Ric guitar sound

Perhaps when you think about that signature jangle sound of a Ric guitar, a particular song/recording immediately springs to mind?

For me it is invariably "It Won't Be Wrong", by the Byrds.

(love that track)

For me it is the intro to Ticket To Ride, although I dont even know if that was PLAYED on a Ric or not...but that's the sound I think of.

Mr. Tambourine Man. Period. Makes me smile everytime I hear it, like today shopping at Old Navy.

I find myself thinking: "I've got a piece of that."

Gotta be Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Classic jangle sound, no?

Sorry, I'm not very good with my metal-War Pigs?

Seriously though, I have been trying for two years to get a nice folky version of Paranoid down on my bouzouki. I can hear something in my head-please refrain from any comments-but I just can't quite get it. Of course, I would never go anywhere near this tune with an electric (imagine playing Paranoid with the Jangle et al?) but I'm convinced that I can pull something neat off with my bouzouki. It might be the classic re-mix of the 2000s? Maybe I could find one of those rapper guys that could come over and scratch out Dear Prudence or Savoy Truffle over me playing Paranoid on the bouzouki?

I have to stop, this is just getting too weird...

Opening chord for "A Hard Day's Night".

Sounds like a recording waiting to happen, Bill!

Maybe you could open it with the opening chord from "HDN".

But this is a juxtaposition made in Rick Heaven. Jangle it, man.

Wonder how 'Zorba's Dance' would sound on a Rick 12 string............

Do you mean "Zorba the Greek" by any chance, Ozover50? Dunno if it's the same song or not.
I'm picturing the recording that I know of as recorded by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

That one already has some kinda stringed instrument playing pretty fast parts. zither? bass mandolin? Not sure.

Yes, I do mean Zorba the Greek, Glenn. If my memory serves me (and it usually doesn't!), Zorba's Dance was done on the beach after Alan Bates said to Anthony Quinn..... "Teach me to dance......"

Do you have a Ricky 12, Howard? I think you may have just talked yourself into your next recording project. *grin*

I'd offer up an attempt of my own, but I lack the proper instrument. Of course, if someone here wants to _donate_ one for the cause, well... *whistle*

"Substitute" was the first thing that sprang to mind when I read the thread title.
