Roy Clark - Alabama Jubilee (&) Flop Eared Mule (exclusive bonus) 

Chet Atkins was the world's greatest guitarist Roy was the world's greatest entertainer he was comederdian /guitarist really funny guy 👌👍

@@tonytotten408 agreed

@@tonytotten408 I'll take Clark, Campbell and Gatton over Atkins. But that's about it.

Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Joe Maphis, Roy Clark, Danny Gatton, Roy Acuff... All talented. I'm not as familiar with Acuff's music, I don't think he was as guitar-based, but I enjoyed what I heard of him.

@@tonytotten408 chet atkins was a very clean player as he would play a song perfectly as to how it was written but roy clark would play the living soul of a song and take it to where it never had been seen before. The best example of this is the difference in between the videos of Chet atkins playing Malaguena and when Roy Clark played Malaguena.

There's something about it that actually weirdly reminds me of Zakk Wylde (old comment I know, reddit linked this video recently).

Funny you say that because he was Van Halen’s guitar teacher!

Christopher Taylor True, but I still love Hee Haw. I always have to smile when I watch Roy Clark.

Roy Clarke was a string instrument god! Waaaaay under appreciated!!!

There is only one Roy Clark. Legend has it that he never had a music lesson! Genius. Karl

I"d bet that less than 5 were better than Roy and that less then 5 had as much fun. to some extent beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd bet that 5-10 of the 100 died young because they were some kind of crazy, not Roy

Primarily because RC was country-oriented, the list was rock-oriented.

Yes 🌷🌷

That kid grew up to be John 5

And I don't think there will ever be anybody that can pick like that.

Hello Cheryl how are you doing!!

IIRC, filming a season of Hee Haw was a once a year, week-long gig, then all the performers did other shows and appearances.

I never liked country music either, but my late uncle was a Roy Clark fan so watching his videos reminds me of him. I think it's too bad Roy wasn't a rock guitarist because he's every bit as good as Clapton and Hendrix.

Oh don't you worry none sassy frassy! I'm wearin them white fairy boots! S'all gud!

Hello Rebecca how are you doing!!

Hello Ashley how are you doing!!

I bought the same guitar and mine doesn't do that .

When teen guitarists my age many years ago were paying attention to Eric Clapton and the like, I was watching Roy and Glen because they just have marvelous technique. I went on to have a decent career as a guitarist that I would not have had without learning from these two. Thanks Roy and Glen! And thanks for posting Ray! I couldn't agree more! Sad to hear about Glens health though darn it...

Kevin Doran Eric Clapton couldn't hold a candle to Roy Clark. I grew up listening to Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Buck Trent, and Buck Owens. Thank God my dad liked these musical heroes and exposed me to them. I always get a good feeling and a smile when I watch Roy Clark play. About a year ago I watched a Roy Clark special with Buck Trent and several others. Roy was losing his ability to play for some reason. Maybe arthritis with old age, not sure. Whatever it was it made me feel really bad for him. It was really sad to see him struggling with something he's played a million times and could play with one hand tied down. He will always be amazing to me.

Hello Beautiful how are you doing!!

satchbooggy Yeah, he kinda looked a little dumbfounded when Roy lit up the stage.

Buck Trent, was *particularly* impressed when Roy, in the middle of his solo played the rhythmic noting/comping part starting at 1:04, as well no doubt we all were/are! I feel very bad for Roy as I saw a documentary on him from last year, finding how he is getting on these days, and it showed that he cannot play very well any more, and I could tell he misses being able to play with the dexterity that he shows here, I'm just pleased we all, and he, himself have this to watch in the future. Bless you Roy, a bona fide legend of this, (and many others) instrument.

His name is BUCK TRENT. Worked for Porter Wagoner for years.

He smoked the banjo player because he was a fantastic banjo player himself but he played all that just using a flat pick so thumb and finger .banjo players have an advantage an extra two fingers to inter pluck the strings ...what a fantastic player I wouldn't say he's the best in the world .he's one of thee best and should undoubtably be remembered in the hall of fame he was also a great comedian ..he haw he haw..u could tell in them days they were plugged straight into the recording TVs sound board no reverb and a stick on bugg microphone on the banjo skin the pick up nowadays Is fitted inside the Drum skin how technology moves forward 👌👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🥃
