My dad took me to see Roy at a county fair. He closed the set with Under The Double Eagle. As an aspiring, young guitar player, it ruined my life and I thank him for it every day. RIP Roy.

To my parents, Roy Clark was the absolute benchmark of a guitarist...I don't care who I asked them to listen to...Hendrix, Page, Zappa, Santana, Clapton, Beck, the response was always the same: "He's alright...But he ain't no Roy Clark!" One time my brother and I were watching Roy on t.v....I had started to play by then, and I said something like: "He's pretty good, but he needs more sustain"...I thought my brother was gonna lay me out: "Roy Clark knows what he's doing!" About ten years later, I suddenly realized: "You know, I think he was right...Roy Clark knows what he's doing"...

Roy Clark, gone but not forgotten! We have numerous recordings and television shows. He was the most versatile guitar player, he could play in all genres, any and all stringed instruments. He was even better than Ricky Skaggs. Roy Clark was and is the gold standard of stringed instrument players. He was unparalleled among studio musicians, and knew how to arrange a track for the studio anytime, anywhere, ever ready to pick up his guitars, for pleasure or for pay. He helped thousands of musicians start their careers as studio musicians, then spotlighted their talents for others to enjoy. A man among men, Roy Clark, you made a young boy's heart swell with music when you played guitar for others to enjoy. I grew to love all manner of music as I was growing up because of your talent and persuasiveness with guitar. Rest In Peace, Roy Clark. Your works will live on though your body decays your talent will entertain millions upon millions of people. Because of your love of music and entertaining, your name will forever last in the annals of Country Music, Blues Music, The Rock and Hall of Fame and many other places dedicated to entertainment. To your family, your extended family, friends, and colleagues, I offer my heartfelt condolences for the loss of father, grandfather, uncle, brother, friend, colleague and most of all a great man.

@@journeyer58 I was listening to Roy before there was Hee Haw, he was my inspiration and the person that I copied the most on the guitar. The guitar that he plays on this video is a Gibson Byrdland, it was designed for Gibson by two other pickers. One was Billy Byrd, he played for Ernest Tubb and others. The second was a guy named Hank Garland, he was a star picker and played for Elvis early on. He made a song called the Sugarfoot Rag and others. That guitar was named "Byrdland" for the two guys that designed it for Gibson. Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. Expensive guitar, about 11 thousand dollars or more these days.

I'd like to take a moment - and hope you'll all join me in saying: Mr. Roy Clark, thank you for your music & thank you for your life. I got to see you play live. I got to shake your hand, (very briefly, after the show) You even bought a song from me. (Through his publisher, although Mr. Clark did listen to it & made the decision personally, I'm told. I got $3,500 cash + he let me keep 1/2 royalties. That's unheard of! Of course, I've never heard it recorded yet. Maybe I will do it in your honor.) I say without reservation - Because of you, sir, I got to cross 3 Big Things off my bucket list. May you truly Rest In Peace. Peace. JR

I have seen a few of him playing with Glenn Campbell, but only 2 or 3, always wondered why they did not play together very much, you know, tour together and so on. And I never heard them, or anyone else for that matter, compare them. Some say Roy was the better at strumming, not sure how they compared at picking. Just me, comparing voices, Roy had a much finer voice in his youth than any credit he ever got. Seems to me he spent too long in "joke acts" instead of touring as a fabulous singer, and picker/strumming player, but that may be do to the fact that I am limited to "KZitem" and so I don't really know. I know this, I loved the guy.
