Roy Clark has a LEGIT claim to the most underrated guitarist of ALL TIME

[sharonkempf]

Roy Clark could play ANYTHING that had strings!!!!

[maggiegarber]

Well, I am 75 and I definitely remember him “yesterday when I was young”.

[e.g.flores]

The Maestros of Spain invited Roy to come to Spain and play with them. Hardly no one gets invited to play with the big boys, but Clark was a special player and they loved him.

[darrinlindsey]

He was underrated because he never sought out the spotlight. He just did what he did. His greatest joy was finding youth musical talent, and showcasing them on Hee Haw. He always injected some type of comedy into his performances.

[GodsOnlyGospel]

When both Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van halen were asked who they thought was the best guitarist, they said Roy Clark.

[KohldOneFilm]

Sebs, back in the Day, in the Hood on the South-Side of Chicago, ALL of the Black Guitar players would be watching He-Haw on Sundays to see Roy Clark play & to to Steal Riffs to get better, that is who Roy Clark is, ... I am 65, still Playing Performing, & Recording, But will Never Forget Roy Clark, ... Honours, ...

I was a teacher at Roy Clark's namesake elementary school in Tulsa, OK for many years. He visited the school a number of times over the years, and he'd usually play Malaguena for the kids in the school gym. He also gave our music department $20, 000 one year, along with 20 custom made acoustic guitars he'd had made with his name on them. He was a great guitarist, as well as a genuinely nice person. I also remember him saying at one of his school visits that of all the accolades and honors he'd received in his life, the greatest honor was having a school named after him.

I grew up a metalhead in the 80's. I was blown away by the number of metal guitarists who cited Roy Clark as a musical inspiration. It's true, Mr. Clark was phenomenal!

[randym]

It breaks my heart that the young people of today will never know legends. When I was growing up, they were everywhere.

[davidhill]

THAT'S who Roy Clark is!

I LOVE watching people discover him, and this amazing performance, and your ability to pick out the technical GLORY that he brings to this performance is great to watch!

[Fabulist]

I once saw Roy Clark playing “Durling Banjos” on guitar. By himself, playing both parts simultaneously. In the middle of the song he stopped and told an incredibly funny anecdote. Then he resumed playing, his right hand performing one part while his left played the other. He stopped again and said, “I bet you thought I forgot my place.” And resumed to the big finish. 🤣 Dude was astonishing.

[catmando]

When I was a guitar teacher I introduced Roy Clark to my class. When I got started the class was laughing at me and him but when I started the videos they shut up real quick. I enjoyed that day.

Roy Clark was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. When the curtain opened for him to play, he was frowning at his guitar, the proceeded to play Ghost Riders in the Sky. After he finished, Johnny asked him about the face he was making when the curtain opened. One of the strings on his guitar had just snapped, so he played Ghost Riders improvising around the missing string.

I remember watching that show and being blown away from the sheer talent of Roy. Well worth other reaction videos!

[Luap-eg]

Roy Clark and the whole hee Haw cast when they were in town in Sacramento they used to visit my mother and hang out and Roy Clark used to play his guitar in our living room and this was one of the songs he played what an awesome childhood in the beginning of my life😊

[tommyb]

You have to remember that tv shows back then was a live studio audience. Could you imagine getting to see him play that live? So amazing. ❤

[gailcaldwell]

Roy Clark was one of the GREATEST all time guitar players. Just because he was basically a Country Music Artist, a lot of people weren’t familiar with him. But Roy was truly a Kind and Humble person and one of the greatest humans I’ve ever been blessed to know and have in my life. There would be these fantastic “gam sessions”, and I loved sitting for hours playing with him and several other greats. It was one of the funnest and most educational times of my life as a person and a musician. RIP RC.

[suzimilligan]

I love that the two actors watching Roy, two very talented and professional men, dropped their characters and just bathed in the sheer talent of Roy Clark.

[ericmartin]

My dad, Doc Martin was considered the best steel guitar player in the 50’s and 60’s for Red Foley. I was back stage and met Roy Clark before he was a head liner. Neat guy!

[dubose]

I am so pleased to see Roy Clark's talent recognized!!
