Bio
From Meherrin, Virginia Roy moved to Washington, DC
with his family Roy Clark was one of those people
born with the music already in them, a true blessed
musical talent. His first guitar, was a Sears
Silvertone, came as Christmas present when he was
14. Roy began playing bars and clubs in DC on weekends
until he was playing nearly every night
After winning a national banjo contest in 1950, Roy
Clark was invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry
in Nashville, Tennessee. The guitar wizard went on
to tour with some of country music's greatest legends,
such as Hank Williams, Grandpa Jones, Red Foley, Ernest
Tubb and Jimmy Dean, and eventually landing a score on
the television series "Hee-Haw", with co-partner ...
guitarist Buck Owens.
Scince that early time in Roy's carreer, Roy Clark
has become one of the most famous guitarist in history
as his playing style is well know from everything from
his slow ballads such as "Come Live With Me" to his
tasteful work on the song "Ghost Riders In The Sky".
It was Roy's lightning fast guitar fingers on his song
"Roy's Guitar Boogie" that earned him the knickname by
many modern day guitarist who respect Roy's work as the
"Van Halen" of country music.
Guitars Played...
Epiphone, Sheraton, Fender Jazzmaster, Telecaster,
Stratocaster, Gibson
Amplifiers Used...
Standel, Fender, Peavey.
This lesson teaches some of the fundamentals of "Roy's
Guitar Boogie" including select guitar licks from Roy
Clark's lead guitar solo played during this song.
Roy's Guitar Boogie is based upon intervals 1,4
and 5 drived from E major diatonic scale, which
is commonly reffered to as a 3 chord progression.
In the key of E, this provides the chord pattern
and basic outline of E,A and B.
As taught below "Roy Clarks Guitar Solo Lick's"
are based upon scales & theory and Roy's ability
to know the difference between each major and minor
scale and or chord when played as a lead guitar solo.
