Yeah I know i must have included the great "Hotel California" but i didn't want my video blocked 😉. Anyway... tell me about your favorites!

[@gibberjabber5185]

No kidding I'm surprised they don't try to block you cuz you mentioned the name. Great playing 😜

Dude, you gotta be careful with Supertramp as well, those bastards even spit copyright strikes on channels that make covers of their stuff.

[@nieze]

I just ordered my Harley Benton 12 string..can't wait!!

[@j.d.schultzsr.9215]

I've been picking 12s since 1964 and still play my Yamaha 1982 FG260 as my goto acoustic. Some of my favourites: 1. Love In Vain (Robert Johnson/Stones) 2. Goin' Up The Country (Henry Thomas/Canned Heat) 3. San Fransisco Bay Blues (Jesse Fuller/Jack Elliot/Peter Paul, Mary etal) 4. The Candy Man (Mississippi John Hurt) 5. Midnight Special (xdeeexx/Leadbelly/Creedence) 6. As Tears Go By (Jagger-Richard/M. Faithful) 7. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (Lennon/McCartney 8. Wild Horses (Jagger-Richard)

[@robertshuler9556]

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks!

[@kkkwhhh]

Great playing, buying this 12 string now to add to collection.

[@johnbrasher1495]

Kudos for Stevie Ray, Collective Soul and AIC, great choices. Would love to see 20 12-string tunes that were not big radio hits!

Played beautifully...Guitar sounds great...I'm in two minds about one of those or the Yamaha fg820 as my first 12 string....Many thanks for sharing your video....

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks!

[@alvarocura]

Ufff that sounded gorgeous

[@TheTomvaliente]

There should've been some Stones. Maybe "Wild Horses", "Ruby Tuesday", or "As Tears Go By".

[@Elena_Krossviktory]

Great sound! Nice room with so many guitars! Loved the music, as always. ❤️❤️❤️ And... let's all forget about that "Hotel California"!

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@fj.v.9017]

The way you play is hypnotizing.

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! 🙂

[@matthewoconnell114]

Great video. Fantastic selection of songs. Really enjoyed adding Mama, I’m Coming Home, I Stay Away and The World I Know. I’ve always loved Angie on 12-string, as well as Over the Hills and Far Away. Your playing is great. You could easily do another list with 10+ more songs. Maggie Mae , Hole Hearted, and Ventura Highway would be nice additions.

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks a lot! Nice recommendations too

[@LandinhoLima]

Muito bom! Parabéns!

[@CSantosMusic]

Obrigado!

[@marcoesposito8753]

Nice video man

[@CSantosMusic]

Another one for me is Whole Hearted by Extreme

[@FoodFolksandGuns]

Great job, brother

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks!

[@francescodarcangeli4197]

Free fallin' is one of the most beautiful songs ever made - with the 12 string guitar it's even better

[@DJBiermann]

Except he played G instead of Dsus4 on the 2nd chord 🤦🏼‍♂

[@micaelpereira9377]

Queremos uma parte 2!

[@fluxahelmi]

👍👍👍thank you...

[@RogerioValgode]

Claudio, mais um video fantástico e como uma grande produção. Meus favoritos: Supertramp, Tom Petty, Collective Soul, Ozzy Osbourne

[@CSantosMusic]

Obrigado!

[@papadelchedrauitegc7594]

wow this channel surprises me more

Alice um Chains... Oh Yeah!!!!

[@yatsek1]

I just discovered your channel looking for some HB CLJ-412e videos. Man, great playing and great recording setup. On HB, did you do any setup to the guitar (nut, bridge, strings height, etc.) or is it on the video how it came from the shop?

[@CSantosMusic]

I didn't make any setup to this guitar. It came with an excelent action and playability. I was surprised with it for this price range

[@TheMelody911]

Love the sound and the he played feeling of an 12th string! Well played! Missed you!

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks a lot!

[@photondebuger45]

That’s the best version of free falling I’ve ever heard that someone played on a 12 string guitar

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks a lot! Cheers

[@antonioanchiraico4542]

Consulta que tipo de capo usas para q pise todas las cuerdas?

[@CSantosMusic]

Usei um capo Ernie Ball Axis

[@JoYiSgUiTaR]

Great video! I’d recommend listening to artists like Ariel Camacho, Eslabón Armado, and Fuerza Regida, they play this instrument excellently

[@billyherrington9792]

Loved it man.....great sound and song choice, and playing was top notch. Somebody already beat me to it but I will add it again....Heartbreak Station by Cinderella......and I will add Sunshine by Nazareth.

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks a lot! Cheers

[@matthiashamburg5980]

Well played and nice selection of course. In these kinds of compilations I always miss songs from Melissa Etheridge. There are countless songs where the 12-string is the backbone...... is she a blocker as well?

[@jesusmartinez4854]

enhorabuena por el video.. una pregunta recomiendas esa guitarra?, está muy bien de precio pero que tal la calidad de los materiales y durabilidad? gracias y un saludo.

[@CSantosMusic]

Olá, sim recomendo esta guitarra. Pelo preço que custa é uma boa guitarra com muito bom som. Por este preço é difícil arranjar melhor. 👍

[@guycore5478]

I don't see your Harley Benton strings listed in the description nor on your gear page. Which strings are you playing here?

[@r.h.0101]

TONE!!! 👍

[@flavioserci6046]

It seems a nice and full sound with bass and high well balanced. Is the neck comfortable and playable with hands not very large? Thanks.

[@CSantosMusic]

Yes the neck is very comfortable.

[@michiganborn8303]

All was excellent. Not an expert but when I do the Bon Jovi "Dead or Alive" on the intro I use a F before the D. You used a G before D.

[@markhill9275]

1 Stairway 2 That's the way 3 When the Levee Breaks 4 Over the Hills and Far Away 5 The song Remains The Same 6 Travelling Riverside Blues 7 Living Loving Maid 8 Tangerine 9 Thank You 10 I'll Never Find Another You Now your education is complete!

[@branislavstevanovic4444]

There's one great song usually omitted in the list of best 12 string songs of all time: Rolling Stones "As Tears Go By"... Cheers!

[@sergiymatis]

Most epic guitar player for Me

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Why not play Famous Acoustic Riffs on the 12 String this time? It's interesting hear what 6 String Guitar pieces would sound like on a 12 String. Octave4Plus makes a .006 Gauge B4 String that broadens the range.

[@shelwee]

Hole Hearted!

[@diegopinho7919]

Faltou Stairway haha,e outras poderiam ser postas como love of my life, over the hills and far away, etc.

[@AKWANMUSIC]

Great job! Didn’t know about Hotel California. Was about to post « Take it easy » on my channel. I will forget the idea...

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Great playing! How do you like the action?

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! The action was very low. The guitar came with a very nice set up

[@joserui7910]

Muito bem! E essa guitarra, Cláudio? Tem um braço “fácil” ou é muito volumoso, dado o número de cordas? Penso que o som, para além do desempenho, é muito bom! Caiu um bocado em desuso, mas considero que é um instrumento que deve ser “ reabilitado”. Parabéns e cumprimentos de cá, do outro lado do rio!

[@CSantosMusic]

O braço é praticamente igual a uma acústica de 6 cordas, apenas requer alguma prática para pressionar duas cordas de cada vez em vez de uma mas isso já tem a ver com o tipo de guitarra que é. Sem dúvida que devia ser mais usada nos dias de hoje. Gosto bastante do enchimento que dá. Obrigado e um abraço. 👍

[@robertborosa3734]

Great video! What do you think about an Ibanez pf1512 12-string guitar?

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! I never tried that Ibanez so i have no opinion about it.

Qual o preço dele? Sei que é caro kkkk, só não sei quanto

[@31leoceara]

@@playzycoversyt6172 Não é caro, não. Na verdade é um dos violões 12 cordas com melhor custo/benefício do mercado. Tá na cotação de hoje saindo pelo equivalente a uns 1400 reais.

Bom trabalho!!!! Na música "Free fallin'" se você usar o F e em seguida, invés de Bb normal, fazer um Bb9 fica show!!!!!

Obrigado!

[@pyndapborlangkharpuri3292]

Hello sir how much te price of this guiter?

[@CSantosMusic]

Hi, the price it's about 230 Euros. Check the link in the description

[@Lefthand70]

Very nice but I really terribly miss "Crystal Ball" by Styx in this compilation.

[@pyndapborlangkharpuri3292]

N what is the name of this guiter?

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

12 String Electric Guitar version?

[@gael7106]

You must include ‘el drip' or some corrido

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

I bought the cheapest Harley Benton 12 string guitar last week from Thomann. The frets have sharp edges. Is it the same with this guitar too? It is scaring that it may hurt the fingers while playing...

[@CSantosMusic]

This one is ok on the frets

[@user-pd8xz2xt5l]

Brian May Queen "39"

[@markhill9275]

Actually, if you want to go by the chart position of the song, the number 1 12 string acoustic song would have to be the one that knocked the Beatles off number 1 in the mid 60's, at the height of their fame, and it was a worldwide number1.

[@TwelveSticks]

It's insane that you can buy a guitar that sounds as good as that for under 250 Euro...

[@Thekarlskorner]

Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald or even his Sundown might be on this list too.

[@ChrisBrown-oo4bf]

How do you like that guitar? It sounds really good.

[@CSantosMusic]

It's really good for the price! Love the sound

[@PetersPorsches]

IMO Over the hills by LZ would top the World I Know
