Hi, and welcome to my tutorial on how to make your 12-string acoustic guitar easier to play.
_ Back in the old days, when I first got my 12-string, I used to have a real problem pressing down the strings
because on a 12-string guitar, when you tune it E-A-D-G-B-E, the tension is really great on the strings.
So you've got to press down, put some real pressure on there, and no matter how I adjusted it, it still was hard to play.
I talked to my luthier, and he suggested that I tune the guitar a whole step down,
which is not E-A-D-G-B-E, [D] but D [G]-G [Cm]-C _ [F]-F [Am]-A _ [Dm]-D.
_ _ _ And if I wanted the guitar to be in standard tuning, I simply put a capo at the second fret.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Now, with the capo at the second fret, we have E [A]-A [D]-D [G]-G-B _ [Em]-E.
_ Standard tuning.
[A] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[Bm] _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And that's the way I've played my 12-string ever since.
I can play it [Gb] anywhere on the neck, and [Em] it's easy to play.
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ [Gb] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [G] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [G] _ _
_ Well, alright.
That's it for this tutorial.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day.
