Roy was a self taught, multi-instrumentalist. His family was too poor to pay for lessons, so had to figure it all out for himself. Brilliant talent.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Roy could also sing and had a big hit with the song "Yesterday, when I was Young".

[@thewindle]

Great reaction, the gentleman who was handing him the banjo and fiddle is Jimmy Dean, yes, the same guy that the sausage is named for, was a country music legend as well. His signature song is Big Bad John, worth checking out.

[@Djm8520]

He also famously fired Roy for being late when Roy was a member of Jimmy’s band in the early days of both of their careers.

[@scottluck2516]

He was absolutely incredible! He was the reason I wanted to learn guitar. I heard him play an instrumental of Ghost Riders In The Sky and that was all it took. I've since learned bass, mandolin and 5 string banjo. I have Roy to thank for the inspiration. Lol check out the video of him playing Rocky Top with The Muppets lol . He plays guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle on it.

[@marieross6231]

If it had strings, Roy Clark could play it, and like a Master,😊

[@rickmiller6359]

He's the best!

[@markmoore236]

Awesome, I suggested this one, don't know if you saw mine or another, but glad you caught this one

[@TheBrian08]

I have never tried a violin, but I played guitar, and I tried to play a banjo before and it was very difficult. It was good to hear you talk about growing up and learning to play and stuff. You should do that more. 👍

* I play

[@marahdolores8930]

I played violin and viola when I was younger; symphony, chamber orchestra, pit orchestras, small ensembles, and a tiny bit of back up recording work. The first few months learning to play bowed strings are spent learning to produce consistent good clean sound with the bow and setting the fingering in muscle memory while learning to read music, so yes, beginning piano and guitar were easier in that sense - it is easier to produce a cleaner sound from the very beginning, and the notes are marked out easier without need for muscle memory (because you have helps in keys on piano and frets on guitar). Violin is more like a reed or woodwind or brass instrument in that it takes time to learn to produce consistent clean sound first before learning much in the way of technique, complexity, or nuance. Playing fiddle is completely different than playing classical violin. Making double stops (chords) sound clean, plus the bowing for the rythyms are difficult techniques to master and sound really good. As a violinist, I am in awe of how good Roy Clark was on so many instruments. (Didn't he play piano, too?) He was a truly versatile, awesomely talented string player and superb picker. (Picking is Appalachian style bluegrass right hand technique.) If you like bluegrass picking style, another bluegrass musician worth a listen (who can also play a few different instruments) is Ricky Skaggs. Allison Kraus is a bluegrass musician whose primary instrument is fiddle if you want to take a listen and go off on that rabbit trail (Dan Tymminski and other bluegrass pickers are in her group Union Station). One last suggestion, in a totally different direction, completely different technique on exceptionally heavy-guage strings. Stevie Ray Vaughn was a great blues guitarist, and worth a listen. His Texas Flood live performance would be a good one..

The Other guy was the host of the show world famous singer and i believe song writer ...don't hold me to that and purveyor of great sausage Jimmy Dean

[@darrinlindsey]

Roy was also Classically trained. In my opinion, he is the best guitar play ever.

[@mkd6878]

Nope. He got his first guitar at 11. But his Dad (and himself) taught Roy to play according to all I have read.

[@TheGoldbaxter]

he also played the mandolin

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

You ever watched "How High the Moon," 1951. Les Paul and Mary Ford. That song changed how I judged music.

[@jameswest8280]

Roy could make a cigar box with rubber bands sound fantastic.

[@allenemmons1124]

He was /is the best

[@John-pt7oh]

You need to look up Malaguena by Roy Clark

[@laynecox3992]

Ultimate showman. The violin and fiddle are the same instrument. It's how its played thats different

[@Datanditto]

Those of us that grew up on these guys laugh at these kids that are beside themselves that there were actually skilled musicians around before Lil Wayne.

[@mickaelwilliams6129]

some people have a natural talent/....they just dont know what it is.....roy did .

[@woodymallory9058]

Roy could play anything with a string on it

[@lessaqueensrider8571]
