Twelve string guitars are not that much different from a six string guitar. A twelve string guitar has twelve strings but they are put into six different courses. This is made so when you play a cord, really two are playing at once so the sound is more eccentric and better sound and quality. Although there are still twelve tuners on this crazy guitar.

These guitars come in electric and acoustic, which ever one you prefer. Playing these twelve string guitars are not that much different or harder to play. As long as you already know how to play a six string guitar. If you don’t know how to play a six string guitar, learn how to play one and then it will be a whole lot easier to play the whole twelve strings.

When playing twelve string guitars, the two strings put together are usually played at the same time. If you have the twelve string guitar in front of you, you should definitely tune it first before you play it. There is no sense in playing a guitar that has not been tuned yet. To tune the twelve string, all you have to do is tune it the same way you would tune a six string guitar. To tune a six string you have to tune it like E B G D A E. The lower string are a octave apart however. So that’s the only difference. So if you wanted to tune your twelve string guitar all you have to do is tune it like EE BB GG D octave D A octave A E octave E. Its just about the same except for the chords being paired up in twos right?

Once you are done tuning your twelve string guitar, you are ready to get out there and play it. Hold it just like a six string, adjust your hands on it just like a six string, and finally, play it just like a six string. All you have to do is just play the two strings paired up together as one chord. You are ready to rock on!
