Smothers Brothers.
Clark’s dueling banjos was brilliant
I'll bet Johnny Cash LOVED this!!!
Clark and Cash actually did this rendition together a few times!
Very nicely done, hope to see Roy on the other side of eternity 👍 Maranatha, Greetings from Tampa Florida 😎
Roy was a very underrated guitar player.He could jam!
A master musician doing a comedy routine that Tim Conway wishes he'd thought of. Good stuff.
Now I'm picturing Tim Conway doing the vocals along with Roy's comedic guitar playing. That would have been an instant classic.
A TRUE ENTERTAINER.....R.I.P. BUDDY
Such a great talent, RIP Roy..
RIP Roy. Thank you for entertaining us.
Roy Clark hee haw the man that can play music on anything!
*_Rest In Peace Roy_*
*_Job Well Done, Sir_*
Great voice
Awesome country singer and instrumentAl. love him on hee ha .
As a kid i use to sit in the basement with my raggedy ann record player and listen to Roy for hours.
Never seen this before and it was funny. He was really young. That guy was one legit musician!
My dad just loved him.
One of the greatest ever to play any stringed instrument. As amazing he is on the guitar I think his fiddle playing might have been even better. Virtuoso with whatever he held
As a kid I loved his talent. Just made you feel so good. Thx. R.I.P.‼️
Brilliant entertainer . I loved watching him as a kid, one of the best guitarists and all around musician of the era ☮️
I've watched him all my life since the live days of Louisiana Hayride, and never saw this.
Wow.
He's done a lot of great stuff.
I love this one! You can see just how talented this guy was. I sure miss him, he was one of the greats!
I saw him play the violin he was incredible at that too
Roy Clark is a phenomenal guitar 🎸 player ‼️👍
First time I've seen this - HILARIOUS!!
That man was great with a guitar. Enjoyed on hee haw fir many years
Roy was one of the most accomplished of performers. A similar bit is Jerry Van Dyke, on the Dick Van Dyke show.
He does a good Johnny Cash!
You have to love Roy Clark
What an amazing performer and musician.
And the nicest man I’ve ever met. I was front desk clerk at hotel he and the boys stayed at for the Missouri State Fair. Charming, kind, talented, and funny. 💖💐🙏
I saw him in Branson when he was at least age 70, fronting what was basically a rockabilly band. The dude still had it. Very rarely shows up on any "best of" list. Criminal. One of the greatest American performers of any genre. But, if you're reading this - you probably know that.
