clarence white

love all line ups of the byrds , john york and mcguinn harmonise great, more previlant here than ballad of easy rider, wish john woud have stayed, but i like skip, im confused, have to go .

me too i loved this line up of the byrds,,saw them live in 1970/music hall in cleveland ohio..and...elton john opened for them!! (as it should have been) they smoked elton good they did...

Actually Gene Parsons invneted the Bender. Clarence played the holy snot out of it...

The Byrds - 1968-"Sweetheart Of The Rodeo"-is awesome album!!!
C.White invented the B-Bender device. This device raises the b (second) string of the guitar a whole step by the use of pulleys and levers attached to the upper strap knob and the second string on the guitar. It is activated by pushing down on the neck, and produces a "pedal steel" type sound. White play 1954 Fender Telecaster with the prototype B-Bender.

Better make that September '68....

This was on Hef's PAD (Playboy After Dark) TV show, early '68.

I'm guessin' from all the "groovey" dancers and surrealistic set, this may have been the old Playboy/Hugh Hefner
show??Cool Clarence White Solo! Man.. for a guy who pretty came out of the Bluegrass world, he sure turned into an AWEsome electric player, didn't he? Some people knock this later version of the Byrds..but I think they were great!!

Great Great song!!!!!

What a groovy psychedelic solo in the second song by Clarence-

this is great
