Eddie Van Halen was once asked "what does it feel like to be the greatest guitarist of all time?" His response, "I don't know, go ask Roy Clark." That is the type of respect the guitar greats had for Roy.
Eddie said the same thing about Alex Lifeson.
Here is my version. So there is at least some truth in what you say.
There is an Urban Legend about Roy Clark. Don't know if it is true, choose for yourself.
At some point in their life Both Jimi Hedrix and Eddie Van Halen were asked what it is like to be the best guitar player. They said "I don't know go ask ROY CLARK".
I know a guy who was in California in the 80's in a Heavy Metal Band. I asked him.
He said everybody in the music industry knew Roy Clark was amazing.
I think his talent in crossing styles from jazz, bluegrass, country, rock, and classical is what really sets him apart
I always heard that Eddie asked Roy to give him some guitar lessons.
Hendrix said exact same thing
Roy Clark was a musical GENUS! You have to watch other of his performances! And it's not just guitar, if it had strings he could and did play it.
Yes!!! Please do a reaction to him and Glenn Campbell together!! You will be amazed and entertained!!
banjo
Truth!
Roy Clark was underrated.
Comedy genius as well as the best guitarist ever.
When watching a classic Roy Clark performance it is very easy to miss how incredibly good he was at just playing the guitar, because he was so entertaining in other ways. I dare say that almost no one achieved the same level of communication, while playing, as Roy Clark did. Then you add in how amazing he was with basically anything with strings on it and you have to concede he was one of the best pickers ever.
Alot of the country music people from that era didn't get the recognition. Many of them can't read a note of music, never had real lessons, they just did it. Applause!
Not just guitar; he played banjo, fiddle, mandolin...if it had strings, I believe Roy could play it!
It's amazing how he could get combined humor and the guitar like that
Roy was a brilliant musician who often didn't get enough credit for his monster skills because he loved horsing around and being goofy. He spent years as a cast member of the country music comedy show Hee-Haw, which was a weekly staple in my home when I was little.
Yeah, but I am sure he got his fair share of the Hee-Haw revenue.
@@Bacopa68 Oh, I think he LOVED doing that show. I just think he didn't often get a chance to show off his musical brilliance there.
@@Bacopa68 ... Well deserved fair share. Unlike many others his ego never exceeded his massive talent.
@@vandergrad I think Roy played second fiddle in the pecking order to Buck Owens who was talented in his own right, but couldn't hold a candle to Roy instrumentally. I was young when it happened but didn't the Buck Owens show morph into Hee Haw? Hence, Buck having top billing. All that said, no conversation or list of, or about the greatest guitarists ever is complete without mentioning Roy Clark.
@@Bacopa68 you would be suprised how little he got paid from hee haw..he did it more b/c he enjoyed the company of his fellow cast members..he used to sit on our front porch and play music live when i was a little kid ...him and the rest of the family would have jam sessions about twice a month at my grandparents house
Roy Clark could make me cry with his music and turn around and be rolling on the floor with laughter! He was a master!
I feel bad for you that you didn't experience Roy Clark through the years including his years as co-host of the TV show Hee-Haw. An incredible Comedian and musician. RIP
Roy Clark was the KING of anything with strings!
Roy Clark was one of the finest entertainers ever. The number of instruments he MASTERED was incredible. When he added some comedy to his songs and routines, it made it that more amazing to watch. I grew up watching Country legends like him.
Watching Roy Clark on the Odd Couple TV show is insane. World Class.
You can even see when Tony Randall, and Jack Clugman quit acting, and are just at awe.
📻🙂
Great episode!
@@jeffking4176 , if I remember correctly, I believe The Odd Couple was performed in front of a live audience, as were many sit-coms back in the day. If so, the audience members were probably as mesmerized as Clugman and Randall! I think the applause was real, instead of canned.
Roy Clark was a master of his trade, but because he added so much humor, he was never as serious as he should have been. One of the all time great performers.
Roy Clark was amazing. He could play the guitar,banjo,fiddle(violin) with such ease. Talented? What an understatement!! He was such a nice man. His personality was just who he was!! R.I.P. MR. CLARK!
If it had strings, Roy could play it. We in Virginia are very proud of our fellow Virginian.
I'm a rock and roll fan whent I watched he has it was to see Roy Clark saw him in Branson best there ever was
When I watched hehaw it was to see Roy Clark the best there ever was
He also played the Musical instrument called a citar as well as a dobro, Slide guitar..etc.......... He could have played a soap box if you could put a string on it
@@randycarroll2885 as cousin Roy said back in the early 80's ..if it has strings i'll give it a whirl..he played everything to the same calibur...he was a special kind of unique
He is "a Pickin and a Grinnin". Roy and Buck Owens were the hosts of Hee Haw for like a million years. Roy is a premier guitar player in the vain of Jerry Reed (smokey and the bandit truck driver) and Chet Atkins (Mr. guitar).
Johnny Cash, Roy Clark and many famous people played at this prison. Thank you for showing the video. First time seeing it and I love it.
Glad you are doing more of Roy Clark. Nice to see a younger person appreciating the talent. I remember watching him as a young girl. Roy 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. So many today don't even know who these great artists were.
Oh absolutely it’s clear he paved the way for all the performers today…even though they wouldn’t be able to do what he can in a million years 😂😂
@@michaelwduffy Sidenote, Glen Campbell was also a member of the early Beach Boys. He's another one.. any style of music, and also considered a top guitarist.
Glenn Campbell was a top-notch guitar player! Watch him and Roy Clark play Ghost Riders In The Sky! Awesome talent! ❤❤
Roy Clark also does all those sound effects plus more AND is an unmatched musician on the fiddle!
Check his Orange Blossom Special. Or check his many guest starring bits on The Odd Couple with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall! Early 1970's. You'll never forget it!
Roy Clark was just playing around when he did this…..incredible performer
Roy Clark was a GENIUS. He could play anything with strings and he DID. His most impressive number is Malaguena. AMAZING. He was one of a kind. I miss him.
malaguena!!!!!!
MALAGUENA !!!!!! Roy is a MASTER!!!
Roy Clark could play any stringed instrument. He's one of the best ever. He could play😮 any kind of music
Here is what really blows my mind, he kept perfect time on the guitar while tapping his feet out of time. Try clapping a beat while tapping your foot out of time and see how it goes.
He is the greatest guitar player this earth has ever seen. This was early in his career. He never sought out the limelight. He always used comedy in his shows.
Don't discount Tommy Emmanuel from Australia. He is incredible. Glenn Campbell was also super!
Roy Clark is an amazing artist. Some of his other songs:
"12th Street Rag"
"Malaguena"
"Thank God, and Greyhound"
"Duelin' Banjos"
There is also a duet of Roy and Johnny singing Folsom Prison Blues from the 1980s. Amazing talent with lots of respect of his peers. Thanks for a fun reaction.
His version of "Great Pretender" is hilarious as well- it's a good showcase of his singing. :D
@@clarkb1900 I've not seen that one, I'll have to check it out.
As a 67-year-old woman who grew up with a father who loved country music, I have loved Roy Clark for decades. He had such a wonderful personality, and his music was just added bonus.
Malaguena is a must by roy Clark his right hand is special
The greatest! Only Roy Clark....
Grew up with Roy, thanks to the TV show "Hee Haw", and had the great pleasure of seeing him live with my folks at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA, near where I grew up. He loved performing and was skilled in multiple instruments. If y'all get a chance, and have 20 minutes to spare, consider looking up his greatest hits on the channel 'When The Cowboy Sings'. Don't have 20 minutes? Skip to about the 12 minute mark to see/hear him on guitar, banjo and fiddle. I love you, Roy!
Roy Clark is the ultimate musical performer. He plays songs of vastly different styles, and on different instruments, always very well!
Roy Clark is in my top ten guitarist. He is not just a guitarist, but if it has strings he could play it. Member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, check out him doing Dueling Banjos with Buck Trent or him and Johnny Cash doing Orange Blossom Special.
Roy Clark is not just great, he's AMAZING; what he can do to the guitar is insane.....check out "Malagueña"
My father use to play that, not an easy song 🎶🎵 love how Mr Clark played it.
He is amazing on maleguena and classical gas too.
Roy Clark was one of the indisputable guitar gods.
That put a smile on my face. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing Michael.
Thanks so much al!! 🙏
He knows the words, he’s just imitating Johnny Cash’s voice and intonations. He’s talented at mimicry as well as guitar playing. ❤️
Thank you!! I haven't seen this since I was a kid!!
I can't even suggest what Roy Clark song to look at or listen to. Just go to TH-cam and do a search for Roy Clark. No matter what you pick you will see an extremely talented instrumentalist. He can plan ANYTHING with strings, and play it very very well. On top of that he's funny, and he can sing.
Roy Clark is one of the best guitar/banjo players. Have you seen or heard Dueling Banjos? It was in the movie Deliverance but by someone else. Roy Clark plays it fantastically. ✌
No I’ve never seen dueling banjos but I’ve heard a few people comment that!! Will have to check out that movie and video soon tho!!! Thanks Cynthia !!! 😃
@@michaelwduffy The song is a classic and the movie is rather shocking, but worth checking out. Stars John Voight, Burt Reynolds, and Ned Beatty
@@lefty3141591 Burt Reynolds in the finest acting role he ever did.
I remember watching the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson back in the 70's and Roy was on as a guest. johnny said it was difficult to believe any one person could have that much talent.
Roy Clark did such a great Johnny Cash impersonation like with this song. I don't know if you caught it, but he sang their probably smoking whiskey and drinking big cigars lol, the actual lyric is their probably drinking whiskey and smoking big cigars. He was a master at stringed instruments.
He was notorious for "yanking y'alls chain".
RIP RC
ROy Clark could play anything, like Classical Gas and that is a spectacular piece all musicians should know with the guitar.
Roy Clark is possibly one of the greatest guitarists of all time, respected across genres.
For you to ask who the heck Roy Clark is, is just astounding!
My parents said the whole house was shaken' while the 3-year-old me was listening to this from my crib and every time they would come up to check on me, I would crash down to pretend to be sleeping, LOL. I didn't know it then, but Roy Clark was one of my childhood heroes. Ken Curtis, AKA Fetus, was my other hero! I met both of them and many more country legends at our local county fair over the years! Thanks for the memories!
Roy Clark was the best.
WATCH MORE ROY CLARKE, you won't be disappointed 😊
I've heard many talented musicians playing guitar. I appreciate them all. There's a special admiration i hold for Roy Clark. Everything I've watched on TH-cam about him going back to his younger days pre-HeeHaw still leaves me 100 percent amazed and entertained. Check out his Orange Blossom Special with little Jimmy Henley. You'll see him in a special light.
I had the pleasure of meeting him decades ago. He was so genuine, truly a delightful man to be around😊
Roy Clark cracks me up
He was from Virginia but grew up all over as his dad ,also a musician,looked for work in The Great Depression.He performed with all sorts of people,even was around The Beatles for one concert.
He would've been good to see live. Makes you wanna smile all the time.
Roy Clark’s guitar performances are legendary. One I remember from the old Odd Couple TV show when he played Malaguena.
It's fun to watch people learn what us old timers knew abt Roy all along. :-)
Roy Clark was and remains a legend. Also an intelligent and respectful man. He wanted to enjoy himself so comedy was always included in his performances. His ego never exceeded his amazing talents.
he was my grandfathers favorite person on YeeHaw gosh i miss those days
Hi it’s nice that you show stuff from way back in time thanks
Of course lovin this dude so far!!! 😃
@@michaelwduffy I recently started watching your videos I love all of them keep up the good work
He played better than anyone else, his finger dexterity was phenomenal, but he didn't act like he was that great.
Roy Clark is the Liberace of the Guitar.
The great Roy Clark. There is no one better.
Roy entertaining was an art form in and of itself. His technique when he just played without the comedy was mesmerizing; jaws dropped open, eyes grew wide, and minds wondered at the virtuosity they had just witnessed. You saw it, you heard it, but you still can’t believe it.
Roy was having fun and joking around the whole time.
I'm not a country lover, but I could watch and listen to Roy Clark all night long.
There will NEVER be another Roy Clark. I was a strict rock and roller from the 60’s on, but I would always tune into anything that had Roy on it!
Roy also played violin. He was amazing.
Roy was the best.
Dude could play ridiculous number of instruments. He was accomplished on guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, piano, trumpet, trombone, drums and harmonica. I’m sure there more.
Roy Clark was AWESOME!
he was awesome as hell
Roy taught me alot. And, I'm a metal player.
Roy Clark ..is the greatest
He was on the television show. Hee Haw for years.
He is/was the best ever...
It is so nice to watch the younger people experience this type of music for the first time and appreciate it
I'm loving your videos of Roy Clark! He is absolutely the best in the world!
There is an Urban Legend about Roy Clark. Don't know if it is true, choose for yourself.
At some point in their life Both Jimi Hedrix and Eddie Van Halen were asked what it is like to be the best guitar player. They said "I don't know go ask ROY CLARK".
I know a guy who was in California in the 80's in a Heavy Metal Band. I asked him.
He said everybody in the music industry knew Roy Clark was amazing.
He was a regular on "Hee Haw", an extremely popular, country-themed comedy show.
I think everyone misses the point with Roy Clark, first and fore most he was an ENTERTAINER, and his phenomenal musicianship and use of humor grew out of his love for making people enjoy themselves, no matter how they may have felt BEFORE he started, they couldn't help but feel better by the time he finished. As for another song to listen to, check out not just Malaquena, but the version he did on "The Odd Couple", as I have seen several versions by him from different shows and everyone is a little different depending on what the show was for, and this one was for pure entertainment as the stars became totally enthralled by his playing,
You ain’t seen nothing yet!!!!! Do Roy playing Malagueña live - think flamingo Spanish dancing!!!!! It will just blow you away!!!! Any instrument with strings Roy was a master at!!!! Hell at 13 $& 14 years of age he won the National banjo 🪕 championship competition against all comers of all ages!!!!! The man never met a string instrument that he wasn’t the best at!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🤣🪕🪕🪕🪕
He plays other instruments too. There are more recent versions he did. Yes, check him out. He’s even performed it with the original artist, Johnny Cash. What a legend Roy Clark.
roy was as great a comedian as he was a guitarist. a legend.
Roy Clark was one of the Best guitar Player in the world .
Malaguena will blow you away.
In the 70's, Roy Clark was a part of the ensemble cast of a country variety show called Hee Haw! It was cancelled very quickly but became the first syndicated TV show that was brought back totally because of viewer mail insisting that the show be put back on the airwaves! It continued for several seasons afterwards and was very successful. Each week, there was a musical guest featured on the show and everyone who was anyone in the country music pantheon at the time eventually appeared on Hee Haw! Roy Clark was seen each week on the show as he co-hosted with Buck Owens, another successful country star at the time. Episodes of Hee Haw are available on TH-cam.
Roy Clark's voice is pretty darn good, too!
I grew up watching him on the Grand old opera
Their is a live version of Jonny Cash and Roy Clark singing Folsom Prision Blues together ! You should play that ! Roy gets Jonny smiling and laughing !
they are still trying to catch up to Roy Clark. What ever you hear he did it first even now. Jimmy Henderson was asked how does it feel to be the greatest guitar player in the world and he answered,"I don't know ask Roy Clark." A few others of great fame had the same answer.
I graduated from high school in 1964. He is a real entertainer extraordinaire! He sounds so much like Johnny Cash who was my country boy husband loved his music. He bought every Johnny Cash album there was.
That son, Is TALENT!
Wow. I have always loved Roy Clark.
Pure genius 👍
IMHO, anyone playing any instrument - and who truly LOVES their instrument - should spend a lot of quality time experimenting with it.. Roy is a great example of this!! Don't let the repetitious learning curve inhibit the child in you.
If there ever was a master of the guitar, it was Roy Clark. Guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, . . . .
Roy Clark was so good that he could look like he was messing up while being right on point.
ROY is the man.
Roy Clark was the greatest Stringed instrumentalist every. He could play any guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, all with such ease and grace.
😄 I SAW HIM AS A KID ON TV AND Roy Clark IS AND WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS
I'm telling ya. I don't know why this guy is so fuc**ing underrated
Roy and Jerry Reed together are incredible together also
He was one of the greatest of all time.
You need to watch and listen to Roy Clark doing Under The Double Eagle.
You really want to be wowed by his guitar swing check out him playing Malaguena. Unbelievable
