OK I gotta add one, I just watched it yesterday, two of my all time favorite guitar players, Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark.

Ghost Riders in the Sky. Campbell is playing an Ovation 12 string, the only one I’ve ever seen. I played the 6 string version in the 70’s a few times, never knew a 12 string existed, the one he played on William Tell Overture is a Hamer 12 string, I’ll have to watch again but it looks like it may be set up 6 string, I think the Ovation here is all 12 strings and he’s playing killer leads. Not easy to do, I’ve tried it many times. Most people don’t know it, but Glenn Campbell was one of the most popular studio guitarists of the 60’s.

And now that I got into Roy Clark, this is one of the very best acoustic guitar songs I’ve ever heard, Roy Clark on the “Odd Couple” TV show.

Almost as good as Eric Johnson...

These two were my favorites when I was a kid learning guitar, I watched Hee Haw all the time even though I hated it, just to see Roy Clark play. Both are monster guitar players, and when Campbell had John Hartford on his show it was always good. Roy Clark can also play just about anything..guitar, piano, banjo and I’m not sure what else...Campbell probably can too, I’ve only seen him play guitar.

If you like either or both, look them up on youtube, I’ve seen several great clips of Roy Clark, and I just checked out one of Glenn Campbell and John Hartford doing Foggy Mountain Breakdown that was very good.
