Hi Folks,

In this Video I'll show you how to get the most out of your electric 12-String Guitar, if you're after THAT sixties sound, made famous by George Harrison of the Beatles or Roger McGuinn of the Byrds
I'm using my BilT 12-String Guitar, probably the best 12-String guitar you can get these days, and a real hommage to the Fender Electric XII. Please check them out, they have fantastic stuff (www.biltguitars.com)
The Pickups are made by Curtis Novak (www.curtisnovak.com):

1. Play with a thin Pick, (Dunlop 0.60 or 0.70, or any thin Pick will do.

2. Use a Compressor, any Ross Type Comp will do, here I'm using the AION Compressor from AION Electronics, there is a Treble Mode on it, not found on Keeley Comps, this will give you THAT McGuinn Sound, you're after! (www.aionelectronics.com)

3. Change your String to Flatwound String, I'm using Pyramid Gold Flatwounds. Rickenbacker Guitars were sold with this String in the Sixties, and are used by Roger McGuinn to this day, so why settle with something else?
