Members Freeman Keller Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Since we have been talking about 12 string guitars a lot lately I thought I'd add this Art Sulger - 12-String Cycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brahmz118 Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ahhh, I really want to hear what he does with some of those keys but I can't get the clips to play. It says MP3 downloads are disabled. Streams don't seem to be working either. Thanks for sharing this link Freeman. Do you own this album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They worked just fine for me - I clicked each of the song titles and it launched Win Media player and played away. The "play all tracks" seemed to work too. Not yet LOL but I will shortly.

I just installed the latest iTunes and QuickTime yesterday, maybe that's the issue. I'll seek out a Windows machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each piece plays about halfway thru. I'm definitely ordering the cd - this is just way too cool. Didn't JS Bach do this a few hundred years ago for harpsichord?

Members brahmz118 Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 You might be thinking of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier -- a set of pieces that covered the 12 major keys as well as 12 minor. Chopin also wrote a set of piano preludes in all the major and minor keys. Hindemith wrote an interesting piece of music called Ludus Tonalis, 12 pieces in all the major keys with 11 interludes in between -- and the ending is the beginning played upside down and backwards! I once tried to arrange the Twelve Days of Christmas so that each verse would modulate to a different key. It was a horrible disaster that no one could sing. I think I might just buy this CD without hearing it, just because of the composer's interesting ideas about using open strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall it was some sort of experiment on "tempering" each of the 12 notes so it would be possible to play in every key, the classic delima that we as guitarists face. Not only did I order it, I threw his other 12 string cd in too. But then I'm a junkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks, Dad!! A quick listen to part of one clip was all it took to get me to bookmark the site so I can order the CD on payday. Can't wait to hear the whole thing. You're not the only 12-string junkie around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turn on to that site was my friend (and sometime poster) Eppito who lives in New Orleans, plays a Seagull S12+ (and has written some incredible songs with it regarding Katrina) and I'm trying my darnest to get a couple of his clips up at the Annex.

Oh, yes!! I have yet to hear "TJ's Flute" and you told me it's beautiful. He sent me some great links to flute-git music, then when this 'puter started acting up, I lost a bunch of saved email addresses, including his.
