YEA LIKE HE SAID,   I just look them up on Jguitar.  I gues I could say G and just drop 1 and 2  a string each LOLOLOL.

Way back when I  was teaching myself the chords I found the  2,3,4 easier + it was a quick drop to C, F and D.  I rearly use the 1,2,3 unless Im playing Every Rose Has Its Thorn since its mostly G and G6sus4 (or C major with out the index) or I Hear the Music D and G.  Come to think of it, I dont even think about it now, i just go for what is more comfy with the changeout.

The other thing to concider is technology.  I think it was Peavy who was one of the first guys to realize the benefit of CNC production for solid guitar bodies.  As quoted :  Peavey embraced state-of-the-art technology to produce guitars at lower cost, becoming the first manufacturer to use computer-controlled machinery to turn out guitar bodies and precision parts. Years later, Peavey recalled, "When we announced that we were making guitar bodies on computer-controlled machinery, some of the most prominent names in the industry said, 'Impossible. Everybody knows you can't make guitars with a computer.' That was a rather simplistic attitude, we thought, because, in fact, we weren't making guitars on computers. We were using ... computer-controlled machines to make precision guitar parts to tolerances that heretofore manufacturers couldn't even think about approaching. Guitar makers are always talking about handcraftsmanship. What handcraftsmanship is, in many instances, is the ability to fit together parts that are produced with a lot of 'slop' in them."
Take it for what you will Peavy is still a great company and their guitars have evolved greatly. (I dont own any yet but its only $$ stopping me   )
This would be why PRS, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUmdzFuv8Zs  Gibson (any naysayers can watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkyXEmmFT2U ) there is a good one on Dean also : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRZxwyiZ1xg ).

Thought you guys wouyld like to see how similar they are all made.

At 12, I have to ask, how mature is she? I ask this because being a girl, she is either pretty mature, having made the leap of hormones, and thinks she knows where she wants to go.  Or the other side, still sorta of a little girl and kind of timid. 

I only bring this up due to your statement of "that if she quits in month or two like kids do".  My older boy is 12 also, Its a hard age for both . I dont remember it too well but I am fairly certain it was rough on me.  Back to the point, Cade (12) Was interested in guitar at 10 and worked to buy his first one.  That was the deal.  If he really wnated it, than he had to learn the 12 chords I let him use my guitar for.  He had 2 friends at the time who were playing (one is so good it kills me to listen to him) and he got into it.  He bought a AXL strat with his own money.  I held up my end and got lessons for him.  Then it fell off for 2 yrs after he stopped lessons, he hardly touched his guitar.  Now at 12 he is starting again.  I think  taking her to Guitar Center is the best thing you could do.  Her hidden power and desire will reflect on what she is drawn to!  --- Ok sorry I sound like Dr.Phill.  Give her the tools and then if your the teacher, ask her what she wants to learn. I wouldnt go heavy on theory, just teach her the songs she wants to learn.  Dont forget a great tool are all the free backing tracks out there. http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/  great site!

Hope it all goes well! Beamer.

I have no hard data either, but I read about 6 bios, all the guys from the great past.  I do not know how Ozzy, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Ace Frehley, Peter Chris, Slash, Nicki Sixx,  Tommy Lee, and all the others I can not remember are still on this earth!

I think lots of the present crop have learned a little from the past.  Yes, many still like to get their drink on and probably like to chill with some wild wood flower, but they have seen the Heroin travistys, though a few still seem to fall to that, and are doing all right getting off on the music and the attention.  Heck! just give me 30,000 people in front of me. NOW THATS A DRUG ALL BY ITS SELF! As Bobby Doll (Poisons bass player) Says "Playing in front of 30.000 fans.... Its better than sex."

So what Capo  do you like for a 12 string? I have seen a coupple that have the different humps in them for the thinner strings.

Well seeing as I dont read your native language its hard to help or know what the whole song is saying.
I googled  " Aishiteru" I think that is perfect for what I think your shoooting for.  In english it looks pretty cool and rolls off the toung pretty nice.   or you could call it EVERMORE  Which has a finality about it.
I dont know what rythm or syncopation to read it in either.

The boss said either day is good! Just let me know when to get everything wired up!

It all depends on what you want to play and how you want to play  it.  how you do it becomes YOUR technique.

Clapton has his tech, as does Zakk Wild as does Santana on to Roy Clark. Find what works for you and keep on truckn'

Only if you have the game   Its kind of like that pic we had circulating around  of the Talent Simulator stomp box  LOLOLOL
