With modern technology you can see that he is playing faster than the T.V. Cameras can record. His strum hand is just a blur. The Odd Couple video is my favourite version of this.
Roy is also a very good vocalist. You need to check out "Yesterday When I Was Young", "Thank God and Grayhound" and "Right or Left at Oak Street ". Thanks so much for today's pick and reaction.
Back in the 1960s and 70s I was a radio disk jockey in Albuquerque. Roy was on the bill for one of country road shows my station sponsored. I was there when he played "Malaguena" live onstate with the flu and a 102 degree temperature. Sweating like a stevedore, he played it FLAWLESSLY. Wonderfully nice guy and a towering talent!
Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona wrote Malagueña in 1933. It originally part of a larger piece (Suite Andalucía). He based it on a solo piano piece by Louis Gottschalk called "Souvenirs d'Andalousie" ("Memories of Andalucia"). You can find lots of classical guitar performances of Malagueña on UA-cam. One good version is by Pepe Romero. There are also lots of versions of "Souvenirs d'Andalousie."
@@stevearmstrong1430 me too. For a while I thought I must be the only one suggesting Roy, as it has taken them months to get to him. From the ‘millions’ of comments clearly I was not alone!
Saw Clark at a state fair in mid-1970s when I was a kid. What a talent. ....."Yesterday, When I Was Young" and "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone" are my faves of his vocal songs.He was also a co-host with Buck Owens of the TV show "Hee-Haw," a rural theme variety show.
This music is not just a guitar player but he is playing a song that was inspired by the flamenco and Spanish composers who highlighted the great music traditions of classical Spain. This is a composition that only an expert could ever come close to trying. Roy Clark was a country music star in his day and appeared regularly on the 70s tv show Hee Haw. He made the beautiful song Yesterday When I Was Young. For the fiddle check out Orange Blossom Special. Also check out Ghost Riders in the Sky.
I loved watching your reactions to this. You both went from peaceful grooving, to intense listening as the music became more intricate and complex. Roy did that to people with his jaw-dropping performances. If you want some more virtuoso guitar playing, find the video with Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins playing together. They are also superior guitarists from 2 different genres (rock and country) that show off their immense skills together. It’s a blessing to watch masters in performance.
Roy is an absolute legend. First saw him on Hee Haw. His duets with Johnny Cash, and dueling banjo's is fantastic. He is a character and an absolute legend. This song and the gentle use of harmonic notes is amazing.
Roy Clark was an immensely talented musician and funny as all get out. A true master of a lot of stringed instruments. His talent was incredible!! He was my Dad's favorite musician and my Dad turned me on to Roy and his talents. I am always and forever will be in awe of his talents.
Roy Clark was a true artist on many instruments! When it's just Roy and a guitar and there is just so much music coming out, it's incredible! The version on acoustic guitar on The Odd Couple shows his hands really well. The version on the 12-string guitar is great, too. Really, most anything with Roy Clark is good.
Roy Clark was a genius on many instruments. He was hilariously funny. He could sing like an angel. He was on Hee Haw. My mom and I watched it every week. So many great memories. Definitely check out more from him. Well worth your time.
He could do it all. I'm 66 years old and loved all the, 60's and 70's, rock and roll but Roy Clark was the most amazing guitarist I ever saw. Believe me, all the artists at that time knew how good he was. He was the, Terry Cath, of country music.
I don't know if you have seen the video of Roy Clark and Buck Trent doing "Dueling Banjos," but if not, you would love it. Amazing skills and very funny as well.
roy clark did a fantastic version of dueling banjos. he was a regular on the country show hee haw. incredibly talented. anything with strings he could play.
Roy master on these instruments, he also sang and he was on a comedy tv variety show called “Hee haw” He always seemed so sweet!! He also made appearances on other comedy shows.
The song you just reacted to was also featured on an episode of the odd couple. In that episode he played this on an acoustic guitar and I personally think it sounded even better, if you can imagine it being better. Roy Clark was an all round entertainer. He could play any string instrument, he could sing, and he was a good comedian. He co hosted a TV show in the 70’s called Hee Haw. It was a comedy country music show. On that platform you could marvel at his musical side as well as his goofy comical side. He was a truly gifted performer.
Roy Clark was the co-host, along with fellow country singer Buck Owens, of a comedy variety show called Hee Haw for years. I was just a little kid when it was on and it was all really goofy stuff, but whenever Roy played and sang duets with other artists I really understood even as a child how great he was. He could play anything with strings mesh together with every other artist he performed with. He was funny too, always with a sly twinkle in his eye when he told his corny jokes.
One of the many country icons that stared on Hee- Haw from the early 70s to the mid 80s. " Thank God and Grayhound she's Gone" is a great one to check out. The man can play anything.
Roy Clark and Glen Campbell's duet of Ghost Riders in the Sky. Roy was a co-host with Buck Owens on Hee Haw. Glen Campbell's Gentle on my Mind (guitar solo live) and his live rendition of the William Tell Overture are classics. Roy Clark is so talented. He has a vast catalog.
Yesterday When I Was Young is a beautiful ballad, then there's his humorous side in Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone. He was one of the hosts on a long running country variety show called Hee Haw. There are several clips from there that show his ability with the violin and the banjo, along with the guitar. Another clip that shows Roy using a traditional acoustic guitar to play Malaguena is when he appeared on the Odd Couple tv show.
Roy clark was awesome. He could play anything with strings. There is a video from hee haw we're buck Trent and Roy clark play dwelling banjos. This will put a smile on your faces. Roy clark has the funniest look on his face as these two try to out play each other. Thank for all the videos you bring to us. They bring great memories back to us. Thanks
Roy Clark, 'a pickin' and a grinnin'. No one better on acoustic guitar, banjo, or mandolin. Phenomenal ! btw, loving Jay's Sister Rosetta Tharpe shirt. I see you've reacted to her music and to Billie Holiday. Have you checked out Bessie Smith? Great 1920s-30s blues. "Me and My Gin", "Put It Right Here" and "Empty Bed Blues" top the list.
someone once asked Eddie Van Halen what it was like being the greatest guitar player in the world, and his response was, "you'll have to go ask Roy Clark"
Roy's lightening fingers on "Tweflth Street Rag". HIs beautiful vocals on "Yesterday When I Was Young" and he does a comedy version of "Folsom Prison Blues" and a wonderful instrumental duet with Glen Campbell on "Ghost Riders in the Sky" . A Master of the Guitar. He hosted one of the highest rated TV shows of the 1970's "Hee Haw" which was a mixture of corny comedy skits and the greatest country stars of that era.
He co-hosted the wildly popular 1 hour tv show HEE HAW for about 29 years! He also appeared on tv's Beverly Hillbillies as a guest, and only suitor of Ellie May she truly loved. He easily played fingerstyle songs WITH A PICK! You should hear him play and sing his humorous rendition of THE GREAT PRETENDER.
Incredible talent and performance! Malagueña is based on an old Spanish folk song. A Malagueña is a female from Malaga, Spain. [Pronounced (Mala-geh-nya) the "e" has an "eh" sound]
Greetings Jay and Amber This instrumental rendition is of the song "Malagueña Salerosa". Originating from Spain, the song possesses a strong influence from Flamenco music. It tells a heartfelt story that resonates with the emotions of longing, desire, and love. However, its composition was first composed by Mexicans Nicandro Castillo and Elpidio Ramirez in a Huasteca or Huapango style of the state / region of Hildalgo, Mexico. It sounds "western" because it is an electric guitar NOT acoustic. Yes, Roy Clark is a great guitarist. He does a marvelous electric guitar version of the song. However, there are Spanish and Mexican guitarists who have done renditions that would make Roy Clark's jaw drop, at least with acoustic guitars. There are probably some electric as well, but personally, I haven't heard or know of any. That doesn't mean there are not any great ones. The 2 best known versions are from Miguel Aceves Mejia and Javier Solis. In a more Flamenco Bolero style. you can try listening to Los Tres Ases "(Three Aces) or Los Panchos (The Franks). You can also listen to Placido Domingo's Spanish Tenor version. it amazing!!
Amber and J, this is a Spanish classic guitar song, acoustic guitar. It’s a b…. Bear to play. Roy was a fabulously good guitarist and a such a good entertainer. He was authentic, humble, funny…just a great guy. Stay safe and stay well 😎🤙🏻✌🏻🤟🏻🖖🏻
Roy Clark was an amazingly talented musician and artist. His song “Yesterday When I Was Young” is one you should react to. Another great guitarist from the country western genre is Chet Atkins.
Roy was a major character/player on the TV show Hee Haw, he was Cousin Roy on the Beverly Hillbillies and was in many other TV shows and movies, besides his stellar musical skills. One of a kind.
Roy Clark lived in Tulsa from 1974 until his death in 2018. I love his music. He co hosted Hee Haw with Buck Owen's. That was a country themed variety show. I saw Roy on The Beverly Hillbillies just the other day 😂
Roy Clark used to co host a TV show called Hee Haw back in the 60s, 70s and stayed in syndication until '95. you can find plenty of clips on UA-cam. Variety, comedy, music.🤠
I knew that he was a great guitar/banjo player, but I mostly remember Roy Clark as co-host, then later the only host of the country music/comedy variety show, Hee Haw. It ran mostly in syndication, but ran for if not 30 years - almost. (From late 60s-early 90s.) Buck Owens was his co-host, and for an hour you got to see some great country acts, some sketch comedy, and a time to praise and honor the great Lord above.
When you see a Master at work it looks effortless, Roy is that despite his fear of the stage he was a Master player and also did sing, "Yesterday When I was Young" is one i recommend you watch Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶
He was also a good comedian. He co-hosted the country themed comedy skit show Hee Haw with Buck Owens, another funny country guitarist. It was one of the most watched shows when it was on.
Country Music has some of the best musicians. Guitar pickers up there with Roy Clark include Glen Campbell, Chet Akins, Jerry Reed, Buck Trent, Jim Stafford, Jimmy Henley & so many others. The reason you never heard of them is because they were Country artist. Watched "Hee Haw" every week with Roy& Buck Owens as the host.
Roger Miller (friend of Roy Clark) has some songs you might like: Leavin's Not the Only Way to go and You Oughta Be Here With Me, River in the Rain (from the Tony Award winning play Big River 1985), The Day I Jumped from Uncle Harvey's Plane, Invitation to the Blues, Husbands and Wives, and When Two Worlds Collide. Dwight Yoakam's It Only Hurts When I Cry is really good and so is Loretta Lynn's Fist City
Roy was one of the greats. It is said that Eddie Van Halen had sought after Roy Clark to give him a guitar lesson. Look at Roy and Johnny Cash Folsom Prison. Very fun.
I grew up watching "Hee Haw" the country music variety show from the 70s that Roy Clark co-hosted with Buck Owens. My father really loved that show, and while I never caught the country music bug, I do have fond memories of that show and Roy Clark.
Roy could play any stringed instrument like a master. You should check out his video on Jimmy Dean show where he does impressive display of banjo, guitar and fiddle that is eye opening, to say the least. His music is country, this was a departure from his normal work.
Malaguena is a girl from Malaga Spain. Roy could play anything with strings and was as funny as any comedian between mind blowing musicianship. One of the all time show business greats.
I KNOW of a young master named Marcin Petrzalek you should check out his AGT audition/performances 😊😊👍👍 he uses both the strings but also the body of the acoustic guitar to do bass👍👍he's awesome to
Roy Clark claimed Oklahoma as his home. There is a school in Tulsa named Roy Clark Elementary School. He owned/dove a 1965 Plymouth Belevedere dragster named "Super Picker." It had a license plate "BR549" which was the phone number that was used on Hee Haw.
Gary Moore "The Messiah will come again" live at Montreux is simply one of the best guitar performances of all time. He makes his guitar cry, sing and even bleed to finally rejoice. Its a guitar clinic for the best players in the world.
Jose Feliciano (Felix Navidad) has a video on UA-cam with Bing Crosby (White Christmas) called Mama Don’t Allow. He shows his mastery and versatility on the guitar.
Mal-uh-g+wayne-ya Used to drive by his home in Tulsa almost every day. Yeah, that Tulsa. Glad to see y'all react to it. He was an incredible talent. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Roy Clark excelled at so many instruments! If you are looking for more guitarists, you should check out anything by Chet Atkins, generally recognized as one of the greats and probably influenced Roy Clark.
There is a scene from the TV Show "The Odd Couple" where he plays this on an acoustic guitar.
Love that show and that episode in particular.
I like that version better. The acoustic tone is a lot better
I prefer his full acoustic version too. Here it is.
ua-cam.com/video/-xssnp7R51A/v-deo.html
With modern technology you can see that he is playing faster than the T.V. Cameras can record. His strum hand is just a blur. The Odd Couple video is my favourite version of this.
I like that version better.
Guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin … nobody was better than Roy. He was also a great singer and comedy TV star!
Ricky Skaggs
Roy Clark is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. The fact that he chose country music poisoned many critics and fans against him.
Roy is the greatest guitarist of all time!
Look up 'Yesterday, when I was young".....ugh..so beautiful
What a legend! He lived with his wife in Tulsa Oklahoma and just recently passed in 2018.
Yesterday, When I Was young is probably his greatest hit. Excellent song.
Roy always reminded me of the sound of two guitarists playing at once.
❤Roy could play any instrument with strings fantastic! Musician !❤
Roy is also a very good vocalist. You need to check out "Yesterday When I Was Young", "Thank God and Grayhound" and "Right or Left at Oak Street ". Thanks so much for today's pick and reaction.
His acoustic version on the odd couple..is amazing
What I've always loved about this is that it sounds like more than one guitar! Truly amazing!!!
I can’t even scream for joy because that took my breath away!!
Back in the 1960s and 70s I was a radio disk jockey in Albuquerque. Roy was on the bill for one of country road shows my station sponsored. I was there when he played "Malaguena" live onstate with the flu and a 102 degree temperature. Sweating like a stevedore, he played it FLAWLESSLY. Wonderfully nice guy and a towering talent!
Awe, I grew up on Roy, he was on Her Haw, he was unique
My family watched Hee Haw every week!
I met Roy in about 1972 in Tampa, Florida. I was around 15 or so. He was a super nice guy. He was very unassuming and friendly. RIP Mr Roy Clark.
Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona wrote Malagueña in 1933. It originally part of a larger piece (Suite Andalucía). He based it on a solo piano piece by Louis Gottschalk called "Souvenirs d'Andalousie" ("Memories of Andalucia").
You can find lots of classical guitar performances of Malagueña on UA-cam. One good version is by Pepe Romero. There are also lots of versions of "Souvenirs d'Andalousie."
Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps does an incredible version
Roy was absolutely incredible. Master of the strings!
I was one of the people that suggested this. Truly one of the best.
@@stevearmstrong1430 me too. For a while I thought I must be the only one suggesting Roy, as it has taken them months to get to him. From the ‘millions’ of comments clearly I was not alone!
My best friend played this piece of music to win a guitar competition back in the 70s. Played the Roy Clark version. RIP Don and Mr Clark.

Roy has a fun sense of humour and sings so well. …. He is multitalented..
And if you didn’t know , now you know. 😎
Roy Clark was overlooked he was so talented both in instruments and with adding humor to his skits
He is known for his singing as much, if not more than his guitar playing. He is awesome!!

Andres Segovia is The Master of the Spanish Guitar!!! Check out his version of Malaguena!!!
By the way, Jim Stafford does this as well. You may not realize that he had some amazing, and underrated guitar skills.
He was also a good comedian. He co-hosted the country themed comedy skit show Hee Haw with Buck Owens, another funny country guitarist. It was one of the most watched shows when it was on.
Roy was also one of the stars of the comedy/variety show Hee Haw which ran from the late 60s through the 70s.
Roy was a Beast!
There was an entertainer in Britain named Roy Castle, he could play 45 instruments.
ought to check out the acoustic version he played on an episode of "the odd couple"
Google it, Roy Clark and Jerry Reed,"Snowman", play dueling banjos on the same guitar, at the same time. Awesome
Country Music has some of the best musicians. Guitar pickers up there with Roy Clark include
Glen Campbell,

Akins,
Jerry Reed,

Dwight Yoakam's It Only Hurts When I Cry is really good and so is Loretta Lynn's Fist City
seems like they were at the top of their game. Eddie and roy.

You need to listen to Charo. Shes is a master on spanish guitar
This is a masterclass.
Now watch him play "Orange Blossom Special" on the fiddle (violin), or "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance......
Malaguena is a girl from Malaga Spain. Roy could play anything with strings and was as funny as any comedian between mind blowing musicianship. One of the all time show business greats.
I KNOW of a young master named Marcin Petrzalek you should check out his AGT audition/performances 😊😊👍👍 he uses both the strings but also the body of the acoustic guitar to do bass👍👍he's awesome to
Roy Clark claimed Oklahoma as his home. There is a school in Tulsa named Roy Clark Elementary School. He owned/dove a 1965 Plymouth Belevedere dragster named "Super Picker." It had a license plate "BR549" which was the phone number that was used on Hee Haw.
IIRC, this was a competition where he played this, and he won the competition...
You need to hear Khruangbin. Not only is Mark Speer incredible on a guitar, but the entire band is pretty amazing.
Gary Moore "The Messiah will come again" live at Montreux is simply one of the best guitar performances of all time. He makes his guitar cry, sing and even bleed to finally rejoice. Its a guitar clinic for the best players in the world.
Jose Feliciano (Felix Navidad) has a video on UA-cam with Bing Crosby (White Christmas) called Mama Don’t Allow. He shows his mastery and versatility on the guitar.
Gr8 reaction. There is a version of this was on the Odd Couple TV show.
Yesterday when I was young is a great song of his and if you want an another instrumental, Allen Parsons project with pipeline with a great sax solo
The scene on the odd couple is even that much more impressive
I used to watch him on Hee Haw as a child. He plays in movie's as well with Mel Tillis and other's.
Roy Clark, and Buck Owens. 😎
I feel lucky to have lived during the time when true musicians like Roy Clark were sharing their talent with us.
I've suggested, instrumental, "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams
Mal-uh-g+wayne-ya
Used to drive by his home in Tulsa almost every day. Yeah, that Tulsa.
Glad to see y'all react to it. He was an incredible talent.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Roy Clark excelled at so many instruments! If you are looking for more guitarists, you should check out anything by Chet Atkins, generally recognized as one of the greats and probably influenced Roy Clark.
