One of the best pickers who ever lived and couldn't read a note of sheet music, now that's talent. RIP Glen

Glen and Roy Clark cannot be replaced

There will never be another Glen Campbell ! He was truly one of a kind ! A phenomenal singer, guitarist, entertainer. he never lipsinked any performance and his TV show gave a glimpse of how truly versatile he was accompanying all his guests !

Glen Campbell was one of the finest musicians that ever lived The man was a genius RIP Great video btw 👏🏻👍🏻
-
There was nobody better than Glen and Roy Clark. Just the best.

Glen Campbell is one on the kings of guitar improvisation. People have broken down this improvisation solo to include major, minor scales, and other scales as identified by college trained musicians. He openly stated he can not read music. However, he does k know bar chords. What a gift.
-
I had the great good fortune of seeing Glen Campbell open for a country music show in Phoenix AZ in the mid-'60's. He was the best!
-
Glen, the redneck Mozart. Not just his awesome guitar playing, but the total package for a musician... Great job on this one-THANK YOU!
-
I had a backstage pass at one of his shows, when he was in his prime, and spent about 10-15 minutes talking with him. He was just as cordial as could be....like you were talking to your next door neighbor. We talked about his tv show, the cool solos he did with Johnny Hartford, We talked about John Wayne and the set of True Grit. Then his daughter took a photo of us together. It was am amazing moment. Yes, I'm a guitarist. And his show was just fantastic.

I miss those days. He was such an unassuming guitar hero.

And not to mention all the other great singers & Musicians that were there, funny as I grew up playing Guitar I looked at Eric Clapton, Hendrix, and a host of others but what really turned me on was watching Glen Campbell & Roy Clark on Hee Haw and realizing just how great they both were. Not to mention how many songs he played as a Session musician on so many records. He was one of the Best..!!!

Glen was one of the greats for sure and a member of the The Wrecking Crew. That group of studio musicians were famous for their ability to create this kind of musical magic on the fly leaving everyone with a look of awe like in the video.
-
You're fearless. Nobody can ever say you shy away from the hard stuff. Fantastic job.
-
I respect you because you respect him. Even under the grip of dimensia, Glen could still play. I've enjoyed his music since the 70's. A truly gifted man.
-
I’m 61 and used to watch glen sing and play on TV In the 60s, and I remember He was amazing. He was always good, actually better than good
-
I love the way that a guy as masterful as Roy Clark was leaning in and looking so intrigued by Glens playing in that clip. Priceless!
-
The video of Crystal Gayle smiling and nodding at 00:36 while Glen picks away is awesome/priceless.
-
Very well done! I get a kick out of people saying Glen's playing wasn't recognized or was under appreciated. Just who is it that didn't know about Glen Campbell? He spent over 40 years performing around the world and everybody I know would place him at or near the top. Even the rockers and punkers would stop to watch Glen (or Roy or Jerry Reed) play on TV, at least as far back as the 70's.

Magnificent analysis! What an inspiration Glen Campbell was and remains.
