Of course we know that George Harrison's 'If I Needed Someone' from the 'Rubber Soul' LP was heavily inspired by McGuinn's Rickenbacker sound, and was a cool homage to the Byrds. Who knows? Again, as others have pointed out, McGuinn was working out his adaptation and playing on the Rickenbacker 360 12-string guitar on his own- after he, Crosby, and Clark had watched The Beatles in 'A Hard Day's Night' in August 1964, and after The Byrds' were given the actual instruments. until June 14th, 1965, on 'Beatles VI.' I'm sure the Byrds were able to get their hands on original UK Beatle LP's back in the day, in a reasonable time. While it was released on the 'Beatles For Sale' LP in early December 1964 in the UK, it was not released by Capitol in the U.S. The song was mixed to mono () and stereo () shortly afterwards. It's interesting that The Beatles recorded 'Words Of Love' in three takes on. You can't get more similar- no matter which Beatle played what guitar! The song has also been covered by a number of other bands and artists over the years, including the Lightning Seeds, Salt-n-Pepa, and Lutricia McNeal. It was recorded by the Turtles and released as a single at the end of 1968, becoming the group's last big hit in the U.S.

Listen to that Beatles' cover, with its' strong jingle-jangle guitar sound- especially on the break- and then play The Byrds' 'All I Really Want To Do' (recorded ). 'You Showed Me' is a song written by Gene Clark and Jim McGuinn of the Byrds in 1964. You Showed Me (acoustic) The Byrds View All Credits 1 You Showed Me (acoustic) Lyrics You showed me how to do exactly what you do How I fell in love with you Ohh ohh its true, oh I love you You.

There's another song from the same album ('Beatles For Sale,' released in the UK on ) that embodies even more, in my opinion, the 'under development'/future Byrds' sound: their cover of Buddy Holly's 'Words Of Love.' John Lennon plays, according to Robert Fontenot, a Rickenbacker 325 as rhythm guitar, while George Harrison used a Gretsch Tennessean for the lead guitar part. Getting back to your example, 'mrt2,' of 'What You're Doing', I agree with what you said in general. Clark later claimed: 'I knew, I knew, that this was the future.' (Richie Unterberger, TURN!TURN!TURN!. Later, in early '64 on a jukebox in Norfolk, Virginia, he only punched up 'She Loves You' about forty times over the two days he was playing there. David Crosby, in Chicago in early '64, was 'floored' by 'Meet The Beatles,' and 'ate it for breakfast.' Gene Clark, touring in Canada with the New Christy Minstrels in the second half of 1963, heard 'She Loves You' for the first time. Roger McGuinn saw and heard 'She Loves You' on the Jack Paar Show in early January 1964, was so knocked out they he went out and bought 'Meet The Beatles,' listened to it repeatedly, learned all the songs, and started integrating their songs into his acoustic folk sets around Greenwich Village. Tracks 7-10 (of Disc Two) were recorded prior to the formation of The Byrds and are performed by David Crosby with backing musicians Tommy Tedesco (electric guitar), Ray Pohlman (electric bass) and Earl Palmer (drums).As has been pointed out before by others on this forum, and in a number of books, The Byrds were heavily influenced by the early Beatles' music and albums, as individuals before they had even formed the early Jet Set, let alone The Byrds, and well before they even made it out to LA.
