Jerry Reed & Glen Campbell performing one of my favorites - the "Guitar Man" Enjoy Remember i don't have the rights, just sorry i couldn't find it anywhere :)
You only say that because he never stole your wife, mom, or daughter. You were one of the lucky ones. Some of us have had several wives stolen by Jerry. Dang thing is he's so smooth we just keep him around anyhow. Watch your back is all.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 man he would. I've known a few people just like him and we need a few more. A big big man with an extra smile for you if you need one.
The year was 1973 and I was a long haired, pot smoking, die hard Rock n Roll fan. None of my friends could understand why I would "waste my money" on a pair of Jerry Reed tickets. I just smiled knowingly, ended up going alone and had a blast. Music is like the worlds greatest buffet. Don't be the guy who just eats the shrimp.
it's refreshing to see this kinda attitude instead of the usual "MUSIC THESE DAYS JUST DON'T COMPARE" blah blah nonsense you see in the comments on music from previous decades. I'm only 30 and I love this stuff and Jerry Reed, but I listen to more genres than I can keep track of, from so many points in time. Music now is often just as good as music then, too. There's just far more of it so you often have to dig for what you'll like.
Honestly, they may just be the greatest to ever pick a guitar. Name anyone who can play like that, on that level? They are insanely underrated and insanely great.
It's not like people don't still play like this, they do! the market expanded, not there are other tools. Nobody complained when les Paul multi tracked live... yu live in the past, and seem to not know where to look for Music anymore. Turn off your car radio, and Spotify, and do some work. We musicians still do and laugh at your kind of complaining ignorance of what is. You are both just whining.
Jerry lays down his guitar for his own song and lets Glen Campbell play with a humble dude and Glen Campbell has an amazing voice this video is just mind-boggling
These are likely the two finest guitar players to ever live. To see them doing a Jerry Reed tune together makes this one of the most important and special moments in the history of the movement of air.
two amazing guitarists right there. pay close attention to those last few seconds where they're doing two lead breaks but Glen is doing high notes and Jerry is doing low notes and it all matches together every note, totally insane. awesome video thanks for sharing!
From session players to super stars. A couple of talented country boys. What an impact they made on music. The world would be a much duller place without them.
This is awesome. Back when entertainment was pure and the whole Family could sit down and watch it. I dig these 2 Cats. Definitely missed. Rest in peace.
Love to listen to both of these guys but Glen Campbell was an influence to me as a youngster and love his music and his style was awesome. Thank you Mr. Campbell for all you did for crossing over country and pop music. You are a legend Sir.
Jerry Reed was a prefomer at the highest level..he could play lights out ..he was funny ..and he could make a audiences just set and stare or have the time of their lives...truely was a Golden entertainer
How we got so lucky as to have both of these musical geniuses on this planet with us at the same time is beyond me. I can never stop listening to these two. Pure talent!
Put Roy Clark in there. I'm over 50 and was not paying attention to their fingers during there time. I was too young to understand. They were smiling entertainers telling stories and jokes while playing. CZcams has been my blessing to see how great these players were.
As a Cab driver I had the Honor of picking this man up at his traveling bus in back of a night club. He was drunk as hell but his personality was the same as sober. Great. Face him a 70 mile ride and will say enjoyed every mile of his company
This right here.....is absolutely timeless.....you break this out in just about any crowd.....and people going to get into it.....awesome skills from two of the best of friends.....
was watching Smokey and the Bandit and started to wonder what Jerry Reed's music was like... DAMN i've been missing out this whole time. This man can pick with the best of 'em
You can't teach what they do. Campbell one of the greatest guitarist of all time. And oh so versatile. And no one, I mean no One Son..can sing like Jerry Reed. He had an incredible way of talking at 90 mph through a song. A great video. Thanks.
ah, back when entertainers actually could play the hell out of an instrument. Reed was a monster really. But Chet had the chops too and a little more grounded technique. Glenn, Roy Clark... so many good players.
Unreal - they make such a complex song, both guitar-wise and vocally, look and SOUND SO EASY.. rest in peace, gentlemen, and thank you for all the great music and fun times.
Also a good actor and dancer. He was part of a '50's - 8 min song dance set Glenn Campbell Show where Jerry Glen Little Richard Dom DeLuise and David Cassidy jived with partners. Man can Jerry dance!!
I still remember the radio announcement that Jerry Reed was gone. Still get a little misty eyed whenever I hear any of his work on the classic country channels.
Was lucky enough to catch one of Glen's shows on his Farewell Tour in Nashville a few weeks ago, and while he did forget a couple of song lines during the show--what 75 year-old wouldn't--his guitar playing skills haven't eroded one bit and his voice is still superb. Definitely catch a show if you can
Something I love more than music is when it's so obvious that the musicians are absolutely LOVING what they do and you can tell they're having a great time :)
I look back at my life and recall the music from the 1960's up until now and I realize how lucky I am to have experienced it all. The best thing about it is going back to all the songs and play them over and over .Thank you to everyone from the artist's to the Person that uploaded the music.
I'm even older. My high school days were the mid-fifties when a crossroad of several music genres all crossed in about 1955. Country crossover with Lefty Frizzel, Big Bopper, Ferlin Husky and many others. WW11 stuff was still around like the big bands, andrew sisters, mcqjuire sisters, and out of rythym & blues, howled Elvis, the king. Oh, I forgot to mention the original rock & roll band. Bill Haley and the Comets. Those were the days, my friends. Although the 70's brought a new revival of folk and rock that was probably just as good.
BIG OMG! Jerry Reed, you are so underappreciated by the masses, but SOOOOOOO appreciated by us masses who matter! You have been singing to me thru the radidio my whole life, since I was a little girl, and I STILL Love You. Of course we crossed the country together in Smokey & the Bandit, but you have always existed in my heart and my head and my favorite music, you are funny, so funny, easy, so many verbs I can't fit them all in. I have admired you for decades as my favorite uncle. Love you, Deb
It's amazing how many people didn't know how good these two were. In the early 70's I had an album by Chet and Jerry. I still remember the album cover, an old car, and Jerry is changing a flat tire and Chet is sitting on a fender playin guitar. Good stuff.
Well, it's a different world with a different music but now we have CZcams and can dial up virtually any song that has ever been recorded or video'd, so enjoy!
These two had a connection like no other! Both had mutual respect and tons of talent. Little known but Jerry suggested the cool guitar breakdown between verses of "Southern Nights" - one of Glen's bigget hits.
I have to smile when I see some people posting comments about auto-tune and such. First, there weren't no such thing back then and second, they didn't need it! This was a world previous to recording trickery, you know, when talent reigned supreme.
Wow.. areally great clip. Glen is smokin all through this piece. Listen to the fills all through the first and last verse which is basically a carry over from his solo. I loved Jerry 's solo with that legendary Tele sound. . soo funky! I think he has a unique singing style ...This was great!
Those two....I'm not sure which one makes it look easier. Jerry cracks me up - most people don't have a clue of his playing ability. I could listen to these two go back and forth for the rest of my life.
Sublime. From here in the UK, I've long admired Glen's music and guitar playing. But I only knew Jerry Reed as Snowman in Smokey & the Bandit. Then a few years back I learned he was a C&W singer. But only a few weeks ago I heard his guitar work! Holy Moly, he must have been up with the very best. RIP Glen and Jerry
If you like Jerry as Snowman check out another movie he's in with Robin Williams and Walter Matthau. It's from the '80's and called Survivors. Reed plays a great role. Imagine Snowman as a hitman. Legendary.
Two of the very finest musicians in country music. RIP gentlemen - I bet Glen is tuning up his guitar and getting ready to duel Jerry at the Pearly Gates.
Danny Cunningham The guy playing, Jerry Reed, who first recorded it back in the 60s. And as for today's musicians having even a fraction of the talent in this video, name one?
Brian Baker, A punk George Harrison, never over does the solo like George in the beatles. Or technically and super fast soloing-Dragonforces guitarists, ey voila
Stfu granda. That's a stupid comment by someone who is out of touch with what's happened with music since 'back in the day', and I don't mean listing to top 40 radio shit. You sound just like the old folks said about music from their time compared to the time this video was made.
I don't care who you are, watching Jerry Reed play should put a smile on your face.
Every time man, every time!
You only say that because he never stole your wife, mom, or daughter. You were one of the lucky ones. Some of us have had several wives stolen by Jerry. Dang thing is he's so smooth we just keep him around anyhow. Watch your back is all.
He'd put his arm around the whole world if his sleeve was longer.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 man he would. I've known a few people just like him and we need a few more. A big big man with an extra smile for you if you need one.

Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell, Chet Akins, and Roy Clark. Some of the finest, talented, entertaining guitar guys to ever vibrate a string.
Honestly, they may just be the greatest to ever pick a guitar.
Name anyone who can play like that, on that level?
They are insanely underrated and insanely great.
Dont forget good ol Luther Perkins and Waylon!
Elijah Fisher Or Bob Wooton, Marty Stuart,Roy Nichols, James Burton
Depends on what you're looking for, are you looking for guitar calisthenics, or are you looking for something different...
And Luther Perkins and Carl Perkins
Only one man could run with Glen Campbell and that was Jerry Reed. What an absolute gem this is. Wow. Wow. Wow.. ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮❤❤❤
No doubt. I think JR is the only guy who intimidated GC on the axe.
Real AX men
@@mikegilbert2500 The great Chet Atkins also
Roy Clark
Ain't that the truth I could not have said it better myself
No auto-tune, loops, lip synching...nothing but the pinnacle of talent in their musicianship with top tier showmanship live and on stage.
Amen to that. 🥰
It's not like people don't still play like this, they do! the market expanded, not there are other tools. Nobody complained when les Paul multi tracked live... yu live in the past, and seem to not know where to look for Music anymore. Turn off your car radio, and Spotify, and do some work.

FEEL! Real feel. Electronics don’t allow for it.
@@robbiet8583❤
another no "autotune" fool
You just can't help but smile when Jerry Reed is performing
Outstanding......singing those tongue twisting lyrics while playing the guitar......two of the best......may they both RIP.
How could anyone have a bad day with Jerry Reed??
Jerry Reed has so much personality that even if he wasn't a musician he would be famous for something else I bet.
LONG LIVE THE SNOWMAN, we got us a convoy!
@@1Igster1 yes Reed was the snowman
He loved his nose candy
Big time coke head
@@lendrury2771 pretty sure he and Roy Clarke used the coca to their advantage,those hands can move.
Smokey and the Bandit, for one.
I will never, never, never, never, never, never ever get tired of this. NOT EVER!
Sadly, we will never see a time like this again with this level of talent. But at least we have their records and videos.
Nine years later, your comment still stands. If anything it's truer now.
Jerry lays down his guitar for his own song and lets Glen Campbell play with a humble dude and Glen Campbell has an amazing voice this video is just mind-boggling
Don't be stupid.
.. ONLY if you PAY AND AGREE TO THEIR "TERMS"!
Billy strings is about as close as we’re gonna get
Glen's playing was nothing short of AMAZING 💯❤️
Where is the time machine to go back to the era I belong????
These are likely the two finest guitar players to ever live. To see them doing a Jerry Reed tune together makes this one of the most important and special moments in the history of the movement of air.
You left out Roy Clark.
Grant Green? Wes? etc.
two amazing guitarists right there. pay close attention to those last few seconds where they're doing two lead breaks but Glen is doing high notes and Jerry is doing low notes and it all matches together every note, totally insane. awesome video thanks for sharing!
This is my favorite Jerry Reed song and this version is with Glen Campbell! You can't get better than this.
I bet you’re a returning viewer too! This version is just too good to be true, cant’t get enough!
Not many can hold a candle to Glen Cambell's guitar playing but Jerry was sure one of them.
Yeah those two were diamond level players.
deemdoubleu ....well said .....
yea he was kickin some ass for a bit
Glen Campbell....
I'd have reversed the phrase, but yes, both immensely talented players. Jerry, Chet, Merle and Roy are the best of the time
2024! Still here! We Love you Jerry!
Classic example of “ the best person to actually play this great song, is the person who wrote it “
Jerry Reed
Massive talent ❤
From session players to super stars. A couple of talented country boys. What an impact they made on music. The world would be a much duller place without them.
Two of the best. What a privilege to see them working together.
Never saw Jerry Reed when he wasn’t having a great time
You don’t even need to see it, you can hear it in his records too, he’s having a good time.. so good!!
I have.
When The Waterboy started breaking records.
Jerry gave me the impression of a very kind and gracious individual in this clip....
Absolutely!
This is awesome. Back when entertainment was pure and the whole Family could sit down and watch it. I dig these 2 Cats. Definitely missed. Rest in peace.
Both of these men are human legends for all eternity. God bless you Jerry and Glen.
No doubt
Love to listen to both of these guys but Glen Campbell was an influence to me as a youngster and love his music and his style was awesome. Thank you Mr. Campbell for all you did for crossing over country and pop music. You are a legend Sir.
Jerry Reed was a prefomer at the highest level..he could play lights out ..he was funny ..and he could make a audiences just set and stare or have the time of their lives...truely was a Golden entertainer
Can you beleive it, Jerry, Glen, Elvis and Burt Reynolds are all gone.
How we got so lucky as to have both of these musical geniuses on this planet with us at the same time is beyond me. I can never stop listening to these two. Pure talent!
Fred Herrman our generation was blessed.
Put Roy Clark in there. I'm over 50 and was not paying attention to their fingers during there time. I was too young to understand. They were smiling entertainers telling stories and jokes while playing. CZcams has been my blessing to see how great these players were.

Two genius guitarist of any era.You just can"t make this up.
This right here.....is absolutely timeless.....you break this out in just about any crowd.....and people going to get into it.....awesome skills from two of the best of friends.....
You’d almost think Glen is playing catch up the whole time until he breaks into the last solo…amazing
Glen was one of the best guitar players of all time. Cheers
was watching Smokey and the Bandit and started to wonder what Jerry Reed's music was like... DAMN i've been missing out this whole time. This man can pick with the best of 'em
So much guitar talent between these two!! So good. 😲👌
IT DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS !!!!!
Got to see Glen & Jerry in concert
in Fort Worth 1970
These 2 are great. 😄❤️
jerry had it all. looks, terrific voice and guitar player.
+Margaret Brown and charm!
The Snowman & the incredible Glen Campbell (what a combo)
You got your ears on? Snowman
Smokey and the Bandit & True Grit - two classics
I believe Glen was snortin' some show at this show.
That almost makes sense.
@@brianmccall452 think he meant snow at show
Don't know if there will ever be another like them... Just.. legendary.
Two superior guitarists. They always praise rock guitarists but these country boys hold their own with anybody !
You can't teach what they do. Campbell one of the greatest guitarist of all time. And oh so versatile. And no one, I mean no One Son..can sing like Jerry Reed. He had an incredible way of talking at 90 mph through a song. A great video. Thanks.

Jerry had a unique style, tuning etc
I was gonna give you a thumbs up, but I couldn't screw the current 42 up...
rip to all 3
Jerry was the king of the finger pickers. Even Chet said Jerry could outplay him.
Chet can play that guitar !!
Unreal - they make such a complex song, both guitar-wise and vocally, look and SOUND SO EASY.. rest in peace, gentlemen, and thank you for all the great music and fun times.
no matter your preferred music genre, theres no denying that you are listening to something really special
Jerry Reed was so talented as guitarist but also as singer.
Maurizio De Caro n
understatement of the century
Also a good actor and dancer. He was part of a '50's - 8 min song dance set Glenn Campbell Show where Jerry Glen Little Richard Dom DeLuise and David Cassidy jived with partners. Man can Jerry dance!!
He was no slouch at song writing either - Guitar Man, U.S Male, A Thing Called Love and the humorous She Got the Goldmine ( I got the shaft ).
The best country rapper ever.
I still remember the radio announcement that Jerry Reed was gone. Still get a little misty eyed whenever I hear any of his work on the classic country channels.
Right, he became so much better known for his acting roles that his music career kinda got lost in the process
Was lucky enough to catch one of Glen's shows on his Farewell Tour in Nashville a few weeks ago, and while he did forget a couple of song lines during the show--what 75 year-old wouldn't--his guitar playing skills haven't eroded one bit and his voice is still superb. Definitely catch a show if you can

I love Jerry Reed. 😘 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn they were incredible!

I've often thought that myself in fact very often
Absolutely!
Glenn was one of Jerry's VERY FEW equals back in those days. I miss them both every day.
Two Greats showing everybody how it's done...
Both are gone and never will there be their like again!
WBM/Music proud !ary
I think this is the most upbeat version I've ever heard of this song.

Two great guitar legends...Jerry Reed & Glenn Campbell. ..they were AWESOME.
It breaks my heart where Glen is now, and that Jerry is gone. This duet of Southern Nights is the best I ever heard.
I think these two must of loved to play together. Both have incrediable talent and in my minds eye I can see them playing off one another.
Two of the greatest pickers that ever lived. Heaven must be Rockin'~!!!
That's some mighty fine pickin from two of the greats..
It's amazing how many people didn't know how good these two were. In the early 70's I had an album by Chet and Jerry. I still remember the album cover, an old car, and Jerry is changing a flat tire and Chet is sitting on a fender playin guitar. Good stuff.
Jerry had a way of funnin' with Glen, and Chet. He could bring out the relaxed side to these guys.
So was Bowie at one stage . Guess it didn't do either of them too much harm !
Holy cow! Could these guys bring it or what! Nothing these days even compares to this...
Jerry Reed was a very underrated Guitar Player.
I hate new country, This is the country music I miss and will never see/hear again.
Well, it's a different world with a different music but now we have CZcams and can dial up virtually any song that has ever been recorded or video'd, so enjoy!
AMEN!
Jerry kicks ass !!! He had so much rhythm and soul.
Wow! Two of the best right there! Thanks for all the years of entertainment!
🙌
What a man!.....Jerry was one hell of a guitar player and a personality we just dont see these days
Them boys could just flat out play and sing...no frills but they come at you right between the eyes with their playing...humor...and humility
Ain't this just absolutely the best music ever
Every time I discover more Jerry Reed on YT ...he just blows my mind...EFFORTLESS!!!!
These two had a connection like no other! Both had mutual respect and tons of talent. Little known but Jerry suggested the cool guitar breakdown between verses of "Southern Nights" - one of Glen's bigget hits.
two of the best, listening to them for over 50 years .... and i'm a rock and roll guy ...
OMG... every Heavy Metal player should hear this. These guys more than pick.
2 of my favorites. Stars of Nashville, recording, stage, screen and TV. What a gem of a performance. Show 'em son!
Jerry Reed is the king of country rock and roll funk. Love his voice and playing. Very soulful
Perfection !!!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Two of the greatest guitar players ever.
R.I.P. Glen Campbell. Right now he and Jerry are havin' one helluva jam session in heaven
I could listen to these two trade licks all day. Jerry a CGP and Glen could be in the conversation. Amazing players.
Glen and Jerry are simply too good to comment on!
Ole Jerry Reed reminds me of my grandpa. Looked like him, and talked like him. Even born in the same generation. RIP to both of them
I could see Jerry Reed as Colt Sever in that Unknown Stuntman show!
The Fall Guy
I have to smile when I see some people posting comments about auto-tune and such. First, there weren't no such thing back then and second, they didn't need it! This was a world previous to recording trickery, you know, when talent reigned supreme.
Wow.. areally great clip. Glen is smokin all through this piece. Listen to the fills all through the first and last verse which is basically a carry over from his solo. I loved Jerry 's solo with that legendary Tele sound. . soo funky! I think he has a unique singing style ...This was great!

John Charlton: Exactly how I feel. These guys are two of my all-time favorites, and there will never be anyone like them.
If you like Jerry as Snowman check out another movie he's in with Robin Williams and Walter Matthau. It's from the '80's and called Survivors. Reed plays a great role. Imagine Snowman as a hitman. Legendary.
These two guys were so incredible in their own right. Playing together they are awe inspiring!
This is faaaaaaaaaantastic!!!! Yeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings from Poland!
How Ya'll doin over yonder? How's ya Mama an them!!!! Purty Country ya got there Jaroslaw!!! Minds me of NE Georgia in parts!
These two together BEYOND AWESOME!!!!!
Two of the very finest musicians in country music. RIP gentlemen - I bet Glen is tuning up his guitar and getting ready to duel Jerry at the Pearly Gates.
A prime example of the art of guitar work. Both of these guys can manhandle a guitar with the best of them.
Back in the day when popular musicians had real talent.
They still do, idiot!! love the song who wrote it an who first recorded it?
Danny Cunningham The guy playing, Jerry Reed, who first recorded it back in the 60s. And as for today's musicians having even a fraction of the talent in this video, name one?

This is a good as it gets......Really powerful........
There. Will. Never. Be. Another. Jerry. Reed. Or. Glen. Campbell.

RIP Jerry Reed and now, one of my all-time favorite artists, Glen Campbell. :(
Those guys were fabulous
GREATNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two guitar geniuses having a blast!
