Mr. Tamborine Man - The Byrds - The Jangle Lives!
A little detail on the music......
Roger McGuinn is no doubt the " King of Jangle" and has played an integral roll in forming modern day pop and folk rock and roll. McGuinn was initially a banjo player. He transformed his banjo skills to the guitar and created the classic jangle sound with his picking style. When he coupled his picking style with a Rickenbacker 12 string guitar, the rock and roll world stopped to listen.There is no other sound on this planet that can compare to Roger McGuinn and a Rickenbacker 12 string guitar. And that is " jangle". I love to jangle! Viva La Jangle!!!!!!
Roger plays on a Rickenbacker 370/12 MapleGlo using a flat pick and two finger picks on the middle and ring finger. He uses the flat pick to note the melody and the finger picks to embellish. In the original recording The Byrds only sang one verse of the song and two choruses.
I'm using a Rickenbacker 360/12 Fireglo and only a flat pick, no finger picks.
I've double tracked the Rick and vocals. To get that sort of etheral sound, I compressed, heavily and then added an echo. The echo, if you're using Audacity was set to 0.1 and 0.1.
Anyway, if anyone wants the tab to this, I'll put it together, however it may take me several days. (I'm not a tab person  ) If you want a video of the picking let me know and I'll post it. ( much easier for me! )
So on to it .......

Thanks guys!
nocat,
The drums are a 1 measure sample from a Beta Monkey collection I have. They are live acoustic drum recordings. I just repeated the measure for the complete tune and edited out that which wasn't needed. The tamborine is the real thing and done as the last track.
As a side note, it took almost 8 hours to get that sound recorded. Very cool.

No sound on the planet other than lcjones chiming away in tribute!
SO GOOD!
Are you using finger picks?
If a tab is too much work, can you just post the basic picking pattern (not the intro, but the roll used throughout the verses)? It would be much appreciated. I do a reasonable "fake" but you've got a lot more going on than I've achieved so far.

Les - that was fantastic!!! 
That song was on my list for doing soon -- but now I'm not sure I can follow yours! Actually, if you remember the coffeehouse recording I posted back in March of me playing it at a wedding in 1989 you'll remember how I did it. I do the full Dylan version and no fancy fingerpicking, just good ol' strummin'. I'll probably do it anyway...
Super job Les. This was better than the original! Do you use Audacity?

Agreed! Great sound Les. I'm partial to the unique twang and clang of the 12 string, but personal bias aside, it was still great. I don't know you can sound so much like so many different singers, and yet you still have your own sound for your original tunes.

Nice! I have always loved that rick 12 sound. You did a great job on the arrangement and performance. I was hooked from the first 12 string lick.
