What a tragedy that Clarence was killed in this year, 1973. Such a young man and a superb player. Not to be forgotten

[sc00tisan]

my uncle wayne moore played with him in Nashville West. he's one of my biggest influences.

Clarence inspires all of our band.

Just got that book too - it's wonderful, a real labour of love. I felt that it was a real and intimate portrait of the White family, felt almost part of them. Clarence plays like an angel.

What a treat to be able to view such a fantastic talent sure do miss Clarence.

I'm old enough to recall when Baxter had a monthly column in Guitar Player magazine, teaching "beginner" stuff. Pretty decent. I was just starting to learn guitar then (mid 70s) and I read every column.

However, he apparently suffered severely from stage fright. He gave up performing and set up a series of workshops for players with the same problem.

As for Clarence... Fantastic picker. Shame he was taken so early.

[jwlloyd76]

Clarence... unreal.

[Garraliposker]

What can be better than this, folks...pure magic! 5 stars to Clarence!! 

[browser007200]

Pure Magic! Thanks a lot , it's inspiring for us uk folks..to appreciate with a warm smile and a glow..

[HugeGene]

Don't know what his right hand technique was.. but it's what makes the sound sooo smooth in the transitions

[anitadavideduo]

@dowhatthouwilt911 That's one of the best comments I've ever read on YouTube LOL!

[danlashbrookgtrsetup]

Back in 1989 I won 1st place in the Alaska state flatpick contest with Alabama jubilee (Clarences version). One of his many greats.

@gogokomasuke2000 .....damn straight skip!

I work with Clarence's daughter Michelle....she's a nice girl. Because I'm younger, I didn't know much about Clarence except that he played for The Byrds. That was until I met Michelle at work one day. Man, this guy is a legend. He practically pioneered flattop lead guitar.

[flatpikinguitar]

yep him and doc

[bluegrass4me1]

That's awesome. You tell MIchelle that her Dad still influences people! My favorite in the area, Mark Bilyeu really turned me onto his picking.

[nailswood]

I think that the simplest songs are sometimes the hardest to play, how to flesh out the simple melody. It's what seperates the great ones from the good ones. Clarence proves this here.

[bigredridinhood]

Looks easy, huh? Just try to play it like that.....amazing!

[TQ120]

That's it You got me ! !

 i subbed to the channel.

[badjiman]

PLEASE POST MORE OF THIS DVD THANKS

[artstar193]

Clarence is incredible: anyone who's interested in his playing needs to check out the new "Essential Clarence White" book. It's really wonderful, and a product of love. Clarence's playing here is off the charts. Shame that Bob Baxter doesn't seem to be attempting to sing with any conviction or accurate pitch... but still, it's Clarence! 5/5!

[DisposableHero187]

i think Bob is not singing so well cause he is trying so hard to figure out what the hell clarence is doing at the time. haha

[terrygold]

Great guitarist! Clarence White (on the left) was one of the best bluegrass, country and rock guitarists ever. I just got the book "the essential clarence white" book in the mail this week, so I'm enjoying these old videos as I work through the book. Thanks Roland White and Diane Bouska for putting the book together and sharing Clarence with the world.

[wagarcarey]

great guitar.
