saw this and had to post! Incredible! Probably not the most technically correct version out there but still a great guitar player and great showman. Not to mention all played on a 12 string!
Even more impressive on a 6 string in my opinion.
Try to watch his right hand. It is literally a blur.
You were friends with him?As i said at the time of his death I had a big personal connection with Mr. Clark my whole life.
Roy Clark is probably one of the most talented string musicians of our time, if not the most talented.
My father had a country and western band called the Rhythm Ranch Boys that he played gigs all over eastern Colorado to supplement the household income with. He was the lead guitarist and lead singer.
We used to watch Hee-Haw whenever it was on. The old man was very good, but more of the Johnny Cash style. Whenever Roy would come on he would proclaim "That is best damned guitar player ever". I agree Pop, I agree.
That kid in the video playing the banjo was pretty damned smoking as well, did he ever become somebody?
