The Byrds -Roger McGuinn's guitar style

[DrinkThunderbird]

If you liked this, you'll love his "Live from Mars" album. A chronological history of his music, told in words and song before a live audience. A true American Master and he is one of the few guys who actually looked OK with a mullet!

Wow, I like this, very informative. I covered on drums here on YT 8 Miles High & Turn, Turn, Turn, great songs.

not quite sure why he's just standing there playing on a deck

[Zepster77]

@ejectorerector Maybe to get a little sun...?

[devdeanndyl]

What is this documentary and where can it be found?

[annetteedwards]

@devdeanndyl

It's called Guitar Expo Show 1992, so it's nearly 20 years old now. You might be able to find it on one of those file sharing arrangements, I don't know. Runs for 1 hour so only able to put small clips on YT.

Tom Petty and REM were heavily influenced by The Byrds and McGuinn.

@Franzko787 WHAT MCGUINN can do i shouldnt say should do is have a byrds imitation record like the rutles and call it captain soul and the space cowboys and do parodys of byrdsongs .

[fanzappa]

@spacepatrolman that's the dumbest thing i have heard in awhile, here on the utube. the beatles did not parody themselves. an orig.artist would be lowering himself to do that. they just go on and create new music. you might say the new music is a parody, but that would be wrong.

[spacepatrolman]

@fanzappa the beatles parodied themselves when they sang she loves you at the end of all you need is love george martin said he created the beatles they didnt know what they were doing they did please please me slow to sound like roy orbison he told them to speed up the tempo

[fanzappa]

@spacepatrolman woah!, how about some puncuation, dude...you obviously do not know what parody means...

[tecnolover2642]

One of the greatest bands of the 60's. When I hear Tambourine man and Turn Turn Turn it's the sound of the era and McGuins folk sound and style played a huge part.

[carolahb]

@tecnolover2642 Oh, contrare. The Byrds were one of the best bands OF ALL TIMES.

[ste123456754]

@tecnolover2642 i totally agree with your comment

[Gunfighter1b]

It's from a documentary made in 1992 on the history of the electric guitar.
