Mark (6-string) in a head to head battle to determine if serious guitar players need to have a 12-string in their arsenal to pull off those classic riffs. You'd be surprised about many songs that you love feature a 12-string. Songs that are compared include: Wish You Were Here, Mr. Tambourine Man, More Than a Feeling, Closer to the Heart, Give a Little Bit, Wanted Dead or Alive, and more.
