hi all.
I know David Hodge's answer to this thread "all of them"....but seriously can anyone give a few songs that really sound good on 12 string guitar.
Apologies if this has been asked before. I have just taken delivery of a 12 string and want to give it a workout!
Thanks in advance for any replies
