I have just purchased a £500 Tanglewood 12 string guitar.
it is identical to my six string Tanglewood. I am being a bit ambitious because I have never played a 12 string guitar and have no idea how to tune it.

A friend of mine has warned me it is a right parlava tuning 12 strings? so has usual I turn to Mudcat members for advice. The guitar is now mine so there is no going back. I should receive it the 12 string soon has it is being shipped out the factory within the next couple of days.

I cannot tune a guitar by ear which I think is my friends concern.

Question
Can I buy a 12 string guitar tuner or can I use the guitar tuner I have which is a clip on to tune this new instrument. or indeed must one learn to tune by ear?
Kind regards Pierre.
