Totally bizarre than anyone even vaguely interested in music can think that the *guitar arrangement* in Dylan's recording of this song has anything to do with the *guitar arrangement* of Nic Jones's recording (as has been suggested in this thread). Nic Jones's guitar style on Penguin Eggs is so unlike anything else I have ever heard on recording or ever in real life. It so often defies description ... so much written about it on online guitar forums is nonsense or wrong. The one person who I have seen say anything enlightening on the matter and who does a great demo and explanation, fascinating to watch, very difficult to imitate, is the guy whose youtube video was already linked upthread. Great job.

Well I looked up the Dylan album. And of course the guitar playing is nothing like Nic Jones's playing. Dylan is a wonderful guitar player and a wonderful singer, but it is hardly realistic that Dylan would go to the extent of learning Nic Jones's unique style of playing the guitar so that he could rip him off for one song.

Thanks anyway from me to the contributors to this thread for this tip off about what looks like a great Dylan album. Not one that Dylan fanatics talk about, maybe they are less into his more mainstream folk work ....
