Roy Clark put on an absolute masterclass in this video! I knew he was good, but I had no idea he was this amazing of a guitar player!
Spaniards and Flamingo Dancers heels pounding the floor at the applause line. This is a Virtuoso sounds and looks like. A very very complicated song to execute at this level. Thank you for knowing greatness when you see it.
It's Spanish Cave music, he also has videos of him doing it on a 12 string and the big belly Spanish guitar. other guitar players bow to him and Glenn Campbell. This was done in the early 70's, before a live audience in one take. Frame speed was standard 24 per second.
The best comment on this I've ever seen is that "And afterwards the Guitar smoked a cig and slept for 9 hours" lol
🤣😂🤣
Can you imagine the awesomeness of being right there, watching that LIVE? Just watching the video leaves me out of breath.
Whenever I see a forum or magazine where they talk about the greatest of all time, if they don’t mention Roy I literally don’t take it seriously.
Roy Clark is one of the best guitar players in the world. And my book is the best.
Glen Campbell and Jerry Reed were up there too. But Roy was just as good on a banjo and a fiddle as he was on a guitar.
Jack Klugman and Tony Randall both broke character while listening to Roy Clark play.
Playing on the odd couple was LIVE.
In another Live video he does this on a 12 string. Amazing!
Roy on a 12-string was always stunning!
It is said that Jimmy Hendrix once said the best guitar player he ever saw was Roy Clark.
Mr. Clark was the kind of musician that if you handed him a string instrument that he was not familiar with, give him five minutes, and a concert would be produced.
Such a beast! 🔥
I believe I just saw another video on TH-cam where Clark plays this left-handed (on an upside down Gibson electric guitar I think). Then again, 'dominant hand' may not have much meaning for this guy!
My eyeballs hurt from following his wrist.
Right?!?
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. Glen Campbell & Jerry Reed were also underrated guitarists. But these men paved the way for a lot of musicians today.
He’s incredibly talented and seems like a genuine guy! Definitely noticed his sense of humor in the Ghost Riders In The Sky video we did!
For me he was the Greatest all round entertainer - and I am not even a country music fan !
You know Felix’s reaction was genuine as hell.
He held the Guinness World record for fis picking speed from what I have heard. I never verified this. But I have no reason to doubt it. Lol
I had the joy of seeing him in concert. Amazing! He is one of a kind :)
The only down side to watching/listening to Roy is having your guitar look at you funny afterwards.
🤣😂🤣
When i was a kid (70s), I turned my nose up at Roy Clark. (Being force-fed "Hee Haw" by my hated Nan was to blame, no doubt.) With age comes wisdom and a guitar player husband who gleefully showed me the error of my ways. What a talent. RIP Clark. RIP SBZ
The percussive pat is the steps of a Flamenco dancer. For the live one you intend to review I hope it is the one he is wearing a gold shirt. That one is on a 12 string. It is amazing. Even better and will blow your mind at what he does.
I just put that one up and it was the one with the gold shirt! Mind blowing how he pulled that off!
Yes that is a good choice. 😊
He played banjo and violin in this episode.
You cannot say 'Roy is... This or that . the truth is Roy Is!
We saw this kind of stuff from Roy Clark all the time. Check out his appearances on old black & white tv shows. He's so funny & what he can do is amazing. You will be surprised.
So awesome!
Absolutely incredible
I LOVE this song. I did watch it on the show, way back when, but I had grown up with it, before then. You should have heard my mom play it on her violin! Wow! One year she bought us kids each a pair of (differently-toned) castanets, and we really enjoyed playing along with her on this song (plus others). Also, her string bass player would often augment the setting when she played it for town dances. Then the "fancy dancers" would get their workouts. Mom and Dad would dance to it, too, but it had to be when there was a recording (of her version) playing, since nobody else played it as well as she did.
"Malagueña" (the Spanish pronunciation is "malaˈɣeɲa" from Málaga) is a song by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. It was originally the sixth movement of his "Suite Andalucía" (from 1933), to which he added lyrics in Spanish. The song quickly became a popular, jazz, marching band, and drum-and-bugle-corps standard (OH, yeah)!!! There are lyrics in several languages. In general terms, malagueñas are flamenco dance styles from Málaga, in the southeast of Spain (thus Mom's gifts to us).
The melody that forms the BASIS of "Malagueña" wasn't written by Lecuona. The base for it can be heard in 19th-century American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk's solo piano composition "Souvenirs d'Andalousie" (English: Memories of Andalusia). Based on Gottschalk's international fame, it has been assumed that Lecuona heard it and adapted it into his most famous piece. Also, it has been mentioned that, very possibly, the ORIGINAL base for the song was a Spanish folk-song that Gottschalk adapted.
I used to play it on piano or accordion. (You can still buy piano music for it, through ebay.)
When I was 22, I was in a car accident (long story about a two-year-old moose, a slippery road, and a very tall spruce tree with no branches down low, and my car running head-on into said tree) during which my right arm completely broke apart (under the skin) about an inch above my wrist (I highly advise NOT reaching forward to brace yourself on the dash of a car that is headed for a tree!!!). About three weeks after it was set, and my cast was still on (as it would be, for months to come, the damage was so intense), I went to the elementary school (in New Valdez, Alaska) to pick up my sister, for my mom, one afternoon. The coach had set up one of the big Olympic-sized trampolines in the gym. I had learned how to perform on the trampoline during my entire high school "career," and I thought, "Why not?!" So I got up on the tramp, and started showing off, with all sorts of well-remembered and loved twists and turns, flips, and twists...until (sigh) I landed just a BIT wrong, and that casted wrist hit the trampoline HARD (resulting in piercing screams and many tears...sigh).
I had to make a trip to the single physician in town (at least there WAS one, that year...most of the time we had to travel 150 miles to Glenallen, for hospital procedures...even though we DID have a brand new hospital in the new town). Because it was a hard cast, the doc couldn't just quickly take off the cast and reset it, plus it was already in the act of healing, and he didn't want to take any chances of making an error that might make it NOT seal correctly again, or get infected. So...sigh...even though there was a bit of an angle, it DID heal, and I still have that strange-looking arm (I'll post a photo on my site, sometime...it's quite interesting).
I spent most of the next two months in that cast, VERY carefully stretching and exercising the muscles and joints in that wrist, and I CAN reach an octave, on a full-sized keyboard, and I COULD play a full-sized guitar (until the RA set in in the early 2000s), and the accordion was pretty easy, because the harder part of playing IT, is the left hand, so I came out of it pretty well...even still being able to play "Malagueña", plus one of my all-time favorites, "The Birth of the Blues!" (I was air-playing that one, just now, while thinking of it...sigh...I no longer have a piano).
I AM GOING TO HAVE A GUITAR, though...come next Tuesday!!! Because of the crippling of the RA, in my left shoulder, as well as my back and hips, I haven't been able to play a full-size, 38" guitar since way back in 2007. I got to wishing for one, a few days ago, though, and started checking on Amazon, and came up with a decently-priced 30" acoustic "beginner" guitar, that I think will work for me. I've had my new trumpet for nearly two years, now, and was doing pretty well with it until "the crud" came along, here to the family, in late December 2022, and I stopped playing again. I'm starting to get back into that, too, and my highest soprano notes are almost all back into my singing voice! I am HUGELY happy to get back a lot of what I had lost during the RA years. Now, if I just had at least a small accordion...I still can't move my left shoulder very far (though way better than back in 2007, thank God). I think an accordion would be really good for working some of those problems out. Maybe someday.
Sorry to be so wordy...when I hear this type of music being played by Roy Clark (and others like him), I get REALLY nostalgic (can you tell...sigh?).
THANKS FOR THE GREAT REACTION, COREY!!! What a blessing! I'm extremely glad you liked it!!! 😀
Thanks so much Linda and I’m glad nostalgia kicked in! I love it when a certain song or video brings back memories! And you’re getting a guitar!!! Let’s gooooo! That’s awesome! So glad your health is on the mend and I hope you have a great day! Talk to you soon!
Flamenco! With the dancers keeping up with the rapid pace and then the graceful extensions during the slower breaks is amazing!!! Roy Clark was phenomenal. Many links on TH-cam of guitar and dancer FYI
Sweet! I bet it’s awesome together!
this version is live as live can be.
All I can say is wow
First, if you haven't already, you need to familiarize yourself with Foldom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. When his best friend Roy Clark asked him if he could do a comedy version of it, Johnny gave him an enthusiastic YES! My favorite version of Roy's performance is from the Jimmy Dean Show in 1963. Just be careful to remember to close your mouth back up after your jaw drops.
Also Roy had a commercial success with Thank God and Greyhound. Go in blind for it.
Thanks for the suggestions! I am familiar with that Johnny Cash tune!
many rockers in that day sought him out! Also Glenn Cambell!
I get a kick out of watching various reactions to this recording.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I will frame this for younger guitar lovers. Eddi Van Halen had Eruption and Roy Clark had Malagueña .
You called it something different but his palm muting solo is second to none.This guy is the guy I wish I knew to have as a hero when I started playing guitar. Black metal and thrash way before they existed.
No doubt! Such a killer player indeed! Thanks for watching! 🔥
Roy Clark was a multi-instrumentalist.
Pretty much everybody knew who Roy Clark was then. Lol
The others were
Glen Campbell
And of course Chet Atkins watch him do dizzy fingers.
Awesome!
Odd couple like many others of the era was performed live in front of a studio audience
Thank for doing this - I was one of those who requested this. I think on the live version he uses a 12 string
No problem, glad you enjoyed it. This on a 12 string? that sounds crazy!
Great reactions! Listen to this one by Roy Clark, Roy Clark - 12th Street Rag. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Have a great day!
Thanks for the suggestions and appreciate you hanging out! Have a great one!
If it had strings Roy could crush it much like David Lindley.
It seems that way! Dude is unreal! Thanks for watching! 😁
Give a listen to Tommy Emmanuel’s interpretation of Classical Gas. He stays true to the melody but adds so much more.
Hey there! I actually reacted to that on the channel already. Go to our homepage and you can find it under the playlist ‘All About Guitars.’ It was absolutely phenomenal!
This is god mode.
Indeed!
The frame rate is 29.3. It was filmed for 4:3 480p TV
The wide neckties scream 1970's.
Hahaha 🤣😂 No doubt!
It's a known song. Charo played it too. (Flamenco?)
That amazing thump on the guitar is a flamenco technique, and it is called "Golpe". It's fairly common usage in flamenco, and here's a lovely little explanation for the technique: th-cam.com/video/e-j05DhzUR4/w-d-xo.html
Oh, and I just found a nice example of golpeando, courtesy of Carlos Montoya: th-cam.com/video/NVBL7DtU3Cs/w-d-xo.html
Also, just for future: in Spanish, when "g" is followed by "u" and then "e", the "u" is silent and a sign that the "g" should be hard. So the pronunciation here ought to be th-cam.com/video/eLapcfXHrBE/w-d-xo.html
This Malagueña, as noted below, was composed by Ernesto Lecuona; it was inspired by Gottschalk's Souvenirs d'Andalousie. A malagueña is a style of flamenco. The root of its name is the Andalucian city of Málaga.
Just for fun, some other Malagueñas:

Some info on Paco de Lucia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paco_de_Luc%C3%ADa
th-cam.com/video/COc1ljZEb-M/w-d-xo.html
(Pepe Romero, still with us at age 80, was born in Malaga. making him a Malagueño. Here's some info on him, if you like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_Romero)
I believe this was recorded in 1969.
I heard somewhere in my youth that Roy's guitar in this segment was hand-made in Mexico by Senor Martinez himself and shipped to Nashville for him in a climate controlled truck.
1969
Roy Clark was certainly the fastest, but I don't know anyone who's ears are fast enough to keep up.
I prefer Bill Haley & his Comets version, it's waaaay more entertaining, & you won't be confused by what you're supposed to be hearing.
When asked who they thought was the best guitarist, both Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen said Roy Clark.
I would not want to be in a knife fight with Roy, he would carve me to mince meat in a milli-second 🔪
🤣😂🤣 💯
@@setonhillstudios seriously though, I watched a clip of great country musicians filmed at the Grand Ol Opera,they were all sitting in a semi-circle playing and Roy was sitting with them ao aged and could barely play his guitar...I actually had a tear for him as it was so sad to see such a great guitarist come to that moment in life. Thank Youi for posting this GEM
If you think that's something you should see Chad Atkins sweet picking in the late 50s and 60s. No, the metal guys did not invent Chet.Atkins is the earliest that i've seen sweet picking
Lol.. just realized that my voice recognition on my phone stinks.. that's supposed to be "Chet Atkins sweep picking".. check out Jerry's breakdown with Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed it's only a couple of minutes but it's really good
He does this live on a 12 string
That’s hard to imagine, but if anybody can do it he can!
This is definitely the one. The other one is just very colorful and distracts from the talent if it's the one ove seen. A bunch of psychedelic lights and crap.
Want fast strumming? Check out Joe Bonamassa and Tina Goa at Carnegie Hall doing Woke up this morning!
Sweet, thanks for that suggestion!
It’s actually Woke up Dreaming. My bad
@@setonhillstudios it’s actually woke up dreaming. My bad
You don't know malaguena and you are reviewing guitarists? That's rich..
You only know what you know! Impossible to have heard of everything, there’s so much music out there ✌🏼
Settle down little troll - this is a great channel
@@setonhillstudios Some people 🙄
@gmr9912 -- ...and that's really RUDE!
I have seen more than one TH-cam guitar teacher start this video with their guitar in their lap. Afterwards they just simply set their guitar to the side instead. LOL. Not throwing shade at them. They simply have the stunned reaction too. :)
“Malagueña” was a song by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. It was originally the sixth movement of Lecuona's Suite Andalucía (1933).
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it!
So, now you need to look for a video of him doing The 12th Street Rag, and you'll get to see him play like a demon while clowning and mugging for the crowd and camera. He was an incredible entertainer. It's even older and black & white, but the sound is pretty decent in spite of it.
That sounds awesome! Definitely have to search that one out!
You'll also see sweep picking long before people seem to think it was invented.
Yeah that is one of my favorite videos I have seen on TH-cam.
Check out him doing Folsom Prison Blues. Great reaction to the the greatest
You have probably heard this 1 million times, but I read that Eddie Van Halen was asked what it was like to be the best guitar player in the world, and he said I have no idea you need to ask Roy Clark.
I've heard this BS quote with every two guitar players I've ever heard of. After the first hundred times or so it gets old.
Yeah sure. He and Jimi Hendrix 😂
@@jeffrey1312DITTO TO THAT JEFFERY!
Eddie did acknowledge Brian May as a fave, check' th-cam.com/video/ndziVSb_2xQ/w-d-xo.html 'and tell me if it is 1974 de ja vu
What Roy is doing is Classical (Spanish) Guitar, . . . that has been done since the 15th century.
The Malaguena is a Flamenco, or Fandango dating from the early 19th century.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks, Seton - this is so awesome... Roy could play just about any stringed instrument, as you noted... and he was so humble and generous with his performances... I really appreciate your reaction!
Thanks so much for the kind words! He truly is unbelievable and so much fun to watch!
Now you've seen him play guitar. You've seen him play banjo. Now check out Roy playing "Orange Blossom Special" on the fiddle. And this WAS a live performance. The "Odd Couple" was filmed before a live, studio audience.
Awesome! Appreciate the suggestion. I guess there’s nothing he can’t play?! 🔥
Roy Clark? Absolute Master of any instrument with strings!! Electric, Acoustic, Steel guitar, banjo, fiddle? Grew up watching him perform, and very very few come close to his amazing Personality and Ability
There is a video, I believe it's in black n white of Roy playing a medley using different string instruments, pretty impressive. And if you haven't yet, check out the video of Roy and Johnny Cash "folsom prison blues"
It literally sounds like at least 2-3 guitars playing at once! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Eddie Van Halen was asked what it's like to be the best guitar player in the world, and he said, "I don't know, you need to ask Roy Clark"!
Wild!
I have heard this exchange attributed to so many people regarding so many others, with varying instruments or vocals. It may have happened, but I tend to think that it is a stock reply to deflect a silly question.
People gotta stop this nonsense of repeating every silly thing they hear or read. According to jimi hendrix Terry Kath (RIP) of Chicago is the greatest. According to Eddie van Halen blah blah blah is the greatest. Etc. Etc. Etc.
How about yesterday when I was young by Roy Clark
Appreciate the suggestion! Have a great day! 😄
YES, PLEASE! 😀
One of his more vocal songs. And very heart touching. Great choice.
It was written by a Cuban. Early 1980's.
It’s a tragedy no one ever recorded his playing on a high speed camera
You should also check out Tommy Emmanuel (classical gas)
Tony Randall falling back onto the couch at the end was his natural reaction to experiencing that performance.
Used to watch him on Hee Haw with my grandmother. He was awesome. He could shred and he was funny. Real showmanship.
watch him slay a fiddle sometime too
This mans right hand technique is Django level
Watch Roy play Orange Blossom special with Jimmy Henley on HeeHaw.
Flamenco guitar
that's when you really see someone that's _lived_ the instruments instead of just spending a lot of time playing. when he told stories about how he grew up and what he learned to play on it really translates into how talented he became.
Great point! Such a legend and an incredible musician! 🔥
Surprised you don't know of Malaguena. All good guitar players know of it. Top of the list of great guitar compositions and the test for the best. 100% sure Marcin knows and he's a kid.
So you're saying he's not a good guitar player bc he doesn't know this song? That's pretty tough.
Great video Corey!! Roy Clark is a BEAST!! Another fantastic acoustic guitar player is Tommy Emmanuel. Check out his cover of "Classical Gas!!"
Thanks so much! I’ve actually got a video of that one up on the channel, you can find it in the All About Guitars playlist! It blew me away, he’s so incredibly talented!
We saw Roy and Buck Trent in Raleigh NC at the state fair in the 70s!
So cool! Thanks for sharing! 😁
He is the man! Such an amazing player!
Watch some episodes of HeeHaw to see how much fun he was too. His twinkling eyes and roguish grin. 🎶 ❤
He was all round one of the greatest Entertainers of all time
His first instrument was the fiddle.
It was the guitar. My grandpa taught him. He was my uncle
At that time, television was filmed at 24 frames per second. For the camera to not track the entire strum, each stroke is faster than 1/48th of a second.
Just saw your reaction to Roy Clark. Just to let you know he also plays the fiddle. Watch Orange Blossem Special. He does things on the fiddle that are insane.
You could find an old log in the forest and put strings on it, and Roy would make it sing like the finest instrument in the world. He was that good.
🤣😂🤣 Seems like it!
This is good, just a little short
Gonna be doing another video checking out a live version of this one as well! Can’t be upset about more of this, I’m looking forward to it!
A tour de force of guitar techniques and his mastery of them...
A little note: "The Odd Couple" was taped in front of a live audience, so, in essence, this is also a live performance.
That's the way its done with Spanish Classical Guitar Music - Flamenco. It features extremely fast picking. If Roy were a Flamenco guitarist, he wouldn't be even close to the best. The fact that he is competent at it, as well as Country, Rock, Jazz, Blues, etc. and plays so many stringed instruments so well is what makes him so great.
I don't really think of that as Flamenco. It is a Flamenco piece but he does it his own way. It is so different from someone like John Williams that I don't think of it as the same genre.
This is a Cuban song written by a famous Cuban composer.
Out of all the recorded versions of him doing this piece, this is my favorite.
You need to check out some Glenn Campbell. He was just as good if not better.
Oh sweet! A few others have requested him too! Can’t wait to check him out!
He's definitely guitar God material.🎸
Wait till you see him play this on a 12 string
I loved your first reaction to the percussive bit. It made me laugh out loud (literally!). BUt I also loved your analysis of it, pointing out that it wouldn't be as spectacular without the added percussion (in between) on the instrument and strings themselves. And your comment: "He really is a master" - yes.
Glad it gave you a laugh! 😁 He is such an amazing player and I can’t wait to hear more! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, that last technique, now jump forward 30 years to Les Claypool on Tommy the Cat.
You should check out the couple Rodrigo y Gabriela, what she can do with percussion on the guitar is amazing.
That sounds awesome, I’ll have to add it to the list!
This was from 1975
No pick used
He performed that live in front of a studio audience in 1975.
When he was on the Muppet Show, he played Rocky Top, on fiddle, guitar, banjo and mandolin. Great reaction
I bet that was incredible! Thanks for hanging with us and checking out the video!
I loved The Muppet Show. The two old guys were my fav, (after Kermit, of course), And all these years later I realize I liked them bc I knew I would become one of them years later. I'm getting closer every day! LOL
@@snakeinthegrass7443 🤣😂 We are all getting there sooner or later!
YES!!! That was SUCH fun! 😀
@@snakeinthegrass7443 Cute! 😀
