susie b Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Any song with Glen Campbell, whether his own work or as a studio musician or contract player. GC was a virtuoso. Heard an interview with Alice Cooper on his good pal Glen. AC said that Eddie Van Halen asked him if he could get a guitar lesson with Glen. Due to the style of country music, most fellas who "came up" in this style of music play very clean. Look at other country virtuosos like Roy Clark. Tones as clean as a whistle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovation guitars were all the rage in the 1970s. Seems like just about everyone played 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Jimmy Page was a great record producer and record maker He was a sloppy guitar player and could not reproduce what he did on his records. I did like his session work with Tom Jones including this one!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
