Love the fact that a band that was instrumental to the 60's had soo many great songs that were overlooked !!!

Billy Angus

Diggin' to da' blues...Yeah, baby!!!

Glenn Wheatcroft

Yeah but never on a rock song to completely base a whole song around this chord. Rock takes pretty much everything from other various musical forms and incorporates them

Glenn Wheatcroft

I think he was aiming at that. I'd like to think he was not that bad at playing blues. Maybe he is. It's beginners standard here though. It is a great foundation of groove here, blues harp etc. a complete departure from them, and 12 string is not the weapon of choice to make it smoke. The producer should have stepped in to set him straight. He used 6 string on It's No Use & Seen Her Face so it's not like he couldnt do a competent job.

it's a raised ninth chord and jazz players used it for the better part of the 20th century

To say this mediocre solo resembles Coltrane in anyway is silly. And he's no Michael Bloomfield either.

The riff is a cliche' - can't really be called a rip-off. The difference is the playing and the Byrds are no match for Bloomfield and company. They should have stuck to vocals.

the one dislike should be blinfolded, put up against a wall and shot with LSD for being a traitor to the revolution - P.S. this is a non-violent solution

Jamie Raygun

Fucking right! 1985, bedroom, Mercedes (girl, not the car), 16 years old (me and her). The day of days. Followed by The Cramps.

oh yea man!

This song evolved from the Byrds playing Get out of my life Woman in the studio one day

First Impressions

May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this fine instrumental.

Glenn Wheatcroft

Interesting to know who used this chord first. Harrison or Byrds? It's early '66 so it's a close call. On another note - McGuinn's lead playing is absolutely woeful on this track. Trippy, jazzy Coltrane-like licks on a 12 string (?) in a blues jam just does not work!

FvckIran

Funky...I like.

Jan Freidun Taravosh

really one of their gold moments, it's M. Clarke's first composer credit this one and gene came back for the harmonica part really good

captainsoul1953

Lee Dorsey...Get out my lif woman....but its a good tune...i got my moniker from it Jim

QB Blizzard

the riff is from the 'get off my life woman' tune..

HIghFlyinByrd

This came out in 1966, and as far as a google search can tell me, that came out in 1967. Besides, this has a 12-string guitar in it!
