Rickenbacker 360/12 - A Medley

[@skarloeyexpress4353]

Treating that thing you do like it was a real song got a giggle out of me

[@karmicselling4252]

Once again Liam, love that you are using the Toaster guitar.

[@cliveexton8993]

Totally brilliant! Such virtuoso skills with a fantastic medley. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talents.

[@samburkes7552]

..Agree!! The Beatles,used a,Rick 12-string on a number of their 64-65 songs!! Gheez!!

[@gp3328]

Definitely one of my favorite guitars

[@paulguthrie4857]

THAT sound! It's just as iconic as James Burton!

[@lewistasso8866]

The best of the best. The 360 and especially the 12, have such an iconic sound that is impossible to mistake. That was awesome. That was and still is my dream guitar. It makes me proud to know another generation is keeping music alive.

[@MaithriSanitgun]

Marvelous!

[@johnlemieux1342]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@LeftyPem]

Great pick on the Gigolo Aunts

[@stewartsnape2936]

Great medley ,so many old hits, the Rick really adds a nice sound to the songs

[@thomaspick4123]

Wonderful! Great job! More! Murray Wilson would be proud of your shirt and slacks. JC Penny’s?

[@ChristopherRuthVDO]

Nice playing. (Connecticut, yay!)

[@BigStar303]

Very chuffed to see so many great 60s songs from someone who appears to be so young. You've really done your homework! I especially loved seeing "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Friends of Mine." And the artists in the 1980s-90s block were the ones who got me through those decades when there was little else to love. Well done! If you'll permit me just one correction...the "Substitute" riff is played xx0775 xx0232 xx0655 xx0433 xx0232 This is per Pete Townshend himself, who wrote a personal note in a collection of Who sheet music on this song's page and said "There's been a lot of controversy over this...but here is how I played it."

[@tomcarl8021]

Fantastic job!!!

[@rd5081]

Thank you, sir, for providing a refreshing inspiring rerun through times a bit ago and a bit forgotten… Awesome job… I’m going to get my 360 out tonight‼️

[@lobstervortex]

an excellent and well played selection!

[@nandokinks]

Wow... that's a awesome medley, my friend!!! "Outside Chance" by The Turtles is one my favorites!!! You rock, mate!!!

[@michaelwolf6424]

Liam, you're a fabulous player. I've loved "Rickys" ever since I heard George Harrison and John Lennon with the Beatles followed closely by Roger McGuin and the Byrds. That sound is simply one of the best in guitar music. . ,ever. Btw, there's a band out of the ''80s called the SMITHEREENS. Their lead guitarist used a Reickenbacker 360 for the majority of their work. He was very distinctive. You may wish to check them out. Thanks for sharing this. My compliments.

[@robsol123]

Brilliant

[@TooLooze]

Great melodies and love the Beach Boys shirt.

[@NDFlyFisher]

Wonderful. I really want a Rickenbacker 360/12.

That was awesome

Enjoyed the video! Thanks for touching on Dino, Desi & Billy. Many of their songs had Ric all over it. Thanks for posting!

Nice! And the Vox behind you!

Excellent!

DAAAAYUUM...!!!! 😮Most amazing thing I've ever heard on KZbin 😊 I love EVERY SONG!!!!!! I'm a professional musician btw, also great technique and tone my friend!

'Last Train to Clarksville' was a Tele,,,but wow, thanks,

[@joezot8175]

Cool!

[@coolcarsfan1414]

Very nice

[@Bellmore1395]

The early Primal Scream stuff has a lot of great Rick 12 string riffs. Listen to the album Sonic Flower Groove, specifically the song “Gentle Tuesday”

[@kenzosuzukii]

Amazing skills brother! I also love the beautiful sound quality Also is that Connecticut flag in the back?!? Are you from Connecticut too? 😁

[@blakemcnamara9105]

You should do a whole cover of There She Goes.

[@karmicselling4252]

"There She Goes" by The Las did not feature any Rickenbacker guitars. Most sources suggest the main riff was played on a Gibson ES-355. However, the song would probably sound great played on a Rickenbacker 12 string or any 12 string for that matter.

[@ianbartle456]

@@karmicselling4252 Yes all true - Possibly one of the great pieces of jangle pop NOT to be recorded on the RIC 12. When SNTR covered it, I think they went with a '66 Fender 12 with distinctive hockey stick neck end - which I believe was also used on their other hit, Kiss Me. Both good tunes which feature that rare Fender in the videos. Those 66's are worth about US$6000 so they've aged pretty well in terms of collectability. To be fair, I'd likely get a smoother effect myself on a ES-355! Sounds totally good enough. It's a pretty tough riff to bang out on a RIC 12 with a 100% clean n clear tone, with no bum notes at all. Lotsa practice needed to really nail it down to recording standard.

[@rockokirock5789]

いい音です✨

[@Mudd1]

love it

[@MickaelBeaulieu]

Super ! Do you use flatwound or roundwound strings ?

[@LiamEnea]

Roundwound! Though I am very curious to try flatwounds

[@MickaelBeaulieu]

@@LiamEnea try it one day with high compression ! I use that

[@vicentesl4244]

Great! 😎👌🏻

[@AlexG-ok1zc]

Thanks for this video, I loved this. How do toasters compare to the hi gains pickups? The toasters sounded great on the 60s tunes

[@LiamEnea]

Thank you so much, man! I think the toasters have more high range but I have noticed they can be a bit quiet compared to hi gains

[@beatlesfan2884]

@@LiamEnea You forgot Under Pressure by Queen

I dedicated two separate videos to The Beatles and The Byrds! Beatles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJDSZGiZr5ZknMU Byrds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nLk5ieeb1ln8k

[@ottoaltobelli4757]

Great stuff, but you failed to highlight the group that really put the Ric 12 string on the map, The Byrds and Roger McGuinn

[@sampopkin]

Brilliant! What amp are you using

[@LiamEnea]

Thank you so much, Sam!! A Fender Super Champ X2 and a pile of effects in the DAW😂

[@patrickbuzzo1970]

I thought that the Herman's Hermits were using a banjo for " Mrs.Brown " ....

[@BigStar303]

Actually a standard guitar, but with the strings muffled, most likely by Keith Hopwood's palm.

[@emillattmann5282]

Great medley, but i can't believe that you forget or do you wan't play some BEATLES SONGS!!!! ex: WORDS OF LOVE

[@LiamEnea]

I dedicated a whole Rick video to the Beatles and another one for the Byrds!

[@tedgeldberg6498]

How could you not include even one song from the greatest Ric 12 string player of all time, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds. Mr. Tambourine Man which changed the course of rock history or Turn! Turn! Turn!, both of which were Billboard #1 hits, or 8 Miles High, a landmark song that ushered in psychedelic rock, all three should have made this medley instead of some of the mediocre songs that were included.

[@LiamEnea]

I have two medley videos like these dedicated to McGuinn and Harrison on my channel!! Their contributions to the sound are so enormous they got their own videos :)

[@tedgeldberg6498]

@@LiamEnea thank you, I'll look for them.

[@lynnglidewell7367]

Nice cross section of tunes.

[@ManWithNoExpression]

I've been meaning to start doing some Jefferson Airplane covers, I read a quote from Jorma that he used a Guild Thunderbird on the first 2 albums, so I've got the right combo of the Rick and Guild, Paul Kantner doesn't get enough recognition for his Rick 12 parts. Also I appreciated the inclusion of the There She Goes by the La's. I had gotten into Sixpence None The Richer at one point and had read the guitarist was heavily influenced into getting a 12-string by The Sundays. They've got some really cool 12-string parts on their first album like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZrPdaWqesykrrM Edit: Upon further inspection that might actually just be a chorus pedal haha, but he had me fooled

[@LiamEnea]

Love this information man! Thank you!

[@perlaursen1885]

Please Make a video only of the who numbers. Your arrangments are even better than the originals.

[@jopashnik1100]

❤️❤️❤️

[@cball1951]

how bout maybe the first pop song with a 12 string? "and then he kissed me"...was there an earlier song?

[@meanmrmustard9163]

No CCR?

[@myonlylittleboy]

Hello great video, what gauge strings are you using Thankyou

[@tkkwilb1961]

Byrds?

[@LiamEnea]

In its own video my friend!

[@Thesupermuse04]

Song on intro?

[@hippojuice23]

I guess the Byrds were just too obvious?

[@LiamEnea]

In another video mate!

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

Yes Byrds definitely rikenbacker signature sound but it was the 12 string guitar

[@cball1951]

i think you would get a fuller sound but still have the jangle with both pickups.

[@thierrycodera1828]

And the Beatles ???????????????????

[@leobender2910]

Yes, they definitely were a band.

[@Johnny-s7y]

Really, not 1 Beatles song?
