Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell - fingerstyle guitar - Jake Reichbart - lesson available!

[@craigbrowning9448]

I had the same Classical Music Theory instructor at Chabot College in Hayward, CA as Jimmy Webb (probably a couple of decades later) in the 1980s, the guy's name was Otto Mielenz.

[@chasrime1]

It has a beautiful sound. Appropriate compliment for the artist.

[@JakeReichbart]

+chasrime1 Thanks very much! :-) Please feel free to share! :-)

[@charlescaldwell9457]

Your comment was quite right. G Campbell was an extremely accomplished guitarist and I'm sure even he would have been impressed with the beautiful chordal embellishments.

[@ginablackwell7181]

Guitar sounds sweet!

[@rsm155]

Man you sure now how to make that guitar sing...you are very skilled and polished musician..the best I have heard...thanks for sharing.

[@JakeReichbart]

You very much and please feel free to share further :-)

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

Jake: As always, your playing and arrangement are superb. Very sweet new guitar. It speaks for you like an old friend, an extension of your soul. Although logistics and health will not permit this, meeting you and experiencing your playing from arms-length top my bucket list. I doubt you can imagine the depth to which your playing reaches your fans. Thank you for continuing to share your gift, talent, and and hard work. God Bless you, Jake.

[@JakeReichbart]

[@DonMitchell50]

Beautiful new guitar. I have a handmade small body archtop as well made by Oregon luthier Stephen Holst, but I'm afraid mine just hangs on the wall as I'm playing nylon exclusively these days. I too am a life-long Glen Campbell fan. When I was a boy his TV show was required watching in my house since both my father and older brother were also guitarists. So many great musicians were showcased on that show. Thanks for posting this one--it's one of my favorite Campbell signature tunes. Looking forward to many more videos played on the Comins.

[@JakeReichbart]

+Don Mitchell I appreciate it!

[@timmyasikin4177]

[@mariodelgado8788]

Great new guitar! you surely can make to sound beautiful a broomstick with six strings! :) I really love your arrangements. I'm a humble fingerstyler, and I'm always impresed by your sense of the tempo and your harmonies. You always catch the esence of a song, and create something new and full of sensibility. Thanks, Mr. Reichbart!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much, please feel free to share! :-) Happy New Year!

[@UnitedEffect]

Congratulations on your fine new guitar! Also thanks for sharing a great arrangement of such a beautiful tune. Much appreciated!

[@JakeReichbart]

+UnitedEffect Thanks very much! :-) Please feel free to share! :-)

[@UnitedEffect]

+Jake Reichbart I just shared it on G+. :0) I also watched the documentary "I'll Be Me" which chronicled Glen Campbell's life and career. It included a farewell to his fans on his final tour. His 2011 Alzheimer's diagnosis spurred him to do this last tour. Respect goes out to him & his loved ones for taking on this endeavour. BTW - his illness didn't seem to affect his masterful picking skills on the guitar. (He was one of the original "Wrecking Crew", so you know he had some chops! :0) )

[@YouWorryMe]

Captured. Thanks....

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks! PLEASE help me grow my channel by subscribing/bell and watching a few of my other videos, even just 2 or 3, I appreciate it!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much, feel free also to share :-)

[@StevenMorris]

Love it and the guitar. I am not familiar with Bill Comins guitars, but will check them out. Love the run at 1:52 - 1:59 and the new look and sound. Take care, always enjoy watching.

[@JakeReichbart]

+David Janes (Taylor Dreaming) I appreciate it!

[@rawunlimitedvlog7408]

Wow! Would love to hear you play that on an classical acoustic guitar.

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks so much! Please feel free to share :-)

[@Barnekkid]

Sweet.

[@JakeReichbart]

+Barnekkid Thanks!!

[@mikegilland]

SO GOOD!

[@JakeReichbart]

+Mike Gilland thank you very much, please feel free to share :-)

[@nostaticatall]

As usual, beautiful playing and arranging. Also, very nice guitar, it really suits your style - and that's coming from someone who made his living building guitars for almost ten years. I like the clean, understated but nicely proportioned look of it. I'm a little out of touch these days, I was not very familiar with this builder but I will have to have a look at his website. Cheers.

[@JakeReichbart]

+Nostatic Atall Thanks very much! :-) Please feel free to share and look around my channel for more!

[@TMNigel]

Great arrangement. Glen was an underrated guitarist. Check out the documentary on his last tour-very moving. Nice guitar tone btw. NT

[@JakeReichbart]

+Nigel Thomas Absolutely! Thanks!

[@BartonFarley1]

Excellent stuff Jake! ... as usual. I used to have the GCS-1ES natural, a very underrated instrument. Very comfortable size, warm sounding pickups, easy to play with an excellent factory setup ( by Bill Comins himself). I guess now you need to do 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix'! Thanks for the tune.

[@JakeReichbart]

+Eric Rowland I definitely play that tune... :-) Thanks very much! :-) Please feel free to share! :-)

[@gymnosophy]

Great song, great cover. I like the name Jake. I can trust someone of that name.

[@JakeReichbart]

:-)

[@50Something]

Slick!

[@JakeReichbart]

+Mr8mileshigh1 Thanks very much, please feel free to share! :-)

[@veloopity]

omg so beautiful!

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks so much! Please feel free to share :-)

[@koenibaby]

Hope you have video of the ES soon. How did you get this acoustic like sound ? Sounds great.

[@JakeReichbart]

+koenibaby I appreciate it!

[@kevinarbogast9309]

Jimmy Webb wrote 100% of that tune. Glen was just the first to record it. Jimmy Webb also wrote a killer book about how to write awesome songs called Tunesmith. Great for all musicians, not just singer songwriters. Great read! I highly recommend. Cool guitar.

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks for that info! :-)

[@deanc.5984]

Awesome!! I bet that lesson is weeks or months long!!

[@JakeReichbart]

Email me [e-mail] and I’ll send you all the information! The lessons are usually 90 minutes long…

[@greatvanzini]

Best arrangement of this since Johnny A. did his. Yours is a cool different take.

[@JakeReichbart]

+greatvanzinni Thanks very much, please feel free to share! :-)

[@oselini]

i don't know the song but the playing is great as usual... the guitar sounds very good and through my laptop seems to have the same sound of the old ibanez.. so the battery, the wires, the piezo was just there for estethics? ;)

[@JakeReichbart]

An hour and 50 min long widescreen DVD lesson - also downloadable - on how to perform this arrangement, and much more, is now available!!! Every note and chord is shown slowly and in closeup. No online store, just email me at [e-mail] to learn more! Check out a sample from this lesson here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5i6ha1tfNyln7M

[@trevorsowray1]

Nice gonna miss that blue tape though!

[@JakeReichbart]

+Trevor Sowray Thanks very much, please feel free to share! :-) Don't worry, I'll bring her back now and then... ;-)

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

Jake: Please tell us about the new guitar. Your Ibanez has always been a source of inspiration to me, as the guitar was well-used and not a $5,000 + exotic instrument, but it could make such beautiful music in your hands. Now, a new guitar has that honor. So, what brand, model, strings, set-up, etc, and why a new one now? Sorry for my nosiness, but I have a tremendous interest in what you do. Thanks, as always.

[@JakeReichbart]

+Lawrence Genereux Thanks very much, please feel free to share! :-) This is a Bill Comins GCS-1, an incredible guitar. I got it as part of an endorsement deal, I'm finally a grown up... ;-) Here is the website www.cominsguitars.com/

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

+Jake Reichbart Jake: I read that the new axe is a semi-hollow instrument, but you are micing it.. how much acoustic sound does it produce?

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

saaaweet!, man its all there.

[@JakeReichbart]

+musiconlyplease98 Thanks very much! :-) Please feel free to share! :-)

[@cliffworks748]

great Jake you don't need to slap your guitar we get it

[@joed4657]

Nice - FYI - I listen while working all the time..., so if works for you, then everyone should try....should be sure to sign in 1st

[@JakeReichbart]

Always appreciate it!

[@placidian]

Sounds beautiful, just needs a bit of blue tape for esthetics. =D

[@JakeReichbart]

+scott sileo Thanks, maybe a different color tape? ;-)

[@nostaticatall]

+scott sileo LOL! Yikes!

[@merchantsvillage]

Wanna sell your Ibanez?

[@JakeReichbart]

+Nick Antonaccio Lol, no, plenty of wedding gigs I still have to play... ;-)

[@antidepressant11]

If I could play that well, I might be happy to be homeless as long as I wasn't guitarless

[@JakeReichbart]

Thanks very much!
