      It’s my understanding that Eddie Van Halen would periodically visit with Glenn Campbell when he wanted to “tune up” his playing. That tells you the level of talent Mr. Campbell possessed on that instrument.

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..

    as a kid growing up when these men were in their prime, I didn't realize just how great they were. Looking back, I believe that Roy didn't get his due respect because he was a regular on a silly show on tv. But if you think about it, Roy's move to Hee Haw was brilliant. Just look at the regular exposure he got! Glen? what more could possibly be said? He could write, sing, play and act. And he even kept up the gigging until his mind was literally, gone. they're both at peace, now. Thank God we had them for as long as we did.

    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.

    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.

      Most musicians today dont have the time or patience to mess with 6 extra strings. Stringing and tuning them is a pain in the ass. There are lots of pedals that can mimic the 12 string sound, and even expand it. 12 string guitars are just a quaint curiosity now. I have one, it hasn't been out of the case in years. I never gig with it. They sound great, but are rarely used by anybody. The industry has moved on.

      @@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.
