Felder wrote music, plays electric 12 on record doubling part. Live he plays Gibson 12/6 double neck switching between rhythm and lead. Frey played the acoustic 12 rhythm part throughout.
Same era - Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas. Bit later - Bon Jovi - Dead or Alive - what about doing some 12 string reviews and blind comparison?
Nice one, Ben. Love playing my 12. Pink Floyd is a beautiful riff, then changing into the C....Gorgeous track 👍 How about 'Wanted Dead or Alive : Bonjovi', or 'Hole Hearted by Extreme'. They're both firmly in my favourite 12 string track to play
I got my first 12 string when I was 15 (my dad's 70s Hofner acoustic). To this day they're still my absolute favorite guitars to play and definitely shaped my playing style significantly as I use slides vs bends a ton.
Is it just me or is the tuning off just a bit on the last two guitars? Otherwise, really enjoying these best-of segments .. nice! PS. One non-70s riff you might look at is Hole Hearted by Extreme.
Some top work Ben, very enjoyable , i love a 12 string, but don't have one in my armory ....Yet! you have sent me a conundrum, as i am now torn between a 12 , and semi acoustic!
I think this video provides some good starting points for further videos... How about how to record 12 string guitar, combining line out from the guitar and ambient mic placement... Ben is a great addition to the Andertons crew... let's hear some Kottke "ya know ya want to!!"
My Picks 1. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 2. Over the Hills and Far Away - Led Zeppelin 3. Closer to the Heart - Rush (RIP Neil Peart) 4. Love of My Life - Queen 5. Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
A 12 string says much more than a 6 string sometimes. A needed boost in the spirits. Bring back the 12 string nowadays. The Church-Under The Milky Way A modern 12 string song,
Very nice departure from the usual riff stuff. But why not include a Martin? My HD 12-28 has a lot more low end than the guitars you featured, and that's the reason why Gilmour et. al. all played Martins!
Once again, there is reference to the AMP! Or for that matter, the Microphone! It only takes a few seconds of speech, to include info on the AMP, and or MICROPHONE. Are we hearing the guitar, through an Amp, from the onboard pickups? or, as an acoustic guitar, through the Microphone, that is sitting in front of the guitar?
Don Felder had written the riff and played on the album. Glen only played the rhythem on gigs. Even on gigs, Felder played the riff with two arms Gibson Guitar 6/12.
Great tunes Ben and some of my favourites (although I would have added Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel's Come Up and See Me). Although not strictly 1994, there's some great tracks to try on the Page & Plant album No Quarter although you'll have to mess with tunings - DADGAD for No Quarter - Open G for That's The Way and back to Standard for Gallow's Pole. Even better if you have an Ovation 12 string for the latter two :-)
As iconic as Wish You Were Here is, I find myself More and More drawn to Pink Floyd's earlier output. The guitar work on Meddle is absolutely sublime...I think Fearless was originally played on a 12-string. #PinkFloyd #Meddle #DavidGilmour #PsychedelicRock
Daniel Rossen's (from Grizzly Bear) solo album has some excellent 12 string songs. Check out his live performance of "Golden Mile" on KEXP's RUclips channel.
Hotel Cali wasn't quite right, but I'm sure he knows this and probably took a little bit of artistic license and made it his own. I suppose, good to hear an alternate version!
That’s an old studio trick whereby one guitar has an otherwise normal set of strings and the other has the octave strings. The guitar with the octave strings is now called a Nashville-tuned guitar.
Wonder how long this will stay up? Those eagles bastards Fry and Felder, seem to think they are getting screwed out of any royalties and put copyright protests up against anyone that plays their songs on RUclips. Let’s see how long this video stays around...
OK, does that Fender 12 have a strap button right smack dab on the upper bout?...looks terrible. Why why why? And you missed 'Wild Horses' by the way...
You play like a demon Ben. As for suggestions, when doing a video like this, why not tell us which guitar you preferred? To my ears the Faith guitar sounded by far the better.
If anyone wants to get a decent 12 string without spending shit tones of money then go get the Gear4Music one on amazon for £80. Can't recomend it enough will be the best £80 you will ever spend mark my words.
Heart's "Crazy on You", you need an Ovation 12 String. That's almost a video unto itself, Ovation 12 string riffs. Non-1970's, "Dead or Alive" Bon Jovi.
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
The intro to Wish You Were Here always gives me a little chill
Love it! 12-string beauties! Lots of 80's bands played 12-strings as well....
Rush Closer to the Heart should have been included as number 1!
RIP The Professor :'(
I wondered if he would choose that song, it’s a great song but Rush weren’t that big in the UK, so it possibly didn’t even occur to him. :(
I thought it was Don Felder that played the 12 string on Hotel California.
Right you are. Felder wrote the music for Hotel California.
Felder wrote music, plays electric 12 on record doubling part. Live he plays Gibson 12/6 double neck switching between rhythm and lead. Frey played the acoustic 12 rhythm part throughout.
@@richardsears4811 ok. Thanks for the info.
I mentioned this in a separate post. Don Felder said that he played a Takamine 12-string with a DeArmond pickup.
@@richardsears4811 Nice info! Thanks 👍
Supertramp!!! My favorite 😍
Yea, Roger used a jumbo body Guild f-512. Really a beautiful guitar. Also a nice touch with Boston in there…
Same era - Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas. Bit later - Bon Jovi - Dead or Alive - what about doing some 12 string reviews and blind comparison?
I second that request.
Yeah, I'm shopping for the easiest 12 string to play that still has some low note volume as well. Under $2200.
Nice one, Ben. Love playing my 12. Pink Floyd is a beautiful riff, then changing into the C....Gorgeous track 👍 How about 'Wanted Dead or Alive : Bonjovi', or 'Hole Hearted by Extreme'. They're both firmly in my favourite 12 string track to play

Hole Hearted by Extreme has to be there
HC intro 12 string was played by Don Felder, I believe.
Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Life by the Drop" from the unplugged sessions is my favorite 12 string song..
In an interview appearing in Guitar World, Don Felder said that he played the Hotel California intro on a Takamine 12-string with a DeArmond pickup.
Is it just me or is the tuning off just a bit on the last two guitars? Otherwise, really enjoying these best-of segments .. nice! PS. One non-70s riff you might look at is Hole Hearted by Extreme.
The first one was way off couldn't listen more than 2 bars.
Loving the new acoustic material. Keep it coming.
Love this series! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for February
From the 60's--- Hazy Shade of Winter, California Dreamin, When You Walk In The Room.
Some top work Ben, very enjoyable , i love a 12 string, but don't have one in my armory ....Yet! you have sent me a conundrum, as i am now torn between a 12 , and semi acoustic!
Ben you are amazing !

Both the Alvarez sound the best to me especially the AD60 - a very balanced and rich sound.
waited to hear Bowie all the way through loved it
AWESOME! Well Done 🤘🎸🤘
Hole hearted by Extreme.
Just brought my old Eko Ranchero over to Canada with the recent interest in 12 string lately.
My Picks
1. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
2. Over the Hills and Far Away - Led Zeppelin
3. Closer to the Heart - Rush (RIP Neil Peart)
4. Love of My Life - Queen
5. Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Definitely need some Zeppelin in there and OtHaFA is fantastic and one of my fav Zeppelin tunes!
A 12 string says much more than a 6 string sometimes. A needed boost in the spirits. Bring back the 12 string nowadays.
The Church-Under The Milky Way
A modern 12 string song,
Haunting song. Love it.
I think the Faith takes it for me! Nice playing
tangerine? stairway? over the hills? no? just me? okay
Know any Leo Kottke? He used to always play a 12-string (not sure if he still does).
Kottke's old Capital double album "The Best" is some of the best guitar I've ever heard.
-Maggie Mae (which must be included on any list)
-Yes
-Over The Hills And Far Away
-John Denver
-Poco (Crazy Love)
netterstyl what songs by Yes and John Denver did you have in mind?
Very nice departure from the usual riff stuff. But why not include a Martin? My HD 12-28 has a lot more low end than the guitars you featured, and that's the reason why Gilmour et. al. all played Martins!
Wasn’t War Pigs played on a. 12 string acoustic?
Excellent - you did tell me to be have patience!!
would be nice to hear a comparison of differnent buitars to include the thin body; Sands, Godin's etc.
Why do i get the feeling you were thinking of Starman and got the wrong Bowie song.
Beautiful
'39 by Queen, Thrasher by Neil Young are not mentioned a lot
Once again, there is reference to the AMP! Or for that matter, the Microphone! It only takes a few seconds of speech, to include info on the AMP, and or MICROPHONE.

Fantastic riffs! Love the 12 string guitar... I actually have that Fender one! Really awesome guitar, not expensive either :)
The classic wanted dead or alive from bon Jovi has to be one of the best from the 80s......plus Poison with ever rose has its thorn, would be my pics.
Every Rose was on a 6 string
@@steveeckert8396 Nope it was 12 string, you can hear it in the official sound track and anytime you see them play it live.
Ben,
Selection for the 80s:
SRV's Life by the Drop!
Ben -- you only had to ask and you could have borrowed my EKO Ranger 12.... (complete with new Fishman pick up...)
Would love to hear "Back To The Old House" by The Smiths.
The Question by the Moody Blues!!
Is Dead or Alive on a 12 string?
The Illegals "EAGLES" Tribute band also played that at a concert that I was at The Braid Ballymena Northern Ireland"
Well played again Ben great player.
Checkout his album it’s great 👍
I thought the Faith sounded the best.
Not ticket to ride?
The Byrds-8 miles high. IIRC Roger Mcguinn played a 12 string on a few of their big hits.
Electric 12s, yeah
Don Felder had written the riff and played on the album. Glen only played the rhythem on gigs. Even on gigs, Felder played the riff with two arms Gibson Guitar 6/12.

Queen -'39
Nuff said
To not feature a Maton guitar and play a John Butler song just seems like a massive missed opportunity
Patiently waiting for the Fender Am Original 70s strat release...
As iconic as Wish You Were Here is, I find myself More and More drawn to Pink Floyd's earlier output. The guitar work on Meddle is absolutely sublime...I think Fearless was originally played on a 12-string. #PinkFloyd #Meddle #DavidGilmour #PsychedelicRock
The Fender 12 sounds good.
Rain Song?
Well played my son
Don Felder played the 12 string on Hotel California, not Frey.
1:34 1976, played by Don Felder
Roger Hodgson was known to play Guilds.
JESUS WHEN YOU PLAY THAT G CHORD, THAT 3 FINGER IS HUGE. LOL! WISH I HAD HANDS LIKE THAT.
I like Ben's playing and the addition to the Andertons RUclips channel but the Fender and the Faith sound terrible.
To me the Alvarez AJ80CE maple sounded the best. And that's coming from someone that hates the fuckin' eagles man. lol
Dead or Alive springs to mind?
Daniel Rossen's (from Grizzly Bear) solo album has some excellent 12 string songs. Check out his live performance of "Golden Mile" on KEXP's RUclips channel.
Roger Hodgson played a Guild Jumbo 12 string.
Hotel Cali wasn't quite right, but I'm sure he knows this and probably took a little bit of artistic license and made it his own. I suppose, good to hear an alternate version!
A lot of 12 string recordings are just two 6 strings recorded overdubbed with the octave changed on one
That’s an old studio trick whereby one guitar has an otherwise normal set of strings and the other has the octave strings. The guitar with the octave strings is now called a Nashville-tuned guitar.

Bravo molto interessante Ziggy Stardust mi e' piaciuto molto
The Waiting - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers has a great 12 string riff (1981).
Yep, another great Ric electric 12 sound. There should be a "best electric 12 string riff" video sometime.
Hotel California came out in '76
My Sweet Lord...George Harrison MBE!!!!!!!!!!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan Life By The Drop please
Holy shit I got here before The Eagles take it down and sue Anderton’s
You play like a demon Ben. As for suggestions, when doing a video like this, why not tell us which guitar you preferred? To my ears the Faith guitar sounded by far the better.
How could you not include and Zeppelin or rush? Very famous for 12 strings
Mr tambourine man ?

Wanted dead or Alive🤘🏻
Breaking The Girl??
Heart's "Crazy on You", you need an Ovation 12 String. That's almost a video unto itself, Ovation 12 string riffs. Non-1970's, "Dead or Alive" Bon Jovi.
That’s a six-string, not a 12-string
Don is gonna get you!
5 for 5!
No Kottke? Although, he's not as big as the artists featured in this video...
When I play acoustic... I play a 12-string 80% of the time.
Name- by Goo Goo Dolls was a nice 12 string song
Your favorite was Ziggy, huh?
No Tangerine? I'm off
Eight Miles High - The Byrds.
On a Ric electric 12
Suicide Note Part 1 by Pantera
No John Denver???
I`ve just realised I can`t play Hotel California, I thought I could, Bugger!
ALVAREZ!!!
Thought Zeppelin Tangerine would be in there.
Or "Over The Hills And Far Away"
I think this isn't from the 70s?....
While my guitar gently weeps - The Beatles (written by George Harrison)
Umm, no Hole Hearted??? Odd....
5 months after upload and somehow still monetized despite playing Hotel California...
...hello...God?
Hole Hearted Extreme.
careful playing anything Eagles. They like to copyright and remove anything over 3 notes it seems...
