: can you tell me how many octaves up or down we are supposed to tune an old 12 string to, basically an idiots guide as this is my first 12 string
top 2 sets of strings are both tuned to an E. Fat string is tuned to your normal E note like a 6 string guitar. the other E string to tuned an octave higher like at the 12th fret. same goes for all the strings except for the bottom 2 sets of strings which are both tuned to the same pitch, not at different octaves.:
E
E 12th

A 12th

D 12th
G
