Very nice..... Good use for that gift.

Good work....stay safe !

There is also a 12 string guru named Gilowitz (?)

Ill see if I can find ya a piece of his work.

Also Adrian Legg is on my list of 12 string.

If ya have time look at Hoopiejohn (one word) on youtube. He’s a vet with great 12 string blues tunes. But he’s different....but well worth the listen.

Will do. Thanks for the information.

I’ve been playing 12-string for years and just a few months ago discovered why I’m always breaking strings. A 12-string is not supposed to be tuned like a regular guitar but a half step down due to the extra pressure on the neck.

Of course when playing with a praise and worship team or a band, you have to be tuned to the keyboards and the other instruments, so the string breaking will continue(unless one wants to use a capo, which I don’t).
