Glen Campbell Sings "Gentle on My Mind" w/alternate guitar solo 

“I’ll play one” he says nonchalantly, before launching into a guitar solo only a man with 3 arms and 19 fingers could possibly play. Sometimes, we’re privileged to be able to watch pure, unadulterated genius at work. This is one of those times. ❤️

Willie Nelson said when God was handing out talent, Glen got in line twice.

RIP Glen Campbell. You are remembered fondly & often

And at 1:55 he realizes that he absolutely nailed that amazing solo. What a performer, RIP Glen Campbell.

One word..... MAGNIFICENT.

Ridiculous solo.....so fluid....so off the cuff....he was a MAJOR MAJOR talent... God speed Glenn....you are so missed...❤

I saw Merle Haggard on a video interview say if there was ever an example of God giving too much talent to one person it was Glen Campbell

In his long prime, Glen Campbell was absolutely LOADED with talent. and he could sing a lyric as good as any singer ever heard in the 20th & 21st centuries. rest in peace, weary warrior. rest in peace.

How the hell did his guitar not just burst into flames? The guy was incredible

The world was a gentler place right here.I’m 53 now and I was a teenager weeks ago 😞

I watched this twice. Just to make sure I didn't imagine listening to one of the finest guitar solos I ever heard.

Oh my goodness, how we miss you Glen....

I'm ashamed to say that I never knew Glenn Campbell was such a virtuoso guitarist. I'm blown away.

Always a listening pleasure when Glen Campbell sings and plays.

in the early 80's I took finger picking lessons from a guy named Melvin Nash. He was also from Delight, Ark. He told me Glen Campbell has perfect pitch and started guitar at five. At night he played with his family. But his uncle was the most important--he was a studio guitarist and it was from him Glen learned everything. Melvin took lessons from the uncle, too. when Melvin met them glen was in his early teens and was into improvisational Jazz. The uncle had a band and (I believe) it was with that band Glen went to Albuquerque and began playing professionally etc. They say he's near death. Of all country boy guitar players he is, without any doubt, the King and probably always will be. Thanks for reading this and best of luck with your playing.

best guitar player in the world--I rest my case.

DAMN Mr Campbell...You stood alone on the Mt Olympus of THEE greatest guitarist EVER... We so miss the likes of your awesome talent. RIP

What a talent Glen Campbell was. I am betting I am not alone in feeling grateful for his presence in our time.

What an absolutely astonishing performance. Pure genius.

Glen Campbell, a forever American treasure! An icon from childhood when he had his own show and I never missed an episode! Always appreciated, forever missed !

I love this clip - seen it so many times. There's a wonderful moment just after the solo when a grin appears on his face and you know he's thinking to himself .... "Yup. I totally nailed that."

I had thought Roy Clark to be one of the best guitar players, which he is. However, Roy, as great as he is, said that it was Glen Campbell who was by far the best. It takes a great to truly recognize the best. High praise indeed. Good on Roy.

HOLY COW!!! That guitar solo!!! WoW!!! The man's a Git-Tar genius!

The absolute BEST guitar solo I've heard him play! 1/16 triplets: very difficult on guitar...

Thank you, John Hartford, for one of the best songs ever written, and thank you, Glenn Campbell, for consistently delivering superb renditions of it and popularizing it. RIP, gentlemen.

If Campbell never ever sang one song or recorded a single album oh is own, he'd still be known by those in the industry as one of the most brilliant guitarists in the business, and one who had done tons of sessions work.

I was a little boy living in Australia. That was the first time I Glen Campbell singing Galveston. What a great guy.

Please induct him into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" One of the best guitar players of all time.

Sadly the likes of this great man will not be seen again. R.i.p.

Mr Campbell was loved by my father and passed on to me. R.I.P Big man. Xxx

My father always sang me to sleep every night he was home and this was one of his and my favourite songs. We lost dad a year aog to the virus and Glen is also no longer with us. I truly hope Dad will get to meet him now and everytime I hear this song it makes me smile, if a little sad, of the many years we had these wonderful men in in our lives. Thank you Dad and Glen may you make music in paradise.

Glen plays very cleanly... very crisp and clean... unlike many so-called rock guitarists.

RIP Glen you were one of the greatest guitarist off all time .....Godspeed.

A MASTER...at the absolute top of his game.

You can tell he dearly loved playing and singing.

Non of the country "stars" of today can touch this genius.

Recently while on a lunch break I had a conversation with some work colleagues as to who did they consider to be the best guitarist of their lifetime. The usual names came up Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton etc. I said for me its Glen Campbell. I showed them some videos and they couldn't believe how good he was.

Absolute MONSTER player and performer!

Glen Campbell was one of the very few performers that could sing and play lead guitar at the same time. You will be missed my friend.

Maybe the smoothest dude ever to hit the planet Earth.

GORGEOUS is too simple to explain how this man plays

Proof that Glen Campbells guitar skills are second to none

I never realized just how talented Glen Campbell is

Since I found out he was a guitar player, I watched several of this song and he never plays it same. True virtuoso.

Rest easy Glen. Your music lives forever. Thank you!

Not a guitar player or country music fan, but that is the best guitar solo I have ever seen! He had the rare combination of talent and hard work.

Glenn Campbell One of The Baddest Guitar Player's Ever to Strap on A GUITAR one of My all time favorite Guitar Player's Ever GOD BLESS YOU GLEN CAMPBELL YOUR GENTLE ON MY MIND!!!!

Can never get too much of this. Guitars and people like Glen were just meant to meet.

Glen may have left this earth but his music will live forever. What a lovely performance he did of this song. And, how handsome and happy he seemed. What a smile he had! RIP dear sir.

Glenn Campbell effortlessly plays a solo that stuns and amazes even the best guitarists! ONE OF A KIND TALENT! WOW

This is an absolute MASTERPIECE! SUPERIOR Talent!

Sad to hear the news about Glen Campbell. A very great musician. I love the way he sang this song on this video. One of my many favorites by him.

Glen had so much talent it was scary. A big influence on me and I miss him.

So gifted!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Glen Campbell...genius.

Lord please bless Glen Campbell.

"i'll play one"

I appreciate this music more and more the older I get… RIP Glenn

I mourned the passing of Glen. One of the best singers and guitarist of my youth. Lest we forget 🙏

I've always loved Glen Campbell since I was a little girl. But now, since I am 'trying' to learn to play the guitar, he takes on a new significance and I admire him even more.

best version hands down

When I watched this as a kid (and a want to be guitar player).. I was stunned,.. and many years later.. Still .. Absolutely one of the best musicians to ever cross our planet.. RIP Glen Campbell.. Thank you God for giving us Glen Campbell

Love that smile after the solo -- he massively enjoys his massive talent!

Cant get enough of one of the most talentist music legends in the industry...

My first album ever- the gold standard no one will ever replace him

One of the best version of this classic song!

My goodness ... what an amazing guitarist and performer. He was the go-to studio guitarist in the '60s - he recordered over 600 tracks with other artists in just one year then. If there is some guiding hand out there, I hope that mercy prevails and ends his suffering.

Glen Campbell was and is the finest guitar player I have ever known. I will always miss him.

And one hell of a guitar player!!!!!

He has a resume a mile long in music!! Just incredible.

this song always cheers me up when I'm down since the late 60's.

Wow ! I grew up listening to Glen Campbell's music - my Dad and I would sing along to him on my Dad's old land rover cassette player, when I went to work with him in the school holidays - I have remained a fan ever since and I am totally gutted Glenn is no longer with us - Watching this clip confirms that he was one of the sexiest performers of all time, had such a huge singing talent and superb guitar skills - it amazes me how well he plays and that he always said he could never read music. He is a huge, huge loss to this world , God bless and rest in peace.,

I've listened to this a thousand times and I never get bored

Glen is most definitely a top 5 all time country artist in my book

Glen is an entertainer. A true professional, he is at ease whether accompanying Sinatra or the popular acts of the day. He engages the audience and clearly, his contemporaries enjoy his talent and wit. Not many in the music business can offer the talent that he has. His singing is all his own and instantly recognizable, his guitar playing is incredible and he can play the bagpipes or banjo . Glen is one of a kind!

Glen's guitar playing was other-worldly. What an incredible talent. RIP.

LOVE the guitar melody! He is so talented. How can you not like this guy!

A true musician. What an amazing guitar solo. His talent and ability to play any style of music make him one of the greatest of all time

Glen has immortality on RU-vid

Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s even if your music was Motown or Rock or the Beatles every time you heard Glen - you stopped and you listened and you tapped your foot. You may not have admitted it to your friends, but you did it - didn’t you! We love you Glen for what you have given to us.

Glen Campbell was blessed with a royal flush of talent!

❤He was so full of talent and loved by so many. His music has been enjoyed for nearly 50 years now. Famous musicians and artists have admired him and collaborated with him on their own music. What a legacy he leaves behind. No matter what anyone else may choose to say, that is what I will remember very fondly of Glen Cambell.❤

Never realised how good this fella was, what a guitar player.

Glen Campbell was an absolute beast on the guitar.

So many didn't know of his Guitar mastery! This is world class stuff! Even Eddie VanHalen wanted lessons from Glen, true story! Not many knew he played and sang in so many groups and singers like Elvis, Frank Sinatra and the Beach Boys.. the list goes on and on! We will never see another Glen Campbell for many lifetimes! I can watch this over and over and marvel at his talent! Did you know even Eddie VanHalen requested lessons from Glen?

Love this song anytime Glen Campbell does it.

Impeccable

Stunning! GC in his prime! The man can pick a guitar and hit any note with his gifted voice!

Loved it as a kid and love it now at 64.

RIP GLEN...YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!

this man was not to be believed. NO ONE is/was as good

Glen Campbells guitar playing knocks me out every time. Just a freak

Lots of great renditions of this song, but I think this is my favourite. He just kills that solo.

Just saw a documentary following Glen's last tour & his battle with dementia. What a talent God bless ya Glen ✌️

For the one who do not know Glen, Glen did not read music, all by ear, he could picked with the best guitarists in the world. Can you imagine what kind of musical Mind Glen had,

I can never get tired of listening to this tune, really dose lift ya up.

Fantastic!

real country music , every time i walk a railway track, i hear this song.

Could be his best ever version of this song. Incredible. A pure master guitarist.

Glen Campbell was such an amazingly Talented Player. Their was a time there was a list of the top 100 songs of all time. He played on almost 20 of them.
