The 12 Greatest 12-String Guitar Riffs

[MaquiladoraIII]

An honourable mention and one of the finest songs of all time: "Turn, Turn, Turn".

[RCSmiths]

I am so grateful to see Rush on this one, especially Closer to the Heart. That is easily one of my favorite 12 String riffs of all time.

[G-dozer]

As someone who was born in the late '60s, you just played my entire life. Joys of tears my friend. If we could only relive. Thank you Tyler!

I was kinda surprised neither "Mr. Tambourine Man" or "Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds didn't make the list.

You and Rick Beato must be doing the same thang.... stick it to the blockers!!!

[wolfkermek]

For acoustics, Diablo's Tristram theme is top tier 12-string playing

AND THE MEN WHO HOLD HIGH PLACES, MUST BE THE ONES WHO START...

[TXDomer]

Substitute Wholehearted by Extreme for Breaking the Girl and I totally agree with the list.

Eastwood is an INCREDIBLE company. So glad to see you show them love! I have their bigger Gretch-esque 12 String in White. AMAZING guitar!

[Justin_Gonsalves]

That's a good headstock design. Haven't seen anything like it

How the hell is there a 12 string riff video without The Byrds.

[tougerunss]

When you realize that you were listening to the video on the Bluetooth speaker in the library while your headsets were on, and then you realize that it wasn’t at a low volume inside your headsets... it was blaring outside.

Thanks for including closer to the heart, you just made all is Rush nerds happy.

Favorite 12-string riff = Smoke on the Water

[gordenscottfan]

SO many great 12 string performances, Gerry and the Pacemakers " It's Gonna Be Alright" was my favorite back in the day...

[MarshallRJacskon]

It's not often that Alice In Chains is brought up by guitarists that know how to play well. Seeing them in this video made me really happy that one of their riffs is a 12 string riff. Thanks for that Tyler and keep making this amazing content ^^

[everettsmith]

Never thought I'd see you do "breaking the girl" by RHCP. That was my jam back in the day. Bravo!!! That little bit just made my whole day. 😢🤯

[JazzGuitarNoob]

Bruh, no Tambourine Man by The Byrds? What are you even doing with your life?

[floridamankyle]

I love that Eastwood 12 string, it looks just like the Charvel Surfcaster, what a beautiful guitar.
