Hi Dan.. thanks for sharing your musical tastes, great 60s and 70s music in there.

Couple of Simon and Garfunkel songs which i'm sure were recorded with the 12 string - For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her, and The Only Living Boy in New York.

That lightly strummed intro to The Only Lving Boy never sounded right til i tried it on the 12 string, and then wow - that's the sound!

I'm bumping this thread because I'm looking for songs to play on my 12-string.
I took the suggestions previously given and combined them with a search of the TG site and added my own suggestions, and it is still by no means complete. I'm sure there are many songs yet to be added - there are no Joni Mitchell songs, for example, and many others. All the songs on the list so far are on the TG website. I'd love to see some more suggestions.....
