Bryn Pugh Tuning a 12 string Guitar (84* d) RE: Tuning a 12 string Guitar 06 Jan 10


There are those who will say that a 12 should be tuned three semitones down from Concert, and then capoed at the third fret.

Incidentally : the third strings should be tuned in unison, not in octaves. This is where the characteristic "jangle" of the 12 derives.

Enjoy, but it is a very different playing technique from the standard guitar.
