"You want to play it fast night now!" Yeah, I know that feeling. I still have it.
But if you can't, "You must reconsider."
Good stuff.
-
That's a great clip. I saw it years ago when transcription seemed so scary. Now it feels like home!
-
hadn't seen this one. i've always liked clint's seminar stuff.
-
Never heard of Clint, but I like him. Anyone want to recommend a record or performance?
There was a related clip of "San Antonio Rose" where he was sounding like Les Paul. On an Ovation no less. Which serves as a demonstration on why we should worry more about our playing and less about our guitar
He seems like a real character.
-
Here's a clip of Clint as a teenager with a large jazz band. Impressive!
-
This may be the clip morekiller was talking about.
-
A jazzy lesson. Dude can play!

Rory is scary good too.
-
Yeah, I love that clip of him at NAMM with Kenny Burrell.
-
Never listened to Clint before, great player. He does seem a little odd in the 2015 vid though, wonder if he's on meds or something.
-
In that clip with Rory---an hour show---Clint talks about a trilogy of books by Howard Roberts called "Praxis." Anyone familiar with it?

I first became aware of Clint when he was Merle Haggards guitar player. Merle loves him some jazz. Merle and his band are the only country artists to ever grace the cover of Downbeat Magazine.
Clint is a Bopper in Cowboy Boots...

Here is Clint in an instructional video (I'm not sure what song he's referring to) breaking down the chord substitutions he's using, then playing over those changes. Some mighty tasty playing...

I knew OF Clint when I was in high school in Houston. My best friend was a bass player that I grew up with, and in high school he went to magnet arts there in Houston and he came back from the state competition (It might even have been '82, the year of that clip) telling me about this skinny long haired white boy in Dallas that could play Parker tunes like nobody's business.
Then there was a year that Jack got Clint to come to North Texas, and we had one of Jack's classes together. Since he was good friends with my buddy, I got to be around sometimes when Clint was just hanging out, and he really is a fun guy to be around. I never played with him, but there were a couple times I just happened to be around when there was a heavy jam session and hearing Clint play in a setting like that...man, just unbelievable
I always thought Clint was the best jazz guitar player of my generation
-
I always enjoy my encounters with Clint Strong videos and songs, as well as at local guitar shows when he makes an appearance.
For anyone in this area that might want to study with him, last I heard he is still teaching at Lamb's Music in Fort Worth, Texas.

According to Facebook, today (14 March) is Clint's birthday. If you follow him there, you might want to wish him a happy birthday.
