Not all of the "Crew" were good sight readers. Glen Campbell, as mentioned in many other interviews of Crew players and in the doco., wasn't always a reader when he was a regular but worked by ear, chord charts and asking the other players about the key & progression.

Yes, Glen talked many times about Tommy Tedesco showing him parts that he couldn't read. Tommy was arguably one of the best guitarist sight readers back in the day. I think the wrecking crew's strength lay in the creation of parts when all they had were chord charts. The creation of some of the most iconic parts of songs we probably all know by heart today were created on the spot in the studio by these players.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
