So right! I studied guitar for many years, people said I was good, but, a really good friend was 100 times better than me.. He and I were talking recently, and my guitar hero went on and on about his guitar hero Glenn Campbell is 100 times more talented than he is. Truly, Glenn was one of the all-time best guitarists of all time.

Youre right... He doesn't get name-checked as one of the great guitar players of the last 50 years, but he definitely is one of the best. .... Usually only guitar players can see how intricate his playing is. And how difficult it is to play those licks while singing.

zyxmyk Not true. Thanks to KZread, everyone who wants to know about him will find him here and learn what Glen was. Simple things like playing the William Tell Overture with his guitar ON HIS HEAD, and that's just a start. I know nothing about the guitar other than to identify it by it's strings, it's general shape and the many different sounds it can make depending on whether or not it's electric or acoustic, etc. Glen learned to play on a $5 guitar his mom bought with her sharecropping money when he was just a young boy. He learned how to play without music, he played by ear, went off to play for money with his uncle Boo, from there the rest is history, and up until the final day he played a guitar, he still couldn't read music. That is pure talent.

Mr. Glen Campbell. He was the first celebrity I drove in the first Limousine I owned as Legacy Limousines in Joplin Missouri. It was sometime between 1995 & 1998. He had the Goodtime Theatre in Branson Mo. I spoke with him in the Airport restroom and told him I wanted to come see the show. He asked me how many tickets I needed to which I replied 4. He told me to call the theatre and they would have me 4 tickets complimentary. That was my most treasured "gratuity" if you will I have ever received. In the early 2000's, I sang several of Glen's tunes in Churches. See you on the other side Glen! ❤️🌴

He was truly blessed. "Genius" is a very big word. In the case of Glen Campbell, it is not inappropriate.

The most satisfying sound , GC singing and playing an Ovation!!!!

Pure raw talent & Genius ! The world miss Glen Campbell badly - an Ace Guitarist and Vocalist !

Jesus is the greatest love story under heaven ! God Bless the fantastic Glen Campbell ❤️🙏

So glad he gave his life over to Jesus. Such a great talent. He lived in TN (in the country) close to my parents and Down Syndrome brother. He rode horses and his Harley around and always stopped and spoke to them...so sweet & gentlemanly.

I don't know about guitar playing but his music just seems to roll off his tongue, so easily and effortlessly, beautiful voice....

I was stationed at Luke AFB Phoenix Az in the early 80s and attended the same church Glen Campbell attended. It was North Phoenix Baptist church. Glen Campbell and his family always sat on the front row. It was always great when the pastor asked Glen Campbell to close the service with a song.

A born entertainer, brilliant guitarist where ever he is, and totally with no back up fantastic!

Definitely the best voice and guitar playing in country/gospel in history!

Amazing talent.

I've always admired Glenn. He's immensely talented. Knocked down but he didn't go out. He was a good man.

I stayed with my grandma who gradually died of from parkinson and Alzheimer's disease but, every time I hum old tune she recalled the old lyric and memory! Glen's documentary is very touching indeed. Thank for you bravery, Beautiful music, solo, and etc....

I love Glen as a brother in Christ. Look forward to seeing him in glory.

I love watching videos of Glen...what a fantastic voice and musician he was...RIP

How in the world is it that an audience witnessing this would not be clapping or tapping to this great rendition? From what I could see the audience just sat there listening as if they didn’t know what they were so fortunate to be experiencing. Maybe they were in awe of what they were hearing but on the other hand maybe they didn’t know that it wouldn’t get any better than what they were hearing on this particular night?

Spellbinding Singer & a Great Musician Glen Campbell - RIP

I loved all of Glen's music. He played studio guitar and was a master with that instrument. Waylon, Glen's friend was also an amazing guitar player that, as Glen, just knocked my socks off when he played. Waylon praised Glen Campbell publicly about how it was Glen that had the great TV show and never bragged on it, but he regularly had Johnny Cash, Waylon, all the fine Country singers on. He was one of the greatest guitar players ever! Thanks for this.

RIP Glen, God bless ❤

Sublime guitar genius with a voice to match - could sing and play anything brilliantly but was so humble and unassuming. RIP Glen. You were an absolute legend. Thank you for all your wonderful musical talents that gave and continue to give so much pleasure to us all. You will always be missed but always remembered.

Wow….Praise the Lord….That is one precious soul, giving God all the glory and honor of his talents and success…May your life be an inspiration to the young musicians now a days and follow the path you have taken which is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior….

David, these videos are so much more precious now. He's singing with the angels, truly No More Night and no more pain in God's loving arms.

First and foremost a brother in Christ. But what a professional he was, even in his late years.

Glad he placed God in his life, otherwise, his hurts from long-ago would have forever haunted him. Great man, and person, with so much talent.

Who knew he was such a good gospel song writer, certainly not me, Great performance!

Glen grew up in a Christian home where CHRIST was the center. what a blessing that he turned back to HIM again in his later years. thank you LORD.

beauty for ashes A side note to that would be how Glen sang so many of Jimmy Webb's songs. They should have been glued together because together they were hit makers, the biggest being MacArthur Park, but also Galveston and Wichita Lineman to name a couple. His last wife Kim can be thanked for bringing him back to Christ. Going back to Jimmy, he was a preacher's son. One Sunday during the sermon, his dad noticed that Jimmy was reading a book rather than listening to the sermon and he called him out right there in the middle of the church service and sermon. Jimmy replied "A stranger in a strange land". His dad said something like "Well, I guess that could be said about Jesus as well" and continued his sermon. Jimmy was nearly peeing his pants because he knew he was going to get his butt beat that day. Of course he laughed as he told that story, but it was quite a few years after the fact.

Phil Driscoll wrote a song for Glen. I didn't know that. I met Phil just after he gave his life to the Lord. In fact, he used to attend the church where I was a member in the 70s . They're both very talented men who truly do love the Lord.

@Bobby Klein Hello to you Bobby Klein, yes, I am a fan of Glen Campbell. Have been since I was 13 and my daddy ask me if I wanted this album, and it was "the one with Galveston and it had a big poster of him in it. He looked so young all the time, so I had a crush on him till I found out how old he was. My first date saw the poster and said he did not like it and he was too old for me anyway. I was 14 on our first date and James was 21.LOL. We ended up getting married nearly 4 yrs. later in 1973. But I am still a fan of Glen Campbell. Still have that album from 53 yrs. ago. We just celebrated our 49 anniversary. May 25, 2973.I hope I did not take up too much of your time. Hey, don't ask if you don't really want to know. 🥰🤣😂

He’ll always be missed but not forgotten. Resting with God and so many friends that have left us 🙏🏼 Peace be with us all

God gave us Glen for awhile but now hes took him home

Wow, Glen Campbell, What a great singer/Guitar player,...Southern Nights was just astounding (as were all the others), what a great guitar riff in that song, (Just him playing) Love ya mate

Watching him play guitar reminds me of a line from the song 'Johnny B. Goode', "he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell". He did it so effortlessly. Love his voice too. What a great talent and such a great loss.

One of the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This blesses my heart to hear his love of Jesus from his own lips. Looking forward to meeting him someday in the Kingdom to come. I have an other musical personal friend there already too, that preceded Glenn in 2010, whom I know would be enjoying musical conversations with Glenn. The wonderful brother in Christ, Dana Key, of DeGarmo and Key, whom I knew down in Memphis, TN.

Phil Driscoll ... Another Jacksonville, FL musician. Praise God, this was so good.

Only a master like Glen Campbell can talk about a song and just rip one off without no mistakes whatsoever that text Godlike skills if you've never played a guitar then you don't know what I'm talkin about not even one minut mistake absolutely amazing

I sure miss Glen....Our Lord sure is good.

What memories! Such magical moments, spent with this legend! Thank you for sharing! God bless!

I’ve yet to hear a better guitar player in popular music and a great vocalist too. Unbelievable talented individual.

Wow, lived in Phoenix then!!

I am so glad he gave his life to Jesus. We are losing him slowly to Alzheimer's disease. It broke my heart to learn that. but being that Jesus is waiting for him, this eases the pain.

One man one voice one guitar . Only a few that ever walked this planet could stand up on stage and sound like a complete Band. About 24 years ago. Glen was on Late night Radio. I believe it was the Art Bell show. Glen talked for 2 hours. About his life etc. The most humble man of talent. God blessed Glen with the gifts. So wonderful Glen was able in his later life to give the credit back to God ❤️🇺🇸

Love watching the Southern Nights performance played solo guitar… amazing rhythm that just carries the song along… amazing performer and great to see him here saved and inspired by the Lord. Night and day from his drug and alcohol days. Awesome!!

Never actually heard an Ovation sound good till now He is that good

Well if that doesn't make you want to welcome Jesus I don't know. Thanks and always miss you Glen from Australia.

His technique in this clip on So. Nights is priceless. Sounds like an early version of the great Buster B. Jones (rip), song "Cologareed". Even make that Ovation sound like Buster's advanced designed Godin guitar a decade in, well, advance. Good entertainers leave them wanting more. This man, so great, more than all the great others who have left us, left me wanting more. Thank you, Glen! You are sorely missed.
