Guitarist on "Fun, Fun, Fun"
William Williams
Who plays the Chuck Berry-like guitar intro on "Fun, Fun, Fun (Until
Daddy Takes the T-Bird Away)"? (What is the actual title of that
song?) Is it Glen Campbell? On which Beach Boys recordings does
Campbell play?

Chances are very good that Carl Wilson himself plays the guitar intro on
"Fun, Fun, Fun." Carl has always specialized in Chuck Berry-like licks
and, of all the Beach Boys (aside from Brian himself), he was the one
who had the greatest involvement in the instrumental tracks of their
pre-Summer Days/Summer Nights recordings. As for the precise tracks on
which Glen Campbell plays, that's going to require some research, which
probably won't yield definitive results anyway. But I'll try to remember
to give it a shot when I get home and can look through my Beach Boys
books. If I find out anything definite, I'll post it.

Campbell definitely plays on Dance Dance Dance. You can hear him talking
about his rhythm guitar parts on some of the Dance Dance Dance sessions
that show up on bootlegs. Other than that song, I don't know of anything
definitive.
