Having a 12 string guitar I seriously think there are some songs out there where a 12 string guitar is essential for that song.
The Eagles use a lot of 12 string
Where a full bodied sound can be achieved?

Dylan does this number John Brown both on 6 and 12 a String. See utube?
What key should I play "John Brown and what fret does the Capo go on re 12 string?
Kind regards to all Pierre.

I listened to one that sounded like D and another that seemed to be in A (but still didn't find one with a 12string)

I think the 'best' key would be the one you can sing comfortably.

Melissa is so right...The best key for you is the key that's best for your singing...which might be a completely different key than the best key for me.

Thank You very much for responses folks.
Dylan uses 12 string lots and drop D tuning. s. Im now learning about Capo,s and indeed I find it interesting.

I dont mind Capos but Drop D tuning I cant get me head around and it makes a guitar sound so easy which it is not both in sound and body?
but each to there own?
Kindest regards Pierre.
