Guitar chord forum - chordie → Acoustic → 12 string tuning
I picked up a 12 string acoustic over the weekend and I'm having some trouble tuning it. I use a digital tuner for my six string, but I cant figure out how to use it on the 12 string. The basic 6 strings tune fine in E,A,D,G,B,E, but I cant find the tuning for the other high six strings. Can anyone tell me what the high strings are suposed to be tuned at?
They are E A D G B and E, too. Everything is just an octave up.
To clarify (if necessary!), on the 4 lowest strings, E A D G, each pair of strings is tuned an octave apart. On the B and high E strings, the tuning is in unison (i.e. each pair of strings is tuned to the same pitch)
The last 2 pair of (the thin strings) are tuned exactly the same B and E, NO DIFFERENCE, only the 4x2 strings are different, but E still remains E, the big string= E, the thin = E, as jerome told and rmancc
Thans, I'll give it a try.
I use a web site called Get-tuned.com its free.
