Guitarist Reacts to | Roy Clark - 12th Street Rag | Live

[@CCoburn3]

I'm glad someone is reacting to Roy Clark playing something other than Malaguena.

[@Evan-lr8nq]

I love seeing guitarists listening to Roy. You folks know how hard it is to do what he does and you guys love it! Thank you!

[@ErikSallad1]

He is amazing! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@quentinhilpert9606]

WOW you ain't to shabby yourself. Obviously with a LITTLE practice dare I say another Roy Clark!! just WOW!!! I am continuously amazed at what the human system is capable of.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you so much! haha, I wish I was half as good!

[@davidleatherneck]

Could be but improvisation while playing requires particular mind set. LOL! Roy's mind set is,,, well,,, particular to the max.

[@markmyers6472]

The last lick Roy plays, his right hand gives away his banjo background.... he was, and still is, an absolute guitar master...

[@ErikSallad1]

Yeah, it looks effortless

[@mta4562]

he is dead.

[@markmyers6472]

@@mta4562 LOL, and even in the grave, he is still a guitar master.

[@TheOldMan-75]

I wish we were still living in a time where you could just have a guitarist on mainstream television absolutely killing it. No fuzz, not explosions, not dancers. Just a guitarist and his music.

[@greedynewt6149]

Great reaction and really great playing too. You were really able to pick up what he was doing very quickly. You have an amazing ear for music. You should definitely check out more Roy Clark.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! Yeah, I will do that

[@ale8oneale8one22]

I'm impressed that anyone can pickup after Roy so easily, you are talented.

[@movingpicturesbruce]

This probably was 1963. I remember watching this when it was on TV ... pre Beatles for sure. The next day my dad hit several record stores trying to buy the album, The Lightning Fingers of Roy Clark. SOLD OUT! He came home with a scratched up demo album with no sleeve-jacket. I still have that jacket-less record. His performance that night was talked about at school the next day. I was 9 years old then, a 4th grader, I'll never forget it.

[@PriscillaV1964]

Roy also played Banjo and Mandolin that is where his technique comes from. Oh, he also played the Fiddle and just about anything with strings.

[@ErikSallad1]

Nice! I need to check that out!

[@davidleatherneck]

I get finger cramps just watching. Thanks. He also has a good singing voice. 'Yesterday when I was young' and many more.

[@GS-xt8fu]

I play…your excellent and very skilled to be able to even come close and you did….first time listening. Roy is a fantastic guitarist.

[@snapstring]

You was actually keep up with Roy and you was on the spare of the moment learning his style and movements. Not bad . You are talented .

[@jeff8ball]

Great job of picking it up so quickly....good ears...!

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you!

[@stevenowell]

Love Roy, Thanks for honoring him. I have no doubt you could pull that off in a short amount of time

[@Emilyhildegaard1]

Roy Clark could play anything with strings. He was one of a kind. You're pretty good, yourself! Check out Roy's Malaguena from a t.v. show, The Odd Couple.

[@ErikSallad1]

He was really great indeed. Thank you! I will put it on my to do-list! Merry Christmas!

[@royhowze4023]

Hey you followed right along Erik-Oskar....good playing and your guitar has a pure/clean sound. Very resonant and crisp. Ol Roy Clark was one of a kind self-taught and brilliant on several instruments.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! Clean tone with some slapback delay is the way to go! Roy is really great!

[@darrinlindsey]

Roy is the best guitar player we've ever seen, on this side of the pond.

[@soybean2739]

Roy is the best to do it on any side of any pond. Kills me how he rarely enters such conversations. People think of him as a banjo player. If it had strings he was awesome

[@baxtercol]

You, sir, are a formidable guitarist yourself. If that's the first time you listened to that recording, and it's not your principal genre, I'm impressed.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! I’ve heard it before but never played it. It’s easier when you can see what he is playing in the video haha

[@Nanni_Nurse]

Wow! Enjoyed your reaction and your amazing playing! One of the best reactions I've seen on Roy Clark!!

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! 🙏

[@timothybuell3314]

To make it easier to pronounce twelfth and fifth, most Americans that I know treat the f before the th as silent, so that it sounds like "twelth" or "fith". "Fth" is awkward off of the tongue.

[@ErikSallad1]

Oh, thanks! That’s one of the hardest things to pronounce haha

[@XDarkSyntaXOriginal]

You forgot to show us the tap dance steps.

[@ErikSallad1]

Yes. I will add that when I know how to play this song

[@rocwater10]

This gentleman is really talented. Picks up Roy's playing very well

[@terrysanders2817]

Thank you for demystifying Roy's work!

[@josephmallard9053]

Wow, you are really good at guitar yourself! Very nice!

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you!

What a great teacher for a great student ❤❤

[@douglasg.9271]

My first time seeing your video. Will be coming back again. 👍🏻

Roy Clark is one of the guitar gods

[@mickaelwilliams6129]

roy was a natural...not too many people like that

[@par500dragon7]

Roy would've been very pleased!

[@skipper409]

Wow….you are a great player!

[@robbyrob0723]

Right on bud! Yeah he'd take some work to grab it all

[@johnroof2663]

Roy Clark was a master of any instrument with strings.

[@Icasegnagitarrist]

Du är grym! Jag älskar dina reaktionsvideor. Sluta aldrig! 60-talet är helt rätt!

[@ErikSallad1]

Tack så mycket! Härligt, då har man lite koll på sina årtionden haha!

[@danielu1763]

Enjoyable!

[@johnaldasch9966]

Like your playing.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you!

[@robertkramer41]

Add physical comedy to his bag, he has lots going on and effortlessly dancing around us, those faces... Another 🐐 Vince Gill is a bmf on guitar as is Billy Strings

[@michaelgrillo4333]

I am impressed with your playing as well. Maybe try some Glenn Campbell as well.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! Yeah sure!

[@margiestevens2384]

The twelveth st rag was a ragtime jazz composition from the early 1914? Sheet music available but Roy Clark was self taught. Not sure if he could read music.

[@ErikSallad1]

Aha ok! I don’t know either. But he plays great and thats what matters

[@nadimmahmud277]

Erik, ur intros are always so random, haha. Great reaction btw.

[@andrewmartin808]

The "12th Street Rag" was composed by Euday L. Boman in 1897!!!

[@mackhorton4843]

On a side note . This is an old ragtime piece of music written for the piano. It sounds good, but better when played on a guitar

[@Southern.child86]

Good stuff sir! On the subject of what year this was, the Fender Jaguar he’s playing debuted in 1962, and I believe color TV in the USA was 1964 or 1965….. that may not be right. At any rate, I’d guess this was early to mid 1960’s…. Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thanks! Sounds right but I don’t really know either

[@RoxanneCarter34]

Check out Roy’s version of under the double eagle

[@ErikSallad1]

Thanks for the tip! I sure will!

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you!

[@larryfried7742]

I'm Impressed that you could figure out the licks so quickly. Nice Job! 🙂 Looks like you've been playing for some time. Just curious, by any chance,: Are you a " Session Player?"

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! Yeah, I've been playing for some years now. I actually went to "session" music school so I guess you can say that haha

[@larryfried7742]

Hey Erik, Thought so..I just retired from playing Musical Theater and stage shows after playing out for over 40 years. I'm no stranger to "figuring things out under all conditions like Key Changes ,editing my charts on the fly and putting up with insane music directors and a full schedule. I can spot another very experienced musician a mile away You have the chops, so if a good position comes along GRAB it! *cheers*@@ErikSallad1

[@ErikSallad1]

@@larryfried7742 okay, nice! I've played some in some small musicals and I think thats a really fun job. I would like to do it again, but on a little bit of a bigger scale. Thank you!

[@ronaldreynolds7087]

Yes he figured it out but I do believe he's been listening to Roy Clark for some time trying to mimic him . Can't convince me this was his first time listening he's to good and proves he can keep up with him .

[@donnelson7797]

You did an excellent job of playing what he played. If yo worked at it a little you could probably play the whole song

[@Scrimjer]

You kinda hummed a note before you played it I do that too, god bless our relative pitch, also you need to more dancing, great video as always

[@ErikSallad1]

Yeah, I feel like Leland Sklar Hahah! More dancing for the next video! Thank you!

[@brianholmes9135]

Greatness

[@MrJeffinLodi]

Nice job.

[@perustc9158]

Now all you have to do is master the violin, Cello, Banjo, and the Mandolin. Good luck to you!

[@ErikSallad1]

haha exactly

[@perustc9158]

😁@@ErikSallad1

[@markhansen7998]

Roy's big regret was never having learned to read music. He played by ear and almost certainly had perfect pitch.

[@ErikSallad1]

I wish I was better at reading music to. I'm I bit to lazy to learn it good haha

[@migueldumalag4839]

Love the vids man can you do ear training lessons. I'm amazed you can able to learn a song fast by ear.

[@ErikSallad1]

Thank you! Yeah, maybe! I can look into it!

[@ByrdmanTrucker]

Check out roy clark. malaguena... odd couple its mind blowing

[@waynecoker7129]

is this video about you or ROY CLARK ??

[@CoCooMa11]

I think (not 100% sure) that Roy Clark in his time, was the fastest picking guitarr player around.....

[@michaelfohey5455]

I looked forward to this but your continuous stops to play made me not finish the video

[@ErikSallad1]

Sorry fo that buddy. Maybe I'll stop less next time

[@brewstergallery]

@@ErikSallad1 I also bailed on this video because of too many stops. Take a tip from Fil of Wings of Pegasus. Play the song in it's entirety or with minimal stops and break it down afterwards. You play well and learn fast but let your audience enjoy what you've chosen. Thanks anyway.

[@JayMac-kj9kt]

@@ErikSallad1 It bothered me at first but as you continued it showed you cared about the performance and Roy Clark enough to want to learn from Him. Roy I`m sure would have loved for you to play along with Him because of the respect you showed by trying to emulate Him in this. Peace and brother love to you and all from the USA. I grew up watching Roy Clark on the show Hee Haw and I`ll be watching your videos as well, great job.

[@ErikSallad1]

@@JayMac-kj9kt Thanks! Yeah, I really like Roy, one hell of a player! I’m glad you liked it!

Good job but you know speed takes many years of practice i guess right? It'll come but you'll not duplicate Roy, nobody can.

[@darrenwiggins9957]

Really great . No offence but makes you see how great Roy was. Your hitting the notes but not the way he does. So many neuances so clear so musical But for of the cuff pretty amazing. You would need a ton of practice to make it come to life like he does. But I'm pretty shure you know this. Now make funny faces and tap dance lol.

Yeah, he was one of a kind! Yes, thats for the next video haha!
