Try placing a capo in reverse, i.e. so the capo catches the bottom 5 strings and lets the sixth string ring open, capo at 2nd fret. Play a D, you get great lower resonance. Play a G, as you would in standard tuning, as well as C, F, A on the 6th fret. Try a Dm position six frets above the capo, slid the ring finger up one fret, and then down one fret, then move the Dm position down two frets, do the same slide up with the ring finger , now you have the chord formation for "Everybody's Talkin At Me" or "All My Lifes A Circle" as a medley. I tune my 12 string (Guild 1968 212 xl with med gauge strings, no wound octaves, one full note down, so that when the capo is on the 2nd fret, I'm at standard A and play the hell out of anything in D.
