Don't listen to these wahoos. 12 string is a totally different creature that takes a completely different technique to play. To begin with, you use your feet and not your hands. There is a lot more but it's so complex I can't event describe it. But if you can get the tongue part executed well, the chics will indeed dig it (or you). You do have the bay leaves, right? Can't do any decent 12 string without those...

my gf hates when i play acousitic in general lol even though i am much better at it. Looks like im going to be playing more and more electric now... evidently its "hot"...:cool2:

That's why I have an acoustic and electric 12-string. No not really, I have them for different sounds and styles. I can't say I've found any girls I know having a preference. Being able to simply play, and in public seems to do it for the ones I know.:friday:

The foot playing and the tounge part would be ok for me... but the chicks seem to be the problem for me.
