In today's lesson I'll teach you how to play Wichita Lineman, the all-time classic written by Jimmy Webb & recorded by Glen Campbell.

This song is originally recorded in the Key of F — but I teach a capo 5th fret version that uses the Key of C chord family. This makes things quite a bit easier to play, while still capturing the nuance of Campbell's original recording. Plus – you can play over his album version using my capo 5 version, which makes for great practice.
