I agree 12 string should be able to withstand the "strain" but have another question though since I'm still at the crawling stage in playing guitar I find it extremely difficult to get the barre chords on my 12 string, so my question do you guys think that extra light guage strings would do the trick.

thanx in advance and oh yes by the way its great to be back its been a while

my grandpa started to teach me when i was still in primary school but he fell ill and passed away so guess what i inherited his old gibson but could'nt play it yet, but the desire to be able to play kept burnin inside of me.

now almost twenty years later i was still struggling to play and  talking to someone one day i knew for a while but never knew he could play guitar and when we got on the subject he told me to bring my guitar and he will teach me...Yes you guessed correct i still have my gibson and i was so proud...till he told me i need a new guitar.

anyway i went out and bought my 12 string(well with only 6 strings on it at the time) and went back to my mentor and guess what in about a month i was playing my first song, boy was i proud of myself and on the other hand this whole experience made me aware of things that i have been taking for granted over the past couple of years as my guitar teacher is a firm believer and only teaches me gospel songs.

so thats my story and by the way my gibson will be a whopping 100 years old this year... so now you understand why i was told i need a new guitar lol

Hello everyone I'm new to chordie and still brand spanking new when it comes to playing guitar as well, but just need some advise please. I bought myself a good second hand 12 string Yamaha acoustic guitar but started out learning with only the 6 strings.
I now decided to try playing the full 12 strings, I simply can't get enough of the beautiful sound but am struggling to play all the chords. The ones I know that is lol.
Now my question, should I first play with 6 strings till I'm really comfortable and jamming or should I just keep on practicing with the 12

Thx hope you guys can advise me on this
