Many think Glen Campbell may be the greatest guitar player ever, period.

I read they are studying how he can play so well even with advanced Alzheimer’s. The disease doesn’t seem to get in the way of that part of the brain.

Really interesting but sad when we lose an artist this great (and a wonderful guy by all reports) a little at a time.

In one of the latest updates, it was reported that he was no longer able to play the guitar. It probably won’t be too much longer...

“I read they are studying how he can play so well even with advanced Alzheimer’s.”

Maybe it involves a larger percentage of muscle memory, and less brain memory.

I saw him in concert about three years ago. It was very sad.
