Thank you for uploading this great demo, especially on that Rickenbacker 12 string - sounds amazing. It also works quite well on an Epiphone Casino (P90). For beginners (like me), I noted down the picking and chords, which someone might find useful (some folk might have different views on the chords used). Intro: Pick D0, D0, D4, G2, D4 Chords: Bm/F#/B7/E/A/D/G/A Verse: Bm/F#/B7/E/A/D Bm/F#/B7/E/A/D/G/A Chorus: D/E/G/Bm/D/E/G/A Verse Chorus Solo: Same as full Intro Chorus
I did see that. You right. I love his style of playing. He's My all time Guitar hero. Ever since I heard the opening lick to MTM on April 14,1965 I was hooked. Never heard anything like it!!!!!!!
The intro is on a six string, too, Gary. I always thought McGuinn used Crosby's Gretsch (which George Harrison was using, too). You can hear McGuinn playing 12-string rhythm throughout which is what you are playing, obvious if you isolate one speaker. There's also a piano in there. The whole song was really unusual for the Byrds because McGuinn wasn't using his old banjo picking style.
Web articles suggest it was either a Gretsch Country Gentlemen (Crosby's) or a blonde Telecaster (McGuinn's - apparently playing HYSHF on a TV show). The intro and rythm parts seems to have a fuller tone than a Telecaster? Update: Recent evidence suggests it was a Gretsch Tennessean. ua-cam.com/video/HyWJom-Uc0w/v-deo.html.
+Gary Jacob Thank you Gary for your precius information.If it's possible I suggest you to give us other lessons of Byrds masterpieces like I Knew I'd Wat You, The World turn all around there, Renaissanc fair,Lady friend,I See you
Purists will hate me; lazy people like me will love this (and actually maybe one or two purists, too if you look at my PS.) If you set a capo at the second fret, all the chords become "basic" non-barre chords: C-Am-E-A-D-G-C C-Am-E-A-D-G-C-F-G Am-Em-Dm-Am Am-Em-F-G (depending on which set of chords you decide you want for the bridge.) PS I wouldn't be at all surprised if they played it with a capo because suddenly, the hammer-on from the third to the fourth note is a piece of cake.

I couldn't agree with you more, he is the main reason why I picked up a guitar and like the entire group, Jimmy is incredibly underrated.
I believe McGuinn played a six string electric on maybe two or three songs. Most notably the solo on Have You Seen Her Face.
There’s footage of McGuinn playing the solo and it’s on a Gretsch
Thanks for another great lesson that I requested. I appreciate it!
“Beautiful...beautiful!”
Sounds great. Thanks.I'm pretty sure that the solo was done on a Gretsch Tennessean (or maybe a Country Gentleman)
@Zacky Dog, you are correct, recent evidence indicates the Tennessean:

thanks for another great lesson!
excellent
I would like a lead lesson to go with this
Guitar God
Johnny, I went back and listened to the track again. In my opinion its A B minor. Thanks for the the input. That's what I'm hearing Johnny

The Gretsch has a capo on it, which indicates at least some of the guitars were recording using a capo.
your rite on that. Thanks for pointing that out to me
Great! Thanks for posting. But what's that contraption at the nut of your Ric? BTW, the Ric sounds great. What amp are you plugged into?
Looks like it’s just a capo
I think he also played 6 String on Its No Use of the MTM record.

He can be seen playing a regular electric guitar during the Byrds version of Hey Joe at the Monterey Pop Festival

I believe the fourth chord in the chorus is wrong, an f sharp minor ,,not a b minor
Its a Capo.
Johnny, I we
Sorry that's an F# major chord. Gary
