I saw Glen play with Steve Wariner at a fund raiser Steve held every year in his hometown. The venue was outside and I was waiting at Glen's tour bus after the show, with an album for him to hopefully sign, not knowing he was already on the tour bus. I finally walked away and as I was walking I heard someone yell at me. I turned around it was Glen having just walked off the bus. He said, "were you waiting for me"? I went back and he signed my album and even talked guitars for a few minutes. It is a great memory for me.
great story! he was the best
That's a fantastic story. Thanks
Wow. Thank you for sharing 🥰
Even though he was playing BB Kings blues here I remember him saying in several interviews that he originally wanted to be the world's best Jazz player.
That’s great - natural showmanship and talent aside, he comes across as a genuine down to earth guy😀
Imagine, if you will, that someone can talk 15 minutes about a 2 minute song..
... and keep it interesting.
Yes Fil keeps your interest with his voice. Fil's covers are great but his original music is amazing.
Well, after all, he is talking about the Great Glen Campbell!
That's why Fil is the best ! at what he does. I got to go research some Glen Campbell now👍
That's his gift to us.
Fil has a special gift. It's always enjoyable to watch his reviews.
I was at a Guns N Roses concert right after Glen passed away. Axel said he was doing a tribute song for someone who influenced his musical career. Next thing you know both he and all the die hard rockers filling the stadium, are singing Wichita Lineman. Really moving.
LOVE that song!! That's a VERY COOL TRIBUTE!! 👍💟
That is my favorite song by Glenn Campbell,too. 🎸♥️
Cindy Powers My fave of his is The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress
@@imjonesy5239 I don't know that one, but I am definitely going to check it out. Thanks ☮️
HOLY SHIT! Something coherent from Axel?
Glen Campbell played my Uncle's 50th birthday party. I got to hang out with Glen. on the Island of Kauai in 2008. I picked him up hitchhiking. I didn't recognize him.
He didn't know who I was. We were just two friends riding around the Island. So we drove to "pine trees" in Hanalei Bay. Shook hands and said goodbye. When I sat down at the picnic table with my friend
Jeff asked me "how long have you been friends with Glen Campbell."
I said "I just picked him up hitchhiking." Glen would walk Hanalei Beach. He would stop and hang out, and everybody would pass the guitar around in a circle. He was comfortable just being a person among other people. He loved the beach, he loved to listen to other people play, and hear what they had to say. There was no edge to him. Easy to be with.
Lovely story.
Yours is a great recollection story. I met him twice myself, about 10 years apart. Neither time having anything at all to do with music. Just the two of us happening upon each other and talking one-on-one during each occasion to pass time. And you are right. He was a gentleman's gentleman in terms of casual interaction and enjoyment of being in the company of others with friendly conversation.
Wow, reminds me of my time with Chet Atkins and Danny George Jr. Both were hiding from fame, agents, and the media.
I'm so jealous. What a lovely story :)
Cool story. I had a similar, much shorter story of an encounter with a humble Danny Gatton three weeks before he passed. I had met him four times in 1979 when he repaired two guitars for me at his shop in Oxon Hill, MD, but I had been out of State a while and had not seen him when I came back since 1979. I honestly didn't recognize him that day in 1994 although we talked a bit about my guitar and other things at a music gear swap meet down in Waldorf, MD. Only after his passing did a good friend, who had been with us in the latter part of the conversation, make me realize it was Danny.
He makes the guitar literally sing that song. Amazing guitarist.
My thoughts exactly!!
Hominini. Me too! Wow! Surprised the hell out of me!
@@Lisa-pb3qp And when I was growing up I totally took Glen Campbell for granted and thought he was just a kind of hick country music guy. Wow and oh boy how we start to appreciate and understand as we age!! This is incredible stuff. Thank you Fil!!
Hominini Yes! I totally agree! Sorry Glenn! I know you're rocking and giving them hell from up above. 😊
@@Lisa-pb3qp You got it!
The Wrecking Crew. Glen was one of the most sought after session musicians in LA, before his solo career.
Incredibly gifted.
And couldnt read a note of music truly amazing.
Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, etc. ; a few of the finest & quickest pickers out of Nashville in their day ! Just incredibly stunning picking !
And he couldn’t read music unbelievable, Glen Campbell was talented beyond belief
Glen had natural God-given musical talent. Most individuals like Glen didn't have to "study" music like the rest of us. He flew high when playing guitar and sing and nobody caught him! There's only one Glen Campbell and we all miss him.
Merle Haggard said if there ever was someone given too much talent, it's Glen. Thanks, Fil, for your excellent analysis.
Glen was beyond Good! Anyone who plays knows he was a genious and was one of the best Players in history!!!
All a matter of taste. Dave Mason who can bend a note 12 Times. I grew up with Glen and Roy. Loved them then and really appreciate them now.
Eddie Van Halen once said that Glen Campbell was the best guitarist he'd ever heard.
True Story...
@Dave N Wanted lessons from Glen as well
There is a RUclips video with Alice Cooper days after Glen passed. Cooper mentions when Eddie Van Halen asked if Cooper could set up a guitar lesson with Glen Campbell!! ruclips.net/video/B6q2hsdXenQ/видео.html
Rest in Peace, Glen Campbell, you earned it brother. What a wonderful talent that we got to enjoy during his lifetime.
The detail Fil noticed about avoiding a flat note do to the physics of bending some strings is one of those details nobody else can explain or even notice.
So true, John Welch.
When the alzheimer affected him in the last years of his life, he couldn't remember where he was at or family members. But put a guitar in his hands his daughter said he would smile play flawlessly. He was BRILLIANT.
I got to see him play that last tour.❤
that is amazing ....... never knew he got Alzheimer.. tragic..........
....yeh, that backing group was good alrighty there..
G Campbell was one gifted dude ............
I saw that on the documentary about him. He denied picking his teeth with a pocketknife that we viewers saw! Then, we saw him on stage with his guitar. Wow! His neurologist thought that his guitar playing skills seemed to be in a part of his brain that was separate from his executive functions.
@@bolivianbillionaire1349 Check out, "I'm Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" his last song. It is incredible.
Check out that wild Ovation electric! Yes when he was young he played many many sessions as a gun for hire. Sadly I never appreciated him in the 60's and 70's because I thought he was a country/pop star. My apologies Glen, thanks for all the great material.
Imagine doing something that captures people's full attention 50 years later. Thanks Fil
Session playing is what got Campbell in the door and introduced his great talents to the fame makers. His superlative god-gifted vocals are what carried him on to fame and fortune, producing no less than SIXTY-THREE “Glen Campbell” albums which were released thru his legendary career!
On another note regarding another genuine TALENT-
NOBODY analyzes the talents of musical artists as THOROUGHLY, as INTELLIGENTLY, as KNOWLEDGEABLY as Fil! Fil’s not only a proficient musician himself but an EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATOR regarding the subject of musicianship which he knows and teaches so well!
Thanks for the kind words!
Fil is extremely knowledgeable on all his anylasis always accurate and honest I watch all your videos fil and really appreciate them even though I don’t play guitar I know great guitar when I hear it most of the time keep up the good work fil!
His Witchita Lineman is one of my favorite songs. So talented..
sharonmuzik Big credit to Jimmy Webb. What an amazing song.
See Glen and Roy Clark playing together,just picking and grinning, unreal!
Fil, your analysis is on par with the phenomenal guitar playing.
He's pretty damned awesome at it, I have to agree.
Thanks!
I have been a Glen Campbell fan for a long (long) time, but only now that I have watched all of your detailed analyses featuring Glen, do I understand his exceptional ability to play guitar.
In 1967 I lived in Los Angeles . I got every break imaginable. I was also only twenty years old. I was at CBS on Fairfax where they shot the Smothers Brothers Show one day with a musical Director doing a lead sheet.
There were all these small 10 by 10 feet practice rooms. I saw a door open,and it was Glen alone in one of the rooms with an Ovation ( not the model he’s using here ) guitar. I walked in the room,and he just said “hi, how are you doing ? “
I said fine I was just there with a musical director writing out a chart for me.
I asked if I could just sit in the other chair ,and listen to what your doing ,and why you’re doing it.
It said it was something for the show.
In any event he was as humble,and kind as a person can get .
He had a sheet he was looking at, I assumed he was reading a chart.
It was just a chord chart.
I had no idea he didn’t read,but he knew instinctive what to do .
That was so long ago.
It only lasted maybe five minutes, but it was a five minutes I’ll never forget.
Great interpreter of songs. Jimmy Webb wrote for Glen.
That is a match made in heaven.
A great singer,a great player,and great writer .
That was LA in the mid sixties.
He was a gifted artist in so many ways. I can’t understand how you guys play this instrument. Bravo!!!!!
It's just a love of the instrument that makes someone practice their butt off for the pleasure of even just practicing. Getting good is just an after effect of that love.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 Bingo!
Pam Nichols We can’t either, Pam.
I’ve been playing for years and I still don’t know. It must be people are given gifts by God.
Heavenly Guitar Yeah, that must be it. Nothing to do with thousands of hours of practice, years of study and experience. Maybe the Easter bunny is responsible.
Your command of the English language and the extent of your vocabulary is quite impressive. Things rarely heard here in the States.
Thanks!
This man cannot seem say enough about how great Glenn Campbell was. It's deserved.
Excellent analysis Fil...one of your best!
Professor Fil nicely done, Glen was the Real Professional and Great performer that made this song his own, Jeff in LA USA
Glen's playing was savory, sweet and sour, with a dash of cream- smooth as silk. And, all natural!!
I enjoy all your videoes, but the ones featuring Glen Campbell are my favorites 🙂👍🏻
Once again you prove your exquisite taste. I was born in 1956 so I’m one of those lucky people who got to discover the greatness of Glen in real time. Even during the Gentle on my Mind, Galveston, Phoenix, Wichita Lineman period I was a rock guy but I still loved Glen Campbell. Who wouldn’t?
There will not be another Glen Campbell. His career was amazing.
So clean! It's like the guitar itself is singing out the notes. (And how about, Fil? Takes a 2 minute song and breaks it down for 15 minutes and keeps my interest the whole time!)
😂
I've loved Glen Campbell songs my whole life, but didn't appreciate his guitar skills until I saw him play Mason Williams Classical Gas on guitar.
He immediately went into my "Top 10" guitarists category after viewing that.
The point he made about people not realizing his guitar abilities because of his great vocals is SO true! Im a player so I’ve always known that... truly one of the best of all time....and the most versatile of all of them hands down.. RIP Glen! Your music will live forever.
Glen was the absolute best. He played with the best and he was the best of the best. Born to play and played until the end. Legend.
I love this song as an instrumental. Glen was a treasure. He was so good that he made it look easy.
Hit LIKE when I saw the name Glen Campbell. Blessed to grow up in an era when live music was the norm on tv. The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour was one of the best.
I really loved that show as well
As Lennon said “it took me until now to dig it” l just started to realize how powerful and beautiful was Glen’s guitar playing and his beautiful voice.
One of the great guitar musicians, he just flows through the notes so easily and smoothly, one could tell that not only was he good at playing, he loved to play
Loving the instrument is where greatness comes from, because it leads to loving even practicing. Getting good is just a result of that love.
I was born in Galveston, Texas. My mom had to stop her trip from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to San Antonio, Texas, so I can't really say I'm "from" Galveston. Glen Campbell sang a song called, "Galveston" and it's an antiwar song. It was very brave of him to say something in that genre at that time. I never found the lyrics until RUclips. I had no idea he could play like this.
Always a great time with Mr. Campbell , listening to his sound since I was a tiddler. I think he single handedly brought Ovation guitars to the attention of budding musicians way back in the ‘60’s. My privilege to have lived during his run. A foundation stone of easy listening, yet progressive, true music.
Glen Campbell was a famous studio muscian as well as an singer/performer. What an incredible talent he was.
Fil, you’re smiling through this entire performance. Again.
I’d never before heard this and it’s gorgeous.
So pure. So clean. So articulate.
It’s almost hard-to-believe that this is a live performance.
Glen's licks in this tune were downright tasty! Glen was a true guitar god.
Thank you for covering Glen again, it's important to keep hammering on the masters. Wichita Lineman also is a masterclass on just about everything you need to make a perfect record - his DanElectro 6 string bass lead break alone (not Fender VI as is reported) is so simply perfect it's why we have music - to make up for when words can't convey. Fil-Up! 🎶
Great review of Glen’s technical capabilities and artistry. Simply put, this is how you play guitar!
Thanks for showing the world how good he was on the guitar. The great players know about his talents
A bit of a renaissance man. Glen was one of the best as an all round entertainer. That included capably hosting a variety show, acting in films, and was just an amazing guest on talk shows (including British & Australian TV shows) - he owned the room. His charisma, sense of humor, and being able to tell stories made even a curmudgeon like Johnny Carson chuckle non stop. RIP to the G.O.A.T. 🐐
First and a proud long term fan of Glenn Campbell, Roy Clark, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, etc...
Lisanne Bond - Loosen up...
think about this... You’re being the heavy whose putting another human being down.
Congrats on your “Adulthood”...
You can do better...
Great review. My mom, God rest her soul, and dad loved Glenn Campbell and as a result I heard it as a little kid but didn't realize how great a musician he was. Thanks again for the review.
Fil, thank you for this forensic appreciation of a virtuoso musician. Listening to your analysis increased my respect for an artist that I already admired.
Just sitting here singing along with Glen's playing 😃😃😃Thank you Fil❤️
Hey Fil, man you go digging deep again! My parents watched the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour like a religion. LOL So, whenever you so these clips it is a fond memory. Glen was a true master. Thanks again. ROCK✌❤
My gosh, Fil, your analysis is so enlightening it blows me away! The depth, detail, and decomposition of this performance is a real service to musicians, novice players, like me, and, I assert, casual music lovers. Thank you so, so much.
No problem!
Such an awesome musician and artist. He even played bagpipes at his concerts which blew me away.
Fil, I said it before on another video you did of Glen Campbell. He is arguably one of the top five guitar players ever. Thanks Fil. Young people need to know the great musicians, that for whatever reason, the msm seems to constantly ignore.
RIP GLEN CAMPBELL
wow ! thanks Fil , haven't seen this one before . this one really shows Glen as more of a jazz player without getting out of the "comfort zone" of the majority of the general public listening audience but keeping it wild and interesting enough not to fall into that elevator music palatability that some jazz falls into . this really shows Glens connection with real everyday people bringing complicated musical ideas to folks that otherwise wouldn't understand and appreciate some of the intricacies of top jazz greats
Such a gifted artist. I learned about Ovation guitars/mandolins because of his influence. This video is one of the many treasures fans can encounter. It's players like him that inspired me to be self taught, Steve Howe being foremost. That said, Glen really made it look easy. Greatly missed musical legend. Another brilliant and insightful video by the beloved Fil!
The man had such a beautiful touch .
His style is sooooo laid back, effortless and magical.
How can you not be a fan of Glen Campbell?!
Well, I am a fan, but I can easily see why some wouldn't be. But then I am so grateful that we all intrinsically have our own personal tastes. The world of music, and the world in general, would be unbearably boring otherwise.
Sadly some people say he was terrible!
Glen Campbell was a genius! Loved his music...
One of the most underrated guitarists in the world. And, he was just as good on a 12 string.
Fil, You nailed it with this analyses as always! Glen Campbell was a superb entertainer in every way shape and form!
The most impeccable musician ever. He knew no bounds and was adept at any genre and was equally accomplished in other instruments and his vocals were an instrument all their own. He will always remain "Gentle on My Mind" and he has left a void that won't be filled in our lifetime.
i like his stuff with Bobbie Gentry...and i think he was with Tanya Tucker at some point
And to think he couldn't even read music . Pure talent. Absolutely stunning ❤️
Perfect example of giving the guitar the vocals and letting her speak!
The tone was beautiful. These tv appearances are what got me into the guitar initially, Roy Clark, Glenn Campbell, et all from the 60's and 70's tv were truly skilled and musical. Johnny A. Is the only one from today that comes to mind who will do covers in a solo instrumental style that just wows you. His version of Wichita Lineman is flawless.
So gifted! One of my all time favorites!! ✌🏻🎸😎
He was a very underrated guitarist. He was stuck between rock and country, so I guess that's why most people don't really know how great he was. Most people just thought of him as pop.
And Fil gives us all the technical details of Glen's playing, and my head explodes.
But never underrated by Muscians you'll will note. Though I found a lot of his music a bit bland ( except his Jimmy Web songs) His ability to interpret and the emotion he could add to a song -just wow. Talented man.
I was born in the 60’s and I had no idea of his mad guitar skills. I remember his vocals
Such an amazing technique and expression from a self-taught player. Glen never disappoints. It blows my mind that he was a session player and he could not read music. Naural God-given talent coupled with LOTS of practice. Thanks, Fil. Great analysis, as usual.
Glen was so underrated..thx for the expert analysis Fil
His improvising skills were off the chart. I grew up watching him in high school. Had just began to play guitar. His influence is still with me to this day. Not to mention his session playing, and for someone who didn’t really read music, he was amazing. Glad you analyzed this one Phil, just great.
Such a great song and so much feeling in Glen's lead playing. Talk about sweeping he's doing it without any distortion, that's insanely hard to do and hard to keep the clarity. Thanks for the analysis and sharing the vid Fil. Cheers!!! 100K subs coming soon...
Thanks for playing my suggestion. Glen is outstanding as always. He just can’t play a bad note.
I was so lucky to have been able to see him on his farewell tour. I grew up watching him on tv & was thrilled that he was appearing at the Count Basie Theatre, walking distance from my home in NJ.
He needed a teleprompter for the words, but he absolutely KILLED on the guitar!
Always with his wonderful sense of humor in tact.
I was still devastated by his death, but I saw that interview with Alice Cooper.
It made me a little less sad, knowing that he was finally at peace.
Cheers!
I really appreciate your skill to articulate so clearly the information in detail about the musicians you are speaking of and their abilities.
Always glad to see your appreciation of Glen. Keep spreading the word, brother!
Wow. Incredible playing. Way underrated as a guitar player.
Legendary Guitarist. Glen could play anything.
Glen: total talent and a wonderful man! Great analysis again Fil!😎🌟
He had such a seemingly effortless super clean sound. Really amazing to be so good in both guitar and vocals. Always had such cool looking guitars as well.
Never knew he jammed lead. Loved it
If I close my eyes it sounds like two guys playing. Amazing.
To think Glen did everything he did - without being able to read music! From his early days with the Wrecking Crew, all the way through his successful solo career - such an incredibly amazing talent!
His live performance of “Gentle on my Mind“ features an incredibly beautiful guitar solo in place of the third verse.
RIP Glen Campbell
He was absolutely amazing!! Thanks for another great analysis! I love your enthusiasm for the music across all genres and generations. 👍👌✌️
The musical guest on the first "Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour
" was Cream. Glen and Clapton jammed afterwards with Glenn flat-picking everything Eric improvised. One of the writers said the musicianship was "superb".
@Ios5513 Truth
One never get tire of watching a world class musician as Glen Campbell was. each of your previous analysis on Glen has been nothing less then superb. Glen is one of those musician that you could analysis for a year and never run out of things to say. this was a great performance .
Your enthusiasm is inspiring, Fil. Almost overwhelmed you at the very end. I felt it as you did. Ty!
That was a staggering performance by Glen. Thanks for putting a bright spotlight on a real player!
Fil did you see the movie Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me ? It's both sad and wonderful at the same time, well worth seeing.
I agree, it really is well worth seeing. I watched that documentary because I've always loved Glen Campbell, and also because my mother has Alzheimer's Disease. It was heartbreaking, but also inspiring and educational; I highly recommend it to anyone who's ever been touched by that horrible disease or any other type of dementia - and that's just about everyone. On a lighter note, when I was a kid my dad was a lineman for Bell in NW PA. The first time I heard Wichita Lineman (about 7 or 8 years old) I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't wait to tell my mom, my brother, my friends, the neighbors, etc., that there was a song about my dad on the radio! The "Wichita" part went right over my head but I understood all the references to the job and was absolutely floored that my dad had become so famous. My mom doesn't have many memories left but for some reason that one stuck with her - me running up to her and yelling "they're singing a song about DAD on the radio!!!" - which makes me both cringe and smile at the same time. I still love that song even though I eventually figured out it wasn't specifically about my father. :)
Checotah James ...How sweet a memory! God Bless You! ❤️
It is beautiful and tragic. Stunning how the music remained so resiliently even as good overall functioning was being peeled away by Alzheimer's. The man loved music and loved having a stage to perform, and he was amazing. I was blessed to see him on tour at a time when he still appeared well, although it's clear now that he was deteriorating cognitively already. He was entertaining, corny as always, and effortlessly fluid on guitar, which he highlighted to our pleasure. His voice was in fine form, unlike most of the guys in their 70's we know and love. Still miss the guy. RIP Glen
Glenn was a phenomenal guitarist, and a voice.. that funky shape of the guitar and the sound . Great thank you.
The Man was a master of guitar. Playing clean.
Imagine if he had effects.
He will always be a hero and huge influence on me.
Phil, Love these videos especially of older artists like Campbell.
This shows why so many legendary rock, blues, jazz, and country musicians sought out Glen Campbell for session work, consults, and peer-jams! One of the very best guitarists of the 20th Century who appears on so many hit songs of his day without a credit on the release. Along with all the important things in his life such as faith and family, Glen was an extraordinary musician and most brilliant performer, all-ways! Very nice analysis Fil, your insight is spot-on. “Rock!” 🎤🎸🎶🏅🆒
Glen’s finger picking is so impressive! Awesome player, and also a talented singer. Thanks for your detailed analysis, Fil!
I never knew he was such a great guitarist. My parents always loved "Country" music. I mostly remember his singing. I keep learning more & more every time I listen to you! Thanks, for sharing 💙
Glen was so gifted. Fame and Hollywood were just too much for a simple country boy. Beautiful guitar. My father was friends with his family. Whenever Glen would come to Dallas my Dad and Glen's uncle Lloyd would play golf together.
Glen was so good at his craft and a nice guy to boot we sure miss you Brother Thanks for posting :-)
we are looking at the best thats ever been, RIP Cowboy, glad i live in the times of Glen Campbell.
Bluesy and Jazzy, very nicely done.
Great analysis Fil.
"And I Need You More Than Want You
And I Want You For All Time." Wichita Lineman ❤ ✨
Thank You for this. Unlimited respect for you. 🌟❤️🌟
Most people have no idea whatsoever that Glen Campbell played on many bands albums, instead of the actual artist that were "in" the band .
In other words, He was hired to play in the recording studio to do the guitar work for the bands guitarist.
It saved the record companys Thousands of Dollar because he had the timing, and could do the parts in very few takes, and many times played the part in just 1 "take" .
