I've never understood anyone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger .... I enjoyed Glen Campbell's singing and knew he played a guitar but I had no clue that he had the talent to play on the level he does in the video below .... the last part of it is beyond my understanding

Darn good considering he is using a single pick. That last part was just off the top of his head too...

Thanks for this link. Loved it. He was a session guitar musician long before he became famous as a singer. He is self taught and a musical savant.
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Campbell" wrote:Campbell played on recordings by the Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, the Monkees, Nancy Sinatra, Merle Haggard, Jan and Dean, Bing Crosby, Phil Spector, Sammy Davis Jr., Doris Day, Bobby Vee, The Everly Brothers, Shelley Fabares, The Cascades, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Wayne Newton, The First Edition, The Kingston Trio, Roger Miller, Gene Clark, Lou Rawls, Claude King, Lorne Greene, Ronnie Dove and Elvis Presley. He befriended Presley when he helped record the soundtrack for Viva Las Vegas in 1964. He later said, "Elvis and I were brought up the same humble way – picking cotton and looking at the south end of a north-bound mule."

One of his country and western friends said he had to much talent in that body. He is great and one of the best there ever was with a guitar

I had no idea he could play like that; he didn't even break a sweat. Wonderful to see him perform like that.
