I keep scoring half priced mint condition very expensive guitars on eBay. Adding to my guitar collection this is a 12 string Maton EM425C (must be that two world system essentially handing me top notch guitars). I thought I'd test it on this cover of the global hit from an Icelandic indie folk band using a custom backing track where the acoustic guitar part is deleted. If you know the song you'd know it's a duet with a female singer:

I know on the original track they did not use a 12 string guitar but it still sounds good with a 12 string and it's an excuse to show off my new Maton.

Really great job! Lots of energy. There is nothing better than playing along with a band like you were doing.

Very nice 12 string. It looks and sounds the business! :)

Couldn't see the video at first.

Cool concept you've done here. Where do you get your backing tracks?

Nice job and congrats on your new acquisition!

Nice Job!!! Neil actually did a lesson on this song a few months ago if I remember correctly. I like the way you have set this up to play along with the original band. Really cool...

Nice 12 string too! Love the sound.
