Very pretty tone. That's a Fender Jaguar right? Are those factory installed pickups?

[highcastle2k7]

i have no idea. all i know was it was a great show.

[KingSoliman]

You're right of course, but I think Browne was actually the session guitarist for Nico's recording of it.

[highcastle2k7]

that's good to know! thanks for the information :)

[highcastle2k7]

i think you're thinking of jackson browne, but nico originally performed it. he didnt dio it til the 70s

[skylinenumber9]

beautiful rendition. and to think that Jackson Browne wrote this song when he was just 16...incredible!

"These Days" is a song written by Jackson Browne. It was first recorded by Nico, with Browne playing guitar on it on her album. later Gregg Allman covered it, and finally Browne himself did. All 3 played it in three distinctly different musical styles.Browne was only 16 years old when he wrote it and had no record contract yet, which is why In the mid-to-late 1960s Browne was pitching his material to various artists and publishing houses to become better known so he might get a contract.

@y3k23k Okay there is always a grey line with this song. I'm sorry you're right. He wrote it, but nico was the first to record it.

@zackamundo22 ur straight up wrong

[zackamundo22]

@y3k23k Jackson browne actually covered it.

@CokeMachineGlo She actually plays a lot of odd old vintage guitars that were knockoffs in the sixties. She tends to play a lot of harmony brand guitars (cheap guitars often sold at sears back in the day!). If you go on ebay and look up harmony, teisco, kay, or kent, you'll find some pretty neat oddball guitars!

Goosebumps. Very good rendition (gladly forgiving the turned around lyrics! lol)

[MANHATTANBEEFMAN]

What planet is that guitar from?

@y3k23k He wrote it when he was 16 years old according to him! Talent!

@CokeMachineGlo She's playing a teisco I believe. Teisco was the company that put out the coolest and strangest ones!
