Guitar as a Textural Device: The Electric 12 String
Рет қаралды 117,409
2 жыл бұрынI like to think about music thematically. Colors, textures, motifs, and moods.
The Electric 12 string guitar is a such a cool device. Angelic, crispy, unpredictable, and slightly unhinged. In this vid, I discuss what I think it's good for and how I approach playing it - it's not quite the same as your trusty 6 string!

Baritone guitar could be an interesting instrument for this series. I know they've become something of a fad recently but they're really great for recording or just for writing - I find if I've written a song on a standard tuning guitar and then try it out on my baritone it lends a very different feel, beyond simply transposing keys

How much lower is your baritone tuned, and how much longer is the scale?
@ericlayton8888 2 жыл бұрын
@@BluegillGreg I made it in millimetres so I think there’s a lot of decimal places in inches - but it’s 680mm scale length (think 25.5” in mm is roughly 648?). Tuned down to B standard, strung with Ernie Ball 72-13s. I generally prefer shorter scale length guitars so made it as short as I thought I could get away with, honestly it doesn’t feel noticeably bigger than my Tele Edit: just checked and in inches the scale length is about 26.78”

Nice. I am currently building a, I was gonna say 12-string Tearcaster since it's something in-between a tele and a Vox teardrop, but when I showed my daughter the body she thought it looked like "a fancy pear", so it's a Pearcaster now. I have green stainer. But I never owned a 12-string before, kind of exited to finish it now.

The best part about an electric twelve is you can really do everything with it. I do use fast chord changes with it, especially if they're open and you keep the same notes droning. I play hot overdriven leads with multiple effects on, sounds like a synth! I do textural drones, the options are endless, and honestly a better creative tool than a six (in my opinion lol).

Representing the prog side of things, I have to mention Mike Rutherford of Genesis. He helped to define Genesis' early sound with his acoustic and electric 12-string work on songs like "Musical Box", "Supper's Ready" and "Cinema Show". Honorable mention also goes to Steve Howe of Yes with his raga-ish riffing on "Awaken", which also includes something Eric will probably hate -- a jaw-dropping solo. He used a Rickenbacker for the recording and 70s live work, although he switched to a Steinberger 12-string at some point in the 1980s. I'm sure the tuning was way more stable, although it did cause the character of the sound to change a bit.

Spent about a year looking into twelve strings, finally got my hands on an old black Greco RG-95 (Ric 360/12c63 clone) and what a dream it is... You're right, picking out individual notes is where these truly shine for sure, but I can't help big strumming the chords to My Sweet Lord every time I pick it up.

The price seemed low (below a new 360), and it was because it's a 12 string, not made obvious on the auction site! While it's fun having a Becker guitar, I've not dived in to figure out the 12 string and what to do with it. This will get me off my butt!

Thank You for the great video. For me 12 string guitars are ALL about the textures. Marty Wilson-Piper was onto this decades ago with The Church. The Danelectro sounds more like a banjo than a guitar to me. But Jim McGuinn played his Rickenbackers with a banjo fingerpicking style so no problem there. A lot of people complain about the thin neck of the 3xx RIC lines. Three ways to easily fix that though. 1/ Modify the nut to widen the string spacing, 2/ Purchase a 3xx RM model or, 3/ Purchase a 6xx RIC 12 instead.
