Beside the fact that Clarence had an fantastic technique: Clarence was blessed with an outstanding ability of time management. It looks like that he could "strech" time. That is a very special kind of sense of time. Sure, we musicans call this phrasing but what Clarence did is far out of just hard learning to keep time (even when playing) - he is (and never was forced) to "count". It is an absolutely intuitive thing and just part of his mind. If we listen carefully we can hear also the perfection of each tone even in very fast licks. His playing with time is (at least for me) is THAT thing what makes his playing so beautiful and creative. Not very much musicans are able to put so much alternations in his performances - especially in that kind of music which consists or more "simple" tunes (Note: from a music-harmonic perspective). Clarence is one the most Important musicans to me personally and my own playing. I spent years of studying just these handfull of Tunes to understand what even himself could not articulate - He just did it :)
Clarence was a genius ! no doubt about that ... but don't forget that Doc was one too ... and Doc somehow paved the way ... As Clarence could hardly walk (I'm two months older than Clarence ) Doc was about 22 Years old ... already a fine guitar player ! So we can assume that Clarence had heard of Doc ...and had heard Doc play on records : they met in '63 I believe ,and played together a while at Newport Folk Festival ,if my memory is right ..... Of course there's a third genius : Tony Rice ... knowing that Tony profited from the way paved by Doc and Clarence .... Today it's easier ... they all ( Sutton, Minor, Tuttle, Strings, etc. can drive on big motorways paved by the elder ......
What a fantastic treat! Thanks for sharing this. I do have to wonder if there's video of this? The narrator did reference the "camera" getting a close up of Clarence. Thanks!
The DVD/Streaming of "Clarence White Guitar Workshop" has not been re-released as yet by the company that purchased the rights. What is currently being offered on amazon is the original Sierra DVD release which has been out of print for a few years. The price on amazon is ridiculous so wait for the official new re-release.
As a journalist who interviews people for a living, I get the impression that Clarence was a guitar player's dream, but an interviewer's nightmare. :-D
A buddy of mine that lives in Columbia MO. was for a long time the rep for that particular model. If you where looking for one I could see if he's still doing it. It's been almost 2yrs since I spoke to him about that (I talked to him this spring but that didn't come up) but he's been at it awhile.
Yes... Roland White released an AMAZING book of Clarence's techniques and more. Including the video on DVD of this "workshop" with Bob Baxter in 1973. I believe the audio here was copied directly from that DVD. The info on that book, and more, is included in my other post here.
I respectfully suggest you guys are missing the point. It's good natured ribbing, a play on Clarence White's reputation for not talking much or smiling much. This was also kind of a a "running gag" at Byrds shows.
It's as if the guy doing the interview is interviewing himself. Clarence might have gotten in a few minutes of answers. He won't shut up. Sorry, Clarence.
One of he greatest EVER. Just imagine? This is very close to the end. I got to see him 3x thank the forces that be.
Saw him twice with The Byrds....astounding....
Amazing guitarist. His stint in the Byrds changed my life.
Appalachian Swing is my #1 vinyl in my collection. Amazing to remember that they were kids when it was recorded.
RIP Clarence you blow my mind....great wpoprk with the Byrds too...
You have shared some great beautiful music your channel. Thank you.
Thank you very much for posting. This is great recording. 最初の質問で笑ってしまったけど。素晴らしい録音ですね。

watch Clarence White's the best video recordings,although left hand technique is not shown much but still you can pick up a little
Man Clarence was the best...influenced more people than Hendrix or Page.
Would love to see a video of this.

This is awesome, can't someone find the video? Please. This would be so valuable to other flat-pickers.
See my post here with details on Clarence's video in a book published by Roland. Also a new CD.
Bob Baxter published a book to go with the TV series

check out the clarence white model guitar by collings if you can find or afford it

Geeze, Clarence just wont shut up. Lmao. Just kidding. He was incredible.

does the film exist of this show?
Pity when they better gone to young
I always felt that Bob Baxter was so disrespectful to Clarence White in this interview...
He is certainly not a very good interviewer. So obnoxious.
I respectfully suggest you guys are missing the point. It's good natured ribbing, a play on Clarence White's reputation for not talking much or smiling much. This was also kind of a a "running gag" at Byrds shows.
Does Clarence sing any lead here?
His version of 'Truck Stop Girl' is sooo good
Clarence is amazing. Bob is obnoxious.
Great picker. Not much of a talker though.
It's as if the guy doing the interview is interviewing himself. Clarence might have gotten in a few minutes of answers. He won't shut up. Sorry, Clarence.
