To rock or to pick? That seemed to be struggle that played out on this old cassette that I recently dug up and digitized.
This is another 12-string fingerstyle tune in an alternate tuning (Cc Gg Cc gg gc ce). I played around with tuning the double-coursed strings to different notes.

It's very, very nice. There's not much I can say, other that I really like these old tapes you are rescuing. Looking forward to the next one.

Seconding micayetoca, I really love these old tapes. I think I'll make a playlist just for them, if you have more to upload.

This sounds really good... and the ol' "guitar as percussion instrument" trick works well here, too.
