Says he can’t finger pick on a 12 string string then comes out with an awesome melody haha
Love MATON guitar
Beautiful sound 12 strings produce. Can’t wait to get one
The intro is my own song, called The Colour Of You, will be out on my album late Feb 2013! Well I wrote the riff bit - the songs was completed, co-written with my band.
hey Justin, great lesson. I know a few people who have 12 string and I would love to try one some day. Just one question; are 12 strings good with hammer ons and pull offs?
great video justin
so user friendly, thank you
Which song is the intro?
Great videos Justin. I’ve name dropped on Jam Play !
should you release the tension of the strings on these guitars when not playing it? does the tension create bad action?
Justin, was it Tommy Emmanuel that inspired you to pick up Maton guitars???
Yes and no, The B and high e strings are the same octave, unlike the E, A, D, and G strings.
whats tne name of the song he’s playing at the beginning of the lesson?
can we use the octave pedal on an electric guitar in order to emulate the 12string tone?
That is one beautiful G’tar Mate! Sounds great. Thanks for all the great lessons. I’ve spread the word to so many friends to check out your site. They’ve all come back with positive feedback! Thanks again J!
I believe it’s around 1200.00 plus 240.00 S & H Not sure how that would equate in US currency but probably not too far off the mark. Just seems like a heck of a so to speak “unsupervised” journey for a guitar.
in australia it would probably cost 3 million dollars
I want a Maton 12 string mini so bad!! To bad Australia is so darn far from the US.
Justin, is there any chance of getting a tutorial for the Stones’ As Tears Go By. There is this wonderful Shine a Light rendition where Keith uses a 12the string. That would be great. Thanks such much for all your efforts!!!
use a light gauge til you get use to it. earthwood is a good soundin cheap set of strings that have a good long life.
thank you for gettin to my question justin. since Mr. young is your favorite singer , song writer and mine as well, try war of man on your new 12 .it sounds so full . for me it is hard to get all the sound on a 6 cause of the talent involved but the 12 makes all the difference. im glad to see you gettin back into the 12 and hope you do more. thanks agaiin justin
