Three of the greatest country guitarists of all time right there: Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, and Chet Atkins.

[@dennisshaper4744]

Glen is a true legend. A session guitar player with a bunch of guys called the wrecking Crew. Played on everyone from Frank Sinatra, Elvis to the Monkees and the Beach Boys. Toured briefly as a Beach Boy filling in for Brian Wilson, before going solo. He was a major hit, had his own extremely popular music TV show.

When you see how all the great artists on stage with him were mesmerized by him, you can see why Glen Campbell was so huge in the 60's and 70's. Right off I recognized Waylon Jennings, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, and Ray Stevens (the man he talked to while playing). Others on stage with him were Chet Atkins, Lorrie Morgan, Lynn Anderson, Bobby Bare, T. Graham Brown, Ralph Emery, Janie Fricke, Barbara Fairchild, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Geezinslaw Brother, Ferlin Husky, Dan Seals, T.G. Sheppard, B.J. Thomas, Ricky Van Shelton, Porter Wagoner, and Gene Watson. Some more great songs are "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Southern Nights", "Rhinestone Cowboy", "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", and his cover of "Yesterday, When I Was Young"

This was some of country's best talent... I saw Bobby Baer, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Ray Stevens, Crystal Gayle, Willie Nelson... There were more for sure... Glen was quite a talent... He actually toured with the beach boys in 1965... In 1967 or 68 he had the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour which we watched as a family for a couple of years... Glenn started as a studio musician for artists like Elvis Presley and many more... Definitely a heck of a guitar player too... Great reaction guys... Keep being awesome !!!...

One of greatest guitarists ever. He was once a beach boy and a member of the wrecking crew. Wrecking crew were session musicians out of LA that played on many many hits.

[@richdiddens4059]

And he never learned to read music. He learned to play totally by ear, often after a single listen.

This is the correct video... Haha. Glen was one of the greatest guitar player ever. Glen and a guy named Roy Clark paved the way for guitarists.

Glenn had early onset alzheimer disease and was able to do a nearly 2 year international Goodbye Tour using muscle memory. He started playing guitar at age 4 and was on the radio by age 6. His last recording honoring alzheimer was I Won't Miss You and was nominated and received several awards.

[@garybradford8332]

My father used to play guitar with him at the world's famous Palomino Club in North Hollywood. Every legend on that stage likely played there too. He once told me "If you ever see Willie Nelson, tell him you're my son.' I regret I never had the opportunity to do so.

[@kurtsaxton823]

Glenn and all the people that are watching him, are by far the best that music has ever offered... Not just country music.

Glenn is a country icon, his guitar skills were second to none. And his final years were lost to Alzheimer’s. He ended up having to stop performing, but the early stages of it being onstage brought his memory back! RIP Glenn, and hopefully there is a place where all these lost Icons are jamming together. Like in Rock and roll heaven by the righteous brothers!

sometimes you have to watch an artist at work to understand their greatness. I always thought of Glen Campbell as a kind of pop, country artist but had heard that he was a great guitarist too. I had to see this video to realize how great he was

[@jackishman7707]

It's amazing to see Glen Campbell play CLASSICAL GAS on guitar. He does such a great job on it. You should watch that. Also in the 70s, he had his own show, filled with stars making cameos.

[@riccottrell7179]

I'm 67 & still a long haired rocker, young at heart. Glen was my first idol & helped shape the way I sing. He was the first Country & Pop crossover star. Keep in mind he's playing like that on an acoustic guitar. Eddie Van Halen asked Glen's golf partner Alice Cooper to see if he could arrange guitar lessons from Glen. Jimmy Webb songs launched both their careers. Glen was an intrical part of the Wrecking Crew he could play anything & sing anything. He had a summertime show when the Smothers brothers summer break. It helped launch his career. If you tro see him do amazing guitar work checkout his version of the 'William Tell overture, which he does on an electric 12 string. Glen had a unique way of using a pick & his other fingers to pluck strings. His first hit was the one you saw, then 'By the time I get to Phoenix his first Jimmy Webb song, Wichita lineman & Galveston the last 2 being picked as 2 of the best Country songs ever recorded or released. Again Jimmy Webb songs.His biggest hits were Rhinestone cowboy again like the song you played Glen had an ear for how a song should sound, always making it his. Southern nights mainly cuz a decade later there were a lot more people in the Country & Vietnam was over. My favorite album wasn't a commercial hit but Reunion with all Jimmy Webb songs the best 'The moon's a harsh mistress' sung by many, but none better than Glen. He sang with Cher Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, David Gates of Bread the principal songwriter & singer of Bread. He literally could sing & play anything he wanted to & without a care in the world, he was that talented. His last song which he won a Grammy for was 'Im not gonna miss you' after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's & toured with 3 of his kids in the band, his daughter Ashley has written songs & had success. He was either in stage 2 or 3 & Dr's didn't think he'd last on your more than a couple weeks to a month. With his daughter Ashley who studied music plays guitar, keyboards & banjo truly helped him stay in the moment. A documentary was filmed during the tour called 'I'll be me' Glen starred in True Grit with John Wayne & Glen joked that John proved to the academy, that if he could carry Glen's sorry ass in a movie, he deserved an Oscar. Personally like the Rock & roll hall of shame, there's too much BS, politics & ass kissing. Glen didn't cuss that's me. Lol! One of his best vocals which shows his range is his version of Conway Twitty's 'Only make believe' Now when you get serious about Grand Funk & their principal songwriter Mark Farner I can give you every song on every album & who wrote what. They never had critical acclaim. But from 1969 to 74+75 nobody sold more LP's. They sold out Shea stadium in 72 hours same way of selling tickets & it took the Beatles 2 weeks & they had radio, TV & every teenage girl just about in the US, Britain & the world. Mark toured with Ringo's All star band for 2 years & at 76 in still going strong & still singing in the same keys. I played at least 12 of their songs from 1975 in Spain till cancer cut my music career & any other career short in 93. But I proved every Dr & specialist wrong & continue to. I'm too mean for cancer to have a chance. Lol! It was my 9 & 12 year old son's & my wife who stayed sober for 33 years & my research. I found the treatment protocol & Oncologist to beat stage 3 Melanoma @ the base of my neck 36 square CM's removed by a hack general surgeon who used a cauterizer, instead of calling in the plastic surgeon like he promised if he removed anything larger than a thumb around. Never mentioned King Kong~ But I'm here & have my home studio which keeps me semi sane. Lol! Love your channel & know just about every artist you do. I played everything from the 50's to 90's my oldest loved Hip hop & Rap & my youngest hard rock. 90's till 2005. 2015 I lost my oldest son he was first an Insane clown Posse fan then Tech 9. He was allowed back stage with them anytime they were in the Phoenix Valley. But he had his Dad's songs on his playlist as well. There's nothing in life harder than losing a child. Don't think you guys are there yet, but never let them leave without a hug & an I love you. My only solace in life. Doesn't hurt to do the same with each of you. Didn't have any effect on my marriage, it was a family curse that his her in her early 50's. Luckily I met her in Spain at 16 when I was 17. Life goes on or you get your ass runover~ I think that was Ed Sullivan Lol!

My mom took me to see Glenn at Starlight Musicals Butler University in Indianapolis when I was fourteen.He was amazing. As you might tell with a name like Campbell he was of Scottish heritage.

Never had a lesson and yet, was one of the most recognized and respected guitarists who could play any genre (like Roy Clark who was sitting there too). Glen played for The Wrecking Crew, a loosely organized, rotating group of session musicians who play on just about everyone who was anyone's recordings in the 60's. In fact, he was the guitarist on many Beach Boys songs and even toured with them from time-to-time. Glen was a virtuoso by all measures and standards.

That beautiful woman in blue on his right is Crystal Gayle, Loretta Lynn's little sister. That stage is covered with country music legends and every one of them is sitting back quietly giving himthe spotlight while deeply loving every note... that should tell you where Glen Campbell fits into the picture. He literally shut up Waylon & Willie, something most people thought impossible. Arguably the single greatest guitarist to ever hit the stage, although Roy Clark (black shirt, curly hair) could give him a run for his money even on a bad day. I have seen them perform together on stage and it was nothing short of miraculous.

Glen is a legend. He was a member of 'The Wreaking Crew' a group of L.A. Studio Musicians known to be the Best of the Best at making music. If it came out of the LA area in the 60's and 70's these guys were probably the musicians behind the magic. He was pretty much an honorary Beach Boy too. I loved his hourly TV show for a couple of years too. I see some awesome suggestions here. I'll add 'Dreams of the Everyday Housewife' and 'Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.)' as 2 more awesome tunes. Cheers.

Glen was truly one of the greatest musicians of his time. He played in studio on recording for many, many artists including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Beach Boys, Sammy Davis, Jr., Elvis and many others. He struggled with alcoholism and had a very severe cocaine addiction in the 1970s. In the late 1960s and early 1970s he hosted his own weekly television variety show "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" that I remember watching each week. Sadly, in the 2010s he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and suffered with the disease until his 2017 passing.

[@michaelp.7893]

Glen bridged country and pop music in the 1960s and '70s as well as anyone ever has. I strongly recommend these 3 songs: "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston" (about a Vietnam war soldier who misses his town and the girl he left behind and wonders if he'll ever reunite with either of them again) and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" (a heartbreaking account of a man who finally leaves a relationship after trying to do many times). A+

[@joel65913]

He was highly esteemed within the music industry. Though he rose to his highest prominence in the country world as others have said when he was a member of the Wrecking Crew he played on a huge variety of different bands recordings. His peak period as far as mass appeal was the early 70's when he had his own variety show-The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, which used Gentle on My Mind as its theme song-for several years. It was a fascinating and true variety show is the amazing array of guests he had on throughout the run. Anyone from Johnny Cash, The Monkees and a just starting out Linda Ronstadt to Liza Minnelli, Cher, Tony Bennett or John Wayne would pass through sometimes on the same program. The series streams on various channels and is well worth checking out. Many of his biggest hits has a forlorn, plaintive quality similar to this song. "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" all were enormous hits that share that vibe and towards the end of that decade he scored again with "Southern Nights" and one of his biggest successes "Rhinestone Cowboy".

[@kimzwolinski9919]
