Thanks! I love the sound of a 12-string. Songs like Space Oddity, Wish You Were Here, Every Rose Has It's Thorn etc sound great on it.

Oh yeah. All those sound great on 12-string, I agree 1000%. Every time I play one I want one that much more. That'll be my next acoustic acquisition.

Found a good tab of WDOA on Guitar Tab Universe. Printed it out and ran through it a few times. Gotta work on the string skip during the intro but the rest is fine. Hearing you do it helps a lot. I know what to listen for. Sounds different than the album somewhat. Little notes here and there, mostly overdubs I bet.

The Rock Score book version that I've got has 2 guitars playing the opening riff. I play "guitar 1", and there is a higher register "guitar 2". The way that most of the tabs show it works ok, but I like the way I play it on my 12.

I like how yours sounds too. It's more like the way Richie plays it live. Thanks for your help.

And sorry, Davey, for taking the thread OT. At least it's 12-string related.
