There’s this underrated corner of RUclips where middle aged men absolutely control their instruments and yet hardly get any attention. There’s a Dutch Lapsteel artist that is in a similar situation.
you can do this if you dedicate the time to it. this man makes it look easy, but behind this video was dozens of hours of him practicing this one song. you can do this if you set yourself to it.
@@GhostRAOfficial hmmm…I haven’t picked up any of my guitars for 2 years. I’ve played for over 40 years. I’m still nimble, but lost my drive to play. Been in a slump for a loooong time!
This gives me so much mid 2000s vibes when RUclips was about sharing talent and enjoyable, educating contents. Since the social media era, everything is fckd. Thank you great sir for sharing this piece.
I'm sure you didn't mean to make anyone cry with this cover, but here I am. My dad loved this song and played it all the time, just like you do. He was actually diagnosed with dementia on the same day that Glen Campbell passed away. He was incredibly emotional hearing the new of Glen's passing on the way home from being diagnosed. He passed away in 2022 and I never thought I would hear anyone play this song like he did. He did the thing like you're doing where you pick and pluck so it sounds like two guitars, sorry that I don't know what that technique is called, I decided to play the drums and piano instead of following in my dad's footsteps and play guitar. Looking back, I wish I had gotten more videos of him playing different songs and that I wished I had him teach me guitar. But anyway, thank you for making me cry and think about happy memories of my dad. I will have to check out your channel and watch more!
I find myself coming back to this video very regularly, you are inspiring and I love your playing. That little smile you give to the audience makes the video❤. Also the fact you are still liking comments and interacting with us makes you stand out from other artists. Thank you for what you do Sir.
Timeline: I heard this song for the first time last night on my drive home from work Decided to find a guitar cover for the song Found this cover and was moved very deeply by your rendition I believe in every fiber of my being that your cover is far superior than the original song. Thank you for sharing your talent with us
@@Thewildmanrules I worked it out manually from watching the video and can now play it reasonably well. Maybe I'll write up some tabs and share it in a comment so he hopefully shares it!
@@cirrus393 please let us know if you ever decide to post it! Many of us would be super grateful!! Hats off for learning through the vid must've taken quite some time

What is that dutch lapsteel guy his name?
@@versnellingspookieI think he might be referring to Luke Cyrus Goetze, but I could be wrong
the same thing with Emil Ernebro, that guy is incredible playing the guitar. There's a song of his that's incredible: Reed it.
Search for it
Glad to be here with yall
Make a playlist about it? I’d watch
Got that "I've been playing guitar longer than you've been alive" tone that only time and dedication can give.
god damn right about that
@@erichomsyDon’t use the lords name in vain.

This sounds like a sunset sitting next to someone you love.
[Verse 2]
Southern skies
Just as good even when closed your eyes
GAY !!!!!
That sounds gay
aww i love that
@@thee8904 how tf does this sound gay lmfao love can be straight
This is how I want to be in the future

Not that hard to get old and chubby. If I can do it...
A lot of people throw around the phrase clean playing, and sometimes rightfully deserved but jesus your playing is tight man. Incredible playing
Thank you, this captures how I felt. The melody on the higher strings is excellent by itself.
I'll say its cleaner than it is tight. stupid clean tho. like, i feel embarrassed with myself for being proud of my playing
My guitar just started laughing at me 😢
@@mouthfulacoque3580 why? this is the result of all of your hard work, you deserve to feel pride!
@@GhostRAOfficial hmmm…I haven’t picked up any of my guitars for 2 years. I’ve played for over 40 years. I’m still nimble, but lost my drive to play. Been in a slump for a loooong time!
“Yeah I can play a little”
Let me see if I still remember how to play
Glen credited Jerry with first showing him that catchy little run. I think it’s one of the all time great guitar riffs.
Oh yeah but don't mind him that's just old Jerry
badass comment.
Jerry reed?
@@YungFondo Yessir
@@guermeisterdoodlebug7980 ty for the quick response haha
Clicked the video knowing it wasn’t going to disappoint, stayed cuz I’m impressed
I really appreciate how you emphasise the chromatic runs in this one like at 0:12, in my dream arrangement there's a trombone hitting that part
it's insane how a song you've heard so many times can sound so fresh
one of the best minutes to my ear. respect!
same here
🇹🇷
This is excellent, thanks for sharing. Love this song and this cover of it
I have listened to this repeatedly these past few days it’s just so good and raw
Some people just have a little extra something that can't be taught. This guy's got it.
How old are you?
@@masterragebaitertafuq?
This can absolutely be taught.
Reminds me of my dad.
Gonna send this to him. Love that guy.

If not for smartphones it wouldn't be so bad I think but FB was a big red flag from the beginning then came all the other nonsense.
I truly miss those days of RUclips
I’m so happy I was recommended this.
Can we all just appreciate that half step pinky slide!
This is how I imagine Chet Atkins would play it!
This is my favourite version of this song. Wish it was longer
I love when youtube recommends me stuff like this. Little nuggets of gold.
This might be my favorite video of all time. What a blessing to the ears.

@@lilmsdrummer That is a touching story about your dad. God bless you. 👏🥲
You are the best and what a nice song!
This one is definitely worthy of a tab! Sounds incredible and it must be so fun to play.

Wow!! Beautiful guitar, even more beautiful playing
Chet and Glen would both be proud! 😊
Beautiful in the most nostalgically, whistful, youthful ways. Bravo!
Pure talent.
That’s many hours of practice.

Ma boy shredding on that guitar
Great! Chet Atkins would be proud of this fingerstyle version
That guitar sounds cool. It has good note separation, very articulate. 👌
Whenever I see a more mature guy with a guitar, I just know I’m in for a treat 🙌🙌

Already a million comments... but OMG... flat out fantastic. Well done.
Absolutely awestruck and Inspired. As a player of 8 years I envy you very much sir.

Well done glen campbell must be proud of you
Timeline: I heard this song for the first time last night on my drive home from work
Decided to find a guitar cover for the song
Found this cover and was moved very deeply by your rendition
I believe in every fiber of my being that your cover is far superior than the original song. Thank you for sharing your talent with us
EXCELLENT JOB WES! Glen would be proud.
This simply just made me feel good to hear.
Excellent..
Glen Campbell is smiling big on you right now, my friend. That was great!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME AS A GEORGIA BOY🔥🔥🔥
So fantastic yet effortless
