[New 12 String Mike]

Someday,

Hmmm. I haven't tried to describe this with just words before, without being able to demonstrate it.

What are some of the songs you want to learn first?

A good one to start on would be one like, "Pony Man." It is a simple G-C-D chord song with an easy to hear thumb and finger style play listening to the record. You start the chord with the thumb on the bass strings and fill in using your fingers plucking the high strings with an up stroke in a pattern. In "Pony" you basically just alter the bass note with each chord change as you keep the pattern going with your fingers on the higher strings. The note changes on the high strings have to flow along as your fingers move chord to chord. I suppose it is similar to playing the bass when you have a set repeatable passage in a song.

Hope this helps you get started.
