  • Here is my instrumental cover version of "Wichita Lineman" which was first recorded by the American country music singer Glen Campbell and released as a single in 1968 from the album of the same name. It was written by Jimmy Webb and has gone on to be covered by many other artists such as Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Hank Marvin, R.E.M, Andy Williams and Ray Charles.
    I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Bridge Pickup) with the Zoom G2.1Nu with Echoes From The Past (EFTP Patch A9). Recording was via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
    The backing track was a custom one purchased from Karaoke Version - www.karaoke-ve...
    I also used tablature by Phil McGarrick which can be downloaded here - www.philmcgarri... uk
    I hope you enjoy my version of this classic song
    LYRICS:
    I am a lineman for the county
    And I drive the main road
    Searchin' in the sun for another overload
    I hear you singing in the wire
    I can hear you through the whine
    And the Wichita lineman
    Is still on the line
    I know I need a small vacation
    But it don't look like rain
    And if it snows that stretch down south
    Won't ever stand the strain
    And I need you more than want you
    And I want you for all time
    And the Wichita lineman
    Is still on the line
    And I need you more than want you
    And I want you for all time
    And the Wichita lineman
    Is still on the line

    Hey Chris, I ❤this tune. I picked this one up from the late great Steve Reynolds, and have played it ever since. You made a great version of it, those swells in the end work out really good. All the best, Michael

    • @chrishampton1981
      @chrishampton1981  Před 2 lety

      Hi Michael!
      Thank you for the listen and kind words. I really loved playing this, was a great way to get myself back into playing guitar after quite a break. The swells at the end were actually influenced by your version which I thought was excellent.
      Best Wishes
      Chris
