.... check out the YouTube videos of David Whitt demoing various Byrds' tunes. He does a nice job on the guitar breaks of many Byrds' songs.

His are some of the better Byrds covers I've seen and heard on Youtube.

Although not strictly within the parameters of this distorted thread, here are a couple I play with my band on 12 string.
Wish you were here, Pink Floyd
Wonderwall, Oasis (the intro/main progression)
Computer Games, Mi Sex (the synthy parts)
Down to the waterline, Dire Straits (for no other reason than beefing up the rythym sounds)
I have also played "God Save the Queen"...and I ain't talkin' about the British National Anthem either!

Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and Brain Damage are GREAT on a 12-string!

I'm trying to convince one of the other guys to play the D/A C/G part of CNumb on their 330/12 (I'm not giving the solos up
)

To further mutate the thread;
"Unguarded Moment", by The Church - great crunchy 12 string Rick parts.
