Yeah, I'm stunned by the crap you can find at Youtube, as well. And you thought Pete Townsend invented violent strumming and Eddie Van Halen created slap picking during the intro to "Mean Street." Guess again, motherfuckers...

Roy Clark is a MASTER guitar player...............
BRILLIANT!!!
I was surprised to find out not too long ago that Roy was the guitar player on many of those early Wanda Jackson sessions. Seems Roy cut his teeth on rockabilly. Don't know who Wanda Jackson is? Then your life must suck.
Pretty badass...
Roy is a bad ass player ! He could be on every top 10 list. But the rock guys seem to always be up there. Along with the guy I'm watching right now. Roy Buchanan. Tele badass.
The dude was a monster guitarist.......Hee Haw aside, the man had excellent chops!

I actually liked Hee Haw had some good comedy and I got to see Roy play every week and Buck Owens could play some mean guitar...Chet Atkins guested... Glen Cambell and lots more country guitarists that could flat out show most rock guitarists, a lesson in humility.
Banjo greats and just some damn fine work on that show.
It was that or Lawerence Welk on Sat, evenings...oh the days of 3 television stations....500 now and still nothing on..lol.
2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke
clara the tiny giraffe make fur curve
I think in it's heyday Hee Haw was the most profitable show on television. It was a dirt cheap show to produce but always pulled great ratings. That show ran for a long time.
Oh god. Lawrence Welk. We would have Sunday dinner at my grandmother's house and the adults would watch Lawrence Welk. I remember Lawrence was doing candid Geritol commercials on the show. I always wondered what that crap in the bottle was he was pitching. I couldn't stand it. It was time to get out of there.

Damn fine musicians in Welks orchestra also but the repeating sweet sugar HUGE HUGE smile while you sing thing got to me also.
I knew a old German guy here in KC he is passed now, but he played for the GI's ,accordian, as a 14 year old..
after the liberation of Berlin in WWII and immigrated to America after the war and joined the US Army served in Korea, as a musician and soldier, then played his accordian all his life in big bands all over the world, and played in Welks band for a while.
He was a real imigrant sucess story a was one of the most respected accordian players in the country.
The stories and people, you can learn about in a old drinking bar.
Talent is everywhere in the musical world country guitarists to fook'n orchestra accoridian players.
Dude's a monster. There's a reason why on Hee Haw Roy was the one "pickin'", while Buck Owens just sat there "grinnin''. Just sayin'.
Being older and more mature, I can't deny the talent on Lawerence Welk, but to a young kid, the cheese production factor was scary as hell. It made me want to run and hide. The old people would drink their Geritol, get horny and peruse each other on the dance floor with the Lawrence Welk music playing. I didn't need any of that.
Horrifying just horrifying!

Here's Roy ripping a Gibson Byrdland another one. You have to love the sequined suit the other guy is wearing. LOL! Dave probably would wear that.
Roy tearing it up on Hee Haw. You have to love the dancing cartoon pigs in this one.
Yeah, it was horrifying. Still use the show here in Hell to torment people, in fact. But you can't deny there were some great moments of comedy on the Lawrence Welk show. Most of them not intended as such.....
Eternally Under the Authority of Satan
Face it. We watched Hee Haw because of the Hee Haw Honey's. They had it all figured out. Some big names, good music, hot ass, and some jokes.
Yes is is way too layed back...
Think how hard it is for the Rolling Stones to stay together or other 4 or 5 piece rock and roll combos Welk and his type of a band had to keep 30 egos in check to get the gig played .....
and those old fooks on the dance floor made M'erica save from the nazis and rooled the world on the WW 2
lol...
This was my favorite Lawrence Welk song. It meant the shit was over.
The Soviet Union version of Lawrence Welk. I bet the KGB put this to good use.
I got 3/4 thru that and then I knew suicide was trully the only answer........OH SHIT!!!...lol.
KGB plot to use music as a cold war weapon...that was creepy ...la la la oh oh oh e e e e that is the lyrics..oh the kill in that!!
Bond wouldn't be able to foil that plot of world domination!!!
P.S. I actually have some big brass and strings , bands,/ albums from the 40's Glen Miller type stuff it is awesome..Buddy Rich on drums... swing ..and Doris Day using the mic like a she tiger...great stuff. Don't tell anybody.
Buck left the "pickin" to Don Rich.....who was a TELE MASTER!Dude's a monster. There's a reason why on Hee Haw Roy was the one "pickin'", while Buck Owens just sat there "grinnin''. Just sayin'.
Don died in a motorcycle accident in the early 70's....Buck said his career died with DON.....so many of the Country pickers of today site DON RICH as a major influence
CLASSIC BAKERSFIELD SOUND
I like the trollface version better. Just fits.
I remember reading about Don Rich in GP when I was a kid, though..
I was reading an interview with Marty Stuart...& he was singing Don's praise....then his name came up in a Vince Gill interview.....I like the trollface version better. Just fits.
I remember reading about Don Rich in GP when I was a kid, though..
I checked him out.....THE TELE tone of the 60's.................
He still can hit that crazy "Slim Whitman" high note. The kind of high note you let out when the sex is good.
Porter Wagoner, you mean ??
That clip was from the Porter Wagoner show...
These are all shit compared to the best bit of guitar playing you will ever see in a 1970s TV show...

Little known fact: Steve Austin was a HIGHLY underrated shredder.
yeah, underrated because they always played it in slow motion.Little known fact: Steve Austin was a HIGHLY underrated shredder.
I hope Steve Austin has a bionic dick because if he slaps the salami like he plays the guitar he is going to need one.
The funniest thing is the way that the notes go up in pitch as they speed up the tape.
And yet his left hand stayed in the open position...
Well since the Odd Couple show ran from 1970 to 1975, it's not out the realm of possibility that Ed seen this and it inspired him to incorporate it into his playing.
Pretty sure EVH has stated in multiple interviews that he got the idea for slapping ala "mean Street" from funk bass players like Larry Graham.
I don't recommend anyone go back and watch the 6 Million Dollar Man, best left as a childhood memory it has not aged well.
The last one I saw had a ridiculous fight with a large rubber alligator
It should have been very funny but as it was one of my fave programs back in the day I just found it sad.
I guess that's why you don't see it rerun very often(well not here anyway).
That show was on after school. It's one of those shows you look back on and go,"No wonder we are so fucked up. We grew up watching this shit."
Ed was heavily into Peter Gabriel and the guitarist in Genesis(Steve Hackett?) was tapping and making triplets with it in '73.
LOL. Speaking of after school, does anybody remember the AfterSchool Special "stoned" with Scott Baio.
the guy was a nobody and then he starts smoking pot and he's funny and everybody thought he was cool. What kind of message were they sending? He also giggled like a fool but he was popular. Fucked up show.
the 6 million dollar man clip is hilarious!
I think she is wearing Starsky's sweater in that clip ! He had the same one. lol.These are all shit compared to the best bit of guitar playing you will ever see in a 1970s TV show...
