Glen Campbell - Gentle on My Mind (terrific guitar break)

[@davidsanderson5918]

No sorry, I don't agree they're 'mesmerised'. That's a non-muso's observation. Those singers, artists and musicians are enjoying it out of recognition....recognising a fellow muso who's speaking their language. Not unlike someone enjoying a friend's re-telling of a joke they already know.

When you're playing your guitar, and Roy Clark is watching closely, then that means you're a great guitar player.

[@ernstpassmannrockabilly2325]

Yea. Thats my Opinion

Roy and Glenn played together many times. They compliment each other very well.

[@Erics5th]

If Roy Clark is watching you in awe, you know your good.

[@bradleyallen533]

My takeaway was that fellow great guitarist, Roy Clark, who has intermittently played with Glen Campbell over the years, was being a good sport but was all the while wishing he would have been part of this performance too. However, you could be right!

[@mwolfod]

I agree, my take as well. More than anything it appeared to me,that the immensely gifted Roy Clark was yearning to play along with his friend.

[@johnfunchion]

i agree too... he was itching to play but he stood back to let his friend play something what will never be repeated... you cant beat 'live' when you see those expressions... bye the way who is the girl with the nice smile and shortish brown hair... she is on timeline at 2:02... thank you.

Graham Brown, Ralph Emery, Janie Fricke, Barbara Fairchild, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Ray Stevens, Geezinslaw Brother, Ferlin Husky, Dan Seals, T.G. Sheppard, B.J.

Yes, I can believe that. He’s from a musical family and played since he was a boy. Childhood is the best time to learn a musical instrument. The relationship between a child’s brain and training the connections in the young nervous system make it the perfect time to learn. It all becomes so ingrained in a way that is very difficult - perhaps impossible - to achieve as an adult. Of course he was talented on top of it!

[@atonyment]

I've probably watched this clip hundreds of times over the years. It pops up in my recommended videos every couple of weeks, and I always watch it when that happens. Without fail, each time Campbell gets to the end of his solo I'm just as elated as everyone in that room were. I love his smile at 1:56 just as he's finishing it. It looks like he's thinking "Damn, I'm good." And he was. Sheer brilliance on display.

[@rossie714]

Same here, buddy. There’s an excellent analysis and breakdown of the solo on the WingsofPegasus KZbin site. He talks of Glen’s ability to hit every note with his right hand when playing up-tempo pieces on acoustic, which is incredibly hard to do, but which Glen does effortlessly. It makes every note emphatic. His dexterity is amazing, but really amazes me is that he couldn’t read music and played strictly ear. Wow.

[@atonyment]

The Wings of Pegasus video was very good. I had no idea he couldn't read music. That makes it so much more impressive. Makes me want to learn how to play an instrument... I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually. Fingers crossed! Imagine if you could become even a tenth as good as Campbell.

It's all about how it comes across, and Glen's music came across gentle on your mind. Like he said, he can play whatever any other great guitar player plays sometime better than they can. He has a natural talent that many people may have for different things, but he, like Kurt Warner, NFL Hall of Fame Speech 2017, took advantage of every opportunity and dreamed big! What a great person from Arkansas. He just wanted to play his music and please the listeners, and he certainly did that. RIP Glen!

[@juvenilehall1979]

Dear Sir, thanks for the nice post and remarks. I first got to meet Glen in 1961 !!!! He was a session guitarist and vocalist. My Mom, Dad and Brother and I were coming back to San Jose, CA from South Dakota. We stopped into "Billie Jean's Hair & Nail Salon" in Albuq., NM There was a guy sitting in the back corner just playing his butt off on his guitar. My Dad said, this young man is great. I went over and introduced myself and family. He told me in the summer of 1961 - he wanted to be a professional singer. Years later in 1964, after I had meant the Righteous Brothers, Hal Blaine and The Wrecking Crew - which Glen was a member of , did I get the total picture. He got paid $35.00 a day to play guitar on albums of very famous people. Everyone at Gold Coast studios, starting with Sonny & Cher knew he'd be a BIG star, and he became one. I saw him in concert at least 50-60+ times, just like I did with The Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. You can imagine that I never had to buy a ticket after about 1966 - it was all "on the house." I saw Glen go thru his ups and downs - as did with others. I loved Bobby Hatfield (1940-2003). I collect celebrity autographs thus, after you ask say, Neil Diamond, 25-40 times to sign an autograph they sorta remember you and you form a "fan /celebrity" relationship." Glen and The Righteous Bros - were my all-time favorites. I also got to meet Jimmy Layne Webb at least 20+ times and the list goes on. He is literally God's gift to my generation as one of the greatest singer-songwriter-composers - just look him up and see of of the GREAT songs he wrote. He was NEVER too busy to talk to any fan or sign autographs, pose for pictures, he was just such a fine Christian gentleman. Thanks again and I hope I didn't bore you. I could write a book about my collecting adventures and the "friendships" that I made while collecting. Not all celebrities are nice to the fans - TRUST ME.... SOME PEOPLE THE PUBLIC WORSHIP'S ARE SO RUDE AND MEAN YOU NEVER GUESS IT WHEN YOU WATCH THEM ON TV OR IN A FILM. BUT I WON'T GO THERE AND PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. MOST celebrities, IF approached the right way - will sign autographs pose for pictures. All of my old autograph friends - where we'd go out collecting together - at night - gosh we'd start 5:00 PM and end up staying out until 6:00 AM. Picked up Frank Sinatra one night after waiting 10 hours. He was such a nice gentleman - it was his bodyguards, just doing their jobs, trying to keep us away from him - when he would actually tell them to back off and let him sign. He'd see us when he went into have dinner and then their late night poker game. Then more partying - but when he walked outta the club/restaurant - he immediately remember the faces that had been standing in the cold for 10 hours for one autograph and he would ALWAYS sign. I will say this Danny Thomas and James Garner were two of kindness celebrities I've ever gotten to know. They just loved the fans. Mr and Mrs. Ronald Reagan long before his was the President of the United States and Nancy was first lady - they were such classy people to the very end. It didn't get any better than them. President Reagan, even after he got outta office would sign autographs and just talk to us fans about sports ... it was great. He had a GREAT lsugh that I can still hear to this day.

Most people know Glen Campbell as a singer, but this guy was actually a WORLD-CLASS guitar player. He was amazing.

+Robert Phillips A lot of people ( myself included ) are only just discovering this, having only ever heard him on the radio.

[@bman3020]

+Bob Upanddowne Check out his solo of "Aint no sunshine" here on YT. Just search for it. One of the best solos I have ever witnessed.

[@robertphillips3681]

Hey Bob I apologize !! Glad you discovered him!!!!::)))

[@MsKimbo1959]

+123Rockchild He began his career as a studio musician.

[@mikeoneill7685]

What a guitar genius this man was, rest in peace Glen.

[@LD-bv1pm]

One of the finest singers ever, and his guitar skills were other worldly.

[@jesusqueriapa8655]

Fun fact glen campbell taught a couple of lessons to eddie van halen that's how good of a guitarist glen is easily in my top 10

[@ethanweeter2732]

Nice voice, nice looking, great guitar player. Great Entertainer too.

[@desertmulehunter]

@@jesusqueriapa8655 not a fact tho, Eddie wanted time with Glen but never got it.

[@graehamhudd985]

You got that right

[@paulbrereton4137]

There's a famous story of Eddie Van Halen of once asking Alice Cooper, who was a good friend of Glen's, to book Eddie a guitar lesson with Glen.

I never go a week without listening to this masterpiece. When I chill this is where you'll find me. Glen Campbell was one of a kind.

[@stevepennington7879]

I listen to this almost every night . A master of guitar and vocals. What a talent!!

[@jimestep560]

Gentle On My Mind is one of the greatest pieces of American poetry ever. Add in superb musicianship and vocals, and this is what we get.

[@stevehanford1753]

agree!!!

[@catofthecastle1681]

Many kudos to Jimmy Webb!

[@jimestep560]

​@@catofthecastle1681 Why Jimmy Webb? John Hartford wrote the song.

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

Agreed.

[@merlehaggard2696]

Jim very well said. And Glen is underrated. Perhaps the most talented country singer of all time. Of course along with Merle.

[@ScootersGroove0801]

He blew the room up. What a great performance.

[@Mark-bq1sy]

nothing like stumbling upon gold like this while putting around youtube.

[@Chris-kw6fs]

There is so much excellent content here you could spend years watching and listening!!!

[@charlesgoede2809]

you got that right!

[@alisonp3398]

Chet Atkins!! I hope these days come back again. I’ve loved country music since I heard “Fancy” by Reba on my grandpa’s radio in his ‘79 Pontiac LeMans in the 80’s. Living in New Jersey and liking country music did not make me popular, but I wouldn’t trade a day of it! Bless all of those that have come before for showing us the true spirit of country music 🙏❤️
