Baldguitardude this is the best tip I have heard for years the scotch also seems to improve the singing and hearing !
thanks guys yep got a bit more practice over the last couple of days and getting a bit more used to it , am loving the sound of it , just finding some easy songs that suit the 12 string now.
Hi everyone sorry haven`t posted on the forum for ages never seem to get time to get onto my computer ! I have been playing around for a couple of years on my acoustic can manage to knock out a few tunes , I have just acquired a 12 string was wondering if there was a way to adapt to a 12 string or is it the same old story of plenty of practice .
thanks

its hard to believe its half a century plus since The Beatles not only changed the music scene but our way of life as well , i know there are many milestones in musical history but to me the Beatles had a big influence in so many ways. One of my earliest memories was hiding behind the sofa with my ancient transistor radio listening to radio luxemberg ( pirate radio station ) waiting for the first play of their new single think it was Lady Madonna , can`t be sure though , and hoping they would play it before i had to go to bed ! The good old days !!
I know its an oldie but the solo in python lee jacksons , in a broken dream , its got a sort of haunting sound that really fits the song , I'm probably the only one old enough to remember it !!
good story all round nice to hear youngsters appreciating good music !
how come bad things always happen together always expensive as well , hope you get sorted soon zurf
Hi noahw welcome to chordie , I found as a beginner if there are a couple of songs that you really know well its a big help when learning them , justin guitar is a good starting place and there `s loads of tutorials on you tube , Good luck !
thanks Norm really appreciate that , just waiting for the security checks to be done the i can give my notice in , can`t wait !!
update on this folks i have been offered a job on the post and i think i am going to take it , my current job is none too safe so its a bit of a gamble whichever i do , At least with the Royal mail there may be further opportunities once you get in .
both sad and interesting de they say all things happen for a reason .
some really interesting comments here , thinking more about it i suppose music is an art form and should be experimented with and not just copied

Think that hits the nail right on the head , also some other comments about if your just playing for yourself it doesn`t really matter how accurate you play the song long as it sounds good to you , thanks everyone .
I have been playing wonderwall by oasis for a while , quite a straightforward song to play , i can get the strumming right ( that is sounds the same as the original ) but when i start too sing i can`t help changing the strumming pattern , it sounds o.k. but do you think it matters that its not quite the same as it should be .
great cover of a great song
thanks guys for all your help , its a hard call to make, but i know whatever i choose i have got the backing of my family which is a great help , if only we had a crystal ball !!
