[New 12 String Mike]

OK Ken,

Yes, I'm a player and for a long time.

I've found Wayne's chords to be right when I've chosen to use them. When I watch Gord play, say on the "Live at Reno" DVD, the chords match right up. I really can't answer for any of the books.

Since we've not met and I don't know how advanced a player you are, please allow me a couple of dumb questions:

Are you trying to pay along with recordings?

Are you using a capo, usually at the 2nd fret while you're playing?

If you answered YES to 1 and NO to 2, that may be your answer. Gord tends to always play 1 full tone up on the six and at the 2nd or 3rd fret on the 12-strings.

If those questions insulted you, it wasn't intended.

Please let me know a more specific question.

I don't play M and M much. Any other players that do, have any tips?
