This man walked right into a music store and played stairway?!?!? RESPECT
🤣
I've done that a few times and I'm still friends with the owners of the guitar store.
They thought it was Jason Mraz so they let it slide.
That whole thing seems to be a TH-cam joke. I went into my local music store a couple years ago to get some strings, and asked the owner of the store about it. It is a mom and pop business. He said he had no problem with it. He handed me an Ibanez acoustic 6 string and I played it for maybe 10 minutes. The world didn't end.
Heard this today. Now I know why I got my own 1975 Guild F-512 string guitar before I even graduated from college in 1976. It is still the best sounding 12 string guitar on the market! Still have it and it sound just as dynamic as the one Jon is playing here.
What a great sounding guitar! I knew that Guild has a great reputation for its 12-strings and you certainly proved that!
Watched and listened to this many times over ..if anyone wanted to see you play live in 2024...would that be possible..?..truly excellent
For me, the world of TH-cam is happiness, tears and love. There is silence at the cafe window on Wednesday morning, but when I habitually turn on TH-cam in the flow, I accidentally come into your video and enjoy it in the videos unfolded by the algorithm. It must not have been easy, but you have great enthusiasm. It will be difficult for anyone to understand all of your hard work in video production unless you try it yourself. like everything else You are never alone because there are subscribers like me who are begging for your videos at this time. Do you know how dazzlingly valuable and beautiful your TH-cam life is? The most wonderful person is Baro, who put all his heart, effort, and hard work into making this video. Please make more good videos of you in the future. Everyone in the world lives the same. I was on TH-cam a little earlier and a little late, so I think it's just the difference I haven't shown yet. I wish you success as much as you have worked hard for your dream, and at the same time, I would like to give you praise and support with all my heart and sincerity as your channel gradually develops into a very large channel.
So good! But... many people forget the classic Rolling Stones As tears go by
I got my first12-string today ...absolutely incredible sound, Going to enjoy gigging with it,
Over the hills was my fav. Sounded brilliant
I agree!
That guitar sounds like heaven dude!
I’m picking up my first Guild 12 string today on the way home from work. I can’t wait!
That Guild is the numero uno number one top of the 12 strings! Nice playing!
Great sounding Guild!
Great vid, thanks.
I started playing 12 string in the early 60s. There were 2 hits I remember. "Walk Right In" by The Rooftop Singers, then "12 String Shuffle" by guitar teacher Bert Weedon.
I can't afford Guilds but I play superb Seagulls......
I didn't expect Pride and Joy...
Loved it

My favorite? Magic Power by Triumph.
DOA JON !!! Cuzz you helped me learn it...
AND...
Gave me a useful & bit of a different perspective on playing it that made sense!!
So... THANX !! 🤠🤘
Either Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd or 39 by Queen
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"
Life by the drop
The best 12 string guitar ever....played this guitar few month ago in a musicstore.....this guitar is insane.....full and big sound.....must have, but 3.500€.....:-(
Fantastic playing,I was watching it thinking I’d love to hear him play over the hills and far away then voila!😊
Liked them all. Thanks for sharing with us.
Great playing, great guitar and great hat ... ! 👌🎸👌
Greetings from Austria
👋
That was a bloody good guitaring.
Triumph Magic Power is another nice sounding song on 12 string. Guy in my old army unit would play his while on 24 hour duty in the barracks, was nice to hear
Nicely done Sir! Thumbs up~John
Nice playing I just a Alvarez 12 string first one been playing 30 years God it's a blast I had forgotten a few tunes you played..thanks for sharing. Peace and light..Jeff
Jeffrey Schmoldt nice enjoy your new guitar! 🎸👍
Beautiful, sounds! More Than a Feeling gets me every time
Well done! I just got a new F512 myself!
Best sounding 12-string guitar ever built ❤
Nice to see you man didn’t know you had a TH-cam channel 🎉
That guitar looks nice. Nice playing on it too...👍🔥🎸🎼🙏
Super fun concept and very nice playing!👍
Thanks Mark! New videos added everyday to the channel! Hope you get some value out of the videos. 😃 🎸
This was awesome! Thank you!
Great taste!
Nicely played thanks for sharing 👍
Top of the line Guild 12... fantastic. I have a 1979 Guild F212XL NT. Picked it up in a pawn shop in the early 80's. Incredible power, chime & tone. I'll never sell it.
I have that same guitar (2013). Now I tell people that I used to play a six string.
Cool. Thought I posted here but guess I forgot to push the comment button. Man, you are great. Wish I found this a long time ago. So much to learn and I've been playing since I was 5. I'm 66 now. I had a beautiful Guild 12 string years go. Wish I still had it but had to put food on the table. Anyway I have a Martin now, well for a few years and also a Alvarez. Anyway thank you so much. Hope to find more of your lessons and such.
Great picking man!
You Should get 5 million thumbs up !!!!!!!!! Great work. I wish I had half your talent.
Absolutely awesome thank you bro 🙏
Nice Jon, love your teachings. Joe in Canada
My personal favorite: "Damn Good" played by Steve Vai on the David Lee Roth album Skyscraper
I've always wanted a 12 string guitar. They just have such an amazing natural tone that's hard to replicate if you didn't have any amps, pedals or etc
I have one of these that I love www.recordingking.com/rds912fe5ts if you just a 12 string and don’t want to spend a ton of money, I highly recommend it.
Play what you want to play and record it
then put a capo on the 5th fret and play it again using the alternate cords, overdub on the 2nd track
12 strings
I bought a new 12 string acoustic from Gear For Music it cost me 80 pounds/quid.Sounds lovely.
Very nice, entertaning.
Great playing and sounding guitar. Ive got a question tho, why is it that many of these 12 string guitar lists include over the hills and far away when it was played on a Martin D28 6 string guitar for the intro but everyone plays the intro with a 12 string. As i understand Page did use a bit of the 12 string sprinkled on the song to add some nuances but for the most part it was played on a 6 string. Imagine playing the intro to stairway to heaven on a 12 string because Page used a 12 string later on in the song. I mean it does sound nice but i just don’t get it.
Nicely done...what model of Guild is this ?
Well done dude!
Great playing Jon ,,Got lost al little on Stevie and Petty,Need much practice Loved Boston, Excellent Sting Leopard Walter B,Memphis Tn, Take Care, Later,
What?
Other than the blues, there only 2 or 3 than you can play the entire song with the 12 string. Unless you have a double neck or studio...you're stuck playing the intro or a verse over and over...what are some songs that are played entirely or at least throughout on a 12 string?
Great playing. Sounded Great. 😁👍 Closer to the heart is another good 12 string one.
It's hard to beat a Guild 12-string! I've got 2 of them, an F512 made in 1979, and a D-20-12 made in 1980. And a Maton made in 1971 that sounds like God playing the guitar! Nice work, nice playing, some good choices of songs, and at least the guitar is in tune - unlike some of the others who have posted on here!! And that comes from a guy who's been playing 12-strings for 55 years.
Guild guitars are incredible especially the older ones. Would love to try a Maton 12. I bet it sounds great! Have fun playing! 😃🎶🎸
@@jonmaclennan If you want to see how a REALLY beaten up one sounds, look on here for John Butler playing a piece called "Ocean" in his studio at home. It will blow your mind, and he really gives it hell!! My Maton is in perfect condition, and I've had it since 1974, mind you there's a hell of a story behind it as well. It was stolen by members of a motorcycle gang who burgled my home in 1980, and I got it back after it was found on a beach here in New Zealand after two and a half years. It was fucked, to say the least. It was repaired but I was never happy with it, and finally I got a local luthier, Davy Stuart, to fix it all up - it took him over two years, waiting for exactly the right piece of spruce for the top!! Look him up at stuart.co.nz - he's amazing to say the least and he exports his instruments all over the world!! Ever since he fixed it it sounds like God playing the guitar, and I've even had Tommy Emmanuel say it's the best sounding 12-string he's ever heard!!
allansbullet that is incredible! Wow! 🙌🙌🙌
I just picked up a Guild F112 made in Hoboken, NJ in 1968. Right before they moved factories to Westerly, Rhode Island. Great collection you have. Haha you're right keeping the 12 strings in tune is half the battle,.
Pride and joy on 12 string...acoustic.....😁...cool.
Sweet man. Now I’ve got some tunes to play on my guild 512. Thanks for this!!
Rock on! Glad to help!
Absolutely FABULOUS!!!
Might I suggest since you’re using the Guild, you include “Question” by thr Moody Blues....
Michael Williams agreed!
Nice work!
Wow you play good
Your amazing
I could spot a little bit of Clapton's Layla in the Life by the Drop tune...great video!
May I ask what is the model of the guitar, the sound is just amazing
Thanks Parit! It’s a GuildF412. Something about this one is really special. It’s the best 12 string I have ever played hands down.
Pretty awesome.
Thank you!
nice work,thank you
Many thanks!
Love that Guild! Played on one at GC and they had a used 6 string that was scrumptious! They wouldnt lend it to me so i had to leave it there.
Bravo! 👍🏼
Incredible tone! But two Zeppelins and no John Denver on a Guild 12 string? -__-
I have the same Guild 12 String, it a cannon!
Love those jubo Guilds esp the F412
I Stay Away by Alice In Chains!
It sounds beautiful on the 12 string better
Nice. I wish you had played the full intro to Stairway to Heaven. You left out the most famous one of all. Mr. Tambourine Man by Roger McGuinn/The Byrds.
On a Guild 12-string. That’s not just any 12-string
Baci302 i love my guild 12 also.ever since i saw. Tom Kiefer of Cinderella use his i had to buy one..and i did,
@@johnnystieferman6527 I'm dying to get one. It sounds like 5 guitars.
Hey back 302. Not sure if you are aware or not ,now i do not know for sure but mine is a 2000 model made in USA ,they have a cheaper line.made in china or somewhere like that,if you can afford it get the real deal. Made here in the usa you will not be disappointed .. i gave a grand for mine on e bay and the guy lived about 150. Miles from me so the bride and me made a road trip one SUNDAY to his town and got it..
@@johnnystieferman6527 My Man! Congrats. Looks like you found the perfect woman! lol. Thanks for the info, Johnny.
@@johnnystieferman6527 The Taylor 12 String is the easiest 12 String to play due to its light action.
Wel done
Best 12 strings guitar ever
So Good! Thank you.
Thank you!
Hey Jon. Looks like you and I had the same idea a few weeks apart. I did 8 in mine. Anyway, I just came upon this and I really enjoyed your playing. It's funny, you didn't do any Byrds either. I caught hell from it. LOL. So much so that I had to seek redemption so I dug it back out last week and did THE RIFF THAT MADE THE 12 STRING FAMOUS. I was going to give you the link but I don't want to disrespect your channel. Check it out if you have time. I love that Guild. The one I'm using in my two videos is borrowed from a student. I sanded the saddle, filed the nut, and I was still forced to tune down in the first video as the intonation was so bad. I just picked up an Ibanez 12 string. I was going to go with a cheaper Guild ($400) but I went with a $300 Ibanez. I may send it back and upgrade. We'll see. it just arrived an hour ago. Anyway, I'm rambling. I subscribed to the channel and I'm going to check out some more of your videos. Take care and enjoy your weekend. -Mark
do some byrds songs and golden earings version of their gret song 8 miles high now that's 12 string mcguin gretch style
Love a bit of Bowie and srv.
Nice! Scrolling through the comments I see all the suggestions I might have made for songs, so I'll shut up. I do have suggestions not listed here, but probably only your dad would recognize them. hahaha
Hi Jon is your 12 string in standard tuning I know some use drop D ??
Standard. Unless I am intentionally re-tuning it for something but 99% of the time standard.
Like on this one I re-tuned it: th-cam.com/video/4ly4aSfqNKY/w-d-xo.html
I just got 'new to me' Breedlove 12 string. HAPPY
Congrats! Have fun playing! ✌️🎸
What model Guild is that. Is it the F2512e?
F412

I've never played a 12 strings, how hard it is to bend this thing?
Hard
Only heard one guitarist make 12 strings bends good, Serge Fiori from Harmonium (check out the song Dixie)
I have one, and while I often use it as lead, bending is.... not made for it.
The two high strings sound particularly good when you’re tremolo picking, and the G or D strings are awesome for some jazzy/folky/country/bluegrass/indie/alt licks
It’s of course very cool as a rythm instrument or accompaniment for singing
There are some électric 12 strings which are probably easier to bend, but I never played one.
@@joshjams1978 thanks
Hazy shade of winter
I'm kinda surprised none of The Beatles songs were on this list.
helterskelter yeah like Norwegian Wood or help
I don’t recall SRV doing “Pride And Joy” on a 12-string! Would’ve been cool if he did!

Jon MacLennan That whole Unplugged was jaw dropping! The speed and precision, ON A 12 STRING!!! 🤤
Jon MacLennan very nice! Thanks for sharing! I forgot about SRV’s unplugged concert on MTV
On a steel horse i riiiiiiiide
Im a cowboy
What brand is this guitar from?
Guild F412
@@jonmaclennan thank you very much
What name the that guitar?
Guild F412
Guild JF65-12?
Anything recorded with a 12 string in the last 3 years? I think the Bon Jovi song was the most recent song played here. Some of those I was in diapers when they came out, and I'm a middle aged man 😄. Could you do a hip hop loop on a 12 string? Some Modern Coffee shop folk? Is modern country compatible with the 12 string?
I'm DEFINITELY not him, but I think it depends on the player. Music is all in one realm and it takes creativity to make it yours. I think you can play anything on a 12 as well, you just gotta engineer it properly.
Matt Mays uses them
Отлично, красиво. Very nice 👌
If your going to play on a Guild you have to do some John Denver 12-string.
Totally 👍 What about ' the bells of Rimney' or I suppose 'Annie's song'
I was wondering how those studio recordings sounded so good on the guitar wala the secret is out , those sly band groups
Can We Play Solos On 12 String?
And can we bend the strings?
Of course! Go for it. ✌️🎸
@@jonmaclennan I Am Sorry For Bothering But Can You Suggest Low Gauge Strings For 12 Strings Which Is Available Worldwide
Thank You.
@@gigachad6117 Sure I like using Daddario.
Still can’t believe petty is gone
No Byrds?!
That was well put together . Some crackers in there 👍🏻
Yes but did he buy the guitar?
The 1st song I played on the 12 String Guitar was The Greatest Show arranged by Mark Brymer:th-cam.com/video/99tFspZKoIM/w-d-xo.html
I've got a Guild 12 string and love it. Not as good as the one in the video but for $500 I love mine...plus I'm not that good
Nice . Where’s Maggy ?
You totally missed a worldwide number1, that knocked the Beatles off number 1! And it featured the greatest female singer ever!
love the SRV songs!!! great choices!
……….and you forgot the ultimate riff that made the 12 famous.Hint, the Byrds playing Bob Dylan’s song.
