Rickenbacker should pay you a commission, your video pushed me to buy one. These guitars are so well made and much more versatile as your video proves. Nice playing. Beautiful guitar.
I could’ve had the only left handed 650D Dakota Ric I’ve ever seen 7-8 years ago for around $680-700 always kick myself for that. I’m very fucking dumb.
Well, yeah...but that's really the only reason to try to do this in the first place, isn't it...to impress people. It's well-known that the original was George and Paul each playing a harmonized single-note riff. As is very clearly demonstrated here, it's impossible to play both parts of "And Your Bird Can Sing" on one guitar with any degree of smoothness. So, nice effort and all, but the results really speak for themselves…begging the question, why bother? No shade intended toward the player here, who does a fine job on all the other tunes. For what it's worth, I bought my previously owned 1966 Rick 365 Fireglo in 1975 for $170. It is the ONLY electric guitar I've played from that day to this. It has a lot of miles on it, and I've played in many different genres. I can't possibly imagine playing any other guitar.
@@-trixiespumpkins3846 Well, Trixie, I'm sure posting your comment gave you that little thrill of self-importance and imagined hipness that is so important to you. How about if we check back in 15 years or so, when all of the non-guitar artists you think are such hot stuff now will be thoroughly and utterly forgotten in the annals of popular music history…while the guitar-based artists you disdain will continue to be acknowledged as the foundation of and most important contributors to that history. You up for it?
@@faketaxi25 I think he's a big enough boy to take it. Meanwhile, if you find fault with what I've posted about "And Your Bird Can Sing," how about if you tell us *specifically* why what I said was wrong? Seems that's beyond your capabilities. I get a big kick out of those who post "lmao" and go on to imagine they've emerged victorious in a battle of wits - when in fact they've shown up unarmed.
Rickenbackers are great and far more versatile than you think. I have a 330 and 620 and they are my go to guitars. I never though I’d hear Black Shuck played on one! Great job!
Wow! This is the best Ricky tone I have seen in a long time.. no doubt its 90% the player and then gear. What are you playing through? Great tasty choice of songs here. thank you for sharing.
iInow own 3 of them...im a rhythm guy ... singer songwriter...absolutely love them . and I think they are the coolest looking and sounding guitar out there ! I have telecasters as well . but they dont do it for me like my Rickenbackers. Tom Petty ! what more can I say ! REM ? the Who ? the Beatles ? Roger McGuinn ? like what more do you want ?
Would like to hear some Big Star or Cheap Trick. Great choices with "Substitute" and "Black Shuck." That whole Darkness Permission to Land is a riff paradise.
It's a well made instrument. It will do what you make it do, lol. I LOVE Rics. I'm pretty fond of Fenders, Gibsons, Danelectros... Aw hell. I love a good guitar.
Of all the electric guitars ever produced by manufacturers,....The Ric is the closest to that spirit of Rock n roll sound that needs to be heard. That's why Tom Petty's music sounded better with his Ric's. Those Rickie pups are hard to beat.
You’re missing the most important riff: Green River. Try to get the same sound if you can. I know you’re not playing a 325, but those toasters should be up on grommets.
Over the decades, from John Lennon, George Harrison, Pete Townsend, Roger McGuinn, etc, there have been so many classic recordings showcasing the sound of Rickenbacker's Toaster pickups. Though, it has taken me years to properly acknowledge what the Rickenbacker High Output pickups offer, & their worth, I'm now convinced that the High Output pickups are a darn good alternative Rickenbacker pickup. The High Outputs present the famous Rickenbacker chime in spades, but are also a little bit louder and fuller sounding than the Toasters! They seem therefore a little easier than the Toasters to be able to also get that very slight breakup mild distortion overdriven tone with, that has become so popular these days! The High Output pickups are a nice versatile alternative to the Toaster pickup, totally worthy of the Rickenbacker name!
Sounds great. Pete plays Substitute differently at least on the record. He lets the D string ring open on all chords the shapes are a normal D chord, a D like this XXO775 plus XXO655 and XXO433. He draws the boxes by hand in the book A Decade of The Who!
Why is it that this video is reviving my interest in Rickenbacker? Could it be your employment of the overdrive? More people need to do that with semi hollow instruments. It isn’t encouraged.
My guitar isn't a "real" one but an unknown copy that i've loved for 15+ years now, light crunch is a great sound on it, that and clean neck pick up. OK it doesn't really like high gain but it plays nice.
Great video that prooves Ric's are way more than a 1 trick pony! My favorite? 21st. Century Schizoid Man. It still sounds great 45 years later; light years ahead of it's time. I don't know if Fripp ever played a Ric, but he could have...
I am of the opinion, right. or wrong, that a Rick/6 could be used as a substitute for a Telecaster any day. There will be times that it will not work out, but in many instances it will. Ricks are much more versatile than people give them credit.
What you hear is all digital. I mostly use a modeled AC30, cranked or at least edge of break-up. For the King Crimson riff, I used a fuzz pedal in front of the amp.
For most of the riffs it is a modeled AC30 that is cranked way up. The pickups are low output, so you can push the amp pretty far before it starts breaking up.
The sounds are super close, I don't think I could pass a blind test. The body is a bit different, but the overall concept of the guitar is still the same.
Tried Ric's sooo many times.. Love them. But my big hands makes it too hard to play them. (12-string totally impossible).. So I hang on to my Tele's. But, as I said, I love Rickenbacker's..
@@becauseguitarsolos1264 Swedish agent here talked about it, and that he had one previously owned by Tom Petty. But he asked so much money when I asked about it, I didn't go to his shop to see it. Would kill my wallet.. 🥴
@@pahogberg9347 If Tom Petty sold it, it couldn't have been that good. Better get a nice Tele and have money left to spend on the finer things in life.
@@becauseguitarsolos1264 I have four Tele's.. And a while ago I bought a Guild Jetstar just for the looks (mostly nostalgic reason for that since I had one when I was young).. But Tele is my "go to" axe. It can do everything anyway, so.. The rest is just "like" and "want one".. 😉

Shows how versatile a Ric is in the right hands
Agreed
What? No left hand models available?
Rickenbakers deserve more love, they really do lovely guitars
In my opinion, there is simply no substitute for a Rick. Like you said, yea they jangle, but they have an extremely underrated crunch tone.
I couldn't agree more. I don't play,but as an avid music fan I love the sound of a Rickenbacker🎸🎶 Definitely my favorite guitar brand💜🎶🎸
Telecaster closest substitute
They are Sears guitars man
Overpriced POS!
I had a 12, same color. Sold it. I needs another one.
The 360. Still my dream guitar. "And Your Bird Can Sing" was the best on the list!!
Thank you!
When your prized possesions, start to wear you down, buy a Ric.
@@markdinkel-uh2je play in our direction. We'll be 'round!
Such a bad a$$ rocker.love it
Dude that Beatles riff was seriously impressive. Playing both parts is hard as hell.
Thanks man! I love Josh Turner's cover: ua-cam.com/video/TPAtGpU_xY8/v-deo.html The ease with which he plays it just shows his caliber. Untouchable.
This guy can freaking shred!
I'll second that.

Enjoy! And thank you!
And Your Bird Can Sing was great!! Fantastic all around!
Thank you!
For once, not usual riffs, and it's very refreshing. Thanks for that. Love the sound of that baby!
Thank you!
Just great selection of riffs, playing, and gear! Love that Ricky sound.
Well done!
Thank you!
I've always wanted one. Not because anybody specific played one. They just look cool as hell! They give off classic car vibes.
I could’ve had the only left handed 650D Dakota Ric I’ve ever seen 7-8 years ago for around $680-700 always kick myself for that. I’m very fucking dumb.
Deutches technology 😅
I’m impressed you managed to pull off both George and Paul’s parts on one guitar. 👍

That has done more to sell a Rick since The Jam . Thanks for reminding me
Haha, happy to hear that. I featured "In the city" in the follow-up video: ua-cam.com/video/2zXikhhKtK4/v-deo.html 3:58
I like Rick guitar because it's not super heavy but sounds very classic rock and it's great.
very nice!
Really great in the pocket playing. Well done!
Rickenbackers are great and far more versatile than you think. I have a 330 and 620 and they are my go to guitars. I never though I’d hear Black Shuck played on one! Great job!
Thank you! Black shuck is the first thing I try on any guitar.
Great video. Love the range you went, its not your typical blues riff or metal and no inbetween. Subscribed
Thank you!
Was on the edge of buying a Rick, saw this video, and bought two!
😂😂😂
More King Crimson!! Maybe Fripp could be persuaded to play a Rick, great playing!
Really nice selection, performance and demonstration ! Wish I had a Rickenbacker now .
Thanks for the riffs! I just played along on my Rick and it was a blast!
I'd love to see more nirvana on the Rickenbacker!!!! it's such an interesting idea, maybe some bleach or in utero stuff?
Yes! I want it too!
was about to comment that!
I love your playing. Fantastic
Thank you!
". . . in the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you." ❤
Nicely done. Funny that during the My Sharona, i could only think of weird Al's My Balogna....
Great tone, man! Love it!
Wow! This is the best Ricky tone I have seen in a long time.. no doubt its 90% the player and then gear. What are you playing through? Great tasty choice of songs here. thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot! The gear is mostly a modeled AC30, cranked up high.
The man can sure dial in tones, many of those songs were done on other guitars yet he got the sound pretty darn down on the Rick.
I saw King's X in the early 2000s and to this day they are some of the heaviest live riffs I've ever seen played. Great choice of tunes here.
Caught them on the Dogman tour, just incredible.

Nothing will ever beat the sound of a Rickenbacker guitar ever ever❤
Except it's price
Awesome covers with awesome guitar to go with it! Adding this guitar to the wishlist of guitars I'd want to own. 🤘🏻
Thank you!

Amazing sound. I'd really wanted to hear an REM riff!
Magnifique Guitare
Take a listen to Johnny A's version of "And your Bird Can Sing" if you want to hear amazing!
One of those lucky souls who owns one of these...I dream.
Really impressive. Definitely made an impression for rocking with the right amp and player. Nice playing Sir.
Thank you!
Nice playing, although I’m more a Gibson LP man, I like Rickenbackers, they have a good twang to them.
I love the LP, it's a legend for good reasons. Rock on!
I prefer Les Pauls but Ricks would definitely be my second choice.
Essa guitarra é linda!
Soundgarden? cool man
Word
Pride & glory !!!
Hell yeah
Bohemian like you sounds like Brown Sugar
It's the open G tuning. Instant Keith.
Great selection! However I was hoping you might play something from R.E.M. - since the 360 was Peter Buck’s main guitar.
Coming up in a video soon!
Excellent!! I guess I always expect some R.E.M., The Smiths, or the Byrds with a Rickenbacker.
Thank you, and I've noted the requests. There will be a follow-up soon.
I still love Paul Weller's playing in The Jam, totally got away from the jangle!
@@johnbarry1965surprised no one else has mentioned Weller in the comments TBH, he did more for the Rickenbacker as a non-jangle guitar than most! 💥
Ah, if only someone had gifted or lent Lee Mavers a Rickenbacker 12 string while he was writing "There She Goes".
Amen, brother.
Nirvana sounds amazing on a Rickenbacker
pride and glory!!!
Hell yeah!

My Wave and On a Plain were tracked on a Rick? What?
Shhhh... it's a secret.
@@becauseguitarsolos1264 So no?
@@jsullivan2112 I'm pretty sure that no Rickenbackers were involved, but you never know. 😎
If i had the money id buy one in a heartbeat
The Jam were great supporters of Rickies. Some cracking tunes from Weller and Foxton on these beautiful guitars
Absolutely, Weller proved the Rickenbacker is an absolute weapon 💥

Oh yeah. Open G tuning gives you instant Keith vibes.
gratuluję umiejętności, no i oczywiście gitary- bardzo ładna, ale dla mnie RICK=toaster pickup
Saw King crimson in I think 1973. Indianapolis. Can't remember if Greg Lake was with them.
The sweet sound of the 360 echos in my mind.
ANY TAB FOR THOSERICENBACKER RIFFS BEING DEMONSTRATED?
I’m not seeing much reason to not get one…. Help me
Wasn't expecting the King Crimson! Thanks for reminding me about them.
Steely Dan!!!!!! yuuuuuuhoooooo!!!
Nothing like the Dan.
Save the best till last ;)
Haha, true!
Ahaha, putting Bohemian Like You and Brown Sugar in the same tribute video xD 👍
Brothers from another mother, I guess 😅

Sounds great🎸🎶💜
Nice job but you should have had a Smithereens riff in there somewhere.
Never imagined I'd see someone use a Rickenbacker to play Brown Sugar.
I'm collecting requests for the next Rickenbacker sequel, so thanks for the Smithereens!
No R.E.M.?
Fair point. I'm collecting ideas for a follow-up, so stay tuned.
Liked and subscribed! Great choices.
😊 🎸
What would a rick sound like if it was acoustic.
so good!
Brown sugar is too difficult !
I just ordered a Ricke 360. new played one but I appreciate the versatility. I'll let you know in 6 -12 months.
Enjoy!
You forgot "waters part by lets active" 😢 but otherwise this is amazing! Thank you
Man, I've been sleeping on lets active! Thanks!
Excellent picking technique. You have really strong and accurate upstrokes. Always been a major weakness in my playing. Im jealous.
Thanks a lot!
Have you ever had a chance to play on a 330 ? How does it compare sound wise to the 360 ? Seems to be same pickups and slightly different body.
The sounds are super close, I don't think I could pass a blind test. The body is a bit different, but the overall concept of the guitar is still the same.
