Great Songs For 12 String? Opinions Please!
I recently received a 12 string acoustic as a gift. Any suggestions for great rock songs to play on this awesome sounding guitar?

There's an easy one.......
![]() Figure out Cripple Creek while you're at it..... Lots of CSNY or Neil Young stuff. Wasted on the way. Down by the river. (was not recorded on a 12 buy sounds great on a 12) Wooden Ships. Lots of Tom Petty stuff. I will sometimes play More than a Feeling by Boston on my 12 string and then deny that I've played it. Really. John

As my other thread indicates, I just picked up a 12 string acoustic. I converted one of my Larrivees to Nashville high-strung tuning and have been gigging it regularly for about a year. My plan is to get the 12 up and running and do everything on that instrument that I've been doing on the high-strung, and then some... should open some new doors, as soloing on a high-strung (other than chordal stuff) sounds kinda wonky, whereas it can be really cool on a 12.
Some cover tunes I've played on high-strung: "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues" - Danny O'Keefe and everybody else "Suspicious Minds" - Elvis "Willin' " - Lowell George "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" - Beatles "She" - Gram Parsons "Holiday Inn" - Elton John "Wild Horses" - Stones And I'd probably play high-strung or 12 on lots of tunes I do on mandolin if I didn't play mando. |
