Not only does he play the William Tell Overture, he holds the guitar upside
down over his head and behind his head. Unreal! And he just keeps playing.
He was truly one of the greatest guitar players ever. I say, was, because Kim
says he doesn’t play guitar any more. He doesn’t even speak. He does give
hugs and smiles.

Take a minute and enjoy!!
For most of the1960s, Glen Campbell's brilliant guitar playing was
known only by a select few top recording studios and
artists.
Long before Glen became known nationally as an outstanding vocalist,
actor and TV personality, he was one of the most in-demand
recording studio guitarists in the world. He could have earned a
7-figure annual income as a high-end, requested-for-studio
guitarist for years on end if that had been all he cared to do. How
good was he? The Lone Ranger! You will enjoy! Take a look at
this video, one you may have never seen before.
Hi Yo Silver, Away! - It doesn't get much better than this. "The
William Tell Overture" by Giaochino Rossini.
Many of us grew up watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto on black and
white television.
Years later, many of us watched the Glen Campbell show on TV as well.
This video is a clip of a younger Glen Campbell playing the William
Tell Overture (with symphony
Orchestra) and dedicating it to Clayton Moore, who played the Lone
Ranger, and Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto.
You may never have seen Glen play like this before. This is
world-class guitar playing and Campbell makes it look easy.
The sounds of Glen Campbell on guitar and the symphony orchestra
playing Rossini's "William Tell Overture" will take you back to
those golden days of yesteryear, when the strains of the Rossini's
masterpiece coming over the radio meant the Lone Ranger show was about to
begin.
