I already did part 2, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v-vaYyQZsc8.html stay tuned for part 3! but be warned there might be some controversial choices.
@@DylanPank71 In that case I shall look for it. There is an opening intro for Uncle Elijah by Black Oak Arkansas that I think is three guitars but possibly a 12 and a six string. The rest of the song is meh. But the intro is nice. Some of your songs are not familiar being a kid of the sixties.
I need to do research to confirm that it's a 12 string (and interview or multiple live recordings for example.) you'd be surprised how many supposed "12 string songs" are not actually played 12 strings, (e.g. Needles And Pins, Last Train to Clarksville, Constant Craving).
I'm not completely sure, but I think on old acoustics it was because the thinner string was quieter, so the reasoning is you put the high string first so it gets more force when you're strumming downwards and rings out loud and clearer. On an electric guitar, especially a Rickenbacker, the high strings are likely to be louder, pickups are better at picking up high frequencies so RIC reasoned that it was best to swap, but most electric 12-string manufacturers just stick to the old acoustic arrangement. I don't really think it makes that much difference having played both arrangements on my Danelectro and on my Rickenbacker..
What about The Song Remains The Same by Led Zeppelin??? Or More Than A Feeling By Boston??? Hotel California by the Eagles??? California Dreamin by the Mamas and the Papas??? Pink FLoyd Wish You Were Here???
I heard a song called Gazing in 1966 from Love’s first album. I was immediately reminded of the aforementioned Crystals’ record. To this day, I often place them together on my playlists.
Wow, you referenced Love, they were one of my most played albums in the late 60s. Great songs , two I always liked were A Message to Pretty and No Matter What I Do, and of course their hits Hey Joe and My Little Red Book.😊
@@tjtheedge29 thanks so much for the kind words. The drums are all software, a combination of fully programmed patterns with some additions from the auto drummers you find in GarageBand., mainly for hi-hats, cymbals and fills.
Don't you just love the Dano 12 string? Super lightweight, nice wide fingerboard (unlike the Rics), great sounding lipstick pickups, best intonation on a 12 string bridge with every string individually adjustable. And best of all, the price! You can buy one Ric 12 or 10 Dano 12s... When I got mine at GC it was like $400. I got the one with the F-hole. Great choices of tunes, and well played too!
I looked at all the available 12 strings. I tried two different RICs but didn't like the narrow necks and the price $$$!!! Fender wasn't producing their 12 string at the time. I thought the Danelectro was junk. But I noticed different star guitarists playing them (on UTube) so I took a chance. It turned out to be a very good guitar. Sustains forever, clear and bright.
I recently bought a Casio CZ-101. I also downloaded CZLib which is a free Sysex librarian and it comes with thousands more sounds you can load onto it's internal memory.
I really like the tone of the South Korean Crafter guitar. I have noticed that having the octave string below the main string on a Rick , gives a different attack to the note compared to having the octave string on top like most other 12 strings. I like it.
@@oldbandguyI made the backing tracks myself in GarageBand. Yes it's pretty light, it's made of plywood and fibre board and it's a semi hollow body despite the lack of f holes, so there's not much wood there.
@@DylanPank71 Thanks for the reply! Ya I've been lucky enough to find 2 great deals on used Rick's - a 360/12mg and 360fg . Really enjoy the music here btw, cheers!
Great retro synth stuff - would be right at home in a Miami Vice soundtrack (if Jan Hammer needed a break), but I fail to see what ‘80s synth music has to do with the Carpenters.
