Mary On A Cross - Ghost - 12-String Acoustic COVER

Mary On A Cross has been my all-time favourite Ghost track since I first heard it driving to work one morning back in September of 2019 (LONG BEFORE THE 2022 VIRAL STRANGER THINGS TIK TOK!!!). The arrangement of harmony vocals on the original recording is what stunned me; I believe this song to be Tobias's best showcase of harmony singing and genius.


Guitar is tuned-down to E-flat and played in the key of A-flat minor. I slightly tweaked a few lyrics too.


The guitar used is a Takamine GD30CE 12-String. Recorded via an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Reverb added to video audio with an app called VideoVerb.


-Song: Mary On A Cross
-Artist: Ghost
-Album: Seven Inches of Satanic Panic (2019)


I do not own rights to this music at all; I am merely covering the original song written by Tobias Forge.


R.I.P. To my guitar teacher Mark Walsh (1961-2019). THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME! Additional thanks to Fretz Music Center in Souderton, PA.


Thank you for taking time to listen.


PEACE, LOVE, ROCK & LIGHT!!!
