Even though not quite my style, he's probably the most underrated player of all time imo

I grew up in the HEE HAW era. Parents watched that show every night. Looking back on some of the amazing players that came through there is mind blowing.

For some northern suburban reason, I never saw Hee Haw, but it is clear that there was more than Pre -Foxworthy redneck humor going on ......Did Albert Lee ever perform there?

Love me some Roy Clark. Thought he might clip off the end of his tongue there in haste.

 

[Geezerjohn]

That was awesome. Such a great player, AND entertainer. There;s chicken picken and then theres frickin picken. That was some frickin pickin'.

 

[Rhodes]

A bit of pseudo tapping for a brief moment.

 

[Stratman68]

His picking hand control is amazing...don't see it that as much here. His version of Malaguena shows a bit of what I mean......The guy was special....He's NOT a country guitar player, he is a "guitar player"....

 

[Stratman68]

Love to have that guitar he's playin"

Roy was always one of my favorites.

Had some friends who could rip too:

Roy can play with phenomenal speed, technique, phrasing and feeling. And he always looks like he's having so damn much fun.
