Okay...I'll try this again. Will someone tell me WHO and/or what instrument is playing the "dit dit" in the background. It is I assume a guitar. Is it the 12 string? Is it McGuinn? Or not? I really don't care who...but for me that dit dit makes the song

[HIghFlyinByrd]

@LTF6161 6-string guitar, I reckon. Can't say for sure though.

Great stuff! Thank you! Almost as good as the final released song! Everyone will remember the "dit-dit" beautifully described by Baxterbather below was continued by the Rolling Stones in "Under My Thumb".

@HighFlyinByrd it's a beach boys/LA nod. usually either just two notes (a mid-high note and its octave on a different string) or a very spartan chord way up the neck. It still sounds fresh here; "don't worry baby" had just been released. notice it doesn't change except during the part where the end of a stanza would be. this way it implies a dramatic lift without delivering one and re-enforces the back-beat as well, making a folk ballad a swinging bach pop archetype. designed for dancing.

@HIghFlyinByrd I think so it´s the 6-string of David Crosby.
