That was Eddie Van Halen who said that. However, when Dick Cavett asked Jimi Hendrix who his favorite guitarist to listen to was, Jimi said it was Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
I've read that Roy was nervous performing early in his career, and he used the humor to help with that. He was a genius with guitar. And the fiddle, the banjo, the mandolin... as well as several other instruments.
We usually look at rock artists when looking for the greatest guitarists, but Roy Clark was as good as any of them and I mean ANY of them. The guy was a genius with the guitar, banjo and a few other instruments. And he was extremely funny. You weren't looking but he played it against the microphone stand too.
Luther, was Johnny Cash's lead guitarist, who came up with the tempo, for Folsom Prison Blues, written by and performed first. Roy Clark added the fun parts himself. There is a video of Johnny and Roy performing the song together.
Roy Clark was a treasure to country music . He had a great sense of humor, played anything with strings on it and when he started a song you never knew if you be laughing or crying. Thank You for this Pretty Lady. I think you should check out Roy and Buck Trent doing Dueling Banjo's. I love your reactions❤❤🤠🤠
"Folsom Prison Blues" was one of Johnny Cash's signature songs, The Luther that Roy keeps saying is for Luther Perkins who was the lead guitarist of Tennessee Three Johnny Cash's band. There is a video of Roy playing this song along with Johnny on The Johnny Cash show, in which he does some even more outrageous stuff with the guitar. You asked if Roy was a comedian, I prefer to say Roy was an entertainer, he did what ever he needed to do to entertain his audience.
First, you are a beautiful young lady with a delightful personality. I hope your hubby treats you like a queen. To the video... Roy Clark was a massive celebrity in his day. He hosted a show with Buck Owen called Hee Haw back in the 70s. It was a country hick (not an insult) comedy/music series. My dad loved it, and so did I. So yes, Roy Clark was a bit of a comedian and was famous for adding comedy to his music routines on stage. He was also a good country music vocalist. That aside, his guitar 🎸 playing is legendary. Not just for fooling around, but serious music. Any all-time great guitarist list that doesn't have Roy Clark in the top is incomplete. He simply is a master. He can play anything with strings. His banjo and fiddle playing is also legendary.
He hosted the weekly show Hee Haw for years and years. His humor, musical ability, and good nature made him perfect for it. He had a vocal hit with Yesterday (When I Was Young).
Decades, with pal Buck Owens!! Hundreds of musical artists!! A good clean show...my mom however didn't care for the Daisy Duke's and short tight tops on the Hee Haw Honeys.
Great reaction. Roy Clark is hard to categorize. A good singer, a funny comedian, and a master at any stringed instrument. Mostly he played guitar, banjo, and fiddle. Some background on this song. Johnny Cash had it out as a big hit. I always thought Luther refered to Johnny Cash's friend and guitar player Luther Perkins. Some other songs by Roy Clark: Instrumental: 12th Street Rag Malaguena Duelin' Banjos Under The Double Eagle Singing: Thank God and Greyhound Yesterday When I Was Young Orange Blossom Special I will also mention that he was on the TV show Hee Haw from 1969-1992 (the show ran until 1997). So again I come back to him as an all around entertainer.
I grew up listening to this man every Saturday night. It is so wonderful to see people who aren't familiar react to his talent. It isnt like I have taken it for granted so much as I'm like "Yeah, Roy Clark? Legend." Watching others see it makes my heart happy.
Luther is Luther Perkins. He was Johnny Cash's guitarist and the creator of the guitar portion of folsom prison blues, but was also personal friends with roy clark. Luther tragically died in a fire due to falling asleep with a lit cigarette in his hand. Roy kept his legacy alive by doing this song.
I absolutely loved Roy Clark. He seemed like such a wonderful man. He was married only once since 1957 and they had 5 children. He could play anything with strings but he had a song called YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG that is in my top favorite songs of all time. You really need to listen to the words to understand and/or appreciate the song. If you choose to react to it, maybe just react to the audio because the live versions I found were when he was much older and he, imo, didn't sing it as well and talked it more than sang it.
If it had strings, Roy mastered it. Check out "Thank God and Greyhound" Roy did one talking about taking guitar lessons. He always played up being a back woods country boy.
Roy Clark could play almost anything and was the best concert I ever saw in my life. When a child I went with my father to a live show in a very small venue and he was a total entertainer.
A reporter once asked Jimmy Hendrix what it felt like to be the world's greatest guitarist. Jimmy replied "I don't know ask Roy Clark ". The man was a master a playing anything with strings. Guitar, banjo, fiddle...
Roy wasn't a comedian per se. But, he did like injecting some comedy in his performances. All of his peers knew how good of a player, of all stringed instruments, he was. He just never felt the need to seek out the spotlight. With his show, Hee Haw, he really enjoyed finding child prodigies and let them preform on the show. He really was an amazing person. Not that you should do a bunch of videos on him, but at least do yourself a favor by searching more videos of him. The last two generations have the conception that making loud, distorted sounds come out of a guitar, is what makes a good player. The reality is that Roy, in his quiet little way, knew his way around the strings better than anyone else.
Wow I saw this video the other day and thought this would be a good video for someone to react to. Great timing and as always I enjoy to watch you to react to songs.
Roy was able to do these comedy routine is because it is so incredibly talented not only on the guitar with the fiddle and banjo and many other instruments!! Listen to him Playing fiddle why is singing orange blossom special! He sings with a young boy named Jimmy playing the banjo at the same time another really really funny routine!! He was on the TV comedy show Yeehaw for years!!
Hey Britt .. more classic Country 🎶. Some of your elders will remember the show "Hee Haw" from the 70s. Roy Clark was a great comedian on this show. He also is a virtuoso on guitar and other instruments. Worth checking out some other videos. 🎼
It takes decades and decades of practice to play the guitar while doing comedy at the same time while also playing the notes in a manner thats not the traditional way(back of hand, leg, mic stand etc etc) and doing so flawlessly without effort. He did a special appearance on a TV show back in the 1970s and he demonstrated his skills to the audience. I don't recall the name of the show but if you truly want to see how good he was without it being comedic search for ROY CLARK GUITAR WIZARD and you will find the video I am referring to. Legendary Roy Linwood Clark 04/15/1933 ~ 11/15/2018
The thing is he is a master player of string instruments, I've seen him live before in around 1983 here on campus in my hometown. He's just incredible and he used to be on that show Hee-Haw a lot when I was a kid. He didn't really show any of that off here at all. He was just having fun but yeah that guy is mind-blowingly good. And the reason he could mess around like that so much is because everybody was already super familiar with the song, because it was a massively huge hit for Johnny Cash around that time. Johnny Cash did actually two entire live albums at different prisons, Folsom Prison and San Quentin.
I recall watching him on our old black-and-white tv when I was a kid. We didn’t like the show “He-Haw” with its imbecilic humor, but when Roy Clark was playing it made it worthwhile to endure. I first thought he was a banjo player from a TV appearance. Then I found out he was skilled on many other instruments as well. We will never see another like Roy Clark.
Roy is a guitar virtuoso. He also plays the banjo, which he is also very good at. He was one of the hosts, along with Buck Owens on the 70’s TV variety show Hee Haw. You should watch clips of that, very funny. I grew up watch that and Rowen and Martins Laugh-In, with a very young Goldie Hawn.
Another great example of using the guitar for sound effects is Albert Collins- Too Many Dirty Dishes. Luther Perkins was the guitarist in the original Johnny Cash recording of the song. Brother of another famous guitarist Carl Perkins who played with Elvis.
Roy Clark was a multi-instrumentalist musician. He was one of the finest entertainers that ever lived. He even had his own theater in Branson, Missouri. I see you have listened to ROY CLARK's "MALAGUENA" He died in Nov. 1918 at age 85.
Check out his version of Malaguena.... best clip is from the Odd Couple.. a TV comedy from the 60's-70's. Roy Clark was a MASTER of every instrument with a string... guitar was his primary, but violin, mandolin, banjo succumbed to his mastery.....
He was known for joking around, but it's no joke that he was an absolute master musician of the highest order. This guy could play more than one instrument with the very best of them.
Roy was incredibly talented as a musician...and a comedian! His friends said he could play anything with strings, and that certainly included banjo. His career was devoted to country music and down-home cornball country humor, and his combination of talents made Roy a natural host for the TV show "Hee-Haw." Check out Roy and Buck Trent's "dueling banjos" on this segment of Hee-Haw: czcams.com/video/47NPOkNqANQ/video.html (video quality's not the best, but audio is fine) Roy's best guitar performance (my opinion) was the flamenco style "Malaguena" -- czcams.com/video/Pz2hXI7Ny9I/video.html ----------------- Hee-Haw ran for 25 seasons and had a following that extended far beyond its original country music audience. For someone familiar with entertainment productions, you'll enjoy reading how the show was produced. From WikiPedia: "At the height of its popularity, an entire season's worth of shows were taped in two separate week-long sessions, with individual shows then assembled in the editing room. Only musical performances were taped with a live audience, while a laugh track was added to all other segments."
It is wonderful to see younger viewers appreciate Mr. Clark. He was a performer with outstanding technical skill and stage presence coupled with a good dollop of humor. He will be long remembered.
Luther is Luther Perkins; he played guitar with Johnny Cash. Roy Clark is doing his comedic take on Johnny Cash and Luther Perkins performing their Folsom Prison Blues hit.
Hi & thanks for going dwn the Roy Clark rabbit hole...He's a national treasure in my opinion & is wthout a doubt one of the best guitarists who we were ever blessed to wittness his gift to the wrld...Have a gr8t wkend...
Luther Perkins was Johnny Cash’s lead guitarist during the 1950s and 1960s. He was the nephew of Rock guitarist Carl Perkins. Luther Perkins was barely capable of playing the basic chords on the instrument. Johnny Cash wanted to fire him, but Sam Phillips at Sun Records convinced him to keep him in the band. In the music industry, there was a hesitancy by recording companies to have music artists with electric guitarists on their labels, because they thought that record buyers would not like the sound, compared to acoustic guitars. Phillips wanted to make a statement in the industry, that electric guitars could make good music, even by very average electric guitar players like Luther Perkins. Sam Phillips turned out to be right in his belief about electric guitar music. Luther Perkins died in a house fire in 1968, at the age of 40.
This is a one of Johnny Cash's biggest hits from early in his career. There is a video of them performing it together years later, and Roy performs it similarly to here.
He is one of the Greatest Musicians that ever lived!!!!! He could do more by Accident than most could on purpose! It came so Easy that he could clown around and make it look like it is just clowning around!! But one song you have to watch him play is Malaguena!!! I don't know of anyone else that could play with as much talent as he does!! Guaranteed to take your Breath Away!!!!! He is one of those people that never got the fame that he deserved! Plus he played a number of instruments including the Banjo, and he was a Virtuoso on all of them. For years he played on the syndicated show Hee Haw!
Fantastic reaction great artist just good smile music 1 for your list Gary Moore ( the Messiah will come again) live Montreux 1990 many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
It is a spin on a Johnny Cash song - Folsom Prison. Roy was on a comedy show called Hee Haw for about 20 years. It is said that he can play any instrument with a string on it. HIs parents owned a music shop so everyday he would play something different. He is extremely talented.
Folsom Prison Blues was originally sung by the late great Johnny Cash and in his original band Luther Perkins was his lead guitarist. Unfortunately Luther was mildly addicted to amphetamines, I think I heard he was a alcoholic too but don't quote me on that, and died quite young aged only 40 in 1968. According to Wikipedia about his death: "During the early morning hours of August 3, 1968, Perkins returned from fishing on Old Hickory Lake to his newly constructed home on Riverwood Drive, Hendersonville, Tennessee. He allegedly went to sleep in the living room while holding a lit cigarette, even though he hadn’t smoked in years by this time, according to family. His niece, by marriage, awoke around 6:00 am to find the living room aflame and Perkins collapsed near the door, almost dead. An emergency crew rushed Perkins to Vanderbilt University Hospital, where he was kept under intensive care until he died two days later.[15] He is buried near the graves of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at Hendersonville Memorial Park in Hendersonville, Tennessee.[16] Luther Perkins was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, as inductee #0230.[17]"
When they asked Jimi Hendrix what its like to be the best guitarist in the world he said they would have to ask Roy Clark.
That cool . Knowing Jimi Hendrix is still best guitarist of all time .. I told Britt last week to check him out ..
And Glen Campbell and Jerry Reed.
Urban legend: Eddie asked Alice Cooper to ask Glen Campbell to ask if Roy would give Eddie a lesson. That's the real story.
That was Eddie Van Halen who said that.
However, when Dick Cavett asked Jimi Hendrix who his favorite guitarist to listen to was, Jimi said it was Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.

He was also imitating Johnny Cash's voice thus the comedy of getting into his tone.
He is super funny and so talented!!
this guy has a great and unique sense of humor....also happens to be one of the best pluckers of strings EVER
Roy Clark was a master of nearly all string instruments, He was a lead player on a country humor "He Haw". Some episodes are posted on CZcams..

I was a kid when I first saw him on "Hee Haw" Before you look for the show, check out "Gloom Despair And Agony On Me"
Should check out Roy on the video called Guitar Wizard. For more great guitar Tommy Emmanuel playing Classical Gas.
This is a one of Johnny Cash's biggest hits from early in his career.
There is a video of them performing it together years later, and Roy performs it similarly to here.

Maybe you should react to the old tv series "Hee Haw". Roy Clark and Buck Owens starring. Great music and comedy.
He knows every stringed instrument. He did also act. Hee Haw! TV show

He allegedly went to sleep in the living room while holding a lit cigarette, even though he hadn’t smoked in years by this time, according to family. His niece, by marriage, awoke around 6:00 am to find the living room aflame and Perkins collapsed near the door, almost dead. An emergency crew rushed Perkins to Vanderbilt University Hospital, where he was kept under intensive care until he died two days later.[15]
He is buried near the graves of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at Hendersonville Memorial Park in Hendersonville, Tennessee.[16]
Luther Perkins was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, as inductee #0230.[17]"
My sister and brother-in-law used to go to Vegas a LOT. They said Roy Clark put on one of the best shows they'd seen.
