@sackorats Thank You For The HD = High Distorcion :D

they may have sounded like they were using eastern instruments but they were not. the 12 string acoustic doubled w dave's octave moves makes for creative psychedelia by using what they got. they always just bashed it out. one of the best songs by the kinks in my opinion.....

what a great video (wish its quality were better)
thanks to everyone for the intelligent comments--I have learned a lot about music, music history, and the videos on youtube are amazing with some great disucssions.
The Kinks are my favorite band of all time, ever since early 70's, and I keep finding more and more to like about them.

Released 7/65 in UK; didn't make Hot 100 in U.S./ on US LP 11/65
12-string gives exotic, Indian sound
Drones go back to 12th C. France; Scottish music also uses drones. Asian. Some infl from "Ticket..." drone, released May '65, recorded Feb. 15. "Heart Full of Soul," June '65, may also have influence
Drums? Latin beat variation; double-hit on snare then tom, other times only single hit on snare followed by double on tom. Light, not heavy.
Who cares when? All good songs! Leave it at that!

One of the greatest songs by one of the greatest groups of all times

They may have used drones, but it wasn't directly indian - the band didn't start consciously using indian influences until George Harrison was introduced to a Sitar mid 65 - by then this song had already been written and recorded. This song was actually written in December 1964 and it was when Ray Davies went to India and listened to the fishermen singing. So if See My Friends had been written before Ticket to Ride had been recorded then how can it have been influenced by Ticket to Ride?
