I can only play half of of course, I own a 6 string guitar.

[henrye]

I love how one of the lyrics for Wanted Dead or Alive is “loaded six string on my back”, yet you need a 12 string to play the song 😂

[NiRo_]

Queen - Love of my Life (Live version)

[shauryabellani]

Congratulations on your upcoming child. You'll be a great father and the coolest dad too. Stay safe and don't worry about taking time off. We'll still be here. Put yourself and your family before us.

Surprised you didn’t include hotel California. Would love to see it.

[lornedey]

Anything by the Byrds is classic 12 string guitar music. Mr. Tamborine Man, I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better, Bells of Rhymney, Turn, Turn, Turn, Chimes of Freedom, Eight Miles High, My Back Pages, etc.

Over The Hills And Far Away - Led Zeppelin🤘🏻

[joshuasalgado]

I play almost exclusively with a 12 string, and I really, really enjoyed this video! It gave me lots of ideas for future songs to learn. thanks!

[ethanlundy]

That Over the Hills and Far Away cover was absolutely brilliant

[krabwater]

Suprised that Suicide Note, pt 1 was included... made me happy

[Lalairu]

12 strings sound like heaven... Stringing tjem must be a pain in the ass though

PD RUSH!!

[geraltzrivii]

I'm really happy you made that video. I think, that many of the acoustic songs are really underrated. Love your compilations <3

Oldie but goodie Rooftop Singers 1963 "walk right in" - - two 12 strings left and right handed

[curtisallred]

I went to a music store on 1/27/2023 and tried a 12-string guitar and I could not get over how bright the tune is. I played one of my favorite Tom Petty songs on it and dang it sounded good. The song I played was I Won't Back Down. A teen girl was standing beside me moving her head to it. I have a black MAESTRO acoustic 6-string guitar that I got for Christmas back in December of 2015.

Hey Karl...I have told so many the same thing...I have an Ibanez Concord that I have had for 46 years and while I consider myself an intermediate player, it makes me sound so much better because of the sound it produces...magic!!!

I learned to play on a 12 string. I sat across from my dad and just followed him on the fretboard. Yeah it was pretty ugly for the first probably 6 months or so because I only played when we were together which was about 2-3 times a month. About a year or so into playing with him he had to quit working because he was getting sicker and sicker from cancer. We ended up playing 4-5 nights a week, sometimes we played every night together. After about a year I wasn't half a step behind him anymore and with both of us on 12 stringers it was pretty cool. Lost him after our usual 6-7 hour jam session. I left him at 2:30 am and he was found at 8am still sitting at the kitchen table right where I left I just started playing again after 22 or 23 years and I wish I wouldn't have ever put it down.... it was just too painful. I still play his 12 string that he gave me one morning after we did an all nighter with his cousin who I always called uncle Paul. Uncle Paul made a couple of records but never got a lucky break. They had been playing together since they were teenagers and Paul could play everything from the banjo - to the steel guitar. Paul could play anything with strings on it.... and yes even a violin. Truly a gifted man. I miss them both everyday when I pickup my 12 stringer and try to play. The years of working in the construction industry really killed my hands. I have carpal tunnel in both hands and I am really struggling with getting my fingers to move independently of each it is really starting to piss me off. I had to change what style of pick I play with due to losing about 40% of my right pointer finger and cutting a saw kerf through the meat of my middle and ring fingers from the night that I broke 3 cardinal rules of working with a table I cannot hardly feel those fingers so I had to get picks that have a rough gripping surface because I cannot feel a smooth one in my hand and all the sudden I will lose it in the sound hole or it will fly out of my hand. I really enjoyed watching someone really getting the amazing sound that a 12 string brings to the party!!! I cannot play a 6 string.... I cannot seem to find he strings LOL
Peace

Also, 'Walk Right In' by the Rooftop Singers, even though it's kind of folky and outdated ( 1963 ) it does have a great 12 string acoustic guitar solo.

[RCSmiths]

I was about to say Stairway to Heaven, but we all know already haha! Great session and showcase man!
