- From September 1990, Glen Campbell & Roy Clark play "Ghost Riders in the Sky", with some help from Jeff Dayton. Glen & Roy's version of this song is on the soundtrack album for the 1985 movie "Uphill All the Way", available at finer retailers everywhere!

You may not like the genre, and that’s fair, but any reasonable person could not deny the insane talent in these gentlemen.
They could pay with Van Halen.
The genre is good...I like the old a whole lot better than the new
@@ethanweeter2732 Eddie tried to get lessons from Glen, but it never happened for some reason. Which is a shame.
@@TheAzmountaineer who knows what EVH would have created if that had happened. It would have been interesting to see for sure.
Agree most of thete music is not my cup of tea buy 2 great guitarists.
Glenn Campbell was one of the very few people who could keep up with Roy Clark. Massive talent right there. Hard to believe they're both gone.
It’s my understanding that Eddie Van Halen would periodically visit with Glenn Campbell when he wanted to “tune up” his playing. That tells you the level of talent Mr. Campbell possessed on that instrument.
@@aeromedical6776 Eddie once said the BEST was Bruce Cockburn.....
I think you have that bass ackwards
And playing a 12 string...
Roy Clark was excellent, but Glen was better.
Look at Roy Clark. He is already playing a complicated piece on his own guitar, but he's also watching Glen Campbell play a solo riff at the same time. What concentration, and what talent. There will never be the likes of these two again.
When GC plays that run toward the end, RC is loving it. My dad loved those guys. He turned me on to GC in 1968. I was 6.😊
So sadly missed….irreplaceable.
Outstanding!
Two of the greatest guitarist ever right there.
And neither Roy or Glen read a lick of music. Amazing!
Most people have no idea how insanely talented Glen Campbell was.
Severely under-rated.
Oh, a lot of us do.
I have for years known just how good glenn is in top 10 for sure a virtuoso master
He was even a Beach Boy for a while!
Man, he was tearing it up on that 12 string!
Ladies and Gentlemen: That is the best guitar duet you are ever going to hear. No echo, no reverb, no mixing just two of the most talented guitar players who will ever walk this mortal coil playing as they always did at a level above everyone else.
Both guitars have a touch of reverb.
@@moebetta4224 true but still brill to see and hear 😁👍
Not for nothing, but Glen jamming with Jerry Reed would be as good if not better. Check out their stuff here on UA-cam. Jerry was fucking incredible. There’s a video on here of him jamming with B.B. King that’s pretty awesome.
@@medvolts Jerry was one of three people named as a certified guitar player by the great Chet Atkins. The other one I follow closely is Tommy Emmanuel. Tommy is an extraordinary finger picker I have had the pleasure to see in person.
'Walk' ? What an odd choice of word. Also, the Shadows called and asked you to give them another listen.
There are moments in a long life when it's okay to be old. This is one of those moments.
I remember when they were young.
Two of the most accurate, precise, monster players you'll ever find on one stage together. Musicianship unsurpassable.
We are truly blessed to have lived to hear and enjoy God's grace for giving these two men to entertain us with their love of music.
Listen to the guitar similarities here and compare it to the Ramrods'version. The only thing missing is the sax and the haunting vocals.
Exactly - God Given Talent 🙏
And never get considered for guitar greatness. When they wanted to, they played insane.
Seriously insane talent
Glen is on a 12 string and never ever misses a note. He was a guitar genius.
I had to scroll quite a ways to find the first comment mentioning that he’s playing a 12-string! I’m not sure if people appreciate how much that increases the degree of difficulty.
And you notice he changes which foot he taps with without missing a beat. I know drummers who haven’t mastered that 😂
I saw him play the William Tell Overture on 12 string.
An Ovation on top of that!
That's a 6 string. How are you seeing 12 strings?
Roy Clark unsung guitar hero. Sad how Glen Campbell left us.
Roy clark is vastly underrated. Even as a young boy I recognized his musicianship
There's more talent there than all of country music combined today
Straight truth there, friend 🎸
It was no accident
How true..amen
You goddamn right.
Yea, today's kids get Taylor Swift...GAG
When great guitarists are talked about, it's always the rock musicians, but these guys take a back seat to no one
Shock-rocker and friend of Glen Campbell, Alice Cooper said the same thing. Rock musicians hold Campbell (and Clark) in awe. And Campbell performed on many rock albums. Here's the interview: ua-cam.com/video/B6q2hsdXenQ/v-deo.html
Most in the know include Campbell in the top 5 and Clark could be ahead of him
Let's not forget Jerry Reed.
I've read/watched quite a few interviews with some of the truly great rock musicians out there. And they were well aware of what these guys could do. . And Glen Cambell was also a member of the Wrecking Crew.. A stable of studio musicians out of L.A. that also included people like Cher and Levon Helms. I believe you can find a documentary about that on NetFlix (it's called "The Wrecking Crew"). If I remember right, Cambell was one of the guitarists on a few Beach Boys albums. Back when you actually had to be a musician to be in music..
@@user-kh1gv4ul8x after all he was a member of the wrecking crew
as a kid growing up when these men were in their prime, I didn't realize just how great they were. Looking back, I believe that Roy didn't get his due respect because he was a regular on a silly show on tv. But if you think about it, Roy's move to Hee Haw was brilliant. Just look at the regular exposure he got! Glen? what more could possibly be said? He could write, sing, play and act. And he even kept up the gigging until his mind was literally, gone. they're both at peace, now. Thank God we had them for as long as we did.
@BKHobby I appreciated them but not nearly enough.
Wish there were dvrs back then. Missed a lot of great numbers because Hee Haw was on a whole gawd awful.
@@rta3738 basically true. There were some funny skits though.
Agree with everything you said sir, did not appreciate hee haw until in my 50s. I was a teen back then
Fortunately I began watching Hee Haw in early adulthood, around 1990, and was blown away when this segment aired (definitely was surprised that the show was still on). I grew up thinking Hee Haw was a waste of time show that my neighbors from Tennessee watched.
These two guys were amazing. Most people never knew what a great guitarist Glen Campbell was. Roy Clark is a legend. Both are playing in Heaven now!
Two of the best guitarists hands down.
Roy and Glen made a deal with the Devil. Nobody knows what Roy and Glen got, but the Devil got guitar lessons
Rotfl
You win!
That was funny !
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Flyersftw s
Roy Clark is one of the most under-rated guitarists EVER!
Played a mean banjo too👍
@@neilpaine9063 and fiddle.
Underrated by who????
@@sharonanderson3851
Just about everyone under 60
@@foodbuddy41 hahaha. Fair enough. I am 60
Roy Clark never got the respect of one of our best guitar singer performer in the world. God bless Sir
LOVE the looks these two exchanged during this incredible performance! Looks of admiration and respect. You can tell they were having the time of their lives.
Love it when roy sticks that tongue partway out
Total admiration of each other’s talent. No jealousy whatsoever.
My lord ,!!!!
Watching how impressed someone of Roy Clark’s talent was at Glen Campbell’s runs on that 12 string is an illustration of just how gifted Glen was.
Glen Campbell was a session musician playing on the greats like Sinatra and Cosby. And he had the voice of a angel. And to add to that he was eye candy.
I had a Gibson harp guitar and sold it to a guy who came up to Boston from Nashville. Back in 1978.
Glen was also a great banjo player too I believe. Roy could play more instruments though. I think Roy could probably even play steel and the drums if you had put them in front of him.
I just noticed that. Wow..
@@ethanweeter2732 Glen plays the banjo in this video -- a rather bizarre performance of three country legends as back-up musicians for someone who, while talented, wasn't strictly country. ua-cam.com/video/1stZJ_7j-cs/v-deo.html
I remember watching this on TV with my parents and siblings when it first aired.
Man, we had some first class entertainers in those days.
Roy Clark and Glen Campbell deserve 100' statues commemorating their greatness in all things musical, and such things as that.
Why can’t country music have this talent today?
Billy Strings is still young, but he’s a mighty fine guitar player. You might give him a listen.
Vince Gill is no slouch
True Talent is a thing of the past!
@@gregcamp4290😂
I can't stand 90% of it today. Occasionally a true country artist will emerge, only to be swallowed up by the system because they are TOO COUNTRY.... ie Scotty McCreary....
When people would say, 'Roy was the best guitar player ever', Roy would humbly and graciously suggest that honor was Glen Campbell's. No doubt both were as good as it gets.
Throw in Jerry Reed and Chet, you got the bases covered!
That is because he ( Roy Clark ) knew he wasn't close to being a great guitar player. He had a lot of people who were not musicians believing he was great. He was nothing more than a lucky hick.
kizmi axe - Lol 😂
Glens close friend, Alice Cooper, told him that Eddie Van Halen would like to get a guitar lesson from Glen.
I MCed a show with Roy Clark and Chet Atkins in 1976. I talked with them before the show, just to iron out the details of the introduction. Both being pros, that took about 2 minutes, so I had a chance to talk about guitar players with them, as that was what the series we sponsored was about, just guitar players. They agreed that Jimi Hendrix was the Picasso of guitarists...
Holy crap, that was energetic and outstanding. And Mr. Campbell was doing those runs on a 12 string. Taking nothing away from Mr. Clarke’s super human playing.
Perfect-Timing & Sync!! The-BackUp was Great-Also...The Steel-Guitar was Right On-Time...w/ a Little Icing on the Cake!!
Roy was as good as it got and see him look in awe at Glenn’s playing is really something. Won’t see their likes again. At least not in my lifetime.
And Roy Clark said his idol was Joe Pass
Never noticed, till you mentioned Glen was on 12 string. They really seem to enjoy each other's playing.
Roy is damn good but hell he's no Glen Campbell !
Roy looked and played great here.Always had that boyish grin and giddy way about him.🥰 R.I.P. sir.
"Empty Arms Hotel."😊
Two of the best in their profession. RIP Glen and Roy, Thanks for the great music .
Having these two master-class guitarists on the same stage in a duet has to be one of the most incredible events you could ask for. Roy Clark's version of Malaguena shows his astounding individual skill and Glen Campbell's version of the William Tell Overture (4th movement) is not to be missed. People often dismiss country artists but for these two, such dismissal would be a profound mistake.
Look up the video where they both play the SAME guitar at the SAME time. They must have had great respect for each other. They appeared together a number of times.
Glen played guitar on most of the Beach Boys pet sounds album and even filled in on their tour when Brian Wilson got ill. He was a big part of the legendary "wrecking crew" and played on or was involved in just about every major label hit that came out. And Roy Clark, what an absolutely talented musician who thoroughly enjoyed playing. I think Roy gets overlooked because he never really chased the spotlight or recorded music in hopes of commercial success. He really just genuinely loved to play.
ua-cam.com/video/S7AmyE6Rf-Q/v-deo.html
I think Roy Clark filled in for Eddie Van Halen when Eddie caught the clap from a groupie and was unable to perform for 6 months.
Any decent guitarist should be able to play with the clap. Otherwise, you would never get anything done.@@hillbillybeerdranker6678
He played the very ethereal and trippy 12 string part on "Don't Talk (Put Your Head My Shoulder)"
For that, I will always adore this man
He was a true talent, both were monsters
RIP Glen and Roy
Two of the most talented pickers to ever hit the stage
Two of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Two guitar legends. The world is miserably less without you. RIP Roy and Glen.
Mark Hall Maybe Kenny is singing with them now .
Mark Hall
True but both are picking in heaven
I don't mean to fault the dead, but Glen seemed to be working real hard to keep up with Roy. Props to both.
BUT we are extremely lucky to have lived when they did. So the cup is half full!
Amen.
As much as I absolutely love Roy Clark's talents, I am blown away by what Glen is doing on a freaking 12-string guitar. That is ridiculous.
Didja ever notice that Glen not only struck an endorsement deal with Ovation, he really played them?
Then you have to see him play William Tells Overture on a 12-string Ovation guitar that is just superb and otherworldly.
THE BEST OF ALL TIMES
Two phenomenal guitar pickers collaborating.
These two legends had more talent in their little fingers than most people have in their entire bodies.
Harrell kimes rare to see someone with my first name
@@harrellkimes1567 If I were you, I'd disown my parents for giving me a first name like that. But, It could've been worse - you could be a "kerkoff", on top of being a "Harrell".
Depends on the talent.
Including the colon.
I have watched this video many times. It amazes me to watch Glen Campbell's fingers on that 12 string. Both men super talented.
Two of the most talented people ever.
Glen tearing up a twelve string and Roy looking at his own hands like he can't believe what he's doing. Plus, this show was live. No room for error.
This has to be one of the best duet guitar performances of all time.
Woah!!! Fantastic duet. Two of the best instrumentalists!
Roy Clark was a master of any style of guitar, a pure unmatched master
The two best guitarists in the past 50 years.
For Country!
@@leemontoya8028 Glen Campbell played on many Rock and Roll songs as a LA Sessions Player. No one was better than Glen Campbell.
His best was Country! He even said that! He was the Best man at my Uncles Wedding! Nice guy! @@arturbello4213
The 2 greatest guitarists of ALL TIME!!
Don't forget Stevie Ray Vaughan!! 🎸@@jamescook7713
Glenn and Roy are legendary and deservedly so.
Great talents don't try to compete with each other, they inspire each other to even more greatness.
Glen was such an underrated guitar player. Playing this song on a 12 string is not easy I have tried it, he was great
I can do it on a 24 string .
Glen Campbell was not underrated. How could he be? His session work was impeccable and his concerts were awesome.
Both of them were underrated.
They're not in a rock band but these two dudes are in top 10 to ever pick up a guitar.
It just never gets old. Glen was a member of the Wrecking Crew, they were legends in their own rite.
Wow! I did not know that. The WC were beast-mode in their skills.
In fact, Glen said he made more money playing sessions than he did solo touring for a while.
The WC were trained musicians, mostly jazz, I think, and took the rock gig to make a quick buck but it got carried away, so to speak. Then there was Glen. He couldn't even read the music.
How could anyone vote this down? That is some incredible guitar playing.Most rock musicians couldn’t touch this. And I love R&R.
Agree w/you 100%! And truthfully many of those Rock musicians studied Roy and Glen's styles while learning to play!
A bunch of bitter, tone deaf losers.
Rap fans, that’s who...lol
I dispute this claim, I love country and rock and there are masters in both types of music. Country music stands on its own as well as rock does to put any style down just reflects your own insecurities...
As great as they are..., most rock musicians would not want to touch this. Having stated that, go listen to Jason Becker.
Two master musicians! None better then or ever will be.
You will never, ever see two more talented guitarists play together.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Eric Clapton and Mark knopfler played together I will still call that just a close second though.
I was at Buddy Guy's birthday party at Legends in 1989. His surprise guest was Stevie Ray Vaughan...The blues version of Glen and Roy.
These guys are absolutely fantastic
Chester & Jerry?
But why quibble - four of the best for sure.
John Mayer is pretty dang good
Good o'l fashioned American entertainment. At one time we had many acts like this who provided wholesome family joy. Not anymore sadly. Thank God for reruns like this.
Sadly America has evolved into a sh!thole. At least I got to witness the era of great music and bad ass cars.
Two greats that history won't forget!😊😊😊😊😊😊
The talent in this generation was phenomenal, to the point; we will never see the likes of it again, in music, acting and singing. Nothing comes close.
I am a rock music fan and this is great. No matter the genre, talent is talent.
When Hendrix was asked how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world, he replied "ask Roy Clark"
You are right, and to prove it. You have heard them and didn't know it. Especiallly, Glenn Campbell. Back then when studio recordings were done. It was usually a background group doing it. Not the band getting credit. Glenn Campbell was in the most requested background group. They did this for all genres. In other words he has backed every genre. Well those that existed then.
Man, that last riff that Glen played was amazing! And consider this..the Ovation BlueBird he was playing was a12 string guitar usually used for rhythm guitar, not a blazing fast lead. True guitar "gods"!!
@Derek Jackson Oh Yeah!
I had no idea. Thank you!
Also noticed Roy was playing a G&L.
@@bobkaiser8782 Yup!
There were quite a few who played lead on a twelve-string, but Glen was certainly a virtuoso on it.
two of the best gone but not forgotten
Glen was the MOST UNDERRATED guitarist ever !
Roy sometimes looks like he's goofing around but there is nothing goofy about his talent, he just makes it look so easy! Superb!
I grew up watching Glenn and Roy. I always knew that the picking was about to get serious when that tip of Roy's tongue came peeking out. I still think that he never knew he did it and everyone around him respected him far too much to say anything
@@TonyM1961 I had completely forgotten he did that
I remember watching both Roy and Glen on their separate shows as a kid and always appreciated the talent both possessed and when I picked up my first guitar "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell was the first song I learned to play and later, "House of The Rising Sun" because I had heard Glen sing it a couple of times although I don't think his manager cared for him to sing it because of his squeaky clean image and of course the song historically was about a young man dying of syphilis he'd contracted from a prostitute at the 'House of the Rising Sun".
Two of the greatest guitars players that ever lived. And two of the nicest people, who was always generous with their time. It's funny how the band behind them were peeking around to watch them play. They knew they were in the presence of true greatness.
Chris Jensen agree!
You're right, and let's not forget that you had to have darned good talent in your own right to earn a place in such bands as that (any band in the broadcasting business). So they know greatness when they see and hear it.
Video comes up on my feed which says: "Glen Campbell and Roy Clarke play "insert name of any song here" and I click. Flawless... just Flawless...!
I remember being a kid and watching shows like this on Saturday evening with my parents. Good times
Glen playing a twelve-string makes it sound like there is an extra guitar. Roy is extraordinary. Love watching this.
You do realise there were three rhythm guitars in the background as well as a violin, & a pedal steel.
Two of the most naturally gifted musicians ever, may they rest in peace.
lindsaymac01 no one is born knowing how to play. It isn’t a gift. You have to work your ass off for it for years.
Oh stop, my kid can play this, yes we enjoyed them but stop idolizing them.
Frank Smith - Yeah, sure.
Naturally gifted😂😂😂😂 ? What's that mean?
They may have been gifted, but, they practiced a helluva lot when they were young kids.
That will forever be a moment of pure gold.
Roy Clark playing is both an audio and visual experience. He and Glen Campbell together are unbeatable.
But why didn't they defend special homosexual rights ?
They weren't illegal mexicans !
Roy & Glen two of the most gifted players of all time! Do you realize there’s 18 strings between them? We miss you Gentlemen.
Holy crap! I don’t know what was more impressive, glen Campbell on the 12 string or the fact that both spent more time watching the other one play than they did watching their own playing. What a pair of talented guitar players. Those of us lucky enough to see the talent of country music on Hee Haw were truly blessed
Rehearsal must have been a hoot
😂🎸😂🎸 ♡♡
Two of the best talents of all time.
Two of my childhood guitar picking heroes right there.
I love how they watch each other’s guitars like - “Where’s he goin’ now?”
if you was paling with roy he kept them wondering he may have been sqiunting but he was a natural it was automatic
I was walking through the Nevada State Fair years ago and heard some music, stopped in and Roy Clark and Buck Owens had just started. Maybe 50 people were in the pavilion, so I walked in, sat down and heard some of the best banjo and guitar playing ever. What talent! Thanks for this video!
This is who every guitarist wanted to be when the grew up!
I can not stand when people don’t give such talent like Roy Clark the recognition that he deserves! So what if he was on Hee Haw!!! It was a funny and WHOLESOME program for the family to watch. Clark should not be embarrassed for being on that show. Roy, you just know yourself what you have accomplished and SCREW those people who tried to hold you back and/or not give you the proper recognition 💙🖤🩵🩷❤️
That hug there at the end showing respect for each other’s talent and life long friendship. Two of the finest musicians that ever strapped on a guitar 🎸
I’m 71 and I’m so happy to heard the best guitarists in the world! Glen was in The Wrecking Crew from 1961 to 1969. You’ve all heard them as they were studio musicians...the guys that would help “stars” get to #1.
So many! The Edge, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Glen Campbell, (Buck Owens owned the country music station in town--I was the 1972 Rodeo Queen)Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, BB King, Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Mark Knopfler, and I’ve seen them all in person. How? In the 1960s when I was in high school and college we’d see bands like The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix for $3/ticket. I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah and bands all went by bus and trucks...SLC was halfway between Denver and San Francisco. SLC was one more night on the road, so they’d play with few instruments and no big display for about 400-500 people in this dusty old music hall. $3 to see The Moody Blues. Two years ago, it was $250/ticket.
Helen, you were so fortunate to live where you did to see all these wonderful groups. I’m so thankful for UA-cam. Put on headphones and crank it up!
When folks think of Glenn Campbell,, they think of "Gentle on my Mind"! He was part of the Wrecking Crew in LA, a group of session musicians that were the best of the best! They could play ANYTHING and played on hundreds of albums... many not even credited. Roy Clark was absolutely amazing on guitar, fiddle and banjo! Two of the best of the very best!
Two of the best of the best but Roy Clark is the GOAT of all time !!!!!!
If you see either of these gentlemen in closeup when they were playing they almost looked like they are in another place,this is what they enjoyed doing
It's called cocaine
If I could play that well, I'd enjoy it too.
Carlos Santana is like that. Just enters another realm at times.
It actually makes me sad that these two legends are gone. It makes me doubly sad to think that good family shows like Hee Haw and talented, clean entertainers like Campbell and Clark are long gone from a culture that desperately needs uplifting entertainment.
True words
Yes it does, makes me almost cry!
I don’t watch tv shows for that very reason
@@angelaainsworth1715 Music culture is like the stock market with ups and downs, and we've just passed the high point of the curve and going down hill now.
By this time, Glen had cleaned up a very nast cocaine addiction. Clearly his playing was intact!
When I was a kid watching tv in the ‘70s these guys were on practically every week, either on their own programs or as a guest on someone else’s variety show.Always entertaining.
Definitely Pure Gold!
When entertainers were just that, Talented and enjoyed entertaining.
Very true! so true.
I always enjoyed Roy Clark's enthusiasm. He always seemed to be smiling and having a wonderful time when he performed.
That smile - Lit up the stage. Complimented his genius playing.
real music unlike today!!!
Unmatched. Roy Clark is a legend.
.... and Glenn's not too shabby either...
It's easy to see that Roy, a wizard on the guitar, is totally impressed with Glens prowess/mastery.
Two of the greatest guitarists that ever lived, and great friends. RIP to them both.
Both these guys were unmatched in talent. I saw Roy play live and he smoked it!!
Two of the absolute best guitar players of all time. Change my mind….
OMGWTF, the talent on this piece right here right now is unmatchable , playing one of the best high energy pieces on record....somebody please remaster this for us who appreciate it. Thanks.
They are all having so much fun!! What extraordinary talent!!
Two of the very best pickers Ever!
O K I CAN'T LIE I RETURN FAITHFULLY I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS VERSION
OF '' GHOST RIDER IN THE SKY '' BUT THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE .... I'LL BE BACK
@Greg Normal YES I AM A HUGE FAN ... BE BLESSED
Listen to Johnny Cash sing it, too. Many greats have recorded it from Burl Ives to Marty Robbins.
At 1:58 through 2:20, you would almost expect Glen's left hand and the strings to burst into flames. This man was amazing!
Just how many fingers are on his left hand? Twelve? Fifteen?
@@1950Grendelit's the right hand that's doing the real work
Even old metal heads like me can appreciate this kind of talent....
Two of the best guitar players ever
Roy Clark was a beast!
Roy Clark, one of the best guitarists ever! And I had no idea Glen Campbell could play like this!
Two country dudes, shredding before shredding was a thing!
Glenn Campbell was one of the most sought-after session guitarists of the 60's. He played guitar on most every major label hit in those days as part of what has recently become known as The Wrecking Crew.
