DC Ron Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Here's one I had not noticed. Roy on his signature Heritage model (plus armrest) with Joe Pass on his 175. Very cool except for the talking over the playing. Love the way Joe goes from pick to fingers to thumb and back several times. Very cool. Did I say that?
DC Ron Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 Just noticed that if you YouTube "roy clark 1993" a grunch of similar videos come up of these two at it. Priceless.
golferwave Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Excellent!! Now that's some fancy pickin...those boys really know their way around the ole fingerboard!! A couple of real masters!!
Scooter Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Sweet stuff. Funny, whenever I hear Roy Clark speak it's along the lines of comfort food for me. Must be from watching Hee-Haw in the 70's.
tulk1 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Maybe I'm the odd man out here. Or I just lack a certain savoir fare. But while Roy was pickin' a melody that I could follow I was really groovin' on that jam. Especially when JP had to pick his nose and played the walking chord line without picking his guitar or strumming. But once they left the normal plane of existence, they lost me. It just became a conconphony of jazz runs, seemingly without context. In my simple mind, anyway. Perhaps that is why the finer points of Jazz are lost on me.

Know how you feel, the Grateful Dead have that effect on me. Always lose them at about the 5:00 mark. But I figure 50,000 Deadheads can't be wrong...
fxdx99 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Nice stuff - thanks for the post Ron. Kenny, check out this one... more blues based. I think I figured out - close study of these shows ya just need split blocks to play like that
