12-string requires a greater sense of space, because it is, in fact, work with the orchestra sound (instead of more "focused" 6-string = black&white). And you got it. Now is the time to draw a picture, in color :-)
P.S. My favorite 12-string master - Ralph Towner, ECM, I listen to him often.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
very nice,, i like the open "breezy/airy" sound/feel of this
Outstanding!
My friend, you have a knowledge of your instrument that I could never hope to have. Magnificent piece of music.
Faved instantly.

Excellent!

Very impressive young fella!! The guitar sounds fantastic.
Very nice finger picking, sir. I could never do as well. With my fat fingers it would sound like my cat was chasing a mouse through the sound hole. ER
Beautiful mate very well played.
An improv...you make me SICK! This is beautiful...just lovely.
wow, twelve string, thats legendary style there bro
absolute fantastic sound here....................beautiful.
very nice, looks/sounds like you have an old friend back with you
Very perceptive Kirk. Ant is a big favorite of mine right now. Now if I could just get up the gumption to take the 12 into open tunings..
Beautiful! You must have surely listened to a lot of Anthony Phillips at one time
Sounds good. Damn good K. Man I love 12 strings....need to barrow my dad's again.

Simply lovely. Will have to search for more Scartaglen.
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Ha!
I must echo everyone else. Beautiful songwriting.
Fantastic, inventive stuff.
This just seems to float in the air and tickle the ears. Nice epi.

Call Neil! He'd like this one.
