There are so many variations of stringed instruments out there including with the guitar. Be sure to check out Denes new lesson, "12 String SRV", and then post a reply to today's question.
Have you ever played a 12 string acoustic? What are the advantages and disadvantages to them? Did your normal acoustic technique transfer well to the instrument? |

Coincidentially I just played one in a shop this past weekend. Now I want one so bad. It's like a celestial instrument

I have an acoustic Ibanez 12-strings. It sounds great. You can play it like a 6-strings guitar. The main problem is the bending technique since you can't bend each couple of strings at exactly the same pitch. I think it sounds best for strumming and arpeggios sounds. Listend to great Hotel California by The Eagles to hear what I mean
