Dylan’s Canon 12 String

This is my 12 string version of Dylan’s Canon. This song is based off of Pachelbel’s Canon, with the amazing style of Trace Bundy. Written and recorded August 16, 2006.

All 12 strings are on. Why some people are saying that only 6 strings are on i don’t know.
This video was recorded at my buddy Corey Ballantyne’s and it’s his guitar. I wish I had a 12 string…but I don’t

[..YouTube..] difficult to keep twelve strings tuned and sounding perfect due to weighting in the neck and they are better for strumming but this vid is still cool…hard to do that stuff , like andy mckee and co…. good work

[..YouTube..] @billster96 well aren’t you quite the articulate little bugger? seeing as how your only video is a poor audio version of come as your are, I’d say you don’t know to much about composition or timing. So in conclusion, before you bash on this guy, take a look at where the improvement really needs to come from…. you.

guitargods February 11, 2011 at 6:02 PM

[..YouTube..] @billster96 You’re absolutely right. And seeing as this was recorded over 5 years ago I can assure you that I have had plenty of time to improve.
