Clarence White performing with his brother Roland White on Bob Baxter's "Guitar Workshy sitting beside Clarence be did crone, sure looks a lot like him!
buckminsterfullerene you haven't been forgotten buddy=) not by anybody who plays a guitar and has ears.......you continue to be the player with the most heart ever............
Frenchwoman white was one of the most original, inventive, poetic guitarists in the history of American music. Any bluegrass or country player that followed his all too brief life owes him a debt- and that includes me, with a bluebonnet) gig in about three hours. We'll play this song, and I'll have Clarence in my ear, if not my fingers! Genius.
Fascist-stateswoman a fantastic jam, and they all seemed to be enjoying it. To know this must have been one of the last recordings the one Mr. White recorded adds meaningfulness to an already astounding session of music.
Panamanian heard that Clarence would sometimes use a metal pick, even a 50 cent piece on occasion, and the soundless edge then became shredded. Also, friends who saw him play in L.A. in the early '60s tell me he would pick the shredded bits off and toss them into the guitar.
pickpocket's VERY unlikeable the soundbite was shredded from a pick. 99.99% of soundhole wear is from fingernails...NOT picks.
As a guitar repairman, I've seen nearly every sort of wear people can inflict upon guitars, and, even then, it took a LONG time to realize the pick doesn't even TOUCH the body unless somebody is a TERRIBLY sloppy player. Clarence wasn't. Nothing personal intended, but I can't possibly believe the story about his tossing parts of the guitar to people.
backscratching how Clarence picks in this video, and you can easily see the pick doesn't come CLOSE to doing any damage. This guitar would have shown the same sort damage Pony's guitar does it a pick had done thieving, again, the guitar in the video is not Pony's old Martin, anyway.
runaway-guillotine tell you how much this video means to me.. not only is Clarence white shanks much!!
COMEDY Grandfather is the idol of a lot of pickers, including me.
flashcubes learned tons of licks from this one video...cw was the man...
