    Timeless classic that I've listened to since I was a boy and am now in my 60s. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

    I heard Rick Beato say that and now I hear you agree with him. I also agree. I just love it. Glen Campbell was such an underrated guitar player for a guy who was one of the best.

    Kind of an emotional song for me. Reminds of when I was young and my dad drove me on my paper route when the weather was bad. He’d be listening to the radio this was one of those songs from that era. And such a melancholy vibe to this song. Lost my dad 4 years ago. Every time I hear this song I think of Dad. Thanks for sharing Shane, love this song.

    Thanks. I think that C9 chord was the anchor for this song . Never had heard it before 1968 in a pop song. I think I'll try it tuned down a half step so I can sing it (maybe)!

    If anyone here ever has the chance to see Jimmy Webb, don't miss the show; great music of course and the stories behind the songs. If not, the Beato interview of him is priceless. The mutual admiration and friendship between Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell endures in the genuine story telling that JW brings to his shows. Great lesson Shane, and hope to see more Jimmy Webb tunes featured in the years to come!

    Glen Campbell -- great artist! Wichita Lineman -- great song! I knew it'd been around awhile, but 1968?! I would've guessed sometime in the '70s. I can remember hearing it on the car radio when I was a kid back then. Back when Atlanta's WSB-AM played music.
    Anyway -- great song and a great lesson as usual. I always love your playalongs. They make this channel unique compared to all the other tutorial channels on UA-cam. Thanks!

Plus, that wacky C bar chord is in the chorus of The Story In Your Eyes by the Moody Blues, a reminder there. That'll be on the set list now too. I wish the world would decide that Wichita Lineman was the only "on hold" music. Too many abuse it trying to annoy folks into hanging up... like those 3 digit calls for city services

    Thanks for your breakdown of this song. Nice work. However, for the purists out there, this is not "completely" how he played the song. There are plenty of videos of him playing that I have looked at and they are all generally the same. Granted, he was notorious for changing it up over the years but it was still mostly intact. To be fair though, when Rick Beato broke it down, he did it roughly the same as you. Keep up the great work though. I have learned a lot on your channel.

      Thanks Mark - I completely agree....here's the thing....if you have a full band and are free to roam on the guitar you'd play the same chords but in different places on the guitar as well as adding bursts of lead stuff as he did so well. Best to you, Shane

      @@GuitarAtWork Absolutely. I just very rarely saw him use any bar chords when playing this song which was my comment but to your point, you can play them in different places and get the same sound. Just a purist thing. Have a nice one, stay out of the heat and keep up the great work!

    I might be wrong about this, but Im pretty sure I heard an interview with Jimmy Webb where he said he gave Glenn that song for the album he was recording because they needed one more song, and Witchita lineman wasnt finished yet. Glenn Campbell is the original recording.

      Amazing thanks for that. I know that there’s an interview with Jimmy on Rick Beato‘s UA-cam channel. I haven’t watched it yet but I do plan to either. It’s an amazing song by two. Amazing artist best to you. Cheers, Shane.

      @@GuitarAtWork yes sir. And if you havent seen it, look up glen doing Gentle on my mind. Its the one where hes surrounded by the whos who of nashvillle circa 1985. He rips an accoustic solo thatis something to behold.

      @@GuitarAtWork Gr8 video anyway, Shane. 😃 Btw, bassist Carol Kaye says she improvised the intro bass lick to order at the recording session with Glen Campbell and other members of the Wrecking Crew collective. The way she tells it, she started playing the six descending notes with the _wrong_ key in mind, but "caught it" in the nick of time and ended on F as required - the only time in the entire song that the tonic chord Fmaj is heard. That's the genius of Jimmy Webb, I guess!
