Without a Clarence White, there could not have been a Tony Rice. Clarence has been copied but never equaled.

Your father is a hero of mine. God bless you.

Slow he uses a COMPLETELY different tech than fast. Glad I noticed this

Jerry = funcityusa

The first 25 seconds of this video should go in a museum

Purty good crowd of pickers right 'cheer.

Clarence’s rhythm back up in Soldiers Joy is just so good. Is he the best flatpicker ever? Yes. Tony a close second.

You don’t get Tony Rice without Clarence. There’s no telling who would have been the real GOAT if Clarence had not been killed but I firmly believe it one of the two.

All these years later he’s the best flatpicker I have ever heard. Lord knows what Tony’s sound would be without have heard and met Clarence. His influence on Tony was massive and you can hear it plain as day.

The part about Scotty had me in tears

God gave us recording of Clarence to give us inspiration and what we could strive for but never attain. Thank God recordings of him live on to keep us trying.

Puts the blue in bluegrass!

What a great share... thanks so much

Clarence was a massive talented guitarist taken from us way too soon. Listening to him is a joy. Clarence didn’t know it at the time but that 58957 aka “the antique” is the holy grail of acoustic guitars. Every flatpicker owes a debt of gratitude to Clarence. They all learned something from him even if they weren’t influenced by him. The GOAT.

Clarence White was one of the very best. Can you imagine had he not been killed by that driver what he along with Tony,Norman and the others could have done?

Awesome

Some reallygoodn picking ilove goodn good guitar picking keeping up buddy first soldiers joy for a while injoyed much

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!!❤

I can move my fingers that fast--but music does not result.

You gotta pay your dues if you want to play the blues, and remember it don't come easy--Ringo Starr Thanks for making this msuic!

People want to know where the commemorative park is where Clarence White died, loading up his guitar into the car. Ppeople want to go there or at least see it on 'street view'.

🤗🤗🤗🤗

Sorry to speak heresy, but I’m not hearing what everybody’s Gaga about. Not.at.all!!! Dude’s timing sounds like he’s high AF, literally all over the place!!!! Kudos to the other guitar player and the mandolin guy (who’s otherwise also not that great!!!!) for the minor miracle of somehow keeping track of the downbeat while this guys’s playing here there and everywhere except in time! He may be “one of the greats, but this is objectively not good… (and yes! I could do better, without question.)

Wow! Now that I've seen a video of Clarence playing Soldier's Joy using a capo I can understand his technique a little better. I first heard it on the Muleskinners album and tried to play it without a capo. I had it pretty much note for note and could get it up to almost 1/4 speed on a really good day. Using a capo I might be able to get it up to almost 3/8 speed on a good day!

Clarence's eye contact right after Peter misrepresented the lyrics made me laugh (^0^)

Clarence White IS bluegrass flatpicking guitar; he clearly didn't deserve the jabs and disrespect that Bob Baxter was giving him on this show (just my opinion)...

Love ya, Clarence.

Thanks for yhe upload brother.

💫🙏💫

Musical genius. The best guitar player I've ever heard. All due respect to Tony Rice and Norman Blake

Excellent

Yes sir!

RIP Byron Berline

Gracias maestros Clarence y Roland White ¡¡

On a David Grisman and Tony Rice album, Grisman introduces I Am a Pilgrim saying they learned it from Clarence White, and the guitar that Tony is playing was once owned by Clarence. He plays out of chords a lot, similar to Doc.

Spell check👽

i've learned a few songs that people comment "my guitar aint got them sounds on it" but damn, my guitar really doesn't have THESE sounds on it...

Awesome pickin & singing!

Formerly Chuck's

Lead acoustic, and Parsons - white pull string. No one will ever be in Clarence Leblanc's league. He was a once-in-a-lifetime musician.

and whom did clarence learned to play so well and so fast? who tought him?self taught?

whouah !!!!!!!!!!!!so bluffin'! i can understand how tony could play !

I first saw Clarence White on an episode of Andy Griffith called The Music of Mayberry. He was a young buck then. I was about 5.

We don't know if that is "the" Martin or a Roy Noble?

He obviously taught Tony Rice.

My father. 😭❣️Clarence White and uncle Roland

Lead acoustic, and responsible for B Bender on telecaster. Clarence was in his own league.
