His rhythm playing in the Byrds is very underrated. Parts like this, Feel a Whole Lot Better, and others are punchy as hell. Perfect Foil for Roger's Ric.
One of the most dynamic chord progressions ever recorded. It literally takes you to the place of the music's choosing and you are just along for the ...flight? Great demonstration, James! Once again and I feel prepared to add it to my set for Family, friends and open mic night only. Lol
The unnamed chord CDGD is a C suspended 2nd (Csus2) if high E is muted Cadd9 is E rings. Since the high E is added on G I suspect the Add9 is right name
I don,t think any body can, including himself, maybe, it was done under the influence, I was 17 when this came out, and I remember my toughts then, who could ever play a solo like this , perhaps it was heavy metal, but we didn,t know then. Anyway , it was Awsome.
Awesome video! The chord you are playing up on the 10th fret G I believe is a GMaj7. ( . '. ) inverted triangle shape. Thanks for the great interpretation.
One can play the opening riff using variations on this chord: E(open B (14) D(12) A(14) D(15) B (open) E (open); just change to 075770 to get the F# note. Works great for acoustic six string.
I have seen this many times; I really (appreciate) enjoy this very much. I am not a Mr. Crosby fan; however this is really relevant guitar craftsmanship. Greetings from Tombstone, AZ
He doesn't play arpeggios during the verses, that is McGuinn's part. Crosby strums through the entire song like during the solo. The only time he picks a single string is the low E in the intro.
As soon as I learned bar chords I started working on this with my guitar instructor...almost 40 years ago. I like what you did with the bar chords B and A on the 10th and 12 frets, he never showed me that. I also like your variation on the Em, F#m, and G. For the lead, I learned the basic notes on the B and E string. Then improvise the rest, it's hard to hear what the Byrds are doing anyway. Just play a bunch of notes on the scale and end with E on the 12 fret of the high E string with hammer ons to F on the 13th fret. If you really want to sound like the Byrds you need a 12 string.
Would it be of merit to 7th out the D in the part where the lyric "stranger" (right after the G) comes in? Or was that action strictly assigned to Crosby's (I think) vocal where that 7th is sung, but may possibly not show up among any of the guitar tracks?
@@jamesjames9275 Who knew Rochester had their own Red Wings. I knew about the George Eastman Museum, Kodak, Xerox, Paycheck and Bausch & Lomb and of course, the University of Rochester Eastman School of Music.
@@jamesjames9275 right on! I knew you lived in roch at one point from previous convo in another lesson. Being a kid going to games from 72 on I watched most every player come through roch on the way to Baltimore. Back then all the kids like Baltimore because of that. Was sad to see them go as the parent. Hard to be an Os fan at this point. Though I am hoping to get tickets when they play the Jay's in Buffalo next month. Anyway...thanks again for all your lessons!
Croz’s rhythm guitar playing is often overlooked because McGuinn’s Ric dominated the mix. Your tutorial gives Croz his well deserved acknowledgement
Man. The tone on this video is spectacular.
All I know is, Crosby had some killer vibes that poured out into his music like no other at times.

..all the great tunes you should already know .... thankful for James James 👍
One of the greatest songs ever...thanks!
Thank you James. This song can be played with the basic chords, but you show the subtleties which really make the difference.
You always have the perfect guitar for the song. Well done!
Crosby played a Grestch on a lot of the Byrds recordings.

Very helpful, top class. I still haven't come across a video of someone explaining McGuinn's leads on this track.

Roger himself...playing the rhythm and lead parts. Make a tab before they pull it.

Another one to try, I told you earlier it's like we grew up listening 🎶 to the same music at the same parties 🥳🎉😌 cheers from Victoria BC Canada 🇨🇦👍😀
You read my mind! I was gonna ask for a Byrds lesson today and here you are!
Fantastic job figuring this out!

I have always like the guitar part on this song!

Go O’s! Sweet Gretsch and great lesson. I’m a Baltimoron as well 😊

This guys a bills fan so he’s alright with me . He has Josh’s jaqs cereal in the background
.. cool Palmer jersey....
I believe the last chord is a tribute to John Coltrane. And that opening Roger bit. Crosby loves Coltrane.
Roxy Music did this one really great live in 82
Yep bryan ferry cover of this song is top notch
Groovy tune, thanks!
Yeah he's a great guitar player. Love his solo bit on the 4 Way Street album.
The opening 3 chords are the same as We’re Going Wrong by Cream.
Yeah, it’s not an uncommon progression in pop music.

Some Byrds! Cool

How did you get that tone.

nice choice
The chord you're playing at the 10th fret is a Gmaj7
Yes, I believe so.
you're hired
chord at 5:34 is a G major 7
Check out Husker Du's version from 1984
From the days when all the kids in Rocheater liked Baltimore and not the Yanks. Is that a palmer Jersey?
I grew up near Baltimore, then moved to Rochester. So I was always an O’s fan and I loved the Red Wings.
@@jamesjames9275 Red Wings are from Detroit, Buffalo Sabers are closer. I figured beside the Buffalo Bills you would like the local hockey team.
@@GaryBook The Rochester Red Wings are pretty close to Rochester, NY. Extremely close.

Thx my friend 🎶😊
Nice lesson!
Any plans for the fast-approaching 100K mark?
I don’t really pay much attention to that stuff, to be honest.
My favorite Byrds song
come on croz ain’t thaaaat bad 😂
he's honest that's one thing I could say after watching that documentary on I'm sure he burned so many bridges but he definitely is one honest person.
Gmaj7
The last chord
