There is the full version with acoustic guitar? I do not like the electric version. this version is beautiful

[tr3isme]

@eddy72500 "Take Me Away" was originally on Cardiff Rose album as an electric version and a little longer.

[M6A1t6t]

can anyone tell me the name of the first song he's playing at the beginning of the video? i'd really like to try and learn it

[tr3isme]

@M6A1t6t The song is titled: "Take Me Away". About his 1975 bus tour with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez Ramblin Jack Elliott.etc, on Cardiff Rose Album. They called the tour "The Rolling Thunder Revue".

Man..I wish I had been alive in the 60s.

Roger is the man, simply a legend. Him and his distinct voice.

[Perutti1]

Esse cara é bom demais, um dos grandes músicos dos anos 60. Valeu.

[eddy72500]

@tr3isme I really like this version, I have to settle for this movie

[johnbubbanewsdude]

Roger's the real deal from back when talent mattered a whole lot more than gimmicks and a glitzy look. Been enjoying his music since early childhood. Seems like the Byrds have been the soundtrack of my life.

HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND! I'VE COME TO FUCK WITH YOU AGAIN!

[JohnnyNokaster]

Dylan may be a great songwriter but when he sings he sounds like a cat that's had his butt scraped raw with a corn cob and had alcohol and salt poured on it.

@TurgeonFan77132 Martin did make a D12-35 in the 60s and early 70s, which I've seen, but it was a 12-fret sloped shoulder dread with a slotted headstock, pretty different from this one. Apparently David Crosby once had a D-35 converted to 12-string which he gave to Bryan Maclean from LOVE in the mid 60s. But this one clearly was built as a 12-string -- the peghead is the giveaway (a converted 6 would have a shorter peghead). Maybe we need to email Roger. :)

[TurgeonFan77132]

@mtut- Could be an older D-35 perhaps?

[mtut]

@folksinger91 It's a Martin dreadnaught 12-string. I'd have to look at an old catalog to tell you what model number it was (email Martin -- they could tell you at a glance). They made a McGuinn signature 12 for a while and now have a McG signature 7-string (with an octave on only the G). This is very much like a D12-28, only it has a bound fretboard. Maybe from their custom shop? McG also played Guild and Ovation acoustic 12s at various times. The sound was in the man, not the brand.
