Glen Campbell - William Tell Overture Live. Ireland 2010

[lastrada52]

Classical music on a twelve string electric guitar -- played live and over his head. Are you kidding? Glen Campbell -- you are a marvel.

I don't like it so much but I admit that he plays very well and it's not so bad.

@TheLeon96Ahuel ... With all due respect to you, Leon, Glen Campbell remains to be one of the best guitarists on this planet. Maybe you've been away(?).

Pretty hardcore on a 12 string!

[Earthlinked]

@biggerbigd He used an Ovation 12 string for the WIlliam Tell Overature - but it only had 6 strings on it!!!! The spacing between strings was larger - much less buzzing!!!! This is a very old trick but there are not too many that can really pull it off - like Campbell!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Beatlesonlyblog whatever you say, proud redneck... make sure you stay out prison, will you!!!

[cirosuperiore]

@Beatlesonlyblog you rednecks are crazier than niggers

[cirosuperiore]

thanks for showing us your balding head. 

[lastrada52]

@cirosuperiore - The man is 75 years old -- what did you expect on his head? What will you look like when you're 75? And even if you have all your hair at 75 -- play that music on a twelve string over your head like Glen Campbell did -- in front of a few thousand people. Oh...you should also try and play it after you have been diagnosed with Alzheimers. I'm patient. I'll wait.

My Dad was a Glen Campbell Fan and I've got a greatest hits LP but never knew the guy was one of THE great guitarists, thought he was just a country singer,,,until YouTube !!!

[willturth]

the best musician on the planet.

I once lived near Hazard, KY, population 703 - but there's a landing strip (VERY small and dangerous) there, and one day a small plane landed, no air traffic control at all, and the plane taxied to a stop and out stepped GLEN CAMPBELL. This was 25 years ago. Said he owned a lot of coal reserves (surprise) and was dropping in to look at his stuff and visit with the Gormans (rich folks in town). Heh. Great guy.

[sheddski]

thats a god damn 12 string NICE!!

[wcbriggs2000]

these guys are amazing with their real music. and the guitar antics show they are having fun cutting up enjoying what they do. we've lost a lot of good folks lately God bless em all!

[Ceaaa22]

My best for what you have left, Glen.

I was there and while watching him I knew I was watching one of the last of the legendary entertainers that the 20th Century had produced performing before me. It was special to witness this. I got to the stage that evening where I shook his hand and got his autograph too. A gentleman and a living legend...
