His rendition of Malaguena is incredible. You should give it a listen.

[@totalityofscripture1001]

I second that!

[@MeridithQueenOfSpades]

Absolutely. On a 12 no less

[@thewindle]

Roy Clark, member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, could play anything with strings, guitar, banjo and fiddle mainly

[@JoneRuiz]

Yeah. He look that he dominate that guitar.

[@Steve.Cutler]

Yes, all at a professional level.

[@vandergrad]

The thing with Roy was that he was simply masterful with stringed instruments but he loved throwing in comedy bits and being silly. He came up in a time where being able to not just play but to truly keep the crowd entertained would keep you employed and he was so much fun to watch!

[@JoneRuiz]

Right, he is a master and so great to see how well he can connect with audience even if is trough a video.

[@nascargas]

I miss Roy. Such a talent. People like him dont exist anymore. Great musicians do exist, but he was one of a kind.

[@n-it2-win-it56]

Roy was a BEAST on anything with strings.

[@ericvanjames8395]

One of the greatest guitarists/instrumentalists in our lifetime!!

[@stevejacobson7128]

You might check out his rendition of "Folsom Prison Blues". He was quite an entertainer.

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Nice reaction video. He was a true showman.

[@ChicTumshy]

Wow! Pure class with skill and humour. So entertaining and very enjoyable. I will be seeking out more of this guys talent. Thanks.

[@maryannanderson2213]

You can't get much more country than Roy Clark but he also could do other genres of songs. You should listen to him play Malaguena. Both Malaguena and 12th Street Rag were live so there were no multiple takes or "tweaking" on a soundboard back in the studio or autotune. His sound is due to some innate talent and years and years and years of practice. If you want to hear his singing voice, listen to "Yesterday When I Was Young" and if you want another example of his comedic talent listen to "Thank God and Greyhound". Besides his talent as an entertainer, he also was widely acknowledged as being a good and gentle and kind man, which made him beloved in the country music world and he is greatly missed. I enjoyed this reaction and I would love to see you react to more songs by Roy Clark.

[@JoneRuiz]

Thank you so much for sharing those songs with me!

[@jankreps5115]

You need to listen to him play the banjo the Mandalorian and the fiddle! So far he’s an incredible musician with a quirky sense of humor!! For years he was one of the hosts on the comedy show he ha!

[@markzimmerman2057]

Glen Campbell - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJu3emeMh71mb7s Roy Clark - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nWpKGmbLdoZ6M Two of the most talented guitar players.

[@JoneRuiz]

Thank you so much for those videos.

[@alfredocuomo1546]

What's really Amazing his he is Proficient in all stringed instruments, he and Glen Campbell were some of the Greatest performers of the 60's & 70's and sadly overlooked by many today.

[@richardkawucha1232]

As mentioned listen to his cover of Maleguena. The one he did on the Odd Couple television show. There are other videos of him doing it, but this one you can watch his fingers dance.

[@GummyBearWA]

No one played as fast as Roy Clark back in the day. The best technical guitarists back then were in Country music. You have to remember the technology was in its infancy, which makes this era of music most impressive.

[@gilballmes9709]

Check out Roy Clark playing "Maleguena" (sp.).

[@snapstring]

I can really sense this commentator has a love for music 🎼

[@terrymoss758]

The Country Musicians in that day had to have real skills. Roy Clark & Glen Campbell could shred with anyone, just different styles.

[@PopularMonsterUSA]

I had such a crush on him watching HeeHaw in the 70's. He has a beautiful singing voice, my fav song is Yesterday When I Young.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

I'm an old man and that song makes me freaking cry. A younger person doesn't fully grasp the lyrics of that song until they've traveled many miles and experienced many things.

[@sbender3787]

You need to watch him play Malaguena

[@JoneRuiz]

Very sooN!

[@stacigabrish909]

You should see a video of him playing with malagunya

[@MrYatesj1]

Roy is a Monster Player, folks joked him because of Hee Haw but he was a Bad Ass

[@Lensmaster1]

Americans have to categorize everything. So Roy was called a country musician, but he played all sorts of styles. He was one of the greatest guitarists ever. In fact he was one of the greatest in almost every string instrument there is.

[@richvanorden7026]

2:15....might just settle the "tapping" debate 😉

[@trishriley9681]

❤️

[@scotttrainer9704]

This is from a variety show, that's why the comedy.

[@josefhyatt2780]

YOU MUST LISTEN TO HIM PLAYING DUELING BANJOS!!!

[@kylesummers1565]

I concur with others. Watch his version of Malaguena. Peace, Love!!

[@josefhyatt2780]

If ROY CLARK says "it's country"...ITS COUNTRY!!!! LOL

[@MsBenlane]

it is country and he was also a comic.

[@CCoburn3]

Have you listened to Chet Atkins? Or Merle Travis?

[@MsBenlane]

try roy clark ghost riders in the sky smoking hot in branson. he also tells jokes to start.

[@paulamaggard6499]

Here’s Roy’s take on “Malagueña“ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nWpKGmbLdoZ6M If it had strings (guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle…), he could play it.

[@TheLordHighXcutioner]

React to Merle Travis- Cannonball Rag instrumental.

[@JoneRuiz]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@jammin4372]

Listen to Tommy Emanuel, Classical Gas.

[@gilbertdare5921]

Chet Atkins Jerry Reed Glen Campbell Jim Stafford

[@ericvanjames8395]

They're all terrific!!

[@mark-be9mq]

Roy was mainly a country artist, but a fantastic musician above all. His Malagueña is remarkable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHmVlJSagpKAmdk

[@jennieanderson7971]

Did you happen to notice that this a 12 string guitar?

[@darkomtobia]

"Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo by Stevie Ray Vaughn is pretty great. Subbing.

[@gkiferonhs]

He's not known so much as a great guitarist because he is an even better banjo player. A lot of this song was banjo technique.

[@greggmaclean6036]

Malaguena

[@jasonandersen5975]

In his era, country music was heavily influenced by jazz.

[@n-it2-win-it56]

SRV is my guy, self-taught without knowing how to read music.

[@diannegauthier5301]

It's not country music, it's blue grass.
