Early Mornin' Rain - 12 string - Gordon Lightfoot

[Raelspark]

Nice job. I play 12-string too. Look up my stuff on youtube too.

[StevieB1362]

Good job. Love the harmonica. Are you on an empty stage? Sounds like you are in a lonely empty auditorium...or airport...? Good appropriate sound for this song.. Please play more.

[Lowdenjim]

@StevieB1362 Thanks Stevie - it's recorded in a small room but with Reverb added afterwards using sound-editing software.

What a nice way to end my day. So smooth.

[Tizzacious]

Just a quick question for you Jim because I can't seem to find a confident answer, when i adjust my truss rod should I keep the strings in tune or detune it first?

[Lowdenjim]

If lowering the action (tightening the truss rod) I detune it first - dropping tension down a couple of tones. Adjustment should be done slowly (a quarter turn only) and strings brought back to concert pitch to check action and intonation. The wood should be allowed to adjust to the new tension gradually before making further adjustment where required.

Well now Mr Zeus, I thank you very much Sir!

[WildAmazzzonka]

[razvanilin]

I love it...great little lonely cowboy rhythm.

Thanks - I did this as a counter-weight to my finger-picked version which I recorded too fast!

Thanks again - I thought it about time I dusted the cobwebs off the 12 string.... I'd forgotten I'd got one!
