Ultimate Rickenbacker 12 string DVD?

Post by tamere »

Hi,

I have a DVD from the Stray Cats, Rumble in Brighton which i I would qualify as the ultimate Gretsch DVD...The concert is incredible, with high quality visuals but there is also so much focus on the actual instruments used by Brian Setzer, including his Gretsch White Falcon and Black Phoenix...

I am a Gretsch player and enjoy watching that DVD for the pleasure of hearing but also watching these beautiful instruments.

I am also fanatical about Rickenbacker 12 strings and I am looking for the same experience offered by that Stray Cats DVD. Is there any good quality live DVDs around featuring and focusing on the electric 12 string?

I like R.E.M., The Smiths and Jeff Buckley but the use of Rick 12 in these artists is sporadic..so I am interested in hearing any suggestions, especially less mainstream artists...

I am also looking for footage of people using the Rickenbacker 12 in a solo voice/guitar setting, I perform extensively with that setup and I find it the best thing ever, better than solo acoustic.

Any tips and suggestions appreciated.

That's a tough one. Although it's designed purely as an instructional video, McGuinn's DVD is the best I can come up with just off the top of my head.

There is also a series of Beatles' instructional videos put out by Rob Taylor that feature some Rickenbacker 12 string. But concert videos.....I'm stuck.
