For this AG Sessions in Location, Rhett Miller plays “This House Got Ghosts,” from Old 97’s’ latest record, Twelfth. The whole record is a testimony to the acoustic guitar’s home in rock music; Miller digs into his instrument, driving together with the rhythm area while electric lead lines rip.
Alone with his Gibson Songwriter 12-string (tuned down a whole step, to D G C F A D), Miller brings a lovely shimmer to the driving rhythm of the tune.
Towards completion of the video, recorded in Hudson Valley, NY, Miller reveals off a couple other Gibsons in his arsenal: a J-200 (“It’s a workhorse!”) and a 1964 B-25.
