Throw in Jerry Reed as well.
THANK YOU!
Two of the greatest.

Nice Les Paul as well!
BTW, and not to diminish this performance, I saw Brownsville Station (Smoking in the Boys Room was their one hit) do that live. Tall bass player came up behind the much shorter guitar player.
Almost 50 years ago…and they rocked it.
Someone once asked Jimi Hendrix what it was like to be the best guitar player on Earth. He said, “I don’t know, ask Roy Clark.”
Wildwood Flower--The Carter Family (1929)
The Almanac Singers stole the melody for one of their biggest hits.

When the video ended, another Campbell / Clark video popped up that I found interesting. They are playing "Ghost Riders in the Sky," one of my favorites. The guy who "analyzes" their playing and technique is real personable and it's really neat watching him being amazed by this talent from 50 years ago!
British guitarist analyses Glen Campbell AND Roy Clark AT ONCE!!!
I remember seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn and his brother play the same guitar like this, but IIRC they used a two necked guitar.
That was great. Thanks for posting it.
I remember long ago seeing two guys on TV, one with a guitar and the other with a banjo. They stood beside each other and each reached across so that the one picking the guitar was fingering the chords on the banjo, and vice versa. I wish I could recall who the performers were, or even what show it was, but I still remember the act.
Glen Campbell was an underrated guitarist. I’ve seen some vids of him doing some amazing playing.
