So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

6 to 12

Post by Ranting Thespian »

I was just thinking, there are some 12 string dmb songs that I think sound better with a 6, and some that are 6 that sound better as twelve. Thought I'd ask you guys what your thoughts are.

I think Bartender sounds better on the 6 string, expecially solo. I also think that SUAD is better on a 6.

I do like Spoon on 12, and I think Nancies would be kewl on 12. I also think 2 Step would sound great on a 12.

Two Step twelve sounds great, I played it at a local guitar store for the owner and he liked it. I didn't actually play it "for him" but he heard and said it sounded great. So yea!

They ought to bring back the last stop on a 12 like in the old D&T tours. Watchtower would have twice the power it already has on a 12.

i think pig would sound cool on a 12. crush might. spoon definitely does sound good on a 12, atleast on mine. i love Let You Down, that could sound cool with more strings. And as much as i cant stand Crash into me... well, i think it would bring more out of it if it was played on a 12 string.

and yeah... two step and watchtower would both rock on a 12!

Too much on a 12 burns the hell out of your fingers, but sounds really trippy and funky. If you can slam those fills in there.
