Walk, don't run (12-string instrumental)

[tovacos]

ah, the twelve string. they are a bitch to tune

[carvetop01]

Excellent. I am a big fan of Johnny Smith. I have several of his solo guitar arrangements transcribed. This is very well played.

Refreshing to hear a 12 stringer played well.

[triplehelix13]

badd ass bro, keep rockin' !!!

[TheHassmich]

great job man

could you perhaps do a tutorial playing this song? i'd love to play this too :)

chris

[mrfixitmi]

Fantastic Job, thanks for sharing this

[trevyn41]

such deep sound! I love 12 string.

must suppress... urge... to ... buy one.... I dont have money

[babipangangg]

wauw ! well done !

[Imagine1350]

Great job! I have a question though. How do 12 strings work? I've been playing 6 strings my whole life. Is it basically the same technique or is it really different because you have to hit twice as many strings? Or is it like hitting two strings at the same time...making it just like playing a 6 string?....did that make any sense?

[pachacamacs]

@Imagine1350 It is the same technique, just a bit harder for the left hand because you have to fret two strings at the same time.

[Imagine1350]

@pachacamacs Does that mean you're also struming two strings at a time with the right hand too and what is the tuning? Is each pair a set of octaves?

[pachacamacs]

@Imagine1350 Yes I hit two strings at the same time. For tuning, strings, etc., see 12string dt com among other websites. 

[simonspics1]

Awesome playing!

[Zeppelinfan11or12]

we played this same for our guitar class last year, his is way better

[mrpentium]

finally

[ratch74]

Great!



[Pulpdood]

Awesome! The chorusy sound of the 12-string sounds so good :).

[degasE1]

Excellent!

[lark3po]

very nice!

[Groove1993]

hey can you read the notes or you just play guitar?...i mean have you ever been going to some musical school?...PLS reply

[pachacamacs]

@Groove1993 I've never been to a music school and I can barely read notes.

[Groove1993]

@pachacamacs ok thx for reply, so that means you are pretty talented xD

[rajivksroks]

[furytanka]

[goatblood51]

[youtootube99]

Wow!

[JusticXcess]

lol u look like Bruce Willice :D anyway, im ur biggest fan , wish i were half as good as u buy ,hey i'm trying :D i love ur nirvana-come as u are masterpiece

[SotR59]

that's great. The 12 string gives it the impression of an actual lead and rhythm guitar being played together.

[MCH00D]

great

[Lovrowolf]

Wax your board daddy-o, surfs up!

[skatertx]

SWEET..............

[RADHAVIJAYAN]

just amazing !!!!!!

[lllazyman]

[dragonslaya777]

amazing....

[achavez123]

beautifully played.......is there any chance you might give me the tabs for a 6 string player like myself?

[ho6289]

the tabs would be the same for either 12 or 6 strings :)

[Omega0234]

That's awesome! There's no way you'd be willing to share your tab, is there?

[1KidBand]

i always loved this song, know i love it even more

[Usuck223]

All i can say is wow.... thats good! Ive been playing for a couple years and just got my first 12 string acoustic. Where did you get the tabs for this? Your version is the best ive seen on youtube.

[PJmetalman]

It sounds great with the added notes keep up the good work

[Trillian2000rs]

I've always liked this song. i like the way you play guitar

[pachacamacs]

Thank you.

[rottentommy]

your my favorite utube guitarist. How old were you when you started to play ? Nirvana is one of my favorite bands and I think your covers are as good if not better then the originals. Keep up the great work can't wait until your next posting.

[pachacamacs]

Thank you ! I must have been 14 or 15 when I started to play.

[SykoCrazyFilms]

how do you play that, like what the way you pick the guitar

[pachacamacs]

I use a thumbpick and two fingerpicks.

[hbomb485]

nice guitar playn

[coparpanzeruser]

Great sound-- you've got to do some more numbers on the twelve,

[desert122]

Man It's Amazing How You Make Both The 6 String & 12 String Guitars Sound Alike.Which One Of The 2 Do You Like Playing The Most Or Do You Not Have A Preference When It Comes To Playing The Guitars? Either Way Great Job On Your Videos Sir.

[pachacamacs]

Thank you very much ! If I could have only one, it would be the 6-string, because that's what I play most of the time and it's more versatile, but I love the 12-string sound !

[desert122]

I Have This Song Stuck In My Head Now. Thank You For Your Version Of This Song. Not Very Many Songs Remain Stuck In My Head The Way This One Has.

[rockmuscfan]

It must take a life time to bring that guitar in tone! Awesome job!!! 5*

[jnklaz]

Great arrangement. Fantastic execution. Never would have believed it would sound so well with a 12 string. Do you have tabs available?

[pachacamacs]

Thank you. Yes I have tabs, I can send them by email.

[knockitdown555]

This is awesome man !! Haha Im a fan of the ventures too..especially this song. =D great finger style..is it possible if I could have the tabs? its amazing..=)

[pachacamacs]

Thanks, send me a message with your email address, and I will send you the tabs.

[steve33336]

Wow this is amazing. Could you possibly send me the tabs for this?

[pachacamacs]

Thanks. If you send me a message with your email address, I will send you the tabs.

[nikkiroy]

WOW!! is pretty much all I can say. I'm pretty good at picking but on a 12 string... WOW!!. That was awesome.

Nikki.

[pachacamacs]

Thanks ! But a well set up 12-string shouldn't be that much harder to play than a 6.

[ic3saber]

you are so gud i wish i can play that good

im so jealous

[junka22]

wow, I just can't get my thumb to work independently like that, I just gotta keep training. I'm working on an arrangement of my own on this, perhaps a little easier than yours to play :P

[pachacamacs]

Thank you ! I'd like to hear your version.

[Sean951082]

wow dude that was a amazing

[GilsMusic]

Another 5***** my friend!! GREAT!!

[alt1962]

nice!

[beardy200]

From my uneducated ear your strumming is too fast compared to the fingerpicking parts but hey ... still cool!

[redshed88]

you suck!!!!

only beacuse I am jealous...lol

nice job!!!!!

[esp2323]

are finger picks like that hard to use/get used to?

[pachacamacs]

I got used to fingerpicks fairly quickly once I made up my mind that I should play with them. So it's largely a question of motivation. I don't find them hard to use at all, both for fingerpicking and strumming as in the intro.

[esp2323]

gotcha

[Dorian86V]

neato dude

[2mwso1056776501bob]

[pachacamacs]

Thanks. Yes these are my own arrangements.

[sthugh]

Boy, that's really nice! I have a fingerstyle version of this too, but it's not ready for primetime yet. That's a pretty sounding guitar too.

[slightlykirix]
