Turn Turn Turn - full version of solo performance by Roger M video free download
Roger McGuinn solo performance of the Byrds hit "Turn Turn Turn". While this is from his instructional video, this video was on his web site for downloading for several months. Try www.homespuntapes.com to order Roger's instructional DVD and see in detail the techniques used in Turn, Turn,Turn and other Byrds classics. Roger's DVD is also available on Amazon.com
Note to Roger McGuinn's fans: YouTube sent me a note explaining that this video may be infringing copyright but no action was required on my part (they have not requested that I remove this video).
Let me make my views clear: I posted this video to increase interest in Roger and possibly increase sales of his instructional DVD for which I provide a link.
Lately there has been a rash of YouTube take-downs of cover performances by amateur musicians, usually initiated by complaints of music publishing companies.
It strikes me as foolish for music publishing companies to force YouTube to remove cover performances of popular songs (the Eagles have been especially heartless about this). These amateur cover performances are actually forms of flattery to the songwriter and the performer; they make not one red cent for the teenager that creates the cover, but they increase interest and buzz for the original song and its creators.
Normally I'd ascribe this heartlessness to greed, but squashing interest in music is going to affect these artists who foster the take-downs in a very negative way. Our copyright and patent system is being abused lately and it only stifles innovation.
Cheers, Jim Lynch

Esta esw la verdadera esencia de la musica, para mi, un solo instrumento , una voz, y todo el sentimiento del mundo, condensado en tres minutos. Nopuede haber mas belleza, ni anhelo mejor conseguido para un musico, que se capaz de transmitir tanto con tan poco artificio. No reniego de mucha musica tan elaborada en los laboratorios, pero ante temas como este solo puedo que quitarme el sombrero y rendir pleitesia8 years ago

Right on, Jim. I make videos of my flower art and use a lot of folk music--lately from concerts I find. Promoting your favorite artists should be encouraged. I've used a lot of tracks from a '78 concert by Roger and Gene doing some new (then) songs and some Byrds hits. The only copyright noise was from the publisher of one of Gene's songs. On another note, I think it's great that Roger has returned to his folk roots and has become a wandering troubadour! He is a genius on that 12-string!9 years ago

I think Roger has de-tuned each string a half a tone lower than standard for this demonstration.9 years ago

James I could not agree more. Never should music be stifled. And yes, covering a song is the highest complement we can make to the original artist Thank you for posting it..9 years ago

I have the full video. Roger is an exceptional guitar player and singer, and was the one who held the group together over the years, from the David Crosby era to the final period with Clarence White. They would have broken up without Roger. As David Crosby once said, the sound of the Rickenbacker 12 is the "signature sound" of the Byrds.9 years ago

The intro and ending progression to this song is perhaps the most powerful hook in contemporary music.9 years ago

There are so many Ric 12's out there models wise. Can anyone recommend to me a (12 string) model to use live that will hold upplay well intonate well etc,,? I read some are hard to play in low fret area and you have to change out the nut as well? all true? thanks.9 years ago

Obviously Roger made this his own song as he did with his arrangement of Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan. Btw: if it's in public domain it's up for grabs. And it's not practical to have the royalties go to a dead end in an unknown abyss somewhere. Also Did you know that in the original Byrds Recording Contract Roger got no royalties from his work with the Byrds- nothing ! - SFA ! So if he gets paid now it's long overdue. He's a Genius. And yes- He deserves to eat and sleep and work in a decent place. Besides, he has a great voice... Now - shutup and play yer Guitar ! 10 years ago

Yes, this is a nice song, but I wonder who wrote it. McGuinn claims "The Cold Coast of Greenland" as his own, when the song dates from the 19th Century. I don't understand how he can claim a song that he didn't write and the lyrics to it, which he didn't write, either. He simply hijacked a song that has been in the public domain for over a hundred years. Is that legal? Can he claim "Lowlands" too, or "Wayfaring Stranger"? Related Videos
