    the guitar i began my journey with was my brother in law's 12 string ricky from the 60's. i used to play it when he wasn't home. i was sooo careful with it. one day he said to me " save up$300 and i will help you pick a good first guitar. i know you've been playing mine for a while now, you should get your own." i asked him how he knew i was playing his guitar. he said "every time i take it out of the case it's spotless clean, and in tune." that was 1982

    3:41 Huey Lewis’s undisputed masterpiece. The song’s so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics, but they should because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

    I just finished modding a 12 String for my daughter. She and her husband have a metal band and I'm hoping they can put it into use in their gigs for a meaty sound.
    I'm also hoping that someday she and I (and my Danoelectric 12) can duet on the Byrd's "Turn, Turn Turn".

  • @alarimbaud3155
    @alarimbaud3155 Před 5 lety +1

    The T. Rex nod made me happy. Though as much as I love 12 strings (my main guitar is a 12 string, The Church is one of my favorite bands, etc...), I'd say Bolan's playing style is probably one of the few exceptions where it doesn't sound better on a 12. His style was so rhythmic, the chorusy warble/frequency clusterfuck (in a glorious way) of a 12 string kinda gets in the way of that.

  • @Cactusruss1
    @Cactusruss1 Před 5 lety

    I have a Gibson 1975ish acoustic 12 string that I love to play. It is missing a few key elements from being authenticated, like the neck stock plate and the paper sticker they used to glue inside the body that gives the serial number and such, but it plays amazing. I am sure it would be worth a lot to someone interested, but just can't bring myself to offer it on ebay or other sites and would never consider turning it into an electric hybrid. But loved your video of how some things just sound better on a 12 string as opposed to the traditional 6 string riffs. Nice Job!!

  • @OKaFee
    @OKaFee Před 3 lety +1

    Great list. I think 12 strings really shine with the arpeggiated chords (like Run To You). I think Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies would sound awesome on a 12.
