Your favourite 12 string guitar riff

[MacGuyver]

just looking for people's opinions.

this shows how narrow my scope is of 12 string guitar riffs, but the ones that sounds really cool to me are wanted dead or alive and JTR.

Yes. Yes it does. Check out some Leo Kottkee

also Led Zeps Over the Hills and Far Way, for a more main stream 12 string riff.

Depends on the version. On the Page & Plant acoousitc version he did sometimes. The Led Zep version, the main riff is not. (Its in Dadgad tuning though, if I remember corrrectly)

JTR is deffenitily the best of DMB.

yep, but i love how the main riff does not actually use any of the detuned strings.

I do love raven and big eyed fish too.

IT's not a riff, but more like a progression.
Hotel California by the Eagles is fun to play.

Guitar I (Standard Tuning): Bm F# A E G D Em F#
Guitar II (Raised B Tuning): Em B7 D A C G Am7 B7

Fun Fun

It uses the low Droped D for the main riff.....and the "chorus" progression is dependent on it (to play it the same way, anyways)

most of tim buckley's stuff was played on a 12-string. at least the stuff after his first album "Tim Buckley". Most of his stuff started out as folkiy and progressed into somewhat of a jazz fell and eventually into avant garde
