Classic Roger McGuinn and his 12 strings.
this is the best thing I've ever watched of all this stuff on Groove.com and I've watched a lot. It's worth it alone to hear Roger talk about his guitars, play a few famous riff and teach us how to change strings and adjust the guitar. It's from the 90s -- and he ends by saying he's always around "on the World Wide Web."

Love 12-string -
Was cool to learn how Rickenbacker switch order of pairs, why the model in my Variax seemed off. I have a 12-string acoustic and it never occurred to me that's how the Byrd's got that sound. Thanks Great performance of the couple songs, Best homespun I've watched.

An Oldie but Goodie!
It was interesting to hear his insights into the Ric 12-string. I have also shied away from them for the very reason he describes and it was great to see how he dealt with their very narrow fretboards. It was also interesting to see his banjo-like picking techniques .
