Spoon is a cool 12 string song

Listening to Storytellers right now. It's defiantely a 12 string Dave is playing. When he wrote it with Santana and Carter, I don't know, but when he played it with Tim and/or Santana live, it was a 12.
I've never heard the Storytellers version, but on 3.14.99, when he played with Tim and Santana, he used a 6 string.

Hmmm, maybe he switched somewhere in the tour then. He might have decided, "hey, spoon sounds good on a 12, let's try John the Revelator"

A good choice on his part. I love JTR.

I've tried playing Crash and FTT on 12 String and they sound amazing

Yeah, I tried Crash too and it sounds amazing but it hurts soooo bad after the first chorus.
Thanks for all the song ideas everyone...

For D&T, he plays Wild Horses and For the Beauty of Wynona on a 12 string.

I really highly doubt dave played a 12 string in 93. He was using his Chet (and was setting down the Ovation) and his yamaha. Can you confirm somehow that it's him playing a 12?

yes as a matter of fact i can "confirm" it's him - because just as he goes to play ants marching he says, "there's so many strings on this thing" - plus i can tell the difference in sound between a 6 and 12 string, it isn't that diffcult. please dont talk to me like i'm a moron and you know everything. the date on that show is 5.27.93 - feel free to check it out

ps - the songs i believe he plays on the 12 are - recently, help myself and ants marching

Satellite sounds like poo on my 12er.

I am going to have to try Spoon and Ants Marching. Never thought of that for some reason.

Sorry that you took it that way, I didn't mean it like that. I would never talk to someone like that purposely. All I said was that I doubt it was true, and I wanted more info about it to know if it was true. You gave me no evidence about your idea, and I was asking for it. And you delivered it, and now I want to hear it, and I believe you. Sorry for the confusion.

For some reason, I couldn't get Stone to sound good on my 12. Everytime I have to hit a note on the G string, it sounds funny. It sounded like complete shit to me actually, but maybe I suck. People have put in some good suggestions.

I like LIOG for one. Sounds pretty cool. Also, check out Hello Again on the 12, sounds pretty friggin' sweet.

Has anyone ever tried using a twelve string on top of the baritone in the space between for a second rythm? just a thought, im not really sure how it would sound.
