Preston Reed performing Last Scene In September in Rochester NY 1995. Filmed by Andrew Jurman

The 12-string acoustic guitar was a major part of my early development as a guitar player. With its huge dynamic potential, I have always used the 12-string for compositions calling for bigger, more dramatic “wall of sound” landscapes than the 6-string guitar was capable of. “Last Scene In September” - from my 1982 Flying Fish album Pointing Up - is perhaps my most extreme 12-string composition, starting out with a with a subdued lyrical mood, gradually building up the fingerpicking intensity, and then morphing into a manic frenzy of rhythmic strumming. The tune’s name comes from a made-up movie title suggesting something turbulent, dramatic and emotional. Another tune from the 1995 concert at Milestones in Rochester NY, filmed by Andrew Jurman.

Cool, didnt know that you made compositions for the 12-string guitar

I found a tuning app that has dozens of tunings in all kinds of keys . I'm having a great time exploring them . But my finger picking stinks lol . I've been seeing a lot of stuff on what they are calling Mathrock . I'd like to hear your thoughts on that when you have time . Have a blessed one .
