Clyde: Add me to this list of admirers as well!! I really took a liking to your work but then I've been doing that for years... I couldn't make the logo on the guitar but is it one of yours or something else ? Just curious..

Regards, Paul

Paul, we go back don't we? I always enjoy your posts here on the forum. The guitar is an Emmons LeGrande II (black, of course).

Clyde,
What else is left to say except "Ya Done Good". Great picking, a beautiful rendition, and that LeGrande had a Great tone, and was really honking. Kudos for the rest of the band also, everyone did their parts, and it all came out Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing, and please let us hear some more.

If you think the video is electrifying you should have seen it live. This is as good as it gets. Jessica, besides being a beautiful person, has a voice that makes you listen. She was great as was Carroll, Lynn and Bill. A great band.
And Clyde's performance, for lack of a better word, was just fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been blessed to have a hero become one of my best friends.

Thanks to all for the kind words, especially the comments on the band. These are great guys and gal to play music with. We have a lot of fun playing the stuff that we feel deserves another go round.

Great job as always Clyde!I like Billy Have had the great pleasure of a long time friendship with
all these guys and all are fine musicians and fine
people.This is the premier traditional country band
in eastern N.C.,and as for Clyde,he has for the past
forty years been the standard by which we his peers
have measured our successes and failures as steel
pickers.He is a class act on and off the stage.
Thanks Clyde! You are da man!

As good as it gets Clyde, thank you for bringing it to our attention and sharing. Super playing and great band! I knew I should have gotten lessons with my Cherokee.

Bernie Gonyea · Post by **Bernie Gonyea** » 18 Feb 2010 7:33 pm

Clyde : I am in agreement with all these other forumites as to how grand your version of this big PaPa John's hit is . One of the finest versions I have heard to date. And the band is fabulous. An excellent singer , indeed. You all are superb.. Send more of this fine music.. Bernie

Nick Reed · Post by **Nick Reed** » 18 Feb 2010 9:42 pm

just plumb beautiful Clyde, and you played that break so nicely. . . .

Darrell Owens · Post by **Darrell Owens** » 18 Feb 2010 11:02 pm

Clyde,

You just showed us all why we love that Emmons LeGrande. I have owned the PPs, and they are great, but the LeGrande has it's own tone and I love it.

Now, here is my Question - What amp are you playing it through? Your signature says you have a Nashville 112, but I suspect something else on that stage.?

Clyde Mattocks · Post by **Clyde Mattocks** » 19 Feb 2010 7:35 am

Thanks Darrell, it is a NV112. It's back there in the dark, but you can make it out. It's sitting on a small rack that contains a Lexicon Alex that the steel goes thru and a wireless that I use for guitar (tele). Those Fenders you see are guitar amps.

Darrell Owens · Post by **Darrell Owens** » 19 Feb 2010 9:47 am

Clyde,

All I can say is Peavey needs to make you their POSTER BOY for the Nashville 112. It sounds great.

We all know that it takes the right combination to get the right tone. The right guitar, amp, effects, etc. but at the beginning of it all is the touch of the "Master's Hand". You have it, and express it well.

Sam White R.I.P. · Post by **Sam White R.I.P.** » 21 Feb 2010 5:10 pm

Just like always Clyde does a great job every time he plays. I'm honored to be able to say I have known Clyde for about 6 years and he had a bunch of us at a Steel Guitar class and I learned a lot from him.I just can't say enought about his great playing and a great sound and a great person. If only I could do half that good I would be happy.
