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!
The only down side to watching/listening to Roy is having your guitar look at you funny afterwards.
🤣😂🤣
Playing on the odd couple was LIVE.
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.
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! 🔥
Absolutely incredible
Jack Klugman and Tony Randall both broke character while listening to Roy Clark play.
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.
“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!
In another Live video he does this on a 12 string. Amazing!
Roy on a 12-string was always stunning!
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! 🔥
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?! 🔥
this version is live as live can be.
many rockers in that day sought him out! Also Glenn Cambell!
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!
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! 😀
He played banjo and violin in this episode.
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 !
Check out him doing Folsom Prison Blues. Great reaction to the the greatest
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
My eyeballs hurt from following his wrist.
Right?!?
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 UA-cam of guitar and dancer FYI
Sweet! I bet it’s awesome together!
We saw Roy and Buck Trent in Raleigh NC at the state fair in the 70s!
So cool! Thanks for sharing! 😁
I will frame this for younger guitar lovers. Eddi Van Halen had Eruption and Roy Clark had Malagueña .
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
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!
That E string took a beating and was stretched and going flat at the end, Roy Beast 😎
Haha 🤣 No doubt! It is lucky it survived!
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!
I get a kick out of watching various reactions to this recording.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, that last technique, now jump forward 30 years to Les Claypool on Tommy the Cat.
Flamenco guitar
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
It's a known song. Charo played it too. (Flamenco?)
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!
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!
How about yesterday when I was young by Roy Clark
Appreciate the suggestion! Have a great day! 😄
YES, PLEASE! 😀
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!
This is god mode.
Indeed!
The wide neckties scream 1970's.
Hahaha 🤣😂 No doubt!
I love classic guitar, especially Spanish classic guitar.
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.
If it had strings Roy could crush it much like David Lindley.
It seems that way! Dude is unreal! Thanks for watching! 😁
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!
And he played this classical piece on steel strings with a pick.
That’s wild! Such a beast! 🔥
The best comment on this I've ever seen is that "And afterwards the Guitar smoked a cig and slept for 9 hours" lol
🤣😂🤣
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
He does this live on a 12 string
That’s hard to imagine, but if anybody can do it he can!
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.🎸
This was from 1975
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.
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!
