Lovely tune by Welsh guitarist John Rodge - not usually played low tuned & on the 12 string, but seems to suit rather well...

Guitar is a Maton CJ85 custom spruce/blackwood (satin finish) with an APMic pickup for those who might be interested. Audio suffered a bit - just the poor camera mic trying its best! (pa & large boomy hall)

@birkenweg42 Many thanks - appreciate your comments. The tuning is just relative to standard but approx 2 tones lower. Strings are Elixir 10s, but I'd prefer to go up a bit when tuned that low - phosphor bronzes would also give a little more definition in the basses. Works ok as is when amplified, though.

Nicely done. Beautiful song and playing. I would be interested to know what tuning you used and what your string size is.

Sounds good on the 12-string. The instrument suits you. Hopefully, more to come.
