I like how you're teaching and playing with the capo, because it's not that easy to sing, so this allows someone like me to adjust to my voice. In a Beato interview, Jimmy Webb talks about getting a phone call from James Taylor. "You told me it was in F, but there is no F chord?" Webb confirms that it is, in fact, in F tho' without every having fretted or piano-ed the chord.
Many consider this one of the greatest songs ever written. And adding Glen Campbell and Carol Kaye and The Wrecking Crew made the perfect storm of writing and producing and recording an iconic timeless masterpiece. I remember being struck by the sound of this song as a very young boy. It still brings me a special array of memories that wash over me taking me across times in my life and the history world in my five decades of being aware. Music and smell are the memory centers of our brain. Olfactory is largest and biggest. But for those of us who are musicians or at least Music lovers, the sounds of our life is valuable and moving at times.
Such a beautiful song… Jimmy Webb wrote some amazing songs! And to get Glenn Campbell to cover this song was just a perfect choice! Jon, this is the best lesson I’ve ever seen on this song… Thank you so much!
FANTASTIC! ❤️This is one of the most important songs in the soundtrack of my life. This is the first tutorial I’ve seen that does this song justice and it sounds incredible. I love that you don’t shy away from giving us a challenging song and techniques from time to time to help us improve. You are the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel dumb saying this but that folksie way you said "hey friends" just felt like what I wanted to hear from the guy showing me this song... great work and it's really appreciated!
Would love you to teach us: Galveston, oh Galveston I still hear your sea winds blowing I still see her dark eyes glowing She was 21 When I left Galveston Thanks Jon ❤️🙏
Fantastic instruction, this has always been a favourite song shared by my son and I, thanks so much for the straight forward and simply instruction!!!! Sincerely appreciated Jon. 🙏🙏
This is a very smooth song. I think I could learn all those slash chords. I’ll be looking to add some flavor to my future originals. That Cmaj7/G sounds amazing!
There ya go! Well you’re a songwriter Shawn, so taking a look at great songs is essential. Also yeah that Cmaj7/G is almost like an E shape but on the lower strings. Keep up the great work. 🎸
A lesson showing how you would play the melody over this would be great....incorporating the slides and other things you do that make it so nice. Thanks.
Great question when learning new chords how long time wise do you give your self each day just to practice new chords /riffs for it to become automatic as I try to give my self a hour out of each day to practice riffs but the next day I forget where I am and I have to look again and go over it again don't if it just me taking ages to learn new songs/riffs thanks for this songs awesome tribute mate awesome big thumbs up defo top of the list I will play this song really cheer me up
Great adaptation. I’ve been playing it for years with no kapo - a little harder and not as correct sounding. Would be great if you could add the riff with passable in/out transitions. That’s the hardest part for me.
Hi Jon. Have been enjoying your lessons and learning a lot from them too. I know you always accurate to the songs but would you be able to do an EASY version of James Taylor's You can close your eyes. Seems very difficult with all the chord changes and I would love to learn how I could play a simpler side of it. Thanks again. I do love your lessons.
Really enjoying your lessons, also on songs like this one that I‘ve been playing for a while, albeit with quite different chord voicings (starting in a Gmaj7 shape on 3rd fret). Your voicings are much closer to the truth, I‘m sure, though one spot I love in the song is missing from your version: the little bass riff that follows „overload“. I‘ll see if I can recreate that within your progressions, in which case I‘d gladly relearn the song. :-)
Your portfolio of music genres is so varied, that I must admit, I'm not into every song lesson. But often enough you do an oldie or classic that just perferct for my taste (and age)....like this one (and Beatles, and on and on). However I do appreciate all your efforts. Great lessons, great channel. Thanks for all
Disappointed that you didn't mention Jimmy Webb in the intro. Great songwriter that fed Glen Campbell some of his biggest hits. Nice work on the video.
Believe in Jesus Christ and the blood He shed for you and repent of your sins and be saved from hell before it’s eternally too late if you haven’t already. Great lesson

Carol Kaye of the wrecking crew was the one who came up with the opening with her bass guitar. Great song.

Fantastic lesson John
Great lesson ihave learnt this song but love your chords sounds so lovley Jonthanks Colin UK 🇬🇧
Very cool, thanks for this lesson. When he plays this live he does not use a capo, interesting to see how he plays in different chord shapes.
Awesome lesson! Thanks!

Glen did not play it live with a capo.What are the chords without the capo
@@braddanielson7705 Just make believe the capo starts on the first fret (the nut on the guitar)
Jon, how about the short solo section? Chords and notes? I’m having trouble putting that together with the capo on 5th fret
Thanks for a great lesson! Is this in the same key as the original version by glen campbell?
Is this the way Keith Urban plays it? Your voicing is great!
I didn't get any tabs for Witchita Lineman. I got several other tabs but nothing for this song.
Though Campbell played it without a capo, playing the chords with the capo sounds a lot sweeter
I've head it without the capo - butt is he tuned down a half-step?
nice sounding guitar. what brand?
Looks like a D’Angelico to me. The tell-tale cut out right at the top of the headstock is a give away. Sweet sounding thang.
On reflection I do believe it’s a Maton ( Australian brand). Still sounds sweet but mech dearer than a D’Angelico.
Play the voicings with the chords. Thanks

Too many chords in this song Jon
Wrong
That’s wrong sorry
Lets see your version
Much too fast and unclear
