Psychedelic
Description
At the peak of the British Invasion, American folk music was working its way into youth culture. Bands shifted from traditional rock 'n' roll subject matter toward social issues & drugs. Guitarists added fuzz to the British sound, creating dreamy, spacious textures. The influences of Free Jazz and Eastern instrumentation were felt as well. Hear Roger McGuinn's Indian-influenced opening guitar in The Byrds' "Eight Miles High," or George Harrison's sitar.
