Song: The Eagle and the Hawk
Artist: John Denver
I now have all the guitars I should ever need.
I have my Classical Guitar...
my electric Bass Guitar...
and now I have a...
12 String Acoustic...
and an Electric Guitar...
both of which are Epiphones.
There are a lot of songs I wish to play...
and now I have the ability to eventually learn them
on these guitars.
I will use my other instruments as well to accompany the guitars.
Right now I am practicing two songs...
one of which uses the 12 string guitar...
Bass Flute...
and the Max 10 keyboard arranger.
It will take a while as the 12 string takes much more pressure
on the strings to play...
and as such...
I cannot practice with it for too long a time...
as my hands feel arthritic.
The other song uses the classical guitar...
bass flute...
and the Max 10.
I had gotten the 12 string as it not only has a unique ring
to the strings as it is played...
I had no steel string acoustic.
On strumming songs...
the 12 string guitar adds a great richness.
And...
if I wanted...
I could remove 6 of the strings for a regular acoustic...
and...
as the 12 string guitar must be made more robustly than a normal 6 string guitar...
if I wished...
I could also convert the 12 string into a 6 string baritone guitar.
Now...
I got this style of electric guitar because the semi hollow body
has a unique sound that is difficult to reproduce on other guitars.
I can mix and match the pickups to sound like other electric guitars...
but this also has the capability to having a mellow sound that blues and jazz
requires.
I have some songs in mind to play using this...
but it will take a while for me to finish my other songs first.
However...
it is a good carrot for me to finish my songs so I may
get busy using this one.
I have it hanging on my wall next to my computer
so that it calls out to me to use it soon.
It is a used Epiphone P-93.
The Bigsby Vibrato will be especially used on some planned songs
in the future.
