Hey,
I got this amazing 12 string acoustic now. It's sounds good for some of the acoustic stuff i know but yet they aren't 12 string guitar songs. So...I was hoping some people would make a list of some 12 string songs to practise

Well, obviously anything by Sweet 75 :cool:
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

A '12-string song' is any song you play on your 12-string guitar! Don't restrict yourself to stuff like "Hole Hearted" just because it was written on a 12-string. The rich fullness of a 12-string works well with just about anything. I use a 12-string for songs from "Tommy" to great effect.

Give a Little Bit by Supertramp (Goo Goo Dolls covered it) is nice and easy to play, Wild Hourses by the Stones also comes to mind. Dust in the Wind By Kansas, the list will go on and on.

I think I am going to get me a 12-string and try Led Zep's The Rain Song in original tuning E-A-D-A-D-E!
