This dude is UNREAL!! And with the "Over The Head Playing!" Come on now!!!
He was "the magic 12-string" for a reason. And yes, it's harder than a 6-string for this. One of the best guitarists ever.
Tough to see, but several times, he signals the orchestra to SPEED UP.
His guitar solo in Wichita Lineman is a joy to the ears and Galveston always makes me cry. Thank you for all of your reactions, am enjoying the journey😊 Hi from Melbourne, Australia
Wichita Lineman! Homage to the lineman who keep us connected to each other without fail, in all kinds of weather conditions, 24/7. Bless those heros and all others like them! ❤️
Glen is known for being one of the greatest session guitarist ever
Absolutely phenomenal!!! ❤️
I told you this would blow your mind. Glenn Campbell was a hell of a guitar player.
random factoid from Wikipedia: From December 1964 to early March 1965, Campbell was a touring member of the Beach Boys, filling in for Brian Wilson, playing bass guitar and singing falsetto harmonies.⬅
That is a backward way of introducing that Glen wasn't just a musician, he was an extremely talented and popular singer as well. His hits includes Rhinestone Cowboy, Wichita Lineman, Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, and Galveston.
Rest in peace, dear dear Glen Campbell ❤
You must check out Rhinestone Cowboy, Wichita Lineman, Gentle on My Mind, Southern Nights. All bangers from the great Glen Campbell. He did a christmas album in the late 60's/early 70's which still brings tears to my eyes. The songs "Little Alter Boy" and "Pretty Paper" are so very beautiful.
Aside from his prowess on the guitar, Glenn had a solid 10 year run of chart hits on both the Pop and Country charts from 1967 to 77.
"I'm Not Gonna Miss You" is the last song to be recorded by Campbell. The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 87th Academy Awards. During the ceremony, the song was performed by Tim McGraw. It also won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 2015. The video is on TH-cam.
He was diagnosed with advanced alzheimer disease in 2011 after a 2009 diagnosis of cognitive decline. After the 2011 diagnosis he did his year long Goodbye Tour. He was able to continue playing thanks to his children who were part of the band using muscle memory. They did a documentary about him. Watch that if you get a chance, have tissues.
Glen Campbell was a hero of mine as a child. He wasn't totally country, more like contry/pop. I grew up listening to him when I was a kid. In 1969 my parents took me to see the John Wayne movie "True Grit". Glen Campbell was the co-star in that movie. His character died in the movie and I thought he was really DEAD! (I was 5 years old). I was crying so much that my dad picked me up and we had to leave the movie early. LOL!
😂🤣 I feel ya! Never fun when your favorite character don’t make it!
Saw Glen Campbell in Anderson, IN years ago...easily one of the top five guitarist I have ever seen...kicked total ass...great voice too. He started out as a great session guitarist.
Glenn had no formal training playing guitar, singing, and sogwriting. His dad bought him a $5 Sears guitar for his 4th birthday and by age 6 he was playing at local radio stations.
From Wikipedia;
Glen Travis Campbell (April 22, 1936 - August 8, 2017) was an American country singer, guitarist, songwriter, and actor. He was best known for a series of hit songs in the 1960s and 1970s, and for hosting The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on CBS television from 1969 until 1972.[2] He released 64 albums in a career that spanned five decades, selling over 45 million records worldwide, including twelve gold albums, four platinum albums, and one double-platinum album.
Eddie Van Halen had a lesson from Glen Campbell at Eddie's request. This was not at the start of his career, but at the top of Van Halen's success.
Check out his “Gentle on my Mind”. He has a great voice and his lyrics are fantastic
Glenn Campbell was smoking hot. Loved his TV show as well.
Glen is a hell of a singer, one of the greatest songs EVER is "Gentle on My Mind" the lyrics are captivating
Glen Campbell and Alice Cooper were golfing buddies .. Alice says Glen was a top 5 guitarist.
He was part of The Wrecking Crew. In the 60s you couldn't do better than them or The Funk Brothers.
I just heard about another song that Glenn just absolutely shreds. It’s called back home again in Indiana.
Seton Hill Studios: Glen Campbell’s biggest hit was a song written by John Hartford called “Gentle On My Mind”. It was so hugely popular, everyone including Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Aretha Franklin did a version of it. It won 4 Grammy awards. Hartford was a frequent guest and banjo player on Glen’s tv show. (It’s one of those songs to practice singing while doing rudiments on double bass drum!😅)
I find it hard to believe so many people here think Glen Campbell wasn’t well known. He had his own weekly prime time tv show when there only 3 channels. It lasted for 4 years. This song is relatively simple compared to a lot of his other stuff. Watch some of his playing on the “Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour” He was one of my big influences.
Glen didn’t pull a Stevie Ray Vaughan, Stevie pulled a Glen Campbell.
Glen played on so many hit songs in the 60’s from Rock and Roll to Country to Swing, and maybe even a little Motown .
He played on most of The Beach Boys hits as well as being a touring member of The Beach Boys in 1964 / 65. He pls on The Righteous Brothers hits, The Monkees, The Mamas and Papas, Jan And Dean, Ricky Nelson, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Dean Martin, Simon and Garfunkel, The Markettes, and soooo many more!
He was a member of The Champs, The Trophies, The Fleas. I could go on but it’s time for dinner!
Ok bye!
Absolutely right!
And he became a star as a singer! Before he made it he was one of the top session players in Hollywood for many years.
I'm a Rhinestone Cowboy
so
Once again thank you.
Although he just as good on a 6th string you can tell he enjoyed playing the 12th string.
Kind of his thing.
My first time hearing/seeing a voice box being used before Iron Butterfly used one in Butterfly Bleu was Glen Campbell using one on a variety show. Don't remember
What Iron Butterfly did with the voice box Before Peter Frampton was wild.
Another great guitarist you may not have heard of is Tommy Emmanuel. Classical Gas (cover) is his signature song.
He takes bending the strings to a whole new level on acoustic.
Most underrated guitar wizard ever. I’ve heard that Edward Van Halen used to crack that he needed to take a lesson from Glen Campbell, that carries some weight.
One of Glenn's best friends was Alice Cooper. The story was that Eddie asked Alice to approach Glenn about some lessons. No further details were given but I suspect that it was in some narrow or nuanced area of playing and not just lessons in general.
@@richdiddens4059 Thanks for the info, I’m sure that EVH was acknowledging his admiration for Glenn.
Now watch Glen & Roy pick the same guitar at the same time...a 2 for 1 deal.😂
Roy Clark picking & singing(black & white clip) "folsom prison blues" & doing sound effects with the electric guitar.
This song was a hit for Johnny Cash.
Don't forget to check out other country greats Chet Atkins & Jerry Reed. Sometimes all four of them(Roy, Glenn, Jerry & Chet) would play together.
I bet your list of singer/ musicians is getting very long for all genres. So much music to discover & so little time.
There was a half hour show called, "Love American Style" they did comedy story skits(10-15 mins long)actors & singers. One week l watched a episode with Mel Tillis, the next week it was Roy Clark. We had so great shows to watch back then & only 3 major channels. CBS, NBC, ABC & PBS if you could get it in with your antenna.
Hiyo Silver, awayyyy! 😀Glen Campbell was such a talented guitarist. Look at those fingers flying on those strings! Amazing. So glad you reacted to this. Brings back great memories of a fav tv show. Thanks, 'Kimosabe'. 👍
When he was with the Wrecking Crew, He backed everyone from Sinatra to the Beach Boys and more, before going solo. Biggie, He can't read music, he learned by ear. Try Gentle On My Mind, Galveston, Where's The Playground Suzi, Rhinestone Cowboy, True Grit.
His uncle was a good guitarist and taught him how to play, without reading music.
More on Campbell: December 1964 to March 1965, Campbell was a touring member of the Beach Boys, filling in for Brian Wilson.
He is self-taught and although he never learned to read music, Mr. Campbell was at ease not just on guitar but also on banjo, mandolin and bass. He wrote in his autobiography, “Rhinestone Cowboy” (1994) - the title was taken from one of his biggest hits - that in 1963 alone his playing and singing were heard on 586 recorded songs.
If you want to see him do some really amazing picking, check out him playing back home in Indiana
Thanks for this classic performance and concert... after you get through becoming more familiar and amazed by ALL of Glen's rare talent and outstanding musical career, you should grab yourself a hanky and watch the incredible and TOUCHING documentary on Glen's life called I'll Be Me!!! Shawn
Oh cool! I’ll have to check that out! Thanks Shawn! 😁
Glen Campbell was one of the best guitar players. Do you know he started out as a member of The Beach Boys. The guy is also known to have perfect pitch and could harmonize with anyone.
Glen Campbell, the world’s greatest guitarist that no one even knew about. You should do a Carol Kaye reaction next!!
@@caryd67 ooh great choice!
The industry knew exactly who Glen was. He played on many albums as a studio musician. Ask Alice Cooper.
He had his own prime time tv show watched by millions of people each week. Everyone knew who he was.
@@emerald1805 *musicians* knew who he was. Fans of The Monkees and Sonny and Cher, the Beach Boys and on and on….. and millions of other music fans, and band fans had absolutely no clue.
@@caryd67you're crazy, the dude was a super star.
HE DID A LOT OF STUDIO WORK.
I read somewhere that he in just 1 year was playing on 453 recordings of songs, I think it was 1963 or 1964. I think they tried to do in average 3 songs in 3hrs of studio time back then - studiotime was expensive so the labels wanted expert sudiomusicians even if they was expensive to lower cost. I talso read Glen Campbell and Carol Kaye (famouse as bassplayer in Wreching Crew) in the early and mid 60s made more money as studiomusicers than the US president..
@@jamescofer3261 Jimmy Page was a studio musician too before joining Led Zeppelin and the Yardbirds.
I fi d the twelve string more difficult but, Glenn made it look easy.
Playing 12 string is usually more difficult than playing a 6 string.
What's unbelievable is that the crowd didn't give them a standing O
Glenn was a Master on the 12 string..
And most people know him for his country pop hits just strumming the guitar and singing
🎉now you need to react to Ghost chickens in the sky with Leroy Troy and Marty Stuart! You’ll love it!
Great, fun reaction, Steven. 😀
Thanks so much Linda!! 😁
I don't know if you've ever seen it but most likely have, if not, check out The 'Drum Battles' from Godsmack.
I can'y wait for your reaction to Carrie Underwoods Temporary Home
Now watch Buddy Greene do that at Carnegie Hall with only a harmonica- it will blow your mind!
Way to go Steven. Glen had a couple of famous songs but they never really showcased his guitar prowess. A lot of the general public didn’t know that he was a studio player with The Wrecking Crew and actually played on a ton of different songs including The Beach Boys. The only thing is that this is not the acoustic one like I and someone else suggested. But still good.
He also plays Classical Gas, which is absolutely amazing.
Try MacArthur Park live with Glen Campbell and orchestra.
In the mid-to-late 70s, my dad had the fortune of getting to meet and hang out with Glen Campbell. It involved a company golf tournament and my dad picking Glenn up and driving him there. Also had dinner and Glenn really took to my older sister, who was into equestrian horse riding and jumping, and we owned a couple horses ourselves, and my dad just loves old westerns and the singing cowboys and old country music.
So Glenn liked my father as well.
. From what I understand he was a really great person to be around, down to earth.
Very talented guitar player and singer-songwriter.
Golfing maybe not so much. Lol
That’s so awesome though! Thanks for sharing! 😄
@@setonhillstudios well I just spoke with my father and got some clarification.
My dad was a member of the Jaycees. And there was a Johnny bench golf tournament here in Tampa Florida and my dad was a member of the Jaycees and picked Glen Campbell up for the golf tournament.
Apparently my dad couldn't go to the show that was held later on and my dad asked Glenn if there was anything he could do so my dad could get in to see the show.
He said he'll call the house later and my dad said my wife wouldn't believe it if it was you calling, so maybe he should call Glenn later.
Long story short.... My mom & dad ended up getting a table in the front as VIP guests of Glen Campbell.
A man approached my dad and asked if he minded if Mickey Mantle sat at his table.
So my dad ended up watching this Glen Campbell show and at his table were Johnny Bench, New York Yankee greats, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and the guy who played Goober on The Andy Griffith show(George Little). While his Jaycees buddies were sitting in the back.
@@c.willharden9589 What?! That might be the craziest story ever!!! How cool is that! 🤯
@@setonhillstudios, Glen and Alice Cooper were great golfing buddies in Scottsdale Az!
Now do Buddy Greene Carnegie Hall one of the world's best harmonics players.
Watch the Alice Cooper interview about Glen Campbell.
Oh snap! I’ll have to check that out! Thanks!
Now you got to do Jerry Reed lol! Amos Moses , Eastbound and Down, When you're Hot you're Hot , The Bird , Lord Mr. Ford
Yes, yes, YES! Amos Moses is a must! But so is his version of “Preacher & the Bear”!
Glen is a country icon on the guitar, and song writer. How about checking out Chet Atkins for some clean guitar pickin'...Great review again.
Welcome to the club Seton. Join a prior generation or 2 who were floored by Glen. Obviously he could play anything. I think of him as a virtuoso who had a leaning toward country music, but that in no way defined him. He crossed lines of pop/rock/country/easy listening or anything else. Other testaments to his range includes "Wichita Lineman" and "McArthur Park".
Appreciate it and thanks for watching! You can call me Steven! Have a great day! 😁
I do believe that is the fastest that I have ever heard thus song played and also IS the fastest that it can be played. That was really something. Glen had a TV variety show I think early 70's. One of his best songs is WITCHITAW LINEMAN. I think that how it is spelled????
Wichita, but you were close.
Just as a side note, Glenn Campbell was a former member of the Beach Boys.
He was a contract Studio artist that filled in playing guitar for a number of different groups.
@@decolonizeEverywhere He actually toured with them for a few months, filling in for Brian Wilson '64-'65.
@@karaokekraziness3891 yes, that's what a studio contracted musician does. They fill in in studio sessions and go on tours, which he did with several different groups and artists because that's what he did in between his own tours and before he got too busy with his own career.
He started off as a member of The Wrecking Crew, I highly recommend that documentary
Try Stanley Jordon playing Stairway to Heaven on two guitars at the same time.
Es el tema del programa y película que en español se llamó El Llanero Solitario en 1960s y 1970s
More like Stevie Ray Vaughan doing the Glen Campbell.
This guy is a lot wilder than I knew of him. I just know a coup radio hits so I'm enjoying seeing this new stuff with everyone. And I just noticed you hit 30K!!! Congrats, Steven. 100K is right around the corner!🤘🤘
Really appreciate it Stosh! Having a blast and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
@@setonhillstudios I just hope it doesn't become too much. Seems like your life is pretty full already. Are you ready for stardom?😆😆
@@snakeinthegrass7443 Thanks! I don’t think I have to worry too much about stardom! 😂
Wow, what a cool "cover"! Great guitar work! (and I'm all in when an orchestra chimes in with rock or any other type of music)
For another "cool cover", check out Sachal Studios cover of Take Five. An amazing Pakistani version of the jazz classic.
Glenn is a great loss ... and missed by all.
An unbelievable voice with a phenomenal skill on guitar.
Here is another sadly missed star, Karen Carpenter....known as the Voice of an Angel, but she had the hands of a goddess on the drumkit..
th-cam.com/video/ie1WWWOxhMs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d6Q39RhgvD7gpR3Y
His daughter Ashley plays a mean Banjo. Should check out one of their duets.
Oh cool! I bet that’s something to see! Thanks for the info! 😁
Also, a good version of this when he was younger and using an acoustic on You Tube
Jimi Hendrix used to play behind the head long before Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Before them, Roy Clark and James Burton were also playing behind their heads.
I didn't check your playlist, but if you haven't checked out Roy Clark playing Malaguena, it's a must listen.
@@sallymorehouse3179 I actually just checked it out not too long ago and that’s kind of what sent me down this rabbit hole! It was phenomenal and blew my mind!! 😳
If you are always looking for beasts on their instruments, check out King Crimson.
Here’s Elephant Talk from 1981. It starts with Tony Levin on Chapman Stick (an instrument you may not be familiar with). It’s all tapping. He’s laying down the bass and rhythm “guitar.” Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, and Robert Fripp on guitar. Bill Bruford on drums. That will get you started. The catalog is deep, and while they are all incredible, Fripp is the true beast, writing and performing some of the hardest guitar parts by anybody (Fracture and FraKCtured both come to mind). You’ll also hear him on some of Peter Gabriel’s and David Bowie’s work, among others.
th-cam.com/video/SvJe25wA-e8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2JvnWWtNPuMkyE7v
Check out the wreaking crew documentary
Still want to hear you react to Wichita Lineman and Rhinestone Cowboy.
Great video, now go watch the real master at work. Chet Atkins doing "Stars and stripes forever" it will blow your mind.
Glenn and Alice Cooper were bestfriends and in an interview Alice mentioned that Eddie Van Halen wanted to take guitar lessons from Glenn.
The Wrecking Crew
Great reaction !
Please react to Glen Campbell's
acoustic version of
'Gentle On My Mind' on the TV show Hee-Haw. It's truly incredible 🎸
I’ll have to check that out! Thanks for the recommendation!
If you enjoy Glen Campbell, you may want to watch a movie to understand him. The Glen Campbell Story "I'll be Me" is beautiful, funny, inspiring film about music superstar Glen Campbell's struggle with Alzheimer's disease before and throughout his sold-out "Goodbye Tour."
You should definitely try "Galveston"....
Hi Stevan another brilliant player is a British Guitar player Dave Edmunds check out his Sabre Dance instrumental you will love it and thanks for yhe Glen Campbell reaction loved it
you should check out Tommy Emmanuel ,,,, Classical Gas , he is a certified guitar player by the great Chet Atkins !!!
You should check out buddy Greene orange blossom special
Glen does a pretty fun Bonaparte's Retreat. It's not wicket crazy pickin' like the first two you watched, but he trades his guitar in for bagpipes (his background is Scottish after al), which I I understand are really hard to play well.
His favourite golf partner was Alice Cooper😂
most of the old timer country singers and players were very very good instrumentals
And now for something completely different, Mongolian metal. The Hu Wolf Totem
Have you checked out Vince Gill Oklahoma Borderline?
I haven’t! I’ll have to add it to the list! Appreciate it! 😁
studio musician assassin member of the famous Wrecking Crew...has played on hundreds of hit recordings before making it big as a solo country star
You should check out the group Wishbone Ash playing Blowin free or Jailbait there from the 70s they are still touring.
I have a few reactions to them here on the channel! 👍🏻
You've still only got half of Glen campbell so you're really going to have to end up doing a 3fer. I suggest Wichita Lineman to dip your toe into Glen Campbell's singing career. He's actually an amazing singer and all of his radio hits were songs he sung. Glen Campbell is the complete frontman.
Yes, he's playing a 12-string and yes it is more difficult. John Denver also plays a 12-string, I don't think I remember you noticing....
To see a whole band pick and play like crazy, watch this live version of 'Country Boy" by Ricky Skaggs and his band. Live from London England. Ricky another Eastern KY boy. th-cam.com/video/xzImpR_HF7U/w-d-xo.html
I'm almost certain that if Glen Campbell would have been born 25 years later than he was, he most likely would've been a guitar shredder in a rock/metal band, haha
🎸🎸
They say with a 12 string, you spend half your time tuning it, and the other half playing it out of tune.
😂🤣😂
If you like musical beasts, then you simply must check out anything by Joe Bonamassa. You will be in awe to say the least.
Dude, Yes the 12 string is harder to play mostly by making mistakes. you have 2 strings about an 1/8" apart tuned to the same note but a different octave. then about a 1/4" space and the next set. when fretting you hit both strings together and don't hit the next set by accident.
12-string is definitely more difficult.
He could play much faster on a 6-string, no doubt.
It's sad that he ended up dying several years after Alzhiemers dementia.
That’s so unfortunate but at least his music will live on forever! 🙏🏻
@@setonhillstudios His final song, I'm NOT Going to Miss You is heart wrenching. It really confronts the reality of that disease.
@@setonhillstudios He could recall the guitar music from his songs after he couldn't remember much else
Agree. The way he handled his declining years was amazing. I’ve read he didn’t know anyone in his family but, put a guitar in his hands and he could play.
