It’s actually not that complex a tune, it was one of the first I learned as a kid, BUT to play it like Carl and Glen IS incredibly complex and difficult!
Oh my goodness, Fil! You can feature Glen Campbell as often as you want! This is great-both were playing at the highest level. Thanks for this fun analysis!
Have you done any analysis of country singer/picker Jerry Reid? He is really good as well. Was in Smokey in the Bandit movie. His songs are funny as well, Amos Moses is a good one.
Yes, Glen was an impeccable musician in addition to being a singer. Before he was a star, he was a member of the Wrecking Crew--session musicians playing on many recordings for other artists in the 60s. He even toured with the Beach Boys. Thanks, Fil, for another good one.
@@helena51troy Those songs you mention are, actually, written, by, the great: Jimmy Webb. [That's not taking ANYTHING away from Glen's genius! Glen did write songs across his lifetime ("Bull Durham", "Spanish Shades", "Fate Of Man" - among others), but (as was the common practice (prior to 🤷🤷 circa-1965(-ish) ...and even then....), the majority of his songs were: written by other song-writers (professional song-writers. "Brill Building" types) ...which, effectively, "went out of style" (and developed a "lesser respect" for itself) after: Bob Dylan and The Beatles (and a large number of their, soon-to-be, compatriots) became known and lauded for: writing and arranging their own material!).
As for the comment that you missed a note and should have practiced more, the obviously unrehearsed nature of your analysis is part of what makes me appreciate your skill. Without practice or previous review, you can hear everything that's going on in a song, then turn around and nearly duplicate the keys, cords, progressions, notes, etc. That takes a mastery of music and of your instrument. Respect your talent my friend.
Glen Campbell was always someone I was aware of through my dad but I didn’t appreciate until recently how naturally musically talented he is. He makes everything look so easy. A true artist and one of a kind.
How can you not smile after that performance. What a song! Oh, and "Git-tar" is more of a Southern U.S. thing. Most people here in the U.S. say it the same as you, Fil. lol
Glen Campbell was on another level that very, very few musicians ever reached! Thanks Fil! You could feature Glen every other day and I'd still not get enough of his immense talent!
So much fun, thank you! Another fantastic banjo tune popularized by a movie is Foggy Mountain Breakdown, by Earl Scruggs, featured in the film "Bonnie & Clyde". Someone commented: "in the state of Kentucky if this song comes on the radio while you are in a motor vehicle you are legally obligated to get into a car chase..." 🤣😂🤣
I heard Glen's songs when I was a teenager, but I never realized what an expert guitarist he was. Thank you so much---and you can show us videos of his expertise any time you find one!
Glen could do this in his sleep! This is one of the few times that I can actually smile continuously while watching an instrumental performance. Glen just smiles and has fun with it, while Carl shows him that he can meet him at that level! Great analysis video, well done!
A friend of mine ran spot light when Glen Campbell came to town on his last tour. He asked him if he could still play as well as he used to. When the concert was over, the band members were asking each other where all that unexpected virtuosity had come from! Apparently, Glen could still play that well, especially when challenged, even though my friend didn’t doubt Glen’s abilities for a second. Thanks for featuring him again, Fil!
It’s so nice to see such a humble and unassuming country boy like Glen Campbell in the beginning of the video….and then he lets loose with his awesome guitar playing. Talent is a wonderful thing! 😁
I think it's really cool when you analyze bluegrass. I love seeing your take on it, and how much you appreciate the talent involved. I grew up around it, of course, having a lot of bluegrass musicians in the family. This performance made me feel right at home 😊.
When you are so good you can add your own flare to an already incredible piece of music, you have achieved a level such as Glen Campbell. I had the pleasure of seeing Glen on his last tour when Alzheimer's disease was taking him. He never once had to figure out how to play what song they were playing and he was still INCREDIBLE on the guitar. There were many monitors lining the stage feeding him words to the songs, but that playing...brings tears to my eyes thinking of his talent and loss. So grateful you featured him, Fil!
Thanks for explaining/doing that rhythm thing Glen was doing. I kinda missed it. (Though I have heard this song a million times.) The whole thing is amazing. I love how they looked at each other with mutual respect. Two masters at work! So glad it was captured on video.
I think that we all enjoyed this one as much as you obviously did. Two great musicians, being allowed to do their thing, without the interference of someone who thinks that they can make it sound "better". I mean...can it even get better than this? ❤️🇨🇦
This was a great performance here by Glen Campbell, Carl Jackson and you Fil. you can tell that Glen and Carl were having fun here two skilled musicians at their craft entertaining the audience in the studio and at home.
Out standing ! I never get tired of seeing Glen Campbell videos on your show. Your analysis of old school country music greats are always "spot on" as you say. Great job Fil. Rock on
That was great! Thank you so much for showcasing these great legends. Glen Campbell was one of the most talented entertainers & guitarists in the world. Carl Jackson was in Campbell's band for 12 years & he produced Glen Campbell’s final studio album.
I saw Glen Campbell in a concert he did not long before he passed away. He was not only a great artist but a great showman and very fan oriented. Making sure his fans appreciated his shows was very important to him and he was so friendly when he was talking to his fans after the show
And his already-great vocals improved with age. If it was his PBS special you are referring to-it was an amazing concert. Not available online anywhere that I can find. My sister has the DVD. He was a stunning performer.😊
@@kjmav10135 No, I wasn't referring to his PBS special. I saw him live in person.... Live --- as in after the concert I met him, got his autograph, we spoke to each other and I shook his hand. Same with Roy Clark at another concert.
So good! I'm an old chick who likes classic rock, although I can appreciate other genres...I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by the banjo ❤
Thanks for this. Carl Jackson has played banjo from a very early age. By age 14 he was playing on the road with relatively prominent bluegrass team of Jim and Jesse. He is also a world class guitarist. Mandolin too.
FIL! I can’t even explain how excited I was to see that you were reviewing this performance! The original video has 64k views, and I’d venture a guess that 60k of those are from me!! 😂 I love these two talented guys! Thank you! I enjoyed your commentary so much!
Another perfect analysis Fil. What always impresses me when I see this video of Glen and Carl is the amount of notes played as the time moves from one second to the next. Unnatural picking from them.
Quite astonishing to watch Carl and see how calm his hand stays while the sound is frantic. As you say, just picking with the fingers. Just smiling away. It must be a great feeling to have that much command and control over an instrument. Glen is always fascinating to watch and listen to.
This was so fun. It is a testament to you as a musician that you can just pick this stuff out seemingly so easily on a piece you were not that familiar with. Love it!
Fil, I had Glen Campbell and Carl Jackson on an album in the early seventies, sadly lost now, I played it to death. Thanks for posting their breathtaking playing. And by the way, you’re a hell of a player yourself.
Great analysis and demo as usual Fil. Glen got Carl to teach his daughter Ashley to play guitar and banjo. Could you do an analysis of Carl sometime? He is a fantastic musician on guitar and banjo and he does a wonderful version of Gentle On My Mind. Carl was a musician who could hold his own with Glen
Who doesn't love Glen! "The Dillards" did Duelin' Banjo with a Mandolin and Banjo. Really good too. They made appearances on The Andy Griffith Show in 1960s as the Darlings.
I watch a lot of reaction videos, most are very innocuous, so I really appreciate coming over to your channel and hearing an analysis from someone who really knows what they're talking about. So refreshing. Keep it up...and thanks.
That was such a great performance by both Glen and Carl. So much talent and technique. I enjoyed this analysis including your breakdown on the guitar. 😊🎸🎵
Hi Fil,I didn’t really appreciate Glen until I watched one of your earlier episodes and saw his flying fingers and the skill required to achieve his amazing level of playing,I also have to say your enthusiasm made me smile to,cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
Nice one. Sadly there’s no video on you tube of Glen and Carl playing ‘gentle on my mind’ where the banjo picking by Carl is off the scale. It’s on the (very low cost) Glen Campbell ‘rhinestone cowboy live’ album. It’s worth listening to. The thing that gets me about banjo picking is how economical it is - the fingers don’t seem to move as fast as the notes flying out of the instrument.
Great performance, and very light-hearted, I can see why Fil is smiling through the whole thing, as I was as well, in spite of the mental association of this song with "Deliverance". Glen Campbell and Carl Jackson are both very talented players.
Absolutely other worldly to see Fil playing bluegrass. Come over to the mountains in the Southern US. Talk about face melting! The bluegrass festivals are fantastic!
@@1msbucket I lived in Boone, NC and Ashe County, NC for over 15 years. There are tons of bluegrass festivals in the summer time. Went to one where they had pulled in a flat bed semi and used it for the stage. Great times! 🥰
Great analysis, Fil! When I was young a lot of us pickers wanted an Ovation guitar thinking it would help us play like Glen😂. Years later I bought a vintage Martin and I never sounded a bit like Tony Rice! In my experience the textured Lyrachord back of an Ovation did tend to catch up on rougher weave fabrics and leather, whereas the smooth varnished back of a dreadnought guitar didn’t catch or grab. Lo and behold, purchasing an Ovation didn’t make me sound like Glen, and I always found the rounded back problematic. It made it hard to hold the guitar either while sitting or standing. It’s a poor workman who blames his tools, and obviously Glen got the hang of his Ovations. I did later find that the rounded back and lighter weight of an Ovation was perfect for playing while recovering in a hospital bed.
I've been watching guitarist Matteo Mancuso. He uses a banjo/bass style of playing on guitar. It's amazing to me the speed he can get with this style. But yes, Thanks for another Glen video. One of a kind...!
Great analysis brother 😃 Talented guys! Very humble too. I grew up on a dirt road in the country. We had one channel and always watched Hee Haw on Saturday evenings. Good clean humor and talented musicians. Good times 😃 Thanks for sharing this! Peace love and blessings.
Oh yeah, I remember that. Hated it. Lol! Didn't appreciate the music either. But here I am. Goes to show ya what age does. One gets better taste as you get older.
In the intro I think the banjo is playing the melody as single notes but adding the top G string over the top to fatten it up. Standard banjo tuning is an open G. Fil I think you would love playing banjo it is addictive
FIL , what a fun analysis! Dueling Banjos is so fun ! Carl is just great with Glenn ! I enjoyed seeing Rocker Fil go a bit country today 😅 ! It looked like you were enjoying this one also ! Very nice analysis, great talent !
I almost wanted to watch the performance twice...once to watch Glen's fingers fly and again to see how happy FIL looked as he watched them!! Once again, a great analysis!
No matter what you serve up, Fil..it's so great!! This was a totally unexpected treat, which brought back memories. I didn't pay it much mind at the time, but, it's pretty genius! Thanks so much for all you do. I love music, especially rock..I can't read sheet music or play a note, but, everything you demonstrate is great. SO enjoyable! Stay safe and sane, etc. Rosemarie ❤
Fil I apologize for misspelling your name! I love it that you are featuring Glen. He was a phenomenal artist and I am so glad you are showcasing his immense talent!
The first thing I noticed was Carl's pushing. I Googled Carl Jackson and WOW what a resume he has! Glenn was a master of acoustic and electric guitar. Very underrated guitar here in the US. He is missed for sure. Great video!
Great analysis! The other amazing thing is just how well coordinated they are, as this was probably just one of many songs on the show - and I doubt they had much chance to rehearse given Glenn's was a weekly show.
Fil a absolutely great vlog! Not many know how Prolific Glenn Campbell was, not only a multi recording studio musician but a full blow artist . He was a true inspiration and Guitar legend in the class of great guitar heroes. RIP ...Ty Fil this was a awesome vlog Cheers friend!✌🏼🤘🏼💫
Your smile of amazement every time you Analyze guitarists like glen or roy clark says it all.. Because he was a great singer, A lot of people don't know how great he was on guitar.. I'm sure by now you've probably seen the movie deliverance that this song comes from.. But if not you should.. A lot of t v shows and movies make reference to it to this day..🤗👍
Fil, so glad you've found this. Being a Glen Campbell fan, I went to see him with his own little band at a nightclub in Southend on Sea in 1973. Glen and the band were the only ones on stage, no orchestra ! The audience exchanged banter with them and bought them drinks all evening, which greatly bemused them. Carl was just twenty years old and his playing was outrageous even then. This performance is superb, but even better is Foggy Mountain Breakdown from the film Bonnie and Clyde. Have a look at that!
Hi Fil, Wow! What an amazing performance. The best of the best here. And your great guitar technique demonstration. This was a good example of two top level musicians. Great job on this analysis. Very fun song to listen to and watch being played! Debbie ☮️
I grew up listening to a couple of my dad’s Flatt and Scruggs albums (in the late 60’s and 70’s-I’m old) and when I got older I bought their complete Mercury Sessions collection and there’s something about that call-and-response that just glued me to my seat-even when I was 7 or 8. Great stuff! (Always great videos Fil. You picked that up so quickly that I’m sure you would get hired by the Foggy Mountain Boys in a flash! Your hard work is appreciated) 👍🏼❤️🫡
You know the playing is top notch when you see such a happy grin on Fil’s face while he is watching the video of discussion.
The grin was evident even before any music 😀 matched Glenn's grin
Love his smile!
Yep! His smile always gives it away. I kept waiting for him to start moving his whole body on this one!
I was just going to comment on the same thing! Lol.
I was thinking the same thing! lol, if his smile got any bigger, the top of his head would fall off!
Glen was self taught starting out as a young toddler....amazing talent...RIP MR CAMPBELL
And he could not read written music… amazing!
How great! They’re so laid back while playing an incredibly complex tune. You can feature Glen anytime!! Glad you enjoyed it too. Thanks Fil!
It’s actually not that complex a tune, it was one of the first I learned as a kid, BUT to play it like Carl and Glen IS incredibly complex and difficult!
Oh my goodness, Fil! You can feature Glen Campbell as often as you want! This is great-both were playing at the highest level. Thanks for this fun analysis!
Agreed. Glen is really good to show on these breakdowns because he was such a great session player before his solo career.
I totally agree, he can feature Glen Campbell every week and I'll be happy!
Have you done any analysis of country singer/picker Jerry Reid? He is really good as well. Was in Smokey in the Bandit movie.
His songs are funny as well, Amos Moses is a good one.

Campbell was so talented. He wrote some beautiful lyrics as in Witchita Lineman and Galveston.

It’s so nice to see such a humble and unassuming country boy like Glen Campbell in the beginning of the video….and then he lets loose with his awesome guitar playing. Talent is a wonderful thing! 😁
Wow!!! No autotine or pitch correction just two great musicians sharing the moment.
And it is live yippee

Loved this ❤
Thanks!
You probably know the song but "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams is another classic from this era and worthy of your time for a reaction
It was a GREAT song, yes! We'd hear it EVERYWHERE back then. 🙂
Oddly enough, that song popped into my head just a couple of days ago. Hadn’t heard it in forever.
The most interesting thing about Classical Gas is that Mason Williams played ALL of the instruments, then added them all together.
Glen Campbell also played Classical Gas. I think with Mason's blessings
Out standing ! I never get tired of seeing Glen Campbell videos on your show. Your analysis of old school country music greats are always "spot on" as you say. Great job Fil. Rock on
Glen was stupefyingly talented.
Love these vintage performances being pretty vintage myself. :D
Oh hell yeah! More Glenn Campbell is never a bad thing in my book!! Quite possibly the most underrated musician ever!!!
That was great! Thank you so much for showcasing these great legends. Glen Campbell was one of the most talented entertainers & guitarists in the world. Carl Jackson was in Campbell's band for 12 years & he produced Glen Campbell’s final studio album.

I couldn't help grinning when Fil said "This isn't going to be an instructional video."
What fun!! This captures the pure enjoyment music brings into the lives of skilled musicians and us listeners.
Glen always looks like he is sincerely enjoying what he’s doing. He never looks like it’s just a “ job “. Love watching him perform!
There is never any reason to apologize for featuring Glen Campbell.

Thanks for reminding me of the fabulous Dillard’s!
Doug Dillard made two albums with musical genius Gene Clark founding member of The Byrds.....😊

Glen Campbell is renowned worldwide as one of the absolute best guitarists in the history of music.
Great analysis Fil. You're the best.
Thanks!
You are a great musician, Phil.
Thanks!
Nothing more satisfying than seeing your genuine smile to Glen's playing because YOU are the one who introduced me to him.

Fantastic musician and vocalist 👏👏
I love watching you having fun with the music. That's what it's about--having fun
I think what I liked about this, was the precision in the ending. The were both done strumming in unison! Awesome.
I like Glen Campbell music and this one is really great.
I almost wanted to watch the performance twice...once to watch Glen's fingers fly and again to see how happy FIL looked as he watched them!!
Once again, a great analysis!
Knee high to a grasshopper . Dualing bangoes,I learned one summer. It was fun. Well played gentlemen.
It's dazzling, Fil..!! A virtuoso duo.. impressive, Thank you' sweet.!!💌

This is so good, that Fil plays the performance without interruption. Has that ever happened before?
Awesome…You have the musical sensibilities of a Texan…love your style and channel
Fil a absolutely great vlog! Not many know how Prolific Glenn Campbell was, not only a multi recording studio musician but a full blow artist . He was a true inspiration and Guitar legend in the class of great guitar heroes. RIP ...Ty Fil this was a awesome vlog Cheers friend!✌🏼🤘🏼💫
Your smile of amazement every time you Analyze guitarists like glen or roy clark says it all.. Because he was a great singer, A lot of people don't know how great he was on guitar.. I'm sure by now you've probably seen the movie deliverance that this song comes from.. But if not you should.. A lot of t v shows and movies make reference to it to this day..🤗👍
Fil, so glad you've found this. Being a Glen Campbell fan, I went to see him with his own little band at a nightclub in Southend on Sea in 1973. Glen and the band were the only ones on stage, no orchestra ! The audience exchanged banter with them and bought them drinks all evening, which greatly bemused them. Carl was just twenty years old and his playing was outrageous even then. This performance is superb, but even better is Foggy Mountain Breakdown from the film Bonnie and Clyde. Have a look at that!
Hi Fil,
Wow! What an amazing performance. The best of the best here. And your great guitar technique demonstration. This was a good example of two top level musicians. Great job on this analysis. Very fun song to listen to and watch being played!

This makes me feel old. When I was learning guitar, this was one of the songs everyone worked on.
I grew up listening to a couple of my dad’s Flatt and Scruggs albums (in the late 60’s and 70’s-I’m old) and when I got older I bought their complete Mercury Sessions collection and there’s something about that call-and-response that just glued me to my seat-even when I was 7 or 8. Great stuff! (Always great videos Fil. You picked that up so quickly that I’m sure you would get hired by the Foggy Mountain Boys in a flash! Your hard work is appreciated) 👍🏼❤️🫡
