Chet Atkins and Roy Clark - Rainbow

Live on Hee Haw. Enjoy these two legends performing together! This version is with a fixed audio, unlike the other videos of this performance on youtube.

[@ronaldjspolar1501]

I've never seen these two play together. Both are amongst the greatest guitar players ever. Such a treat.

[@Shuffler703]

Boy do I miss them both. I remember listening to Chet on our reel to reel. That was quite some years ago. Roy, well I got to see him weekly on Hee Haw. Two very rare talents.

[@mikegammill2440]

Two old friends having a good time picking a little song!

[@hughmanatee7657]

I love the latent comic genius of Roy Clark, always just about to brim in hilarity over his magnificent virtuosic guitar playing.

[@MarkZook]

This was fantastic! Add Glen Campbell and Jerry Reed and we’ll have 4 of the 5 best guitarists of all time.

[@CountryBoy62.]

These two were just beyond being talented. Like from another planet! Watch Roy say “Oh that’s nice”at 0.46😀

[@mikegammill2440]

They were good friends, you could see the fun they had!

[@JackTheSkunk]

I watched this video several times but never noticed that. 🙂

[@colsanjaybajpai5747]

What a wonderful combination. Two of the greatest. No parallel. God bless them both.

[@brianfauteux7711]

There aren't many videos of these two legends playing together. I wish there were.Their styles compliment each other nicely!As long as there are guitars on planet earth these two will always be remembered!Love you guys always!!!

[@davidbatterson4634]

Actually, their styles complement each other (not "compliment").

[@victorelvidge3457]

this guy was one of the best if not the best this world has seen

[@carstenmunzberger3667]

Just crying....... two of the best ever

[@wmrustycox]

Two of the all time greatest... Sideburns that is... and P.S. they are danged phenomenal guitar players too !!!!

[@willywilz]

Nothing fancy like pedals or effects .. just raw unadulterated skill and talent and genius 😊

[@wildbillhackett]

Love Chet's lick at 1:09. Looks like he's actually fingerpicking it with his thumb and forefinger. His lick at the end was great too.

[@wildbillhackett]

@Doug Working Cool bit, right there.

[@wildbillhackett]

@Doug Working He was one of the greats for sure.

[@AC-nq6os]

@@wildbillhackett That’s where Chet decided to turn it up for the ladies! Chet was more of a finger-picker, whereas Roy was a flat-picking-chicken-picker. Chet had some serious left-hand fretting sometimes, though, as exemplified at 1:09

[@charlescassidy6786]

Chet and Roy what a pair just great

[@patriciajrs46]

These two wree so good. There just wasn't many, or any better. Loved them

[@brucesoutherland9757]

Chet was my 2nd favorite of all time. It sure was close between him n Roy but id just have to give Roy the GOAT nod. Two of the greatest no doubt.

[@notrombones5041]

Awesome! Those 2 make it look so easy.

[@sandracooper2390]

So talented!! Thank you!!

[@སྒྲདབྱངས]

Priceless reaction from Roy at 0:44 ❤️

[@scdecade]

It's like a kid on Christmas

[@JustinTyme1966]

Two of the GREATS!!!

[@weirdobozo8883]

I need this

[@Danny-nm9sn]

Roy Clark must have been pretty excited when he heard Chet Atkins was going to be the guest on hee Haw 😊

[@williamstroud1649]

awsom.

[@johnmccann8319]

Amazing!💚

[@pauldashwood2897]

Love this ..wish I was there

[@alphabeets]

Sweet!

[@jamesdylandean614]

Awesome!

[@donaldblankenship8057]

The two best pickers of modern times playing together. This had better be in the Smithsonian.

[@CMArchive21st]

Man oh man.

[@JackTheSkunk]

Wouldn't it been great if Chet and Roy would have recorded a couple of records together? Two different styles but they sound great together.

[@andrewc9719]

Chet was more of a crazy finger-picker, but he throws in that blazin’ left-hand lick at 1:09 just to remind Roy who the boss is.

[@wallace57]

naw i don't think so, two different styles! Finger Picking VS Flat Picking two different worlds

[@mexton]

Giants

[@muhammadyaseen2876]

What is this called? I mean this piece of music.

[@VoodooChileJ11]

Rainbow

[@patriciajrs46]

It's funny: he says I want this first part done right, so I'll play it myself. Then Roy is playing right alone with him and smiling from ear to ear. Ha.

[@littleguytrailers]

Golly.

[@fredericsartier2874]

"I want the first part of this tune to be done right, you understand? so I'll play it myself." Not very polite for someone who is invited on the show. Not to mention that he's speaking to Roy Clark. 🤨

[@gman4860]

It was a joke. However Chet was way above Roy Clark and most people in playing ability.

[@AmericasChoice]

It was a standard line from Chet. He used on Jerry Reed all the time. And he was right, if he played the first part the song would go smoothly.

[@jerrydingus7915]

Both were great players. Chet had a larger composition portfolio. Add Glen Cambell and J. Reed. All however owe dues to Les Paul as do many Rock guitarist too.😊

[@thesongtowoody]

i can play that! lol

[@ChrizardsAdventures]

Sick

[@rabiabthepsuwan3887]

Surely friend? Ok?.

[@donniebelk4799]

Roy Clark ant no back seat rider he was a front seat driver

[@WatchMan1962]

Such talent

[@bobbymartin4446]

2 great guitarist's but I like Doc Watson's version of RAINBOW a lot better !!!!🎸🎸
