RIP Larry... Knowing that you were out there "Playing real good for free" has always been a great comfort to me. Thank you for the music and the soul... My musical brother. 💔🙏
Again stunning and moving and poignant. I am sure Glen would deem this worthy. Incredible musicianship and tone. Great to find quality like this on you tube. Worth every second.
Larry..I feel for Glen and his family for what they are having to go through..I see this disease everyday..But when i listen and watch you do any and all of Glen's music that you have, i think about how much great music he, and you have done.With your love and dedication to Glen, you have SO MANY enjoying every word and sound and forgetting for a moment his struggle .You aren`'t just a voice...You are a man with a great gift...ione marie.i could listen to your warm voice sing this day and night
Larry, another song I cover, great job. I had the GREAT PRIVELEGE of meeting Glen Campbell, as well as seeing him in concert one last time, in Sugar Land Texas. He was battling his disease and his memory was failing, but the man could remember every note on the guitar and all of his amazing guitar solos. It was sad that he couldn't recognize his wife, sitting on the front row, nor remember that he did the song Galveston, twice in a row, but NOBODY cared. I remember driving home broken hearted. I was always a true fan of this man, so it hurt me deeply to see him this way, while at the same time, I was extremely happy to see him doing what he loved doing so much, along with his kids, especially his very talented daughter, an amazing musician in her own right. Well done Larry
Larry....When you do tributes to music greats, like Glen, they are always great ones....The songs you choose to do are perfect for each one...But there is something that is just as, if not more, powerful than your songs...It is that your heart and soul is in every bit of it..You are so heartfelt with what you give.I have to be honest when i say that if i don't want to cry, i can't watch the intro...You are the sweetest man and the most giving musician....GOD bless You.....ione marie
Don't sell yourself short , I always admired & loved Glenn Campbell, but you have inspired me pick up my guitar a guitar and start playing. SO Thank You!
I wouldn't say you've fallen far short of that...I don't believe you give yourself near enough credit....But yeah....Its much better to be humble than conceited as hell....We have plenty of that in the world today.....You are GREAT Larry !!! You don't have to say it or even admit it.....But you truly are a very gifted musician/singer !! I love watching your covers and have learned a lot from your tutorials....A very heartfelt thank you Larry ! ....Buck
I'm a 53-year-my dad old guy and your words touched me greatly. I remember driving across the New Mexico expanse with my dad at the wheel listening to Glen. He's why I play a 1977 Ovation Balladeer today. Glen...god bless and thank you
About five years ago I bought a guitar. I was 50 then and used to play guitar decades ago. Relearning, I'd hear old songs and want to cover them so gravitate to RUclips to watch how others do it. I cant tell you how many times my searches ended up at your channel. Similar taste in music. Became a huge fan! So here I am again 5 years later (and playing guitar in a band) on your RUclips channel with this song... You nail this like no other covers!! Well Done Larry!!
Spectacular performance, very heart-felt and easy on the ears Larry. I am sure Glen would be pleased that you did such justice to his hallmark song. "Wichita Lineman" is without a doubt one of the finest and most brilliant songs to have ever been cut into vinyl. Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell will be remembered for generations because of this incredible piece of composition and performance. I worked my way through college as a Lineman for the county. This song truly captures the solitude and longing for my girlfriend that I felt while on the Line. I'll never forget the experience, nor this song. Thank you for sharing this fine performance, Larry. Put you on a stage, an Orchestra behind you, and a Concert Hall for dynamic acoustics and you would bring the house down.
Hi Larry, Glen moved you and you love him deeply for what he has given you and now you have passed it on to us song and guitar playing lovers. Very many thanks, your teaching skills are awesome
VERY WELL DONE MY FRIEND, And Glen is Smileing that you are a part of him! PEACE From some one one who is just learning that wonderful All time favorite Glen Campbell songs!
Larry, I found you doing this song in an earlier video from your Kitchen and later giving a lesson on how to play this. I have played guitar on and off for over 35 years and have always wanted to learn this classic. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I share a love of music and this all powerfull song. Thanks for having such an impact on me. I will post a vide response as soon as I can record it. You are an incredible player, singer, and no doubt person. God Bless...
Excellent and beautiful! I also hope that Glen Campbell sees this. This is a great tribute to one of the greatest musician / singers of our time. As far as I am concerned you, Larry are also in that same category... Keep on playing, singing, and making people happy with your music.
One of the most haunting songs, ever. Tradesmen are truly moved by this music. The character (in the song) loves his lover AND his work at the same time, almost a melancholy love triangle. You capture it.
Larry~This is so touching~Glen Campbell's music is some of the best music in the world~And, what is truly moving here is that you are singing this great song as a special tribute~Also, the Love you have for Glen and his wonderful music is priceless~~ione marie
Larry......Also, you are the most giving and caring musician and person i have and will ever know....I am blessed beyond words to have you for my sweet best friend...ione marie
Larry.....You have given a powerful tribute to a great man...His music, like your's, not only pleases the ears but also touches the heart...Your intro and your cover of this timeless song shows respect, appreciation, admiration,and love...If Glen see's this he will, without a doubt, be moved by it like i and many others are.....ione marie....and for those worthless individuals, you know who you are..i was wondering how do you function without a heart or class?
great song well done Larry ....I do it in the same key respect keep the songs coming Glen would be happy with your tribute he was the best guitar player ive ever heard and a singer with great soul rip
Great stuff Larry. I share your love of this beautiful song. Jimmy Webb's chords are just wonderful. Thanks for this great rendition and your lessons. I've almost got it nailed and I'm going to play it at my local jam night.
Larry, you are an excellent artist in your own right. I like some of Glenn's hits, but, I would rather turn to your channel than his. You are an inspiration to me.
Larry ,one of the best covers I've heard and seen on RUclips , I first watched you do brandy and then doobie bros and will watch many more I wish I had have continued with the guitar ,I might just pick it up again after seeing your clips keep em coming lorry Cheers Nev from West Oz down under
Wow......You did the song justice with your playing and the heartfelt singing. I'm sure Glen would enjoy seeing this and I can only hope that perhaps he will.
One of my favourite songs EVER. Jimmy Webb can write a song like no other, and Glen brought it to life way back. Anyway, great cover of this beautiful song.
Larry~This comment, will be two parts:Forgive me,but i want to say what i feel here~I just watched a CBS sunday news piece about Glen, his last tour, his family, and his career~Powerful, beautiful, and heartbreaking all at the same time~I learned things like:being one of 12 children, playing guitar for Sinatra & filling in for Brian Wilson for a bit~I have always loved Glen & his music~I have said many prayers for Glen, his family, & their road ahead~(cont'd)....
Beautiful - both sentimental words and song! And about Glen being an inspiration, you spoke right from the depths of my soul, too. Same story for me: When I was just a kid back in the Sixties, I saw Glen playing on the TV on my parents‘ bedroom...and immediately felt the pull of „one man, one guitar“. It was the beginning of a long musical journey that fills me with joy to this day, at the age of nearly 60. My parents arranged for me to get my cousin‘s old Harmony Sovereign guitar (still have it, despite owning many much more playable and sonically superior instruments), on which I played by fingers bloody on basic chords. I honestly don‘t know what other passion I might have found in life if it hadn‘t been for Glen inspiring me to be something like him, if only as a hobby musician that occasionally gigs. But it‘s definitely Mistress Music that keeps my soul fed, and I‘m eternally thankful to Glen Campbell for igniting that initial spark! Sometimes all it takes to transform a (young) person‘s life is a single moment of loving connection like the one I had with Glen, who embodied the singer-songwriter way of being with everything from melancholy to playfulness. And though it might be off-topic, while I‘m giving thanks I‘ll also send a huge thank you out to my junior high school art teacher, Mark (or was it Marc?) Sahlgren of the now-defunct (?) Sweetcorn Bluegrass Band, who lovingly gifted me with his time after school so I could come around to his classroom with my guitar and learn the beauty of fingerpicking! What a revelation! Again: One man, in one short space of time, who transformed a life. With every song I sing (and that‘s quite a lot), these inspirational men sing and play through me, too, in the web of love we can all spread if we wish to. Thank you, Larry, for reminding me of this deep-felt connection and my own gratitude towards Glen.
Good job Larry, its Glen Campbell night here on tv in the UK 19th Jan 2013, and on the back of that im googling stuff on him, didnt really know much about him but wow what a life he's had!. I knew he did Witchita cos i love the song.
Larry, thanks for this beautiful tribute to Glen. Wichita Lineman was my first Glen Campbell album, which I'd bought in '68 at the Navy Exchange at Atsugi Naval Air Station, Japan. I still have it and treasure it. Until recently, Glen was a longtime resident of Paradise Valley (a Phoenix suburb), where I had been the editor of the local newspaper. We were proud to have him as a member of our community.
A wonderful tribute to one of the best ever. He sang this on Ellen recently and it was definitely a bittersweet performance. His voice was spot on and if anything, his guitar was better than ever. Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease...
Well Larry, very nicely done! I'm only older than you by about 6 months so I grew up on the same music as you. I saw Glen live in 1976. My influence to pick up the guitar was John Denver. I got to see him too play live. I don't play much anymore. My other big influence were the Doobie Brothers, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker & Jim Croce. Keep on playing!!!
Just came across your videos. How you capture the soul of the songs is absolutely amazing. What a blessed and talented artist you are! Thank you and God bless you!
RIP Larry...
Knowing that you were out there "Playing real good for free" has always been a great comfort to me.
Thank you for the music and the soul... My musical brother.
💔🙏
Hello, I've just been watching all of Larry's videos and just read your comment. Did Larry die?
@@joehermanartist : Sadly ; I believe that He did.
He was great.
Again stunning and moving and poignant. I am sure Glen would deem this worthy. Incredible musicianship and tone. Great to find quality like this on you tube. Worth every second.
The best one man version of this I've heard yet. One of your best Larry thanks
Awesome song, Glen is Awesome and so are you Larry!...Thanks for posting this

Awesome tribute my man. They will never be a more perfect musical duo as Glenn Campbell and Jimmy Webb.
A Great Tribute sir. What timeless music it really is!
God bless you too for sharing your talents they don't go unappreciated! Your cover of this got me back into playing acoustic again. Thanks again! Tim
This song is exactly why you should keep making and sharing your love of music sir. Thank you kindly.

Glen Campbell arguably the best guitarist ever. Great job great tribute!

Hi Larry, Glen moved you and you love him deeply for what he has given you and now you have passed it on to us song and guitar playing lovers.

One the finest versions played by ANYONE....WELL DONE FRIEND!
