Clint was a dear friend when I lived in Reno in the 90's. I have stories....Ive heard him play things nobody else has. Cheers!

Clint is an excellent player in any style. He studied with Howard Roberts as a young man. Many years ago he made an excellent guitar instructional video that I purchased. (No longer in print.) I purchased it not long after it was released. Changed my life as a guitarist. Every now and then I still put it on and am amazed at how much I can grab from it. Sad to say that Clint has never gotten his due. He needs a solo jazz album . (With promotion) from a major jazz label.

I studied with Clint. He can play any jazz tune in any key on the fly, and solo, unbelievably. I actually quizzed him one time for fun. He has relative perfect pitch as well. He transcribed tons of solos over the years. He never plays the same thing twice. MHO, he is one the best Jazz guitarist of all time.

i studied jazz an U of North Texas back in the late '80s. Clint was a already a legend around Texas. He gave a much bootlegged clinic at UNT before I got there. Just a killer old school bebop/swing player. Thanks for showcasing him.

Absolutely smokin' playing. If you asked me to play over a I-IV-V like this , I wouldn't have come up with something like this in a million years. What a gem.

Clint lives just down the road from me. He played my gold top Les Paul at a jam session and believe me, I did not want to pick it up again! He is a jazz guy for sure but Clint can chicken pick as well! Awesome guy too!

There’s a thin line between jazz and country (not talking Western swing which has obvious jazz elements). Buddy Emmons, Hank Garland (whom Benson loved) were both heavy bebop players and totally kicked butt on country. Mark O’Connor’s Swang w New Nashville Cats, Brent Mason, Paul Franklin was awesome in 90s. It just sounds and feels good mixing it up.

Clint was a student of Howard Roberts. His dad raised him to play for Haggard. He is only about 19/20 here.

He shreds that whole concert. Even with more bluesy style soling sometimes.

Hello Clint from Joey Vegas..I really miss seeing you play at the Peppermill in Reno, NV with Freddie Powers! Let's go to NAMM in LA 2021? Thanks for the girl lessons my friend..

Parker apparently loved Country. He’d listen to it, he loved the stories. There’s a reference in the Ken Burns jazz documentary.

Austin City Limits really seems to bring out the best in musicians. Just go watch Eric Johnson’s performance to see what I’m talking about.

Wish I was as fast as you doing this!! Wow! I wore the record out as a kid learning the original solo on the record (which he played on an ovation of all things!) Clint is back playing with Merle's son Ben.
