Capo on Friend of Mine??
Capo on Friend of Mine??
Ok, I'm not sure if it was ever determined if the TTT albumn version of "He was a Friend of Mine" was done with a 6 or 12 string...I think someone said a 12..doesn't sound like it to me ..but that might just be my hearing?..so my next question is..does anyone know if a capo was used on the 2nd or 3rd fret? Still stumped on the picking in D.
Reality checks in life are like Sound Checks, we need to do them more often.
The song was done Without a capo. And it Is on an acoustic 12string, a Martin that Croz let Roger use for the song. Apparently, this 12 string is the same one Croz refers to that was originally a D-18 6 string, later "converted" to a 12, by someone in the 60s.I emailed Roger about this a few years back, and later, Croz as well, who verified the account.
