Glen Campbell's Amazing Guitar Solos!

- 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.

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
Probably the best and most underrated guitarist of our time.
But not of his…in his day he was the man.
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.
He probably recognized his children as familiar, but couldn't remember how they fit in, anymore. My grandma always recognized me, but no longer had a clue that I was her grandson. One day, she asked me why I was calling her grandma, so after that, I called her by her first name.
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.
There are many great guitarists but Glen was one of “the” best!
People don't realize how great of a guitar 🎸 player he was!
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.
When it comes to raw talent with no pedals or feedback Glen is the greatest. Period.
Jerry Reed was no slouch as well….
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
My mother used to listen to Glen Campbell - Like WTF?!? HOW DID I MISS THIS GUY?!?!?!?
Ha, ha, ha..!
I hear ya..!
Glen Campbell one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived no question about it
Glen was a shredder before it was even a thing. So good.
His innovation.
that speed? and precision is fucking AMAZING! what a legend he is. always remebered
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!!
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.
Glenn was one the very best guitarists. Full stop.
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.
Eddie Van Halen once asked how he could get a guitar lesson from Glen. Let that sink in. Glen was an incredible guitarist.
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 ❤️✊🏿💪🏾
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..!
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%
How a single individual can be blessed with such an abundance of talents remains difficult to grasp for mere mortals like 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.
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.
The Eddie Van Halen of Country Music!
Funny you should mention that. Look up the history between them. There definitely is one.
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!
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 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.... ❤❤😢😢
Amazing...One of the greatest guitar players who ever lived.
Glen was one of the wrecking crew. They made hundreds of songs for TV, and musicians and movies 👍👍🥳🥳🥳
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.
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
I had an instructor when I was growing up who insisted that GC was the purest instrumentalist he had ever seen pick up an axe. At about 8:15 into this video, there's a clip showing him improvising his way through the musical section of MacArthur Park. Now I see what that instructor was talking about! His sound is like two great guitarists battling it out simultaneously. 🎸🎸 Clearly, a shamefully underrated musical talent.
Good enough to be part of the Wrecking Crew, good enough for me!
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 TH-cam for Glen Campbell, classical gas. Pretty cool!
I understand...
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.
WE gotta have a movie about this LEGEND !!!!
This dude could play. Fast, clean, just enough Jazz to brighten things up without making them weird.
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.
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
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
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.
I could watch glen campbell play all day long he was absolutely fantastic
In his later years it seems he derived some of his greatest happiness while playing his guitars because they go what the words cannot go. It is rare to see someone with such dexterous command over his instruments have both that and happiness peacefully coexisting inside the same body. For me there is something miraculous and angelic to lay witness to such events taking place in one’s presence. To have one’s ears taste the audible flavors Glen cooked up, takes audio succulence to a wholly different (and higher) plane of listening and appreciation. Glen Campbell was one of our country’s finest talents.
Glen was shredding before that was even a word. .
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.
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.
Dang, I never knew Glenn Campbell could shred like that!
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.
I think this is the Kindest thing anyone can do in tribute to Glenn Campbell's fantastic Guitar Genius. Thank you so much.
Like others, my mind is blown. While I was familiar with him, I was really introduced while watching Stone Temple Pilots play with him on the Witchita Lineman. I knew he was respected and I love the song, but had no clue he could shred without even trying. What a legend.
Glen Campbell, Chet Adkins, Roy Clark, Les Paul and Vince Gill are in thier own category
one of the greatest guitar players of any genre. He could play anything
Even better than I remember him - as good as any shredder today!
Best guitar player ever. The man was an artistic genius, a rare talent. God said He wanted to create a person to show off how to play guitar and He created Glen Campbell.
Possibly the greatest guitar player of all time. To me he is.
Definitely one of the most under rated guitarists ever. This guy has solid technique, and most importantly SOUL which fast guitarist lack 99.99% of the time
"Definitely one of the most under rated guitarists ever." No, not in the professional ranks. He was a God.
Who is one of these fast guitarists you say have no soul ?
@@deanwitt7903 Lets start with YM. But Glenn is definitely Shredding on some of these
How can he be under rated when he was known as on of the best ever
@@kerrymead3885 He is not in the R&R Hall of Fame.. that's criminal
He was a musician of the extra class, both as a guitarist and as a singer
People think "shredding" started with guys like Blackmore, Yngwie, Rhoads, Vai, etc.... Nope. This guy was it.
Really miss him and many like him.
From what I heard, it doesn’t get no better than that……
Glenn was a country Shredder!
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!
Glen and George Benson had an awesome guitar jam at the end of Midnight Special a few years back. Glen was laying down some serious jazz licks. I will never forget that. RIH Mr. Glen Campbell.
I'll have to check that out love George thanks for mentioning it.

Glen was a studio guitarist before his own recording career took off.
He could play any genre of music.
he definitely studied his Pat Martino and Barney Kessel
I remember that well!
I had to watch it again is it still amazed at how well this man can play guitar.
The man was a genius!
What an incredible compilation!
Glen Campbell was a natural! Defying traditional methods, he sat in as a key member of the Wrecking Crew and performed live countless times for us and the people in his elite circle.
The LA session group of musicians was referred to as the First Call Players. Hal Blaine (Drummer) came up with the name of Wrecking Crew later.
Elite indeed and he played bass with the Beach Boys because they needed a bass player while Brian rested.. and he sang backup.. what a trip of a man.. Best GOAT..
@@PsyJaye GC sang BW's parts and backing vocals. It was when BW stop touring. GC played the lead guitar on most of their albums.
@@arturbello4213 We definitely in tune Brother.. I'm watching T-Bone Wolk work Maneater on bass.. another quiet genious.. Peace
Glen Campbell doesn't need to be on anyone's list as he just may be the GREATEST picker ever...
Glenn Campbell had great songs, was a great musician as well.
Loved his music!
I had Glen Campbells greatest hits when I was 3 years old along with Elvis live from Memphis in '68ish and WORE THEM OUT. It wasnt until I started playing guitar that I realized he was an amazing player. I ditched Rock long along when I could outplay them all BUT I am STILL floored by Mr. Campbell. He dont make soup!!
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.
What a performer. Recording engineers and session players knew about his musical prowess. But most definitely not appreciated by the public at large for the massive talent he was.
He was one of the greatest Guitarists in history. Perhaps even the greatest.
This blew my mind. I’m 67 and was in the middle of his explosion with those 3 mega hits, and saw him often on the tv of course. But admit that was subdued to these live versions. Just a few minutes into the video I was wondering what in the world did I miss of this artist, but from about the 12:00 mark doing Galveston and Wichita Lineman, I fell out! Holy crap! I enjoyed that era of likely the best rock lead guitarist ever, with maybe the best just recently passing (RIP Beck). but I’m embarrassed I never knew of Campbell’s total ability. What a splendid collection of his remarkable riffs! Great video!!
Wow, thank you for this! Glen was like the twangy shredder. And, he could play changes and he sang the best of the best songs! Thank you for the upload!
Brings tears to my eyes! A giant of a musician! Even when most of his faculties were destroyed by Alzheimer's, he could still play and sing with incredible genius and soul...
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!!
I discovered him 2 months ago. An absolute beast of a guitarist!
Just beautiful to see. Thank you to the person that uploaded this clip. Fabulous. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
how great and underrated he was. Despite his guitar playing, The song " Lineman for the County" used to brings tears to my eyes driving home from.!!!! Listen deeply, it will change you life!!
Witchita lineman
Man, thanks so much for posting this ! Way way better than the snippets of stuff you get on most people. Or the SAME old thing. Bravo !
Glen was far more than "a lineman for the county". A tragic end to a great musician and performer. That last song, Lineman, his guitar playing and singing was so sweet. Had me in tears. RIP Glen
“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.
A true master of the guitar! 🎸 R.I.P mr. Campbell you are truely missed.
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.
Amazing and always a clean tone. No distortion to hide behind.
Check out Glen's solo on the Everly Brothers "Walking The Dog."
Played on a $100 Teisco made "Mellotone."

@@sammccue500 just checked it out. Awesome and I’ve never heard him sound so bluesy. Thanks
People don' t realize Glenn Campbell was a member of the wrecking crew an amazing ensemble of studio musicians
He also toured as a Beach Boy!!
The Wrecking Crew was on probably at least half of the records in the 60s and 70s without credit.
Yep, the Wrecking Crew and the Swampers played on just about everything back then.
And Glen Campbell considered himself a studio guitarist (which he was), but with such remarkable charisma, he was destined to be a star.
Definitely one of the most talented guitarists ever. I'd have loved to see him play with Don Felder, lol, but perhaps in another universe. 😁🎼🎵😅
Campbell had done something early in his career to someone that caused him to be blackballed so that is why he didn't get the gigs he should have gotten?
@@mollybell5779 It's impossible to say one is better or the best. They all have their own unique talent.
Glen and Roy Clark were popular around the same time in my childhood and at the time I thought Roy Clark was a better guitarist, but that was because there was so much of Glen's work that I hadn't seen! Wow.
Well, Roy Clark was really good, but Glen was way out ahead of Roy.
Well, one reason folks would be gobsmacked, was because so many would know him as the terrific singer that he truly was..!
How disgraceful is it that GC isn't fairly and honestly recognized by Rolling Stone Wokeazine... the 'music' periodical that used to cover Music at one time..!
😉
This is one of my favourites of Mr Campbell, still brings a tear to my glass eye lol xx
I’m a Eddie vanhalen fan. I’m not old enough to know glen Campbell. But he has to be right up there with the best.
He was shredding long before the word was even invented...
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 was thinking about him singing Rhinestone Cowboy and I was thinking.....boring. Watched this. I just had my face melted off. Superb guitar.
Amazing… I started playing guitar when I heard his album called 12 string guitar, which was just instrumental. He was a studio musician back then and no one knew who he was. The rest is history.
While best known as a country music star, the Arkansas native was an accomplished studio musician who even moonlighted as a member of the Beach Boys in the mid-Sixties. “He was one of the premier guitar players in rock and country. A lot of people don’t know the respect he had in the rock & roll world,” Alice Cooper says. “Eddie Van Halen asked one time, he said, ‘Could you get me a guitar lesson with Glen?’ Most rockers would go, ‘What?’ That’s the kind of guitar player he was. He was considered one of the five best guitar players out there.”
So…who’s the other four?
@@cirenosnor5768 Roy Clark would be one.
@@dangermartin69 I loved the way Roy looked at Glen on Ralph Emery's TV show when he did Gentle On My Mind. You could tell that he was full of admiration and love for his long-time friend. th-cam.com/video/ETkzK9pXMio/w-d-xo.html
I always listen to Alice Cooper on his syndicated radio show and I was amazed when he spent an entire show relating his relationship with Glen Campbell - it really struck me as quite the mismatch.
Great guitar players need no explanation. Their playing will speak for itself.
I don't even know how to compliment this legend...he obviously had virtuosic skill and chops for days but he was also super musical and tasteful. This man was not capable of playing or singing a bad note
I am so amazed that he wasnt publicised as such a phenomenal guitar picker. His playing stlye is unique.
