Good playing but I think you left part of the song out.The part that goes Why so worried sisters why say the silver bells of wye.D,BM G,E.Never saw those cords...

[9Kzaar11]

Complete with peace sign and all...

Bravo!!! Well done! I could listen to that Rick. all night!!

Smooth and cleanly played. Nice choice, this is one of my favorites, and its so underrepresented as part of the Byrds catalog.

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you! I may do this one over again eventually. I am not quite happy with it...but it was a one shot live performance so it is what it is. -BC

[Acerian]

wow wow wow wow!

this is soo awsum!!!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I will probably redo this one eventually. I was not happy with the guitar being slightly out of tune to my ears after I did the video...LOL Check out some of the other Byrds and Beatles covers I did and you might like them a little better. Thanks for watching!

[Acerian]

you should try

And your bird can sing - The Beatles

the version on anthology 2.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I know that one but it has been a while since I have played it. Maybe eventually...LOL -BC

Wonderful!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

Great sound! Thanks for posting. One of my favorites as well.

Miss that beautiful vocal chord fading to just Crosby at the end, though!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

Man! You were going great til about the 6th chord in that solo. Not bad though. The Rick sound just kills! Wow.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks for watching! As I said to one You Tube viewer a few months ago, these are just songs that I have always liked, but would never take the time to record in my home studio...so they are not perfect studio creations/performances by any stretch. I'm just an old drummer who plays guitar by ear anyway...LOL -BC

[swlabr123]

Probably my fave Byrds song...nice Buddy

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! It is probably my favorite Byrds song as well. -BC

I'll have to look into it... -BC

Thanks! -BC

Congratulation for your playing and your sound :-)

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[AxeWraith]

Very authentically replicated, man, as are all of your Byrds covers. Thank you for posting these vids. I've puzzled especially over a few of the inversions for Bells of Rhymney, so your rendition is enlightening (and sounds great, too -- I've got a 370/12 w/vintage pickups).

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks for watching! I really like my Rickenbacker...and one of these days I am going to have to go get a 360-6 string model...with vintage Toaster Pickups! :-)

I like this take. I'm rather fond of the walking bass from G to F#.
