Glen Campbell's Amazing Guitar Solos!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 дек 2021
- Some of the best compilations of Glen Campbell's incredible guitar solos have to be seen to be believed...As a young child in the mid 70's I like most everyone was captivated by the song Rhinestone Cowboy and many other songs sung by Glen. But what I (and I'm sure many others) never knew was (until one time in the early 80's I turned on the TV and saw Glen Campbell playing guitar and totally shredding on it) how amazing a guitarist he truly really is. At that moment I knew that heard is someone that has utterly mastered his craft. I hope what you see here will convince you as well.

Probably the best and most underrated guitarist of our time.
At the end of his life Glen couldn't recognize his own children but he could still play guitar.
Whatever the reason he lost part of that memory, he lived a FULL life and left us all, including his kids, with such amazing artistry in music. I do feel bad for all musicians, giving up their entire lives to entertain us and losing themselves along the way, and their families. Just look at Phil Collins, dominated music and yet lost his family to an extent.
The Eddie Van Halen of Country Music!
Funny you should mention that. Look up the history between them. There definitely is one.
How Glen Campbell isn't on Rolling Stones list of top 100 guitarist of all time, is shocking.
I was thinking the same thing!
is in my top 3 all time
it's a disgrace.
Right. He's one of the best of all time.
Rolling Stone has lost all credibility with the guitarist and the singer’s lists
I'm ebarressed to say, at 57 years of age, I was today years old when I found out what a fantastic guitarist Glen was!!
Me being a black man who loves and plays guitar, I listen to country music every once in a while. I will say this, growing up in the 70’s I would watch Hee Haw and be amazed by this gentleman, Jerry Reed, and another guy who’s name escapes me, NOT. ROY CLARK! So many others on that show. I was teased by my friends for watching that show but I didn’t give a damn. I knew what I was watching GREATNESS. This wasn’t Earth Wind and Fire, naw man. This was another level of playing guitar all together. Country players, what can you say. Some of the best guitarist in the world.
Great comments.
Buck Owens?
Buck Owen's is the other guy on he haw
He is absolutely amqzing
Danny Gatton Albert Lee
Glen Campbell and Roy Clark should be highly respected for their playing.
Jerry Reed right up there on the same level too.
When it comes to raw talent with no pedals or feedback Glen is the greatest. Period.
Jerry Reed was no slouch as well….
There are many great guitarists but Glen was one of “the” best!
Glen Campbell one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived no question about it
People don't realize how great of a guitar 🎸 player he was!
Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Lenny Breau…….5 of the greats who don’t get the recognition they deserve
To say Chet Atkins lacked recognition as a guitarist is ridiculous. Players such as George Harrison and Mark Knopfler frequently named him as a major influence when they started their careers.
@@cliffwheeler7357 I didn’t say he didn’t get any, he just didn’t get what many these days get like Hendrix, who certainly was not as good as Kath, not near.
Add Joe Maphis to the list
That would be my list. Roy Clark was nothing less than a miracle man and Jerry Reed hey when you're hot you're hot.
they ALL DID.
RIP Glen. Thanks for waving to my little 6 year old nephew riding by on your rhinestone palmino in OKC! Still talks about that incredible moment 48 years ago!
Very cool memory, I am sure..!
that speed? and precision is fucking AMAZING! what a legend he is. always remebered
Glenn was one the very best guitarists. Full stop.
He was a freak of nature and extremely underrated as a guitarist. Add in a 5 octave voice and that hair! 😂
That vocal clarity...Willie Nelson and John Denver come to mind.
My mother used to listen to Glen Campbell - Like WTF?!? HOW DID I MISS THIS GUY?!?!?!?
Ha, ha, ha..!
I hear ya..!
You simply cannot talk about the greatest guitarists of all time without talking about Glen. And so much of it was on a 12 string! He and Roy Clark were at another level.
One can easily add Jerry Reed to that level
@@johnhofmann7031 According to Glen Campbell himself, Jerry Reed was the greatest of all time.. Praise doesn't come much higher than that!
@@robchaloner7534
Glen was just being humble . Jerry was a find guitar player but he wasn’t on Glens level.
Glen is like the Eddie Van Halen of country and Reed - Angus Young
Let’s just go ahead and add Chet Atkinson to that list too while we’re here.
Roy was insane. Could playing anything with strings better than almost anyone
How a single individual can be blessed with such an abundance of talents remains difficult to grasp for mere mortals like us.
Had the pleasure of working as a stagehand when he came through my town. I was into bands like Metallica and Slayer and all i knew about Glen Campbell at the time was Rhinestone Cowboy. Wouldn’t say I was a fan. We were setting up and his crew told us that he was really sick with the flu and would only show up long enough to play his set. Showtime comes and he shows up, absolutely burns the place down, and was out the door. It was incredible. Still one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen.
Maestro!!!!!!!! When I was 7 he influenced me to pick up the guitar ! I’m 62 , 25 bands and 55 years of playing thanks to him ! He’s the greatest up there with Jeff Beck but can sing too !
Thank you for mentioning Jeff 💔.
I was thinking same as watching this.
So underrated rip. No effect. Prue clean sound
@@robertdillon9989 z
His 12 string 32 notes per measure solo has to count 64 notes per measure right? Would that make Al DeMiola cry? Maybe my spelling teacher will cry then.
Lineman from the county, Gentle on my mind, Galveston are 3 songs etched in my brain recalling our 1962 Chevy Impala 289, 2 speed automatic and gasoline at 19.9 pennies per gallon. Red bench front seat driving I-80 and I-70 between Golden, CO and college in Lincoln, NE. Playing spades and Rook at 55 mph in 1974-5-6, Glen was on both the pop left side of the Radio dial and the 1600 ends.
Wow. I always thought Glen Campbell was a country singer. He was a monster guitar player.
That had immense respect from the other greats. Glen is arguably top 10 of all-time.
He played on 563 sessions with the Wrecking Crew in 1963 alone.
It was said that Glenn Campbell couldn’t read music.
What a brilliant musician!
Glen was absolutely a genius. I mean he had so much talent. Then to top it all, he makes it look so easy.. My word!!! Rest in peace master Glen. You will be dearly missed.... ❤❤😢😢
What a rare talent he was. Glen will be missed for eternity. Love you Glen.
I remember fondly how our entire family would gather in front of the TV to watch the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. Too bad there are no good entertainment shows on like that now.
Agreed. I miss wholesome television too.
We slightly overlooked people like Glen because they did everything and we became too comfortable with their talent. I was little but also enjoyed that show of his, we never really knew how good he really was until now where so many arent any good.
One of the most talented players to ever pick up a guitar. A Legend.
And self taught!
@@oldtimer7635 Not true. His uncle Boo taught him.
@@arturbello4213 Of course he had help and guidance (e.g. Boo), but he never received formal guitar instruction or education. It's a big difference.
100%
the most underrated guitarist i can think of, he is an absolute beast, he could stand toe to toe with les paul danny gatton or tommy emmanuel and easily hold his own, legend
They are good, but I believe Glen is a step above them. I really Tommy and Les Paul but I've never seen them play that well and sing that great as well.
Underrated????
I'm 66 & was watching His TV show as a kid. I was a Rock n Roll generation, but was a fan of him, Roy Clark & Jerry Reed.
Not Underrated At All.
Was part of the Wrecking Crew
@@billyclub9863 i understand all that, what i mean by underrated, stand in the street and ask 100 people who they think who was the best famous guitarist out there past or present, nobody will say Glen, i bet at least 40 percent will say eric clapton though
Lol, this guy was nowhere close too any of those guys you mentioned. I want what you’re smoking
For underrated you might want to toss in Roy Buchanan. Glen was a big influence in me picking up a guitar, aside from my Dad being one of the best pianists in the world. I never missed a show on TV. An incredible talent. I also watched Lawrence Welk as a kid. Neil Levang was the guitarist in the band. He was excellent and could play anything with strings on it. Tone Chaser-GC can hang.
Glen just had it in his soul and hands. I met him once, with my father in a parking lot in Morehead City North Carolina in the 1980s, my father and Glen had the same kind of car and struck up a conversation. You would never have know he was such a celebrity. He was just grocery shopping like we were.
That's very cool to see a celebrity just being like the rest of us.
I can't say I was ever a fan of his records, but Glen Campbell is, without a doubt, one of the very best guitar players ever. His solo virtuosity and his amazing work as a studio musician with the Wrecking Crew is sterling.
Another vote for world class musicians and composers who can't read music! It's all about heart and soul, a good ear, a cup and a half of talent, and plenty of practice!
Being able to read music doesn't mean anything. Most people that I've heard than play by sheet music are no where near as good as people that play from the heart by ear.
It’s a great fusion of country and jazz
Glen was a shredder before it was even a thing. So good.
His innovation.
Glen was one of the wrecking crew. They made hundreds of songs for TV, and musicians and movies 👍👍🥳🥳🥳
Good enough to be part of the Wrecking Crew, good enough for me!
So he had millions of notes in his head, and knew where they where on the fretboard and could access them in fabulous succession. And let’s not forget songwriting, and performing. Truly one one the greats.
WE gotta have a movie about this LEGEND !!!!
I think this is the Kindest thing anyone can do in tribute to Glenn Campbell's fantastic Guitar Genius. Thank you so much.
I could watch glen campbell play all day long he was absolutely fantastic
Beyond gifted, Campbell was an absolute master of the instrument. His speed and fretboard wizardry are impressive as heck, but his melodic sensibility is truly a marvel and something all guitarists should study
Glen Campbell was a phenomenal guitar player, I never realized how great a player he was. I guess I was born a little to late. But WOW.... truly a legend for sure !!! RIP
This is why he was one of the Wrecking Crew.
Yep.
All I can say is Wow, why isn't Glen's incredible talent better known, or better when he was alive? What an incredible talent, one of the greatest musicians in American history.
Glen was shredding before that was even a word. .
From what I heard, it doesn’t get no better than that……
The William Tell Overture on a 12 string is as about insane as it gets for me. He really was so underrated.
Glen always was amazing and so underrated! But if you look (and listen) closely you' find that's actually a 12-string guitar strung with only 6 strings (often done for the slightly wider fretboard action).
I was just thinking the same thing. That is total control.
Not by Alice Cooper. Search what he thought of Glen.
@@artform1364 I’d like to hear him play smoke on the water 😂😮
Bad Fuckin ass bru ❤️✊🏿💪🏾
Glen Campbell, Chet Adkins, Roy Clark, Les Paul and Vince Gill are in thier own category
Glenn Campbell is the man that made me wanna learn how to play guitar. I used to stand there in front of the TV when he had his Glen Campbell variety hour. My parents had gotten me this little 3/4 junket guitar, and I tried to copy right along as he was playing. And that's where it all began thanks to Glen Campbell.
Eddie Van Halen once asked how he could get a guitar lesson from Glen. Let that sink in. Glen was an incredible guitarist.
Glen Campbell doesn't need to be on anyone's list as he just may be the GREATEST picker ever...
This dude could play. Fast, clean, just enough Jazz to brighten things up without making them weird.
People think "shredding" started with guys like Blackmore, Yngwie, Rhoads, Vai, etc.... Nope. This guy was it.
Really miss him and many like him.
Holy cow! I never knew! I grew up with GC on the radio year after year and till this very day I never knew the guy could totally shred. I need time to think. This changes everything I thought I knew. God bless your soul Glen. You brought joy to millions.
I was thinking the same thing. I also grew up with Glenn Campbells songs on the radio and also watched his tv variety show he had. I never realize just what a talented guitarist he was. To this day I still love his music.
Me...repeat what you said! Incredible!
Same here. No idea he played that well.
Do a search on RUclips for Glen Campbell, classical gas. Pretty cool!
I understand...
I had no idea he could play like this!!!!!!!
Nice tribute to a great talent.................RIP Glen Campbell
I had to watch it again is it still amazed at how well this man can play guitar.
One thing that stands out as a guitar player is his picking ability and technique. He strikes the strings with his pick on just about every note. Very few hammer on's/off's, tricks, or short-cuts. Very pure playing and immensely difficult to pick those things out like he does. Thank you Glenn!
Great analogy!!!
Don here from Hamilton NZ on my Wife's tablet, yes this guy was ABSOLUTELY QUITE SIMPLY BRILLIANT, man Iv'e been playing for 60 years but, this Guy was something special !!!
Agree totally, no tricks, just picks every note.... stunning.
Yes he was from the same school Al Dimeola comes from…
Jerry Reed was one of the few players that could keep up with Glen. Two underrated guitar legends.
He would visit My Grandma and he loved her corn bread . many stories told by my sis i was too young so out i did miss, Great Man and a friend great song singing picking R.I.P
Possibly the greatest guitar player of all time. To me he is.
He was shredding long before the word was even invented...
I think that Glen Campbell's career as a popular singer detracted from the fact that he was also a superbly talented guitar player. He was of course an exceptional and very in demand session player as a member of the legendary Wrecking Crew.
Yeah, he was probably never out of work for about 40 years!
When I was approaching my 7th birthday in 1970 , I had an aunt who was " with it " , ask me what I would like for my birthday . I replied , ..." I really like that Glen Campbell guy on TV , and I'd like one of his records ." I received a copy of The Twelve Strings of Glen Campbell shortly after . The acoustic guitar I got my following birthday gave way to all things with six or more strings . I'm turning 59 as I write this , and as it turns out , Glen Campbell is the gift that keeps on giving . Thank you for posting this , as it makes those of us who miss Jeff , SRV , and Jimi , miss a guy like Glen as well .
Like he was the crossover artist before that was a thing.
He's like the Al Di Meola of country music. Wow!
I know what you mean there..!
Amazing...One of the greatest guitar players who ever lived.
He goes to places I haven’t heard anyone else go to.
Big Glen Campbell fan...and there are tens of millions of us out there. I took my two sons to see the Iowa premier of the documentary I'll Be Me at Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines in I think 2015. They expected 300, and 1300 people showed up. His wife and kids were there. We sat in row 3 right near them, and they talked and answered questions about alzheimers and dementia- from which my mother suffered. He was just the best entertainer... maybe ever.
I have never seen this compilation. Thank you so much.
Glenn was a country Shredder!
“I’ll play one boys” man he sure could. Teared up several times during this video. Shows what kind of effect he could have.
Same, my grandfather, who was my only real backer when it came to being a musician, was a huge gold Era country and western, as well as even older gospel music connoisseur. I grew up on this stuff on his absolutely insane stereo. And when I say insane, I mean 12 big ass floor speakers scattered throughout the house and 6 old school Sansui quadrophonic receivers...lol. that man had me listening to this music when I was a kid in the 80s and had a guitar in my hand before I hit puberty. He passed when I was 15, 3 days before it anyway and at 40 years of age, the music that I grew up on, even though I'm a metal musician is still the driving force behind all of it, so a special thanks to that grumpy old hillbilly fart.
What an honour it must have been, being a member of a Glen Campbell audience seeing him play live. .R.I.P. to the best.
For much of the general public, Glen's mastery of the guitar was overshadowed by his heartfelt singing. Ironically he would have enjoyed more fame as a guitarist if he wasn't such an accomplished vocalist.
Glenn Campbell had great songs, was a great musician as well.
Loved his music!
What an incredible compilation!
You've heard Glen Campbell play guitar more times than you even know, as part of The Wrecking Crew he's on tons of music from the 60s
Holy ****!🙀I just watched this 8000 times.
It’s just a blues progression :)
This is one of my favourites of Mr Campbell, still brings a tear to my glass eye lol xx
I remember my parents being a big fan of his. Never understood why, until I seen him play a solo. Incredible guitarist. Way under-recognized for his real talent as a musician.
My mom and dad were really big country fans in the 70’s and named me Travis after his middle name. I play guitar and only knew of him as mainly a singer/songwriter back then hearing him sing on the radio. I never knew until years later how great a guitar player he was. I finally got to see him late in his career in Branson, MO and he put on a great show even playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. He signed autographs after the show so I got to meet him and tell him about being named after, I still have that autographed picture today from him and good memories of that day.
Really nice story, Travis..!
A true master of the guitar! 🎸 R.I.P mr. Campbell you are truely missed.
Glen Campbell and Roy Clark playing the same guitar it's just incredible. I've never seen that before he truly was in a class by himself
I've spent many years beating the hell out of my guitar and how Glen Campbell and Roy Clark aren't into top 5 best guitarist in the world is beyond me so I guess the hater out there goes to show you those who can't criticize rest in peace Roy and Glenn you're the best
WOW, what a great compilation of Glen's fantastic guitar work, he was a fabulous singer but this guitar playing is surely something that many of his singing fans knew little of.
Thanks for all the wonderful sounds and great songs you left for us Glen. RIP. Gone, but not forgotten.
I am always surprised when I see so many people say they never realized how good a player he was. I can’t play a lick but I guess I’m always listening for something that stands out as different and artistic, and Glen always displayed that. He could play just about anything and it not only sounds great but could knock your socks off. He’s long been one of my favorites.
THIS EXACTLY!!
An absolute monster...to call him a shredder is an understatement. After watching this, I wanna hang up the guitar for a good while!
No... let it inspire you..!
@@iconoclastKM of course 👍
Glenn Campbell was the man I remember watching him in the 60
I’ve been playing for years and can do all kinds of stuff on guitar. However, when I watch Glenn Campbell play I feel like a beginner on guitar. Goodness this man could play anything and with all kinds of technique, speed, and soul.
I'm like you and played for decades and I can hold my own but GC went that place beyond and lived the dream.. Thanks and take care..
Man, this what I've wanted to hear from an experienced pro guitar player. I'm thinking that Thomas guy I replied to does indeed have his pompous head up his _ _ _.
Yeah pretty much makes you just want to burn your guitars
I loved him back in the day, but I too didn't realize what an incredible guitarist he was until just a few years ago!
He is truly amazing I remember back of the kid listening to all that stuff
I meant when I was a kid
He was the true underrated guitar player of all time.
one of the greatest guitar players of any genre. He could play anything
He could walk the dog on that guitar, best I ever heard, what a talent!
Glen Campbell should be in the Rock And Roll hall of fame, there isn’t anybody who sounds like him today!!!!!!
Without question..!!!
Even better than I remember him - as good as any shredder today!
I discovered him 2 months ago. An absolute beast of a guitarist!
Even when he had his dementia he still had his music. He played until the end.
Glen Campbell can really smoke! 🎸 🔥
Dang, I never knew Glenn Campbell could shred like that!
I'm primarily a metalhead today, (I began playing Cello, listening to Pablo Casals and going to the symphony in the mid-60s), but grew up with Glen, Roy, Buck, Chet and the other greats of that era, and dang, they had real TALENT!
A self taught master of it all. shows the importance of giving a kid a musical instrument.
And he couldn't even read music. Incredible. Possibly the greatest guitarist ever.
As a kid, I grew up listening to his albums (mostly because of my parents). Until recently, I'd no idea of just what a maestro with a guitar the man is. Listening to him just tear it up and watching his fingers dance across those frets.. Blown away would be the understatement of the year.
Thanks for this posting. I'm in my mid 60's and have been playing guitar for over 50 years. I'm a jazz guitarist and Glen was one of my early influences and used to watch him and Roy Clark play every week on TV. What I later found out about Glen is that he is actually left handed and plays guitar right handed. I also play that way. What a monster player.
