Somebody once asked Jimmy Hendriks how it felt to be the best guitar player in the world and he replied I wouldn't know you will have to ask Roy Clark.
@@catherineday951yeah I’ve heard it with Terry Cath and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Which is funny because I don’t think SRV was playing guitar when Hendrix was alive.
Roy Clark was most famous as a Country and Western artist. From the Grand Ole Opry to Hee Haw. He was also, obviously, up for classical Spanish guitar. I do not believe that a human dancer could keep time with him.
Roy Clark could play any stringed instrument. Guitar and banjo were his favorites. He did sing and quite well. He was self taught and couldn't read music. He and Buck Owens were the hosts of a television show named Hee Haw for more than two decades. He was amazing.
Roy Clark was a genius and could play anything with strings. He was winning contests when he was a teenager. I think his fingers could approach the speed of light at times.
I'll never forget the joy on my dad's face when we watched Roy Clark perform at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar in June 1964, only $1 a ticket. He was so astonishingly talented and such a hoot!✨
Roy Clark was a master with the six string as well as the 12 string. He was a master of the fiddle and the bandjo. He loved to make people laugh. He was a pretty good singer as well.
Member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and hosted a country music variety show called Hee Haw for about 20 years. If it had strings Roy Clark could play it. Mountain Dew is an old country music song, usually played on banjo. Great reaction
Not only was he an incredible musician, he was also a comedian, and genuinely one of the humblest, nicest men who ever walked out onto a stage. You absolutely MUST check out his other videos, especially this one : Glen Campbell & Roy Clark Play "Ghost Riders in the Sky" or this one : Roy Clark "Ghost Riders in the Sky" ~ smoking hot in Branson 1990s
There’s a female guitarist named Charo, from Europe, I believe, who’s very well known where she lives. She plays Malagueña in a traditional way that differs from Roy’s. She’s also known as a comedienne here in the U.S. She’s well worth listening to
That was great! I remember watching this on "The Odd Couple" show. 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.
This was back in the early 70s. Roy Clark was a phenomenal musician. He was on HeeHaw so some might not have realized just what he could do, but the answer was always, yes, he could and brilliantly . Also back when comedy shows had live studio audiences. Absolutely, beautiful!
Roy Clarke can do it all, plays any stringed instrument, sings and does comedy. Because he was largely in the Country Western genre his talents weren’t recognized as they should have been, although he was famous world wide.
A great country legend. That's why you never heard of him. We have many you need to discover. Along with Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, Buck Trent, Jimmy Henley Wendy Holcome & so many others.
Roy Clark had a great singing voice, Yesterday When I Was Young was probably his biggest hit. You should react to his dueling banjos video, if it had strings he could play it and play it amazingly well.
Yes, that's right A.B. THAT is ROY CLARK. He's a master of stringed instruments. Check him out with Buck Trent in a duet "Dueling Banjo's". Roy Clark ( fiddle) with Jimmy Henley...." Orange Blossom Express" Roy with Glenn Campbell. "Ghost Riders On The Sky". Roy singing..." Yesterday When I Was Young". I fell in love with Roy when I was a teen watching him on the Country tv show called Hee Haw. Not only can Roy play several b instruments and sing s little, he's also a funny guy. Watch him do his version of Johnny Cash' song, "Folsom Prison Blues". Videos for all of these.
Love Roy Clark. He was most famous as a country musician and comedian from the show Hee Haw. That part of the song you loved - the fast part with the beat… You should check out Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Mexican guitar duo who are amazing. Rock guitar influenced by Spanish flamenco & using the guitar for both melody & percussion. They became famous for a cover of Stairway to Heaven, but their original stuff - Diablo Rojo, Tacuman, etc. They also did music for one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Roy sings. For his singing, my favorite is "Thank God and Greyhound". Another that blends guitar skill and singing with some comedy, check out his cover of Folsom Prison Blues. The black and white video from the 60s is the best and the duet with him and Johnny Cash is a close second. He has to be seen live to really appreciate what he is capable of.
The Odd Couple was a regular part of my family's weekly viewing and I remember seeing this episode as a young boy. As everything in the world was still new I didn't really appreciate the skill that was on display. As an adult... damn.
Roy Clark could play any instrument with strings. But, also another good guitar player that you can react to is Glenn Campbell playing "The William Tell Overture."
Roy and Glen Campbell's duet, Ghost Riders in the Sky. Individually or doing a duet together, you can't miss with either one of them. Please do Glen's Gentle on my Mind or Roy's Yesterday When I was Young.
As someone who grew up watching reruns of heehaw with my parents and grandparents, I love when people discover Roy because he is so amazing! Definitely go down the Roy Clark rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed. This one is a great place to start th-cam.com/video/v_kbgjsuCec/w-d-xo.html
Country players are SO next level, just KILLERS. Eddie Van Halen begged Alice Cooper to get Glenn campbell To give him a guitar lesson PS, Roy should have been arrested for murdering that Martin
Somebody once asked Jimmy Hendriks how it felt to be the best guitar player in the world and he replied I wouldn't know you will have to ask Roy Clark.
EVH said the SAME THING !!! HIGH praise ...
You have just witnessed, arguably, the FINEST player of stringed instruments EVER !!!
I kid you NOT !!!
And not to mention that he wasn't ONLY a guitar player, but played a total of six instruments with equal mastery. He was an incredible musician.
But did he really? Someone uses this...with various names in each role...for pretty much every video of a musician
@@catherineday951yeah I’ve heard it with Terry Cath and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Which is funny because I don’t think SRV was playing guitar when Hendrix was alive.
Big rabbit hole. He can sing, do comedy, and plays almost anything with strings. Check out more videos.
Roy Clark was most famous as a Country and Western artist. From the Grand Ole Opry to Hee Haw.
He was also, obviously, up for classical Spanish guitar. I do not believe that a human dancer could keep time with him.
Yes it's a show, but that's a genuine reaction from thise actors on set
Singer, comedian, actor and killer of anything with strings!
He could do that level of skill with a guitar, banjo, mandolin, & fiddle. Pretty much, if it had strings, he was the GOAT.

Not much you can say other than the true GOAT
Roy Clark was a master with the six string as well as the 12 string. He was a master of the fiddle and the bandjo. He loved to make people laugh. He was a pretty good singer as well.
Your facial expressions were priceless. You looked like you you wanted to go through the screen and watch it live. ❤😂
He was a master of all things with strings. You need to watch Dueling Banjos
I might be a rockin’ roller at heart but could listen to Roy all day long … the master
I’m grateful that I got to see him perform and meet him at his theater in Branson. He was genius!

He was a LEGEND. A musician's musician.
Dedicate yourself to the craft. Perfect your art. Become so good even legends whisper your name.
Few people can do this. Roy did.

He has a beautiful singing voice too. "Yesterday when i was young"is so pretty.
One of the greatest guitarists of all time. Can also sing
ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AWESOME!!!!
A great country legend. That's why you never heard of him. We have many you need to discover. Along with Roy Clark,
Glen Campbell,
Jerry Reed,
Chet Atkins,
Buck Trent,
Jimmy Henley
Wendy Holcome & so many others.
This is a tune for Spanish Flemenco dancing. The beating on the guitar represents the heels of the dancers.
The stamina required!
Nothing to add to the comments! We love Roy!!! ❤️
Roy Clark had a great singing voice, Yesterday When I Was Young was probably his biggest hit. You should react to his dueling banjos video, if it had strings he could play it and play it amazingly well.
Actors Tony Randal and Jack Klugman are memorized.
Yes, that's right A.B. THAT is ROY CLARK. He's a master of stringed instruments. Check him out with Buck Trent in a duet "Dueling Banjo's". Roy Clark ( fiddle) with Jimmy Henley...." Orange Blossom Express"
Roy with Glenn Campbell. "Ghost Riders On The Sky". Roy singing..." Yesterday When I Was Young". I fell in love with Roy when I was a teen watching him on the Country tv show called Hee Haw. Not only can Roy play several b instruments and sing s little, he's also a funny guy. Watch him do his version of Johnny Cash' song, "Folsom Prison Blues". Videos for all of these.
You need to check out what is probably his signature song, "Yesterday, When I was Young".
Roy is now with the Lord. If it has strings, Roy mastered it.
Roy is/was the real GOAT
To many people ignored Roy because he's Country. He Co-Hosted Hee Haw with Buck Owens.
I love it when you are speechless!!! That’s talent!!
You must react to Roy Clark's Yesterday When I Was Young absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️
The guitar wizard Roy Clark 🎸🎶
Roy can play anything with strings and blow you away. Ghost Riders in the Sky is a good one.
Roy can play any stringed instrument, sing like a bird, and is a hilarious comedian.
Love Roy Clark. He was most famous as a country musician and comedian from the show Hee Haw.
That part of the song you loved - the fast part with the beat… You should check out Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Mexican guitar duo who are amazing. Rock guitar influenced by Spanish flamenco & using the guitar for both melody & percussion.

He sings old country western and he's funny.
One of the best in the world
AB’s face during this reaction: 😳
You missed it. He's got 8 invisible hands.
I can't imagine doing that without a pick.
Roy sings. For his singing, my favorite is "Thank God and Greyhound". Another that blends guitar skill and singing with some comedy, check out his cover of Folsom Prison Blues. The black and white video from the 60s is the best and the duet with him and Johnny Cash is a close second. He has to be seen live to really appreciate what he is capable of.
Your face said it all........
The Odd Couple was a regular part of my family's weekly viewing and I remember seeing this episode as a young boy. As everything in the world was still new I didn't really appreciate the skill that was on display. As an adult... damn.
Ain't that wild.
Roy Clark could play any instrument with strings. But, also another good guitar player that you can react to is Glenn Campbell playing "The William Tell Overture."
He also played banjo, violin and mandolin.
I watched him play at our at our fair and fair and rodeo Street at Eagle County, Colorado, in 1983.
🔥🔥🔥 and yes, he can sing! Please react to his "Yesterday When I Was Young". Life lessons.
Roy and Glen Campbell's duet, Ghost Riders in the Sky. Individually or doing a duet together, you can't miss with either one of them. Please do Glen's Gentle on my Mind or Roy's Yesterday When I was Young.
As someone who grew up watching reruns of heehaw with my parents and grandparents, I love when people discover Roy because he is so amazing! Definitely go down the Roy Clark rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed. This one is a great place to start th-cam.com/video/v_kbgjsuCec/w-d-xo.html
Jimi Hendrix was once asked. What's it like to be the greatest guitar player on earth? And he said, "I don't know, go, ask Roy Clark." True story
Roy was using a pick to play. He could sing also. A good one to react to is Yesterday When I Was Young.
LOL pork chop sideburns!! I spit coffee out!
Lol. Porkchop sideburns were quite the big thing in the 70s
Saw the man live
Mountain Dew is a soda, or as we call it here in Canada, pop. : )
❤
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎
Roy Clark. Now has AB seen Glen Campbell. And Glen & Roy together.
You should check out Charo. Ranked number one in the world ❤❤❤❤!!
Try his song ‘I Never Picked Cotton’, vocal, or ‘Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone’. vocal
Country players are SO next level, just KILLERS. Eddie Van Halen begged Alice Cooper to get Glenn campbell To give him a guitar lesson PS, Roy should have been arrested for murdering that Martin
Watch 12th street rag. He's one of the greatest guitarists ever. He also plays banjo and mandolin.
And the fiddle too.
Pretty much the star of Hee Haw, a country music show that was a parody of country music shows.
You really have to follow old school country classics like Hee Haw to know about Roy Clark and Buck Owens
Hee haw
👍🏾
check out Dueling Banjos.
Your face 😮😂
When he's strumming very fast, he's using a pick. Not his fingernails.
His guitar needs a cigarette after that.
Facts!!
Please react to Paco de Lucia Entre dos Aguas
Rodrigo and Gabriela for more of the same
as good or better than SRV along with Glen Campbell, Chet Akins
Your videos are always so engaging
