Hotel California 12 string Intro (Original song cover)

This is my first shot at the 12string intro. The bass is recorded using a 6string with a bass effect so it lacks some substance! Time to get a bass guitar! Followed the tabs with a few mistakes - I am only human after all.
I will be posting more of my material over time.

@mrelisamuel sorry for the late response...

Because of the tuning 12string guitars give a natural chorus effect which you can hear in this songs intro. I loved the sound so much I went a bought the guitar just to play it! They give a great feeling of depth if played for backing to vocals. Hope that answered your Q.

@realjuvelive its supposed to work.

@mrelisamuel I think I'm gonna record it with my electric guitar part1: with standard tuning

part2: the same thing but with lower octave for each string ..so do you think that works>?

[mrelisamuel]

@realjuvelive that when you are playing with 12 strings it sounds like your playing with two guitars at the same time

What's the difference between 12 or only 6 strings ?
