I just got through learning 5D. It was harder than I thought to learn.

In my old Byrds band I used to play bass and sing lead on that one.

This youtube is worth a listen if you have the time -- Chris Hillman at US Library of Congress speaking about his life, career, different musical and other influences, bands he's been in, etc.

It's about an hour long with a 20 minute Q&A at the end.
