R.I.P Glen Campbell

Wichita lineman and Rhinestone Cowboy my favorite.
Will be missed 
HAVE A Nice JOURNEY My Man.

Other sides of Glen Campbell ...

Besides being an A list guitarist, he also could not read music.  He played by ear.  Not unique, but not usual.  

A real gem of a video, his version stacks well alongside the original ...

Glen was typical of a rock or country guitar hotshot. Didn’t read music and would just have to hear one pass of a tune, then he was able to contribute to the piece.

Just about all the R&R gods-Beck,Page, Townsend,Richards...etc. don’t read music.

I never knew what a truly talented guitar player he was until I attended a Jimmy Webb show. He showed a film of Glenn playing MacArthur Park that blew my mind. I immediately downloaded it and a few other of my favorite Campbell songs I'd never collected. He was one a few artists that I should have bought back when; but never got around to. I am sad for his family and many, many friends.

Virtuoso guitarist (Gene Norman Group-Dylan Jazz) and perfect pitch voice (no software pitch correction needed), what's not to like?
