Default "Takoma" - Fingerstyle 12-string on Taylor 355

Here's a new video I made of my tune "Takoma," which is one of the pieces on my new album, Test of Time. I wrote this inspired by the playing of Leo Kottke, Peter Lang, and some of the other Takoma Records players. Both this and the album version are recorded on my 2000 Taylor 355, though the album version is tuned CGDGBD (open G with low C at the bottom), while I'm tuned a whole-step down from that in the video. Enjoy!



You can check out the album version here:

That was cool, Teja, very Kottke-esque for sure! Good song title, too!

Do you mean the harmonics at the beginning at end? Those are open strings that are slightly touched at the 5th, 7th, and 12th frets. If that's not it, let me know what part of the video you mean!
