Reaction: Roy Clark & Glen Campbell Guitar Duet Guitar Tutor Analyses

[@danbuter]

That's Hee Haw! Grandpa Jones introduced them. He's an absolutely amazing banjo player.

[@attentiondeficitsquirrel7660]

I remember Hee Haw! God I’m old.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Grandpa Jones? Great name, gonna have to check him out as well!

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

For those who don't know, Hee Haw was a country-themed variety show, with some of the corniest jokes (very deliberately) and plenty of wonderful country-western performances. A string-instrument performer could get a lot out of watching the tapes and picking out the many excellent performers. As noted, Grandpa Jones was great on the banjo, and the hosts were Buck Owens, who was an excellent guitarist, and Roy Clark, who was the master of pretty much any stringed instrument. There were also lots of other regulars and guests who would perform.

[@frosty3693]

@@thomasmacdiarmid8251 I loved He Haw it was good clean fun but the northerners just looked down on it as uncultured trash done by trashy rednecks.

[@MS-fb3xf]

Hee Haw on TV meant that I was visiting my grandparents. They never missed an episode!

[@jaygatz4335]

They sure brought out the best in each other.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Agreed

[@louiswhitehead5938]

Listen to Glen Campbell in concert in Sioux Falls South Dakota . It’s some awesome singing and guitar playing .

[@jimmyjams9036]

I absolutely hate everything to do with modern country music. IMO, it's among the worst styles on the planet. Old country is different. Old country is really really good.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Glenn Campbell was a member of the Wrecking Crew (playing background for many big artists) and Roy was a celebrated picker and award winner for Banjo, guitar and fiddle. So sad they are both gone but I feel privileged that I was around to see both of them for many years.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

They leave behind them an incredibly legacy!

[@krazyj1957]

Glenn also played bass for the Beach Boys for a while when Brian Wilson stepped away.

[@JeffreyTappan-bb8rr]

Glen Campbell. Sorry.

[@jmhatutube]

Two of the best guitar players to ever pick up the instrument. ❤

[@falconsooner]

Thank you so much for highlighting these legendary but often overlooked musicians. 2 of the better technical guitarists one would ever find while still retaining feel and emotion.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

My pleasure, so many great player that I barely have even heard of, it's unreal!

[@geraldbryden6720]

Glen Campbell declared "I don't play Malaguena and Roy doesn't play the William Tell Overture".

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Ok, now I need to check out Glen doing William Tell!

[@marksprague1280]

The reality is that they could have switched songs without blinking. These were two of the best guitarists that the world has ever seen.

[@tayro7265]

Roy Clark was the happy, friendly, country bumpkin Liberace of the Banjo and twelve string.

[@UTBanjo]

and a genius on fiddle, mandolin, and harmonica as well

[@socalpaul487]

2 of the all time greatest guitar players of any genre.

[@mikerobertson4041]

Roy was simply the best. Glen was a great singer, but a masterful musician, as well.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Don't know if I've heard him sing, will go and check that out, thanks mate!

[@genataylor460]

They paly so well they make the guitars sing. Love it.

[@mikebunner3498]

JBF, I recently read a comment where Eddie Van Halen was asked what it is like being the greatest guitar player ever? Eddie said, "I don't know, go ask Roy Clark!" That is an interesting and insightful statement from one of the best guitar pickers ever! Roy was SO damn good!!!! And he could be funny....... He played the oh shucks country boy to the hilt!! Many folks under rated him. And he loved it.. Glen was a darn good guitarist also!!!! May I suggest you search for Roy on the old TV show "Odd Couple". He is shredding an acoustic guitar. It is awesome!!!!! You will be impressed!!!!! Thanks man.... Keep on picking!!!!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

I've been checking out some other Roy clips and that Odd Couple one (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqi0q4avbceSgdk)... insane!!! Thanks my dude

[@Boudica234]

Two incredible players. Glen ripping on that 12 string is just plain NASTY.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Not gonna argue with you there!

[@jerrybobteasdale]

Glen Campbell often did the intricate fast stuff on a TWELVE STRING.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

12 strings sounds amazing, but tuning them... dear me! It's a pain in proverbial to say the least

[@par500dragon7]

Love this! You should check out Glen Campbell playing the William Tell Overture with an orchestra. It's amazing!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Sounds very cool!

[@richdiddens4059]

He plays it on his 12-string and plays part of it on top of his head. And he never learned to read music. He learned everything by ear.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Two of the greats

[@BryonLape]

Glen's motto really seemed to be "anything you can do, I can do on a 12 string."

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Haha, genius.

[@davidwalker5665]

Glen Campbell was a guitar prodigy, if memory serves, and Roy Clark was a true master of ANYTHING with strings.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

From what I've seen he could play pretty much anything!

[@RedBud315]

They probably don't do variety shows any longer because most of today's artist aren't really talented enough to perform live without all their auto-tune and other gimmicks. This is from the Hee Haw Show which was really fun to watch as a child. Lots of comedy sketches and music. Glenn Campbell played on hundreds of albums as a studio musician in the Wrecking Crew and my dad who was military and always cut my hair short finally let me grow it out like Glenn because he liked him so much. There aren't many guitarist that can pick as fast as these two gentlemen here. Roy's a legend in his own right.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

I mean there are plenty folk who could do a good acoustic version of there songs... although you are right that lots of people use auto-tune as a crutch. I suspect that we don't have as many 'all round entertainers'. Like these guys are monster players, humble, have great presence and good craic. There's a musician going about just now called Lewis Capaldi, but while I'm not the hugest fan of his music; it's prefectly good, just not totally my cup of tea; the guy has some of that, I don't know what to call it sorta, chatty, old school entertainer gravitas about him. But I'm probably a bit biased being a fellow Scot!

[@johnnyfrederick01]

HeeHaw was Nashville’s answer to Laugh-In

[@michaeljones0007]

The were virtuosos. Both excellent players.

[@hyacinthlynch843]

Forget Jimmy Page, Glen Campbell was a master of the twelve-string. And Mr. Clark was no slouch either.

[@rakitakhan]

I was living here in the Phoenix area when Glen Campbell started his downward spiral. It was very sad to see him fall apart. When I was a kid, I'd watch his show all the time. He was my favorite entertainer. I hope that wherever he is he's back to being the happy version of himself.

[@davidmitchell1239]

I was too. Was stationed at Luke.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for sharing, didn't realise he hit a downward spiral

[@darrinlindsey]

Glen Campbell is a completely self-taught musician.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

There's showing off, there's _showing off_ ... then there's Glen Campbell, teaching himself guitar. What a player.

[@terrymoss758]

Glen Campbell could shred a 12 string like Eddie Van Halen could a 6 string, you won’t be disappointed going down the Glen Campbell rabbit hole.

[@toyman9642]

It does not get any better than this!!!

[@Bacchus69]

It's amazing how clean, Glen, plays the electric 12 string guitar, and he is precise.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Amazing isn't it?

[@RichardSpeights]

Ghost Riders in the Sky? Yeah, that's a cowboy song. My father liked Country Music, so I grew up on a steady diet of Glen Campbell songs. I learned only later his true skill with the guitar. As a watcher of Hee Haw, I knew Clark's skill. Both men overflowed with talent.

[@VirginiaDonnieBoy]

Check out Roy Clark playing Maleguena.

Have you heard Classical Gas by Mason Williams?

[@wayneporter9405]

Glen Campbell doesn't get near enough credit for his guitar playing, and Roy Clark is brilliant on any instrument with strings.

[@jobe6792]

I never saw Glen Campbell in person, but I did see Roy Clark and I was dumbfounded by his talent. I remember how amazed I was that the fiddle strings were literally smoking. Many years ago, but I have never seen anyone else who impressed me that much.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Must have been amazing to see him in real life, what an experience!

[@jobe6792]

@@JbfMusicGuitar It truly was. If I remember correctly he was doing a concert for the new local high school to raise money to build a football field. The concert was in the gym and a packed house. I didn't know that much about Roy Clark then except that he was on Hee Haw. He blew away the crowd.

[@watchthe1369]

Mate if you are a guitar player youve done yourself a diservice by not checking out country players genre unimportant the different playing styles alone man.

I went through a phase of it a while back, but was looking at the more modern guys, got sucked in to fingerpicking champion videos for a while. That was humbling!

[@Djm8520]

Glen, Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins were all outstanding guitar players, but Roy is simply the best. Plus, he could play banjo and fiddle almost as well!

[@SIXSTRING63]

Jerry was the best of them all. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves at all. He could finger pick like nobody could, better than Chet.

So basically "Ghost Riders in the Sky" is to Country music , As "Crossroads" is to Rock music... As a child of the 70s, I loved Zeppelin Sabbath, Purple... But I would always watch Hee-Haw, for the comedy skits, the hot girls, and Mad Pickin'!!

[@timothyhiggins3475]

Tuning 12 strings isn’t much different than other tuning just more strings

More of less, it does 'feel' a bit different; to me at least; have to change my picking approach a bit to keep it even
