      I've read/watched quite a few interviews with some of the truly great rock musicians out there. And they were well aware of what these guys could do. . And Glen Cambell was also a member of the Wrecking Crew.. A stable of studio musicians out of L.A. that also included people like Cher and Levon Helms. I believe you can find a documentary about that on NetFlix (it's called "The Wrecking Crew"). If I remember right, Cambell was one of the guitarists on a few Beach Boys albums. Back when you actually had to be a musician to be in music..

Just look at the regular exposure he got! Glen? what more could possibly be said? He could write, sing, play and act.

    Glen played guitar on most of the Beach Boys pet sounds album and even filled in on their tour when Brian Wilson got ill. He was a big part of the legendary "wrecking crew" and played on or was involved in just about every major label hit that came out. And Roy Clark, what an absolutely talented musician who thoroughly enjoyed playing. I think Roy gets overlooked because he never really chased the spotlight or recorded music in hopes of commercial success. He really just genuinely loved to play.

      @koshersalaami 3 года назад +11

      George Harrison’s biggest guitar influence in his early days was Chet. That’s one thing that makes him unique as a rock guitarist. As to greatest guitarist, it depends what kind of guitarist. I’m not sure any of these guys could do what Leo Kotke could do, though he can’t do what they could do either. Or Carlos Montoya. Or Andres Segovia. Or Al Di Meola. Or John McLaughlin. Or Ralph Towner. Or Robert Fripp. Or any number of jazz players. You want a real trip, go find an instructional video (here on RUclips) of Danny Gatton where he duplicates bluegrass banjo on a Telecaster - with a flat pick.
      If you’re looking at Hendrix, it’s not his chops that make him important, though that certainly helps; it’s his innovation. He changed the way things sounded.
      By the way, being able to play has nothing to do with being able to read. And, as a further note on this topic: Only in music are people proud of illiteracy. And there’s no excuse for it. It’s not like learning a language. Most musicians could learn the basics - I don’t mean get fluent, just learn the basics - in several hours if it took that long. On guitar reading is more difficult than on most instruments because you need to play a lot of notes simultaneously (like on piano) and because you can find the same note in several places on the necks , but there’s no reason for guitarists not to learn how to read a basic melody so they know what the head is.

    So many! The Edge, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Glen Campbell, (Buck Owens owned the country music station in town--I was the 1972 Rodeo Queen)Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, BB King, Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Mark Knopfler, and I’ve seen them all in person. How? In the 1960s when I was in high school and college we’d see bands like The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix for $3/ticket. I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah and bands all went by bus and trucks...SLC was halfway between Denver and San Francisco. SLC was one more night on the road, so they’d play with few instruments and no big display for about 400-500 people in this dusty old music hall. $3 to see The Moody Blues. Two years ago, it was $250/ticket.

      @@steveharrigan7811 8 string guitars are exceptionally eclectic used far more rarely than 6 or 7 string. The Ibanez M80M is a great example and the neck is HUGE, string spacing is no less than 90%, possibly 100% of standard.
