12 String Guitar

Okay, so I was reading an article by Paul Baloche on the open chord concept.  This part seriously made me laugh out loud.



Perhaps some brave souls among you play with 12 strings.  To you I say, “God bless you and I hope you have a good tuner.”  Incedentally, I’ve always wondered if the 10-stringed lyre referred to in Psalm 33:3 was really a 12-string guitar with two broken strings.



LOL.  I’m sure you’ve noticed that I love playing my 12 string guitar.  I probably only love it because it has a tuner built in to the guitar.  You’ve also probably noticed I haven’t played it in weeks.  That’s because I still haven’t gotten around to replacing the stings after one snapped in the middle of a Sunday morning worship set.  Ah, the memories.  The total confusion as we sang a totally unplanned a capella chorus of Forever before cutting the song off really early.  The really confused look on Wendy’s face as I asked her to run to my office and grab my other guitar while I went through church life announcements.  The loud and very obvious pops in the sound as I unplugged my 12-string and plugged in my 6-string.


Come to think of it, I really should replace those strings.  I do love my 12-string guitar…..


:-D
