  • McGuinn's solo on this now classic, was one of the most heartfelt best, from

    1967. His entire arrangement here, is brilliant, and timelessly fresh 43 years

    later. David, your tributes are sincere efforts to recapture precious moments

    from a living legend. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

  • @movingon4ever Thank you very much!

  • you play very good and you sound just like roger himself;) do you wanna change your guitar for my eagle 12 string?

  • I'll stick with what I have. It took forever to get one. Your site is cool.

  • Where do you get a vest like that?

  • It's a biker vest. Any motorcycle store should have some.

  • WOW, these are great! I've always wanted to learn that jingle jangle style and these videos will go a long way to aid. The first album I ever purchased was a Byrds album, though I can't remember which. Keep on keepin' on...

  • @Byrds1967 This was always one of my favourite Byrds guitar solos on this track. Another is the lovely jazzy solo from 'Everybody's been burned'. Actually I have two 12 string guitars : both acoustic though ; one less expensive YAMAHA and then an imported MARTIN which is lovely but less expensive D12 X1, with the spruce top but high pressure laminate back and no markings on the fretboard. I bought it from U.S. website Elderley instruments.

  • Good rendition. I covered this on drums along with Eight Miles High and Turn, Turn, Turn. Keep playing.

  • Nice...

    5 stars..

    plz rate/comment one of mine 2, thanks.

  • Great job, man!

  • That was terrific! I'm jealous. I wore a pair of Roger McQuinn glasses to school back in 1965 and my homeroom teacher took them from me and I never got them back. And you know what? It just hit me. Her name was Mrs. Byrd!!!

  • Thanks to share this song with us; It is simply the greatest 1967 song, and it is the year that has probably be the richest for music melodies in versatile genres. And perhaps the greatest melody ever. If I 'll live in an island, that 's the one I 'll pick up first And what a great word/number associated nickname !

  • Byrds? dude Bob Dylan... It's not even fair when they were were less than a few decades apart... Still think Dylan did it better anyways...

  • Excellent buddy first class job there and the glasses thrown in too well done I look forward to more tributes from a great band and Roger McGuinn

  • BTW in Folk Rewind, McGuinn played My Back Pages using the Turn, Turn, Turn picking. It sounded great! I think I like it better.
