When Glen Campbell took this solo, he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. He didn't recognize himself in old pictures, he didn't know what day, month, season or year it was. He was honored with a Grammy but didn't really completely understand what it was. - In the movie "I'll Be Me" which documents his last tour after going public with his diagnosis, he tells the doctor, "I can still play geetar, though!", and man, he wasn't joking. The disease hadn't progressed yet to the point where he lost his improvisational skills at all - in fact, they said it was so ingrained in him that it would probably be among the last things to go. The proof is right here.
This is a solo that anybody anywhere at any level of health would be proud to pull off, All of Glen's hallmarks and trademarks - the fast runs, the arpeggios, the odd outside notes, the chromaticism - it's all there just like it was when he was at his peak.
I really had a blast learning and playing this one. Hope it serves you well.
