I hope that one day you react to Roy Clark performing Malaguena on the Odd Couple TV show - hands down one of the greatest bits of acoustic guitar work that you will ever see

[@setonhillstudios]

Oh sweet, thanks for swinging by to check out the video and for the recommendation!

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

YES! 😀

[@sandralorenz1796]

Roy passed away in 2018 at the age of 85. He and Chet Atkins were two of the greatest. Check out Roy's video of him playing the guitar, banjo and fiddle. He was amazing. RIP Roy.

[@setonhillstudios]

I will look it up! Appreciate the suggestion and you stopping by! Have a great one!

Roy Clark was a household name for about 30 years. He was a star on TV weekly for 15 years - plus had comedic guest parts on top shows like The Beverly Hillbillies. He was a MASTER player on fiddle, guitar, banjo and just about anything with strings. You really should know who he is. He had big hits singing as well. An all around entertainer and musician.

[@setonhillstudios]

Well I’m definitely going to dig into his stuff! Always learning and trying to expand my knowledge! Thanks for stopping by the channel!

[@thewindle]

Roy Clark hosted Hee Haw, a country music variety show, for about 20 years and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. He could play anything with strings. Check out him and Buck Trent doing Dueling Banjos. Great reaction

[@setonhillstudios]

Someone else actually suggested that too! Gotta make it happen! Thanks so much!

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

YES! 😀

[@dagmar.6954]

I love this song. It has been recorded by so many artists. Roy does such a great version of it. He was such a wonderful entertainer, humble man & super talented. He was both a singer & musician. His guitar & banjo playing are legendary.

[@setonhillstudios]

So awesome! I’d love to hear more of his stuff for sure and hear him play some different instruments!

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

If it had strings, Roy could play it and kill it! Those looks you were seeing was just him goofing. He had a hell of a sense of humor.

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s awesome, gotta love a good sense of humor! So cool he plays multiple instruments

[@mjackson780]

Check out his performance of "Malagunena". His performance on the TV show "The Odd Couple is really funny!

[@setonhillstudios]

Sweet, thanks for the recommendation!

[@coletedeux]

The Great Pretender, The Orange Blossom Special, Thank God and Gray Hound, and so many more. Also, check out the TV show Hee Haw starring Roy Clark and Buck Owens. Roy was one of the top "pickers" ever. If it had strings, he could play it

[@setonhillstudios]

Appreciate all the suggestions! Can’t wait to dig down the rabbit hole! He is definitely a phenomenal player! Thanks so much! 😁

[@redrum482]

Great reaction! I grew up watching him every week on Hee Haw.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! Appreciate you swinging by the channel!

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

Roy can play Anything with Strangs:)

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s what I hear! I’m excited to check out more and see what all he can do!

[@suevillarreal9315]

Roy is a legend!! You definetly need to go down his rabbit hole! I agree with the other comments and suggestions!! You really need to watch more!

[@setonhillstudios]

He’s so good! Definitely will be checking out some more for sure!

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Malaguena is amazing or anything with Roy and Glenn Campbell, another guitar virtuoso you should check out. 😊

[@setonhillstudios]

That one keeps getting recommended! Glenn Campbell is definitely a name I’ve heard, but I don’t know that I’ve actually heard him play!

[@Fred-vy1hm]

@@setonhillstudios Eddie Van Halen took lessons from Glenn. 🤔

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

Roy is the best guitar player ever un my opinion. He also kills a banjo 😊

[@setonhillstudios]

I’d love to hear that! Seems like he plays a lot of different instruments apparently!

[@glennelfmann3143]

He was probably wearing a "Nudie Suit". "Nuta Kotlyarenko, known professionally as Nudie Cohn, was a Ukrainian-American tailor who designed decorative rhinestone-covered suits, known popularly as "Nudie Suits", and other elaborate outfits for some of the most famous celebrities of his era.

[@setonhillstudios]

Ah ok, that’s so cool! All I know is I definitely could never pull something like that off 🤣

[@Laura_Martin42]

I agree with Malaguena on the Odd Couple, it is fantastic!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks! Gotta check that out!

his hands went so fast the camera could not keep up with it.

@@jerryadams6799 🤣😂 I know right!

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

I don't know how I missed this one from two weeks ago! I LOVE Roy Clark music! So...I saw it, had it queued to watch after checking out some others (including your "Bridge of Sighs" reaction), and I started this up, but looked to my right (on PC...I never watch YT on my phone or Kindle...I need my 32" screen for these important things). At the right, straight out from the bottom of your video on the screen, was...a Super Vasc 3D LIVE video, wherein Dan was (still is, actually) playing NES Castlevania, trying for a NO DEATH RUN. I was on for about an hour, along with a WHOLE bunch of other members there...ones who comment a LOT, when you guys react to Dan's stuff. I rarely am able to get in LIVE, so that was HUGELY fun. Oh, and Dan (ahem) DIED, but...HE STARTED OVER, and when I left, he was being a warrior. I had commented, "Been there, done that. Starting over isn't the best, but, hey...WARRIORS NEVER GIVE UP!" That statement got me a LIVE answer back from Dan: "You're RIGHT...WARRIORS NEVER GIVE UP!" So there! Now I have the dinner going that I should have started an hour ago, AND I'm still stoked from getting an answer on Super Vasc 3D, AND while dinner is cooking, I get to listen to and watch another one of your GREAT reactions! What a wonderful day! 😀 - - - - - - - - - - "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend" was written in 1948 by American songwriter, film and television actor Stan Jones. Over the years, it's undergone many partial-title changes. The original version by Stan Jones was recorded in late 1948 or early 1949. A recording by Stan Jones and his Death Valley Rangers was issued on Mercury 5320 in May 1949 (about six months before I was born). Stan's fellow songwriter Eden Ahbez sent the song to Burl Ives, who recorded his own version in early 1949. After that, when you start going through a thorough discography for the song, you'd be hard-put to count the number of people who have sung and/or recorded this song. In the list I found, there are HUNDREDS of artists, but...which is quite weird...Roy's version isn't shown there! Yet, to most people, his version is pretty much the most iconic one! My personal favorites of old, were sung by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, The Highwaymen (sharing the leads with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash), or Frankie Laine. My dad's favorite version was from 1949, by Bing Crosby. That was the year I was born, and at the time the song was recorded by Bing, my dad was (honest-to-God) revamping the kitchen in the Crosby mansion! Daddy was a VERY proficient cabinetmaker and carpenter. He finished that kitchen something like two days before I was born on November 29, 1949. His two favorite male singers, ever, were Bing Crosby and Ernie Ford. My CURRENT favorite singers of this GREAT old song, are: Geoff Castellucci, and Colm McGuinness. While searching for other singers, I found THIS! Ghost Riders in the Sky - Original - Stan Jones (1948) *HD* It's audio only, of course, but it's GREAT! DUDE!!! I would link to it, but am not going to risk it. Just search for it, if you want to hear a comparison to Roy's version. - - - - - - - - - - Yes...Branson, MO. Wonderful Reaction! I could sit and listen to Roy Clark's music for a LONG time. He was always a favorite for me. He and Glen Campbell used to play this together, too...and I mean, together. They often did an act where they played a single guitar...together...at the same time...Glen would stand behind Roy and they'd both play the guitar. Seriously. You can find it on YT.

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s crazy if Dan beats Castlevania with ZERO deaths! That game is crazy difficult, or it least it was to me when I was a kid! That is weird that Roy’s version didn’t show up? Who knows, could be a weird copyright thing. I will definitely search for the original! KZbin is so weird about links sometimes! Thanks for all the info and I hope you enjoy your dinner! Talk to you soon!

[@billtroxell2148]

Roy had mastered guitar and banjo by the time he was 30 and he's about 40 in this clip

[@setonhillstudios]

Awesome! I’ve heard he’s quite the banjo player as well!

[@HareDeLune]

Hey there! Just found your channel among YT's chaos. Your reaction to SRV Texas Flood. I watch every reaction to that one I come across. Followed that to this. I wanted to put an album on your radar. It's called 'Chester and Lester', and you can listen to it here on YT if you want. But I would suggest doing a reaction first. They are the "true" masters of the guitar. Absolute Wizards. You may doubt my words, but after hearing them play it will be clear to you. Chet Atkins and Les Paul. P.S.: I like that you're a gear head as well as a player. Gonna check to see if you've reacted to Hendrix yet. Want to see what you have to say about his technique and amps. Jimi was unique among electric guitar players in that he knew the exact distance and position to stand in so that he could manipulate the feedback from his amp. He could, in a sense, play the amp as well as the guitar. Subscribed!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for the subscription and sharing some insight with us! I will definitely look into ‘Chester and Lester’ as I’m always looking to learn! We have not covered Hendrix yet but look for it in the near future! Have a great one!

[@mjackson780]

Roy can play anything with strings. Roy didn't write the song, Stan Jones did.

[@setonhillstudios]

Ah ok, didn’t know that! Thats cool he plays multiple instruments and I’ve heard he sings as well!

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

@@setonhillstudios His song "Yesterday When I was Young" brings me to tears every time I hear it. The older you get and the more regrets you have the more it will hit you. Also novelty songs like "Thank God and Greyhound you're gone" showing his comedic side.

So there's two of you guys, right? I enjoy you both. 👍 Nice pick-up on that Ovation, even if the blade headstock was a giveaway it was an Ovation.

Crazy that the guitar is his second favorite instrument to the banjo huh

[@setonhillstudios]

Exactly! He is unreal! I have to check out more of his banjo work for sure! 🪕

[@melissaeckel6311]

He picks the banjo as well, so his fingers act like he is playing the banjo but on the guitar.

[@setonhillstudios]

I’ve heard he plays anything and everything with strings!

[@jimfrederick3907]

Dueling Banjos

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gregcissell345]

If it has strings Roy can play it.

[@setonhillstudios]

It definitely seems that way! Absolutely amazing! 😎

He gave a better performance on the TV show ''The odd couple" solo performance "The Magalana"

[@setonhillstudios]

We have a reaction to that one up on the channel as well! It was killer!

Way too much yapping! I clicked on, because i was curious as to an almost 14 minute clip to a 4 minute tune! Well it was your never ending falling in love with your own voice! THUMBS DOWN
