Teddy bear cat
Absolutely! He’s round and plushy and loves to be held and loved. He’s a blast!
Having grown up in the 60’s and early 70’s, I always feel a sense of nostalgia whenever ever I hear a RIC! Great memories!
Me too! That sound, that beautiful jangly sound has such a potent Proustian element to it. You’re right, it does conjure great memories!
EJ needs to eat a few steaks sheesh
The drummer slept...
4:05 Drummer: "Finally !"
lol!
Wherever it is you'll be playing for St Patrick's Day, it will be a blast.
Thanks, Robert!! You know I’ll do my best to deliver the goods!😻😻😻🎸🎸🎸☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
What a great take on this beautiful song!
Thank you so much!! I love this song and it’s always a challenge to sing.
I love the way you made this your own! Awesome! One of my favorite Bill Withers songs!
Thanks, Karen! It’s one of my favorites, too!😻😻😻
😻😻😻@@coqueross
Nashville tuning sounds great on any guitar. Nice to blend with regular tuned guitar.
True dat! I love the way they sound against a track with another clean guitar.
Keep making that beautiful music brotha! Mad chills…
Outstanding! Will do, bro! I’m thrilled you liked the song!!😺😺😺🎸🎸🎸
This song makes me smile! It's a beautifully written, beautifully sung sweet, tender love song. I'm so happy that you found your forever love❣️ Happy Valentine's Day, Cōque and Brenda😻🩷😻❤️😻💗
Thank you so much, Karen! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the song. Your praise is so touching and I really, really appreciate your kindness and insights on my writing and performing mean so much to me. Thank you so much!

Diggin' your rendition. Guitar work is very nice. Great cover👍🏾
Wow! Thank you so much!!

Thank you very much! I’m so glad you dig it!!!
Rickenbacker
Just a terrific Gene Clark song. The Gene Clark songs on the first Byrds album are among the best ‘60s songs
Absolutely! And, it’s such a fun song to sing!
Absolutely no lie.
Awesome
Thanks, bro!
Could this become a Sea Shanty?? Hmmmmm
I suppose you could make it into one. It's an old traditional song (from what I've learned it has been claimed both by Ireland and Scotland) often played at the end of an evening or at a wake/funeral to celebrate the end of a life well-lived. In any case, I've always thought it to be such a beautiful and haunting song.
Love this Coque and Brenda! Chuck and I really enjoyed it! Makes us miss you guys all the more!🥲
Hey Marty! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We miss you guys, too!
Thanks! After living in the flatlands of Florida for most of my life, I find them intriguing and beautiful. I miss the ocean and the gorgeous Florida beaches, but the mountains offer the promise of new adventures, too. 😺⛰️🌄
The mountains suit you and Brenda quite well, Coque!! 😺
Of all. I love them all..but Glorious You, struck me. Right in the heart. ❤ Wow .. 😊💓
Thanks, Sandy! I love that song. I’m very proud of having written it and it means so much to me. I’m so happy you enjoyed it, too!! Thank you again, my friend.
This is Johns Friend Brittny we sent you kombucha ❤ beautiful voice God bless
Hey Brittny! Merry Christmas! Your daughter is gorgeous! Thank you so much for your kind words - and the Kombucha!! 😻😻😻
Merry Christmas to you too. Keep singing. Would love to do a duet with you sometime. Let me know if you need anything else we will send it right away. Talk soon😊
From one kid , from 1 to 92 This kid is 54 , 2 days older than you For 44 years after meeting , all we've been through.... Much love and Merry Christmas. From the Gibson family to you
Man, I appreciate our friendship, my friend! I was just telling a friend in Miami about you this morning! You're a really special part of my life.
I love my brother's voice. Enjoy!
Thanks, sis! Merry Christmas!!
I love my friend's song ...check it out ! Friendship is Like wine.... Grows stronger with age 🙏
I've always loved going through phases of using high strung on an acoustic. never thought to try it on an electric
It’s fun on either. The electric records really well against regular string guitars. Btw, I love your cat profile picture 😻😻😻
@coqueross I bet! A lot of folks looking to get the sound of 12 from a 6 would do well to give this a look & listen before plunking down on a Mosaic or the like. And it shows especially well on a Ric, thanks!
I see I'm your 1st to say hi😃 Thanks for sharing!! I LOVE THIS SONG. Please send more!! Have a safe, blessed Merry Christmas ❣❣
Hi! 😻🎄 Thanks! Me too! It’s arguably my favorite Christmas song. I’m planning a few more videos/songs for the next couple of days. Stay tuned!
I prefer the tone of the strat..
What is Nashville tuning?
It’s actually a misnomer. The guitar is tuned the same but is strung with a set of thin gauge “high tension” strings called a Nashville set. It’s basically all the thin strings from a 12 string on a 6 string. It’s a called a Nashville set because guys from Nashville started buying 12 string sets and using this way many years ago. Now they sell sets called Nashville tuning or high tension sets.
NICE! I have two six-string Rickenbackers and set one of them up Nashville tuning (the other with regular 10s). We then tracked both of them playing the same exact solo. Then we hard-panned the solo so that if you're listening to this song in headphones, it sounds like you're floating in the middle of a 12-string Ric solo. ua-cam.com/video/SpdljMZDs1Y/v-deo.htmlsi=j3fBMHAwB35Buxu2
Also sounds a lot like Tom Petty She's Gonna Listen to Her Heart... I do them in a medley.
Absolutely!
Sounds great, but its Backer not bocker.
Rickenbacker 12 string sales just took a hit! 😀
LOL! Hysterical! I hadn’t thought about it, but you may be right! 😹
Not a chance. Nothing like the full bodied 12 String RIC tone - especially the classic sound with Toaster pickups, the .0047 capacitor, a JangleBox and a Vox AC 30. The 12 is a work of art. The 6 is half of a work of art ;)
@@karmicselling4252As much as this turns my ear for sure, in the long run NOTHING like a 12-string Ric when you want a 12-string Ric. But this does very nicely in a pinch.
I keep a small, travel-size acoustic strung Nashville style. For some reason, it sounds great on Christmas tunes as opposed to standard tuning.
I love that idea! I’m gonna try that, too. ‘Tis the season!!
This has me on needles and pins.
Lol! If I’d known the response I was gonna get to this video I would’ve asked D’Addario to sponsor me! 😹

Wild Horses by the Stones uses a Nashville tuning on one of the guitars. You can find this tuning in some Pink Floyd songs too.
Outstanding. Now that I’m aware of it I’m hearing it on lots of stuff. Alex Lifeson from Rush got some of his killer, shimmery tones by layering in Nashville string guitars, too. It was an eye opener for me; I guess I’m just late to the party!
wow
Cool, huh? I’ve been playing for decades and only leaned about this a couple years ago. 😺
@@coqueross same
Nashville Tuning works great on all 6 String Electric Guitars but it sounds lovely on a Rickenbacker.
Absolutely! For me it was a revelation. I’d really wanted to love the Rickenbacker guitar but despite how cool it was, it never sounded that great to me. The Nashville tuning made me fall in love with that guitar on a whole new level. Now I find it integral to tracking guitars for the songs I write. It adds this lovely, jangly chime to any song and really adds a new layer to each recording.
@@coqueross Now you finally love the Rickenbacker, great for getting that Beatles sound.
Sheesh lotta clunkers but it's still EJ so I'm happy.
Sure there were a few clams here and there, but what do you expect, he plays SOOO many notes!! 😹🎸🎸🎸
hahahahahaahha killer is the 1st degree... i like this song
Thanks! I’m so happy you dig it!! 😻💀🎸
BTW nice song... @@coqueross
Thank you so much!!
It’s like a 12 string set without the lower octaves
Exactly! I’ve been playing guitar for decades and only came across this a couple of years ago. I’m sure lots of other people have heard of this, but it was new to me. I really dig the high strung/Nashville tuning on the Rickenbacker. It seems to compliment its inherent tonal characteristics.
record both on the same part but push one hard left and the other hard right and then listen! @@coqueross
i've thought of nashville tuning as a secret weapon - some would say a cheat - to get that byrdsy 12-string jangle w/o having to have a 12-string electric or the technique to use it effectively. i keep a squire strat hi-strung and just finger pic those cowboy chords. i like how it sounds, regardless of whether there's another guitarist on stage.
Yes! I really dig the sound. I’ve never used it onstage, but I have used it in the studio and the results are magnificent!
I may just join that club. Had a spare MIM Strat I needed to sell to subsidize a dream one that came along, but you got me rethinking that plan :-D
@@roughcutguitars I so agree. I mean, nothing replaces a good 12 string, but it really does give you that vibe and feel - and ion the cheap! I bet it would sound killer on a strat. I bought a set for an acoustic but the Rick sounds so good strung up that way that I haven’t bothered. Let me know how it sounds when you string up the Fender.
@@coqueross Funny thing: I HAVE 3 twelve-strings, one of them a Ricky 660, the others are a Gretsch semi-hollow with the courses switched Ric-style and a Guild acoustic. But this would be fun to have in the back pocket anyway.
@@roughcutguitars totally! Plus, less money on strings, less tuning and it allows you to deliver just the high string strings without the regular ones. It’s a win-win.
"Feel a Whole Lot Better" (The Byrds), right?
yup
Yes!!! Good call! I love that song!
Sure is. A signature song for our local rock band when I was a kid back in the 60's.
Hi-strung tuning is very cool, especially when mixed with other guitars in standard tuning. Chime city there, you sound like a blend of The Byrds and Tom Petty.
Absolutely! It’s such a great sound when mixed j to a recoding with other guitar tracks. It adds that perfect chime and jangle on the top end.
Right???
considering Petty did a cover OF THIS Byrds song, yes... sounds just like both of them. :) I noticed it right away. :)
Promo`SM 🤷
Get to the actual song already...
Hehe. It was such a tease. A good tease, mind you, but it was 4 minutes long! 😹
Couldn't take the "too loud" drums. Killed it for me.
Bummer. My bass player saw them at the Lyric Theater in Stuart, Florida last month and said the bass was way too loud and the kick was overbearing. That’s a drag.
I was at the same show! Roscoe Beck signed the back of the headstock of my EJ Thinline Strat. What a nice guy!
Wow!! So cool!!!
