I love my old (1985 model) Ibanez 12 stringer. Stays in tune pretty well, just a tweak here and there before playing, no big deal. The tip here is to use the best strings you can afford. Elixers are my all time favourite.
I standard tune it these days although have tried different tunings in the past whenever I changed strings.
12'ers are a great guitar if you like doing ballads eg: John Denver, Smokie etc. Also, if your fingers are sore from playing a 6 string, the 12 string allows some relief on the finger tips and you can play on I find.
Just my thoughts.

The end of the world wasn't that bad an experience for me. The place i'm in now is pretty darn good with all my family and friends around me, my animals still know me, I have my P.C. and chordie, my guitars hanging on the wall behind me. Can't complain.

Zurf, should you decide to renounce your b-chord amnesty, I would gratefully accept it.

Hello all,
            Not hijacking here, but it is good to see some new folks taking active interest in a very informative thread.
To all the regulars, great stuff, I have learned something new today on this topic. Amy, you're a champ.
Love this site and all who make it what it is.

Zurf, you have just described my normal camping trip. The blue skies are only for the before and after, never during it seems. I still love getting out and away from it all just the same.

Seriously though, I feel for all the families affected by the storms over there. Having been through some tough times in Queensland over the past few months, I fully understand the devastation and heartbreak that can be caused by nature.
Best wishes to all

Hello highly strung, I had a look at your website. Some great photos of our beautiful country. Other Chordians in different parts of the world may care to take a look at parts of our Land Down Under.

This guy for real?

Hello Folks, I have followed this thread with interest and envy. This is my kind of trip away, fishing, four wheel drive, strumming and a drink around the camp fire. What could be better? Wish I lived closer.

MKM, your'e on the right track. Take it from an old Queenslander, and in light of recent events, staying above the water is definately where you you want to be.

All the best

C'mon Zurf, you have some attention now, what is this secret B chord shape that you are considering?

Thanks Brad for the tip. I have also bookmarked this site. I love the old country tunes but unlike Tony I am not 63. I am just 62.
