His strumming technique is out of this world. Such a wonderful artist that I only discovered quite recently thanks to KZbin recommendations.

I’m my opinion. Roy Clark is the godfather of metal. He showed up drunk, told everyone he was playing what he wanted to play and fingerpicked until the break down.

Dow needs a KZbin channel.

2:20 oh no the clapping. Don't clap, please. I want to hear this.

This was totally cool!!! I probably watched it as a kid! Hee-Haw every Saturday night at my grand parents! LOL If you want to understand the lengths of Roy Clark's guitar talent check this out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nWpKGmbLdoZ6Msi=d2w0HFCDHeYDDjeE You'll be glad! I promise! I probably watched that tv show as a kid too! :)

Anybody that was a teenage boy when this came out fondly remembers this scene to this day.

1st time I heard this song, there was a DJ playing it at a Tough Mudder” event and there where just a half dozen beautiful sisters dancing to it in the field in front of everyone. I was a fan day one.

What happened to real entertainment t like this?? Now we get 500 lb fat asses wearing their ballcap backwards with homemade face tattoos

Roy is amazing with the pick. Everyone else who plays the malaguena uses finger style, Roy is one of the only people I noticed to have used a pick during the performance.

I have played the instrument since about 1982 or so. This blows me away every time...

His right hand is a blur

Know this Hendrix and Van Halen BOTH said Clark was the greatest.

Never ever get tired of watching this. Roy had truly mastered his art. A fully accomplished musician.

I remember the first time I saw this. I was so blown away. My respect for Roy Clark skyrocketed.

I love how his right hand moves so god damn fast it looks like it's glitching.

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 This is so amazing 👏 🤩 😍 💖!!!! I am totally blown away!!!! 😊😂 😃 😊 😀 😄

As I only knew him as a character in movies, I could not know what kind of a man he was in real life. But in the movies, he was a man's man right up there with Sean Connery who played with him in From Russia With Love. I saw that movie in 1964 and it was the first time I'd ever seen either of them. The fight scene on the train was unlike anything I'd ever seen from Hollywood. They seemed to be genuinely determined to kill each other. It's a shame he died so young. He looked so healthy. Smokes and booze together are apparently particularly deadly.

the bit in the middle has me most amazed

Someone else posted this, but "Ladies and gentlemen, you have just witnessed the greatest solo guitar performance of all time."

That was OUTFUCKINSTANDING, and I just watched his pick hand that time

Roy could play any style. Flamenco with a pick and so musical.

Those strums are INSANE

Good thing roy played a guitar cause he put on a set of boxing gloves Ali would of had problems

One of the best if not the best to ever pick up strings, this became a bit on a show to two men watching an absolute master performing his craft

Escalofrios

WOW!!!

Next to Jaws, I loved him in Force 10 and Pelham 123. Incredible actor. I really wish he lived longer and made more masterpieces.

Travis had good taste

I think we found the real godfather of heavy metal!!!!!!!

It wasn’t just guitar.If it had strings on it Roy Clark didn’t just play it, he MASTERED it

Falleció el 15 de noviembre de 2018 por complicaciones de una neumonía. 91 AÑOS 85 AÑOS 06 AÑOS.

Who would have known! Roy Clark, I used to watch him on Her Haw. Only played soft country western. They should have let him play that way on the show, or he should have had his own show. Bravo Roy Clark. 🌹🌹🌹

Simply amazing

IF you play this at 0.25x speed, Roy Clark blows your mind at 0.25x speed

His left hand moves so fast at points, that it is just a blur.

RIP Roy, Tony and Jack. Didnt know Roy invented tapping

I’m old enough to recall seeing this when it first aired and our family was just gobsmacked. Another unexpected superb classical guitarist - Charo. Yes, the cootchie-cootchie lady. Bits like this remind me how much superb music used to be on TV. Every night there was a variety show, a special, or surprise moments like this. That goodness for KZbin.

Very nice in spite of the digital cliches

And he’s playing Spanish style with a pick. Mind blown.

I would not want to be in a knfe fight with Roy...he would carve me to mince meat in a milli second.🔪

0:17 nice underwear

Malmsteens idol

Its sad that a lot of people only know him from Hee Haw. He was truly a great

I remember him in the movies The Sting and Jaws. He was brilliant in Jaws, probably should have won an Oscar for his performance in that movie. It's sad he passed away so young.

As a kid growing up in the 80s, Mr. Clark was taboo! Hee Haw and all the stigma associated. His sheer talent, I believe, many have never been exposed to. Clearly a specialist in his abilities and talents!!!

This mans right hand technique is Django level. And this is the Acid test that shows a guitarists worth. No electric enhancer gizmos to hide behind no backing band to cover you if you stumble. Just you a wooden box 6 strings an an audience to entertain. And he blew the roof off

I love this...its so special...

This scene imprinted on me as a boy.

Roy had the strongest strum I’ve ever witnessed! Just beautiful!!!
