Erin Shore (12-string/DADGAD)

This is a typical British Isles tune in that, what it is called depends on who you ask. I liked the version performed by "The Coors." They called it Erin Shore, so that works for me.

I played this on my new Taylor GA4-12. The tuning is DADGAD lowered a step, with a capo on the third fret..

How are you finding that GA4-12? Thanks.

@malthus101 - I am enjoying it very much. It is slightly smaller than my 1991 Taylor 555, but it still has plenty of volume.

Sounds great, John - love the clarity in your arrangement.

@spryce1 - Thank you. I hadn't heard many people try it on the guitar, but I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.

The arrangement is already beginning to evolve. In the middle section, I've added an Am. So now the chord progression is G, Am, Em, C/G.

I love this. It's all I've been listening to. Have you done any recording? If not, please do.

I play a 12 string too, but have never tried it with DADGAD, that rings beautifully and is very ethereal. Lovely - thanks.

That was fantastic, man. The guitar has a great tone, too.

I love the music from the Isles and your tune is a perfect example of why I do.

Wonderful to listen to.
