Blackbird on a 12 String

Proof that you CAN play Blackbird on a 12-string. This is after about 2 12-packs of beer, so bear with me.

It is, keep watching. look closer.

Yeah; I can't have anything nice around the house because of the dogs and the wife, but I just got divorced, so I can get the $5k Gibson I always wanted =)

I definitely recommend Mitchell-brand for a cheap price average-to-good quality guitar.

That hand-wave Ninja slice I do in the beginning is to make fun of my friend Ryan who is convinced that this song can't be played on a 12-string.

@xx211pat211xx You're so good at math.

There is no way that you drank 2 12 packs of beer. Thats 24 and I'm not doubting you, I'm just saying you couldn't have played Blackbird the way you did while shitfaced.

@desr2395 I owned one for a day. Then I came to my senses and took it back to the store and bought a Yamaha LL16. If you own a Mitchell that isn't a piece of shit, then it's either one of the old ones or you just got lucky. However, the assertion that a Mitchell compares favorably with a Martin (unless you're talking about one of those compressed sawdust sub-$1500 Martins in name only) is absurd.

@Hoopermazing have you ever owned a mitchell? cuz i have one and it plays so much better than the martin 12 string i played at gc

@Hoopermazing Dude, OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T FUCKING SEE IT. Now will you quit flaming me over something so insignificant as not seeing a nut as being twelve-string?

[Hoopermazing]

@forglegorktheork When the video starts the nut is 2 inches from the camera, you blind fucktard.

[forglegorktheork]

@Hoopermazing Need you be an asshole? Obviously the first time I saw this video I DIDN'T see the courses at the nut. I see it now and also can hear the obvious difference in sound from a six-string.

@jelawsonusmc Mitchells are poorly made pieces of shit that will put a beginner off playing guitar. Far better to just save up a few more sheckles and buy a decent, and playable, entry level guitar... like a Yamaha, Fender or Epiphone.
