12 String with Mark (JamPlay)

Good course to build fingering strength on the 12-string

I've played 6-string for many years & finally broke down & got a 12-string recently. This a very good 12-string course & thank you Mark. He is a great instructor & enjoyable to listen to. His focus is to strengthen our fingers to the 12-string by using various chord fingerings since it's a different feel & play than the 6-string. Some fingering may be a bit difficult in my opinion, but we need to be able to feel 2 strings under our fingers and apply the appropriate pressure to do so. Some of it seemed a bit redundant, but I understand his method. No problem since the 12-string is a different animal than the 6-string. The only suggestion I have is more focus on scales & barre chords w/ a comparison between the 12-string & the 6-string. Finally, although it helped to be able to slow down the playability of the course on both the web page and the TrueFire app, Mark, just a little slower & close up of both the fingering as well as the strumming hand during instruction would be helpful (thanks!).

12 String with Mark - Get It!

I have been playing acoustic guitar for a long time. I recently purchased the Michael Kelly Forte Porte 12 String Guitar. I knew that it would be helpful to get some techniques specific to the 12 string. Mark's teaching is easy to understand and practical, with real exercises right out of the gat to get you going! Great course for the 12 string curious!

Good course

Excellent Course for Beginner to 12 String Guitar

Easy to follow step by step tuition

Could be better

I was hoping to learn how best to strike the dual strings. Strumming to a particular chord doesn't teach me anything when it's a video course b/c the instructor can't provide feedback. He also uses unnecessarily difficult chords. I would suggest focusing more on how the 12 string is different, how best to get the notes to ring out and how to know for yourself what works & what doesn't. I also had hoped to learn how to strike the strings in arpeggios. He states & shows how great they sound (and they do!), and he shows himself doing it super fast, but that doesn't teach me.
