Boyce & Hart strummed this out on acoustic guitars for the session crew and they came up with the arrangement themselves. They added a lot more to music than they get credit for. 👍👍
It disappears when they add the instruments. I love how much reverb was used back in the 60s! Car radios and stereos back then came with their own reverb in case they didn't use enough on the recording! 😂
Larry is all over the Boyce/Hart produced tracks on the first two Monkees LPs. He was part of Jerry & The Cajuns with Gerry McGee and Billy Lewis. When they joined up with Bobby Hart they became The Candy Store Prophets. The CSP are the backing band on all thr first LP except the two Nesmith cuts. They're also on She and Steppin' Stone from More Of...
A bassist who was part of Wreking Cree said that basses have 4 strings and play few notes. As a bass player since 69, I agree and brother, this bass line proves his point. Very simplistic.
That was really good. Could you put the names of each musician underneath? My guitar teacher once showed me how to do the intro on this song. One relative thought that I sounded like the record. I recall Tommy Boyce singing the song on Nashville Now. Did all four Monkees really sing on this song? Bobby Hart told of taking Micky to get some soup. That helped calm him down for the great vocal. Do you have any Monkees songs where Glen Campbell played? He did lead guitar on Mary, Mary. He and Louie Shelton were both from Arkansas. After first coming to LA, Louie briefly lived with Glen. Years later he produced Glen's former Champs bandmates Seals and Croft.
Louis Shelton once said on a interview that he played his 52 Telecaster directly through a Fender Super Reverb amp. No pedals. (pedals were rare in those days). It sounds like compression was added later. Those old telecasters have a certain twang that the modern ones don't quite have. FYI he also said he used a flat pick and he demonstrated the lick so it is possible to do. It takes patience, practice, and the right gear. It IS doable for sure!
@@hyacinth4368 touch'e ol boy. Although Nesmith wasn't as good as Shelton, he was nonetheless a very accomplished guitar player. The most talented musician of the monkees was Peter Tork no doubt about it. Davy Jones said Micky Dolenz were very talented singers.
@@OscarMoreno-cg1og I disagree ol' man. these untalented musicians do not even come close to the worst player on the planet. listen to what Jimmy Hendrix said about your monkeys

Lou Shelton's guitar tone...it's like the voice of God 👍🙏👍🙏
Sounds like a Tele!
@@JohnWhite-xc3md it is a Tele.
The hi-hat chokes are a brilliant, underrated touch.
Thanks for listing the musicians.

as with any riff song... would it have been a hit without LS riff
I'm a huge fan of B & H!!! HUGE !❤😊
It's surprising how much Breath sound they left in the vocal tracks, nowadays they noise gate, or digitally remove it

Gerry McGee yeah!
The Mole played bass on this! Wow! I always thought it was one of the Wrecking Crew members!
A monstrous player even before Canned Heat 👍🙏👍🙏
@@televinv8062 hell yeah!

I still cant get over how the guy from Canned Heat played bass on all these early Monkee tracks.

Drum and bass tracks sound so dirty by today's standards yet........
It was all so magical. ❤😊

I don’t believe all four monkees sang, it was just for the video. Also I was doing considering Mary, Mary earlier, hopefully in the near future
I understand much of the backup vocals were Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart and Ron Hicklin. There are moments when I can pick out Tommy or Bobby's voices.
9:18 Apparently Micky was so burned out by the bridge all he could sing was Do-de-do-de-doo. With that same facial expression as the upper left.
No one can ever get the guitar part quite right when trying to cover this song
Wanna bet :)
I think most folks think this is played as a hybrid-picked banjo roll. Shelton said they wanted it flatpicked to ensure a bright crisp tone

What's hardest is keeping the drums and tambourine playing at the same time on the drum tracks. Guy must've had a 3rd arm.
Where’d you get the personnel credits from?
Under the video description on the official Monkees channel. I would take them with a grain of salt though
The drummer you have pictured is not Billy Lewis, it is blues drummer Billy Lee Lewis. Just an FYI.
What did you use to make this very good ?

The drums are horrible
well what do you know, these musicians do no look like the monkees.
How unfortunate for them!
