Here is my cover of The Byrds' version of Bob Dylan's 1965 single "Mr. Tambourine Man!"

I apologize for the poor sound quality, I don't have proper recording equipment, so the good ol' smartphone recording audio will work for now! I also am not very good with McGuinn's "banjo picking" so I used a flatpick but also played the in-between notes. Special thanks to Gary Jacob for all of the helpful videos!

"Perhaps someone else could have listened to the bright guitar lines of the Beatles’ “Ticket To Ride” and to Bob Dylan’s original “Mr. Tambourine Man” and had the idea of somehow combining the two, but neither of those recordings existed when the Byrds’ Roger McGuinn devised his group’s new sound. Newly signed to Columbia Records, the Byrds had access to an early demo version of “Mr. Tambourine Man” even before their label-mate Bob Dylan had had a chance to record it for his own upcoming album.

On January 20, 1965, they entered the studio to record what would become the title track of their debut album and, incidentally, the only Bob Dylan song ever to reach #1 on the U.S. pop charts. Aiming consciously for a vocal style in between Dylan’s and Lennon’s, McGuinn sang lead, with Gene Clark and David Crosby providing the complex harmony that would, along with McGuinn’s jangly electric 12-string Rickenbacker guitar, form the basis of the Byrds’ trademark sound."
