Did Gene Clark actually play any guitar in the Byrds?
Before Hillman arrived, Gene was to have been the rhythm guitar player and Crosby was to have played bass. But David found that playing bass and singing at the same time was rather like rubbing your head in one direction and your stomach in another. Crosby convinced Gene Clark to give up his guitar and play the tambourine. From that point on Gene didn’t play much guitar in the Byrds.
