I recorded a new longer version of this song on my cd "Blues and Gospel from the 78rpm Era" avcailable at Youtune Records (cd or download) www.youtunerecords.com

Rising - Original Acoustic 12 String Guitar - Soldier Song
Click more for info & lyrics: Probably obvious what the song is about. It's called Rising because that's what they call you in school between years. Rising Senior if you completed your Junior year. In this case, these people are Rising vets - they have completed their tours but cannot go home yet. I am not on a big soapbox or anything - it's just a song. Sure, I would like to see our troops come home. I served as US Army Infantry in my younger days and it's a tough haul. I really can't imagine what those kids are going through now. It's a bad scene all around and that's all I am gonna say about it. The song backbone came from my Original Piece I posted, here: www.youtube.com And was inspired to change it up by wildyoda2, who came up with some suggestions which gave it a darker feel which fit the lyrics and gave me a release for all the emotion that working on the Final Cut songs was putting into me. Strange how things work. Hope you like the song. Lyrics: -------------- Am I changed by Things I've seen Can't remember who I was Give all I am dark sets in Hoping I will still be loved Chorus: Bullets may fly days are all pain fear soaked nights I'll find my way back home Am I still me things I've done each day brings back tests of faith Do I become less a man To hope I can save my life Chorus Bright light shines down where you are I send my heart Stay a while Be as with one shining back I give my world for your smile Chorus ------- Edit: JJFRASERJJ did an awesome cover of <b>...</b>

Twelve-string guitar
:This article is about guitars with 6 courses. For guitars with more than six separate strings, see extended-range classical guitar or ten-string guitar.
The twelve-string guitar is an acoustic or electric guitar with 12 strings in 6 courses, which produces a richer, more ringing tone than a standard six-string guitar. Essentially, it is a type of guitar with a natural chorus effect due to the subtle differences in the frequencies produced by each of the two strings on each course.

How to play the 12-string guitar
Design
The strings are placed in courses of two strings each that are usually played together. The two strings in each bass course are normally tuned an octave apart, while each pair of strings in the treble courses are tuned in unison. The tuning of the second string in the third course (G) varies: some players use a unison string while others prefer the distinctive high-pitched, bell-like quality an octave string makes in this position. Some players, either in search of distinctive tone or for ease of playing, will remove some of the doubled strings. For example, removing the higher octave from the three bass courses simplifies playing running bass lines, but keeps the extra treble strings for the full strums.The strings are generally arranged such that the first string of each pair to be struck on a downward strum is the higher octave string; however, this arrangement was reversed by Rickenbacker on their electric 360/12.
The tension placed on the instrument by the strings is high, and because of this, 12 string guitars have a reputation for warping after a few years of use. Some twelve-string guitars have non-traditional structural supports to prevent or postpone such a fate, at the expense of appearance and tone. Until recently, (Post the invention of the truss rod) twelve-string guitars were nearly universally tuned lower than the traditional EADGBE, to reduce the stresses on the instrument. Leadbelly may have used a low C-tuning.
Some performers prefer the richness of an open tuning due to its near-orchestral sound. For a very complex plucked-string sound, the 12-string can be set to standard tuning (or possibly an octave lower), then the top one and low two string pairs can be tuned to whole-tone intervals. The usual gamut of guitar tunings are also available. Many performers who play the twelve-string guitar use an ordinary six-string guitar as their primary instrument, switching to the twelve-string guitar for certain songs that seem to call for a brighter sound.
Because it is substantially more difficult to pluck individual strings on the twelve-string guitar, and almost impossible to bend notes tunefully, the instrument is rarely used for lead musical parts. 12-string guitar is however primarily suited to a rhythm or accompaniment role and is often used in folk songs and some popular music. Some hard rock and progressive rock musicians use double-necked guitars, which have both six-string and twelve-string components, allowing the guitarist easy transition between different sounds.
The greater number of strings complicates playing, particularly for the plucking (or picking) hand. The gap between the dual-string courses is usually narrower than that between the single-string courses of a conventional six-string guitar, so more precision is required with pick or fingertip when not simply strumming chords. The pairing of thin, easily broken octave strings with larger, stiffer bass strings presents difficulties to the player also, and only a very skilled player can reliably pluck single strings from within a course at any speed (notably the very high octave G string, which is the highest-pitched string on the instrument). Nevertheless, with practice, the twelve-string guitar is not unduly difficult to play. It is, however, generally used in a fairly restricted role that emphasizes its strengths: rich ringing, full-bodied chords, and fast, rippling single plucked notes on the twinned strings. Twelve-string guitars are made in both acoustic and electric form. However, it is the acoustic type that is most common.
Chorus effect
The double ranks of strings of the 12-string guitar produce a chorus effect, because the individual string sounds with roughly the same timbre and nearly (but never exactly) the same pitch converge and are perceived as one. When the effect is produced successfully, none of the constituent sounds is perceived as being out of tune because of the minute difference in pitch. The interference between the slightly different frequencies produces a phenomenon known as a beat that manifests itself as the periodic rise and fall of intensity is considered pleasing to the ear. The effect is more apparent when listening to notes that sustain for longer periods of time.
Nashville (E9) Tuning
The Nashville Tuning, or E9 Tuning, attempts to emulate the chorus, or jangle-like quality of the 12-string guitar on a 6-string guitar by tuning the last 4 strings an octave higher. This is commonly used in recording studios to double-track an existing guitar to achieve a natural 12-string effect. Very light strings must be used to achieve this, as well as adjustments to the guitar neck in order to avoid long term damage to the instrument.
Usage
Use of twelve-string guitar almost appears to be cyclical: beginning with Blind Willie McTell in the '20s and '30s, Lead Belly in the '40s, and continuing with Bob Gibson in the '50s and early '60s, performers and Gibson acolytes such as Mike Pender of The Searchers, Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, and singer-songwriter Tim Buckley brought it to the fore for a decade, until it fell out of favor and was largely limited to niche use by progressive rockers in the 1970s. The instrument was revived in the 1980s by alternative rockers such as Robert Smith of The Cure, Slash of Guns N' Roses, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Dave Gregory of XTC, Peter Buck of R.E.M., Marty Willson-Piper of The Church, and Johnny Marr of The Smiths. During the 1990s, its popularity waned again, although it plays a key part in the sound of indie rock acts such as Low and The Decemberists. Another exception was Warren Zevon, who utilized a 12-string regularly, most notably on his solo live LP Learning to Flinch (on which the guitar seemed characteristically out of tune on some songs). The most popular electric twelve-string model since the 1960s has been the Rickenbacker 360/12, first popularized by George Harrison. Many double-neck guitars have a twelve-string neck so guitarists can switch between tones during live performances. Slash and Dave Mustaine often appeared on their live shows bearing a double neck which added to their popularity. Acoustic twelve-string guitar is rarely played in the finger picking style due to the difficulty in applying the finger style to the instrument. Leo Kottke and Guthrie Thomas are the most notable performers who finger style pick the acoustic twelve-string masterfully. {| class="wikitable sortable" |- ! Song Name !!
