I’m a professional guitar instructor and today I’ll be discussing with you some of the ways of playing 12 string guitar. First off, the 12-string guitar is set up just like a 6 string guitar, except for that we have double the amount of strings. Each string is doubled. For example, your low E string now has the same low E but another string tuned in an octave higher than it. A with another string tuned an octave higher than it. D with another string tuned an octave higher than it. G with another string tuned an octave higher than it. The B strings are both tuned in unison to each other and E strings both tuned in unison to each other. So E and its octave, A and its octave, D and its octave, G and its octave. B, both strings tuned to unison to each other, and E both strings tuned in unison to each other.
