    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.

    At that time, television was filmed at 24 frames per second. For the camera to not track the entire strum, each stroke is faster than 1/48th of a second.

    Roy Clark and Glen Campbell invented shredding. They just did it using clean tones, without any distortion to hide any mistakes behind. They were about as close as you will ever find to perfection, on a guitar.

    It's Spanish Cave music, he also has videos of him doing it on a 12 string and the big belly Spanish guitar. other guitar players bow to him and Glenn Campbell. This was done in the early 70's, before a live audience in one take. Frame speed was standard 24 per second.

    Flamenco is Spanish guitar, Southern Spain from the 18th century. Malagueña was written in 1933, adapted to suit flamenco style dance.

    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.

    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'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.

    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.

    @GrandmasGotGraceLW 5 місяців тому +4

    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!!! 😀

    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.

    • @patwilson2546
      @patwilson2546 4 місяці тому

    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.

    Also, just for future: in Spanish, when "g" is followed by "u" and then "e", the "u" is silent and a sign that the "g" should be hard. So the pronunciation here ought to be ua-cam.com/video/eLapcfXHrBE/v-deo.html
    This Malagueña, as noted below, was composed by Ernesto Lecuona; it was inspired by Gottschalk's Souvenirs d'Andalousie. A malagueña is a style of flamenco. The root of its name is the Andalucian city of Málaga.
    Just for fun, some other Malagueñas:

    (Pepe Romero, still with us at age 80, was born in Malaga. making him a Malagueño. Here's some info on him, if you like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_Romero)

    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.

    That amazing thump on the guitar is a flamenco technique, and it is called "Golpe". It's fairly common usage in flamenco, and here's a lovely little explanation for the technique: ua-cam.com/video/e-j05DhzUR4/v-deo.html
    Oh, and I just found a nice example of golpeando, courtesy of Carlos Montoya: ua-cam.com/video/NVBL7DtU3Cs/v-deo.html
