I have a question. Has to do with a 7th chord.
In a D chord you would add C, it being the 7th.
In a C chord you would add a Bb, not a B to get a 7th, even though the C is natural.
Why?

Thanks

another fun neil diamond, though it's not recent-Thank the Lord for the Night time

another poster mentioned Cherry Cherry

both fun and easy to play, and also up tempo (ballads are nice but they get old if that's all you got)

Almost have a solo acoustic version of this worked up. Requires a little adjustment here or there. The vocals are tough though as they're pretty constant and you have to practice your breathing. Maybe they used multiple lead vocals to sing line by line, or maybe they just had great lungs.
I also dropped it down a step(starts in Am that way, instead of Bm), and that makes it more suitable to adapting solo.

I saw these guys last December in Tulsa and they put on one great show. They can still do it as good as ever, even though there are only 3 original members left. They were using 3 others as well.

Anyway, thanks again for helping me out here!!

After your first post I was going to recommend the Yamaha, but now see you already got it.
I think you'll love it.
I bought an Alvarez-Yairi DY-76 12 string in 1976 and still have it. My 26 yr old son, an accomplished musician, tells me it has the best action of any acoustic he's ever played on.
The fact is, in the 1970's, the Japanese had all the best wood available for making quality guitars, so any one from that period is gonna be a keeper.

However, never use anything heavier than light gauge strings. Even medium gauge can overstress the bridge and cause it to crack.

CONGRATS on your new old guitar.
ROCK ON!

Sweet!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

You're not only good, but FAST.

Lights allow for string bending and are easier on the bridge, which is why I like them. Especially on a 12-string, mediums can overstress the bridge, causing it to crack. Not good. And NO bridge should be floating or adjustable. Merely the sign of cheap craftsmanship.
I have played for almost 40 yrs and tried everything there is to try. Alot of it is just personal preference when it comes to brands. I have settled on Elixir cause they last longer and are worth the extra $$. As far as the sound coming from the guitar, when some say it's too loud with mediums or too soft with lights, that's more of an indication of their guitar. I play an old Alvarez Yairi from 1976 that has a jumbo body and puts out great volume with light gauge strings.

Trial and error is your best bet. Use what YOU like.
