Glen was stupefyingly talented.

Glen could do this in his sleep! This is one of the few times that I can actually smile continuously while watching an instrumental performance. Glen just smiles and has fun with it, while Carl shows him that he can meet him at that level! Great analysis video, well done!

As for the comment that you missed a note and should have practiced more, the obviously unrehearsed nature of your analysis is part of what makes me appreciate your skill. Without practice or previous review, you can hear everything that's going on in a song, then turn around and nearly duplicate the keys, cords, progressions, notes, etc. That takes a mastery of music and of your instrument. Respect your talent my friend.

Glen Campbell was always someone I was aware of through my dad but I didn’t appreciate until recently how naturally musically talented he is. He makes everything look so easy. A true artist and one of a kind.

Glen Campbell was on another level that very, very few musicians ever reached! Thanks Fil! You could feature Glen every other day and I'd still not get enough of his immense talent!

How can you not smile after that performance. What a song! Oh, and "Git-tar" is more of a Southern U.S. thing. Most people here in the U.S. say it the same as you, Fil. lol

I couldn't help grinning when Fil said "This isn't going to be an instructional video."

Yes, Glen was an impeccable musician in addition to being a singer. Before he was a star, he was a member of the Wrecking Crew--session musicians playing on many recordings for other artists in the 60s. He even toured with the Beach Boys. Thanks, Fil, for another good one.

Thanks again for bring back such great music, I grew up listening to Glen he was well loved and respected

It’s so nice to see such a humble and unassuming country boy like Glen Campbell in the beginning of the video….and then he lets loose with his awesome guitar playing. Talent is a wonderful thing! 😁

Wow!!! No autotine or pitch correction just two great musicians sharing the moment. And it is live yippee

I heard Glen's songs when I was a teenager, but I never realized what an expert guitarist he was. Thank you so much---and you can show us videos of his expertise any time you find one!

That was great! Thank you so much for showcasing these great legends. Glen Campbell was one of the most talented entertainers & guitarists in the world. Carl Jackson was in Campbell's band for 12 years & he produced Glen Campbell’s final studio album.

So much fun, thank you! Another fantastic banjo tune popularized by a movie is Foggy Mountain Breakdown, by Earl Scruggs, featured in the film "Bonnie & Clyde". Someone commented: "in the state of Kentucky if this song comes on the radio while you are in a motor vehicle you are legally obligated to get into a car chase..." 🤣😂🤣

I think that we all enjoyed this one as much as you obviously did. Two great musicians, being allowed to do their thing, without the interference of someone who thinks that they can make it sound "better". I mean...can it even get better than this? ❤️🇨🇦

Glen Campbell is renowned worldwide as one of the absolute best guitarists in the history of music.

Thanks for explaining/doing that rhythm thing Glen was doing. I kinda missed it. (Though I have heard this song a million times.) The whole thing is amazing. I love how they looked at each other with mutual respect. Two masters at work! So glad it was captured on video.

There is never any reason to apologize for featuring Glen Campbell.

I think it's really cool when you analyze bluegrass. I love seeing your take on it, and how much you appreciate the talent involved. I grew up around it, of course, having a lot of bluegrass musicians in the family. This performance made me feel right at home 😊.

When you are so good you can add your own flare to an already incredible piece of music, you have achieved a level such as Glen Campbell. I had the pleasure of seeing Glen on his last tour when Alzheimer's disease was taking him. He never once had to figure out how to play what song they were playing and he was still INCREDIBLE on the guitar. There were many monitors lining the stage feeding him words to the songs, but that playing...brings tears to my eyes thinking of his talent and loss. So grateful you featured him, Fil!

Out standing ! I never get tired of seeing Glen Campbell videos on your show. Your analysis of old school country music greats are always "spot on" as you say. Great job Fil. Rock on

He was part of the wrecking crew before he was famous so obviously he's talented to a high degree

Great book for those interested: The Wrecking Crew: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll's Best Kept Secret by Kent Hartman. Goes into detail about Glen Campbell's upbringing and early career. Well-researched, well-written, and all-encompassing.

A friend of mine ran spot light when Glen Campbell came to town on his last tour. He asked him if he could still play as well as he used to. When the concert was over, the band members were asking each other where all that unexpected virtuosity had come from! Apparently, Glen could still play that well, especially when challenged, even though my friend didn’t doubt Glen’s abilities for a second. Thanks for featuring him again, Fil!

Love these vintage performances being pretty vintage myself. :D

Apologize for putting up another Glen Campbell video? Out of the question. Tommy Tedesco was one of the best guitarists and was on the Wrecking Crew, and Glen was playing with him. Glen played on almost every album we thought were done by different bands in the 1960s...record company executives only wanted the best. Glen was on the soundtrack of my youth. Eddie Van Halen asked Alice Cooper (Glen's golfing buddy) if he could ask Glen for a guitar lesson.

Phenomenal technique from both players... Truly fantastic...

Great performance, and very light-hearted, I can see why Fil is smiling through the whole thing, as I was as well, in spite of the mental association of this song with "Deliverance". Glen Campbell and Carl Jackson are both very talented players.

Ha ha--just rewound to that moment. Ahoy, matey!

So good! I'm an old chick who likes classic rock, although I can appreciate other genres...I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by the banjo ❤

Thanks for this. Carl Jackson has played banjo from a very early age. By age 14 he was playing on the road with relatively prominent bluegrass team of Jim and Jesse. He is also a world class guitarist. Mandolin too.

Oh hell yeah! More Glenn Campbell is never a bad thing in my book!! Quite possibly the most underrated musician ever!!!

Great analysis and demo as usual Fil. Glen got Carl to teach his daughter Ashley to play guitar and banjo. Could you do an analysis of Carl sometime? He is a fantastic musician on guitar and banjo and he does a wonderful version of Gentle On My Mind. Carl was a musician who could hold his own with Glen

Quite astonishing to watch Carl and see how calm his hand stays while the sound is frantic. As you say, just picking with the fingers. Just smiling away. It must be a great feeling to have that much command and control over an instrument. Glen is always fascinating to watch and listen to.

The Wrecking Crew alumni are all so incredible. Thanks!

Another perfect analysis Fil. What always impresses me when I see this video of Glen and Carl is the amount of notes played as the time moves from one second to the next. Unnatural picking from them.

What fun!! This captures the pure enjoyment music brings into the lives of skilled musicians and us listeners.

FIL! I can’t even explain how excited I was to see that you were reviewing this performance! The original video has 64k views, and I’d venture a guess that 60k of those are from me!! 😂 I love these two talented guys! Thank you! I enjoyed your commentary so much!

R.I.P. to Mr. Campbell. 🎸🪕

The performance was amazing and the back and forth banter added the DUELING aspect perfectly.

I love Glen Campbell. Such a talent and yes please feature him anytime! The smile on your face says it all! Thanks for the great analysis! 💜

Another thing about Glen Campbell's playing is that his guitar is a full bowl Ovation, which brings where you pick and fret much further away from you than a regular guitar or a shallow bowl Ovation. That makes it somewhat more challenging to play, especially if you are playing fast. I have a 12 string Ovation with the full bowl and a 6 string Ovation with the shallow bowl, and they are two very different beasts to play, totally ignoring the difference in strings.

Great and entertaining analysis of two highly capable instrumentalists. I should include you there also. Thank you for this.

Composed in 1954 as Feudin' Banjos, the song was played by The Dillards on a 1964 Andy Griffith Show, "Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bea". Everybody was trying to play Deuling Banjos after the movie, Deliverance, came out in 1972, but Glen and Carl are showing how it's done with that good-natured competetive attitude and SPEED!

Fil, I had Glen Campbell and Carl Jackson on an album in the early seventies, sadly lost now, I played it to death. Thanks for posting their breathtaking playing. And by the way, you’re a hell of a player yourself.

Knee high to a grasshopper . Dualing bangoes,I learned one summer. It was fun. Well played gentlemen.

Glen was one of the finest entertainer's the world has ever seen.

That was such a great performance by both Glen and Carl. So much talent and technique. I enjoyed this analysis including your breakdown on the guitar. 😊🎸🎵

Unreal how good they are! Just amazing, much respect!

I was so confused when Glen said he was playing this song since he was knee high to a grasshopper. I never knew it existed before Deliverance. As I said before, Fil, your videos have given me an appreciation of Glen Campbell that I never had before. I remember being forced to watch Hee Haw as a kid by my parents and just absolutely hating the cornball "humor" so much that I tuned out the music completely.

Dueling Banjos re popularized in the movie Deliverance. Anyone that liked this that hasn't seen the movie needs to watch it. Then you can have nightmares from the famous final scene like the rest of us😂

Two great musicians fantastic playing. thanks for sharing the experience 👍

This was so fun. It is a testament to you as a musician that you can just pick this stuff out seemingly so easily on a piece you were not that familiar with. Love it!

In the intro I think the banjo is playing the melody as single notes but adding the top G string over the top to fatten it up. Standard banjo tuning is an open G. Fil I think you would love playing banjo it is addictive

You can't watch this without a smile on your face.

The banjo technique is called "clawing" when you use multiple fingers picking different strings.

I just noticed his KZread Silver Play Button on the wall behind him.

Glen and Carl are the best ! Such unbelievable talent!! Really miss Glen ! Thank you Fil !!!

This is so good, that Fil plays the performance without interruption. Has that ever happened before?

More interesting performance for analysis checking out sound interplay between banjo and guitar, instead of two banjos. As expected, increased tempo of Jackson's banjo playin' was matched by Cambell's guitar.

All this attention on Glen Campbell is apropos!

The first thing I noticed was Carl's pushing. I Googled Carl Jackson and WOW what a resume he has! Glenn was a master of acoustic and electric guitar. Very underrated guitar here in the US. He is missed for sure. Great video!

It's joy to watch you in this video 😆

Oh man, that was fantastic! I smiled throughout the song, but with a tear in my eye...

I've been watching guitarist Matteo Mancuso. He uses a banjo/bass style of playing on guitar. It's amazing to me the speed he can get with this style. But yes, Thanks for another Glen video. One of a kind...!

Oh, I had to use the headphones for this one! And I couldn't help but applaud at the end. I love it so much!

They are staring each other down!

Great analysis, Fil! When I was young a lot of us pickers wanted an Ovation guitar thinking it would help us play like Glen😂. Years later I bought a vintage Martin and I never sounded a bit like Tony Rice! In my experience the textured Lyrachord back of an Ovation did tend to catch up on rougher weave fabrics and leather, whereas the smooth varnished back of a dreadnought guitar didn’t catch or grab. Lo and behold, purchasing an Ovation didn’t make me sound like Glen, and I always found the rounded back problematic. It made it hard to hold the guitar either while sitting or standing. It’s a poor workman who blames his tools, and obviously Glen got the hang of his Ovations. I did later find that the rounded back and lighter weight of an Ovation was perfect for playing while recovering in a hospital bed.

Your smile of amazement every time you Analyze guitarists like glen or roy clark says it all.. Because he was a great singer, A lot of people don't know how great he was on guitar.. I'm sure by now you've probably seen the movie deliverance that this song comes from.. But if not you should.. A lot of t v shows and movies make reference to it to this day..🤗👍

No matter what you serve up, Fil..it's so great!! This was a totally unexpected treat, which brought back memories. I didn't pay it much mind at the time, but, it's pretty genius!

What fun! He was so talented. Too bad people have to criticize your grreat videos. Thanks Fil😊🏜⭐️🪕🎼🎶🔥

Time flies. I remember watching this performance from Royal Albert Hall all those years ago. Glenn is playing an Ovation with a rounded lyrachord body. I had problems with playing Ovation guitars because they kept slipping away from my lap. The leather jacket will keep it in place, like on this number. So I stuck to my normal Martin D-28. Great comments, equal in quality to this performance. Thanks Fil.

“Blink and you’ll miss so much.” For sure!!!
