Clive Carroll plays John Renbourn classics with analysis 

Clive is simply the finest acoustic guitarist alive today.

Wow what a sound. The voice separation is amazing, crystal clear, piano-like. You have such a beautiful touch.

Stunning.

This is great, superb playing.

Superb playing from Clive as usual. I would wholeheartedly recommend his 2-CD tribute to John Renbourn which is called The Abbot. It's absolutely brilliant and what a wonderful sound from that Ralph Bown guitar.

Saw Clive and Dariush last night. Incredible performance. He's a truly amazing talent. I would love to get some insight into his practice schedule, I'll pick his brains at some point. Highly highly recommend you see this tour if you can. I've been a massive Renbourn fan for many years as you can see from the type of content I've recorded on RU-vid, but a lot of the material played by Clive came across as fresh material. I think John would be very pleased with it. (I think Ralph Bown was sat a seat away from me)

I Love Clive's Playing and his beautiful renditions of John's tunes. He is truly a master - I have also continally wondered aghast at the way, seemingly uniquely, that John Renbourn played these tunes. He could glide notes In a way that I've never heard anybody else do and would often hum along with the playing as if he were a part of the music, completely lost in and commited to the delivery. His playing was sublime and I miss him even though I never met him. RIP John. Your legacy is in safe hands.

Clive's new CD regarding the Renbourn project is fantastic - very well recorded and excellent choice of material and very well put together. To be honest much better than I was expecting. Well worth a listen,

What a treat! I enjoyed hearing all those stories about John Renbourn as I have been a fan of Johns work for decades. Clive's interpretations of John's songs are deep and his execution is flawless. I can think of no better guitar player alive today to record Renbourn's wonderful compositions.

Clive is just a fantastic guitarist. His new Renbourn project is very exciting. But as for the title of this video, maybe "with analysis" should be deleted. I enjoyed all the conversation about guitars but I was expecting/hoping for some tips on how to play the pieces.

Arise, Sir Clivealot! Fantastic playing and interview

I’ve been playing for sixty years, and actually once spent a day with JR in his home studio: I know of no other living guitarist with Clive’s talent, touch and phenomenal ability. His timing in particular is to-die-for, and his sheer musicality is far removed from the purely mechanical ‘being-able-to-play-the-right-notes-in-the-right-order’ that most of us strive for and are satisfied with. IMHO he’s actually *better* than JR (probably blasphemy, but sincerely meant).

Lovely. Makes me feel like I play with a fist of thumbs.

The cd is wonderful. Many of us are hoping to hear more of the thousands of pages of music Renbourn wrote and never performed.

Superb! I was fortunate enough to see John Renbourn in 2012, I think it was, in Bury. Amazing night.

Beautiful playing simply perfectionism.🤩👍

What beautiful playing! I first heard Estampie on Gryphon's debut album in the early seventies and found Clive's performance of it totally captivating. That Bown sounds exquisite as well 😊

Cool! Can you do Tears in Heaven?

Great playing Clive as always. You’ve introduced me to Johns music and there’s a lot to be enjoyed, thanks for that. Your concert two nights ago at New Milton was a pleasure, catch you next year somewhere I’m sure

Yeah but can he play Smoke on the Water eh??

Clive is brilliant.

Such terrific talent & super nice person. I took some classes from Clive at Swannanoa Gathering. Great talent/super guy!

Amazing intuitive player. I was fortunate enough to see Clive supporting Tommy Emmanuel in Salisbury some years ago. Stunning!

Love Clive's playing, you always end up learning something from just watching and listening to him play. A real master musician.

Omg. What did he do at 12.10??!!!!!! Htf do you make that sound?

One of the best ! Playing and composing !

Masterful 👍🏻

I just simply loves the way he plays and breaks down the pieces he plays ❤ I would love to hear Clive and Tommy Emmanuel collaborate. That would be awesome 🎉
