So Much Fun to Play on My 12-String!
As an adult learner, I absolutely love this songbook! It's so much fun to finally play songs by artists like Bob Dylan and Dave Matthews Band on my 12-string. The "easy to intermediate" arrangements mean I can actually sound great without too much struggle. The combination of tab and chords makes it achievable and enjoyable for weekend playing.

Solid Gig Book for 12-String Essentials
A practical compilation for any 12-string player. The "tab, chords and lyrics" format is quick to reference, essential for gigs. Arrangements are streamlined, capturing the essence of popular standards and pop tunes, making them easy to adapt for requests. While some might be simpler than originals, it's a reliable book for a varied setlist.

Well laid out, but.....
Although many of the songs are correct in their transcription, it should be pointed out that some of them are not 12 string specific, in fact they were recorded on 6 string guitars. Quite a few of the songs are irrelevant, and could have been replaced with at lear half a dozen that I could think of. That said, most of the songs are very well transcribed, if missing a verse or two. Good value for money if you can overlook the shortcomings.
