If you are one that has an appreciation for the bass, then you really need to check out the 12 string bass guitar. I have to tell you, that there is nowhere to get a better range, it compares with that of a grand piano, seriously. The strings are grouped in courses that are tuned in unison to be played simultaneously, kind of the same as a 12-string guitar.

Bass 12 String Guitar

When beginning to learn the methods of this EBG (extended bass guitar), you will want to tune your strings in one of these two ways C#F#BEADGCFBbEbAb or BEADGCFBbEbAbDbGb and as you hone your style, you will certainly use many other variations. I find that it is best to start with a Novax guitar, as its fret system is easier to use and the strings do not break so much, as they are out at various angles, kind of like a fan. If you have had the opportunity to enjoy the music of acclaimed Jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter, then you have seen the Novax guitar in action, as he uses these exclusively.

With an EBG you will appreciate the ability to walk the bassline while at the same time comping, as well you can achieve the wider voicing's of drop 3 or drop 2+4, creating that truly electrifying experience, what a feel indeed. I have noticed that muting this beast while in plucking mode is all but impossible, but, you can get around that with utilization of the "floating thumb" technique, whereas you use the thumb of your plucking hand to mute the lower strings. This is a little tricky, but, you can learn to do it effectively with practice, in the mean while you can use hair bands.

With the use of two-handed taping, you will be able to do harmonies and melodies with the use of more sophisticated chording. Put both of your hands on the fretboard while pressing down the strings, and you will come up with some truly amazing possibilities. With the two-handed taping or chording method, you will be able to even play a solo, and with the range of the 12 string bass guitar, you will find yourself making the best music of your life.
