MUSICIAN REACTS: Roy Clark & Buck Trent Dueling Banjos | REACTION!🎸🎶 

Roy Clark was several times national banjo champion in his youth.. this obviously helped his guitar playing too. Another one that will surprise you is Steve Martin

There's an old clip of him playing guitar, banjo and fiddle in one song. He was an amazing musician and entertainer.

I believe he also played the piano and sax

When I was a kid I think I remember seeing him on Hee Haw playing the mandolin.

@@lappesjl1 I recall that as well...

Hee Haw was awesome, funny humor, good looking ladies, and great music.

Yeah and quite humorous too

I never thought the day would come where we would have to ever explain what "Hee Haw" was. Are we officially "Old" now?

@@avg1712Sorry Gramps but yea we’re Oooooollllddddd.

Remember? "Hurry, Hee Haw's about to come on!" Grab your snacks and drinks cuz you don't want to miss it!

Hard not to respect that. What a cool cat! ❤

I'm pretty sure you're actually referring to a quote asked of Jimi Hendrix. A reporter from Rolling Stone asked him a few months after his famous Star Spangled Banner rendition at Woodstock.

No. He said "I don't know, you should go ask Alex Lifeson"

No one misses him more than me & thanks for your kind words sincerely Ron Clark.

And will never be again. What an amazing musician and known nice man !

I would have loved to see him play with Prince. Just imagine what they could do together!

@@montanacowboy5265 One time my husband, a truck driver , was looking at the rock displays in Quartsite AZ and he met Roy. They talked a bit and he wounld up autographing a twenty my husband had on him. A time later he got in a bind and had to spend it. But the memory of meeting him has lasted over 30 years. My husband said he was one of the most humble person he ever met.

I was with a band for a while and being a teenager I made a comment about rock musicians being better... The band members I was playing with were seasoned professionals and they shut me down quick. They were telling me about country guitar players that could play circles around most rock musicians... basically made me eat my words and I started really playing attention to technique rather then music genre and learned a lot from both rock and country musicians. Now it doesn't matter to me what style I'm playing as long as I'm playing for people to enjoy themselves.

and Singing ‼️ Yeah, he sings pretty good too. 📻🙂

@@jeffking4176 and songwriter, Thank God and Greyhound She's Gone.

If it has strings, it was in Roy Clark's wheelhouse. That guy was absolutely incredible. It makes me happy to see people still keeping his genius alive.

He can find it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yWVGuv_oM8Y.html

I quit listening to music radio because there was nothing new being done, it was just the same ole rock n roll that had been played since 1955. Yes a few new good bands came along, with a few good songs. But nothing that matched those 25 years from 1955 through 1980!!

My thought exactly. I'd put Roy Clark up against any of these no talents today.

You’ll change your mind if you hear Chris Stapleton!

@@starpartyguy5605 Are you 100% sure that none of Chris Stapleton music, studio or live doesn’t go through an autotune before hitting your ears?? You can’t unless you produce every studio recording, and set up all his concert equipment!! Besides, human nature is human nature. Rotary phones are long past gone. Good luck ever finding a pay phone, or a rotary tune tv. You will never know going forward whether an actual person wrote a book, song, movie or tv show script, what with the advent of AI. I had an X-ray of my shoulder a couple weeks ago, and I didn’t see a radiologist, I’ll never know for sure it wasn’t read by AI!! So you can’t say for sure that Chris Stapleton is as talented as you say he is, or just another high tech imitation! Ever hear of Millie vanili? Google them.:)

Yes, because this show was supposed to be silly, something you could watch with your grandparents... but also featured music like this EVERY WEEK.

Another really cool thing about Hee Haw is so many talented and popular artists would come on the show, occasionally a bunch of them would just want to jam on the show. This was called the Million Dollar Band because that's what it would cost in 70s-80s money to book these artists. The members included Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer, Charlie McCoy, Danny Davis, Jethro Burns, Johnny Gimble, and Hee Haw co-host Roy Clark.

@@JeshuaSquirrel Hee Haw was a huge part of my formative years and why I now have such a huge appreciation for music, especially live music.

My grandfather used to call it 'Educational Television'. He watched it every Saturday night. 😁

Hee Haw, corny as hell and I loved it!

"I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You found another and pppft you was gone!"

That one I saw and love.

That's my favorite performance of his!

That’s the other time he saw Roy that he’s referring to. That’s where he saw him play guitar.

I had to go watch the odd couple episode. I had forgotten about it but immediately recognized the scene. A great performance!

I absolutely love the point where Jack and Tony ceased to be actors and simply enjoyed Roy's incredible music.

Sadly, Buck recently passed away.

The Banjo is an African instrument.

@@warrenlewis3977 Not actually.. It’s a true American instrument.

@@chuck2388 Chuck, the Banjo came from Africa. Just Google it. Google the fact that Black people created every major musical genre this country has. I'll give white people Bluegrass or Rockabilly.

I didn't know that Buck played for Porter ! Was this when Dolly was still part of the group ?

Oh my goodness, I just saw that yesterday! Speak of the devil 😂 and you're absolutely right. ☺️

I was thinking the exact same thing. I wouldn’t be afraid to say Roy was easily in the top 5 best stringed instrument players in the world and he made it look so easy. I’m glad he was on HeeHaw or I might not have never known haw great he was

YES "yesterday when I was young" is a must hear. Along with "I never picked Cotton"

I just listened to that song. I turned 52 a week and a half ago and listening I felt that song. Thanks for mentioning it.

For me it was "I never picked Cotton." Both my of parents, in their 80s did pick cotton to give me a better life.

YES!!

Yeah I remember watching Hee Haw too.

He was also on multiple episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies and always played a song either on guitar or fiddle.

Roy Clark and Buck Owens were also a fantastic duo. Just look up clips from Hee Haw, it was so much fun!

If I remember correctly. Eddie Van Halen contacted or tried to get lessons from Roy.

Roy Clark and Chet Atkins were possibly the best

Absolutely. Eddie got some lessons and tips from Roy Clark and Glenn Campbell.

I'm pretty sure some of those guys have actually said Roy Clark, also Glen Campbell, was the greatest guitar player! Ted Nugent said Glen Campbell. But now I can't remember who I recently read named Roy Clark, I think it might have been Eddie Van Halen! 😲😲

I loved some of Jim Stafford’s songs! “Spiders and Snakes”, of course. And “Swamp Witch”. (I think of Hattie as an herbalist/natural medicine practitioner who let the townspeople think she was a witch so they’d leave her alone. Delightfully creepy song!) There were some other good ones too. I don’t remember him having his own show so I guess we never watched it. Either that or my memory ain’t what it used to be.

@@terri2494 yeah it was a great show it only lasted 1 season but I love the show I don't understand why I didn't last longer. he had this ventriloquist doll named Rodney which was just an old hippie behind him but there was also My girl Bill. And Wildwood weed was my favorite 64-year-old hippie here and don't worry my memory isn't the same either rock on sister! PS Don't and don't forget "under the scottishman's kilt"

Couldn't agree more!

@@michaelwduffy , please, PLEASE react to Roy Clark playing & singing the beautiful song "Yesterday When I Was Young"! Hauntingly beautiful lyrics & vocals! Very emotional, not comical! Thank you!

@@michaelwduffy Here he is on the fiddle. Just as much fun to watch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zPmapd7htio.html&ab_channel=UsMarine7

I never met my Great Grandma, she died a little before I was born, but that's what was said about her, that she could play anything that had some strings on it. I would have LOVED to have met her I once asked what instrument she played best and one person said Mandolin, another said Banjo, another said Fiddle and another said Guitar, then my dad said "basically, if it had strings on it, she could play it and play it well." They said she also played auto harp, dulcimer and zither and "was no slouch" on a piano. That's the thing that was so amazing about Roy Clark, he played EVERYTHING REAL well, people like that just super impress me.

I'm truly surprised to find this this deep in the comments...

You should mention Deliverance is not a movie for children or even young teenagers everyone forgets that the movie is really a horrifically ugly movie about Hillbillies who killed in sodomized a guy a very dark movie it just has one banjo playing scene that sounds good I'm not saying it's a bad movie but it's not for everyone especially kids only the music banjo music is good that's all the name Deliverance has nothing to do it doesn't deliver anybody or it isn't religious or spiritual. I just thought I'd better say that

@@kayhansen9229 Good point. But I rather doubt kids today would be shocked by it.

@@julie.1081 well I'm an old liberal hippie and I wouldn't let my children or grandchildren watch it when they were kids. I tried to warn my parents who are dead now that they should not let their adopted grandchild watch it she was 11 or 12 my mother was a nutcase and she said Crystal can watch anything she wants and my mother was actually pushing the movie on the kid. So I told my mother and father and I thought my father would have enough sense to XNA I said there's a scene where one of the guys is sodomized by a hillbilly it's really gross and it's really ugly and I don't think Crystal should watch it my mother deliberately got the movie for the kid and played it for her. Hours later I came into the living room and my parents were sitting in front of the TV watching the end of the movie they were sitting and stunned silence and Crystal was gone and I asked where Crystal was and my father said she got up and left.

@@kayhansen9229 Yikers! At least Crystal had the good sense to leave the room! She must take after you. (Thank goodness!) I agree it's a very adult movie. What I meant about kids today is that it seems there are no adults any more leading kids or teaching them right from wrong. And forget about kids hearing the word NO! And the funny thing is that young parents don't seem to understand how kids actually crave someone to be in control & teach them. I bet you're a great Mom!

@@julie.1081 I wish I had kids but I never married. I took care of them though for a living.

Fantastic talent! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yWVGuv_oM8Y.html

Roy was the best...just a nice, nice man. And he did allow Buck, an exceptional musician himself, to outplay him HERE...but as good as Buck was, even he couldn't touch Roy's brilliant mastery of most stringed instruments.
