How To Tune Your Guitar (6 String and 12 Strings) 

Start with six string since it’s easier

Im sorry if its to late and you brought a 6 string because of the other reply but basically 12 string are like 6 string guitar but they have 2 string witch tunes to the same note but the are in octaves (the same note except one is higher and one is a bit lower) and the higher thin strings arent and his pares are the same size in the string because he doubles them up meaning he uses the same string so all of them aren’t octaves in octaves qnd the reason his twelve strings have 11 strings is because the the doubled strings put a bunch more pressure on the fret board and neck so he has one less on the low E string so that it releases the pressure from the fret board and neck 😅

​@@nanothingsandstuff3119So he switched out his octave strings right? He replaced them with the same steel strings and tuned them in pairs right?

@@ES-vh7kr yes, you have to get 2 packs of the 6 string strings and then pair them up 👍

Just buy two six string packs I recommend elixirs cause they sound good in general and if your playing Mexican regional music

he uses Elixir 10/47 strings

Recording another video Friday. Got editing to do so hopefully out this weekend

@@SethCottengim I’ll be ready for when it releases 🙏🏼🔥

Aver like wdym maybe i can help

Absolutely yes! Everything just down the neck of the guitar 2 frets.

@@SethCottengim Thank you bro going to try that!

@@SethCottengimdo you do this for the main purpose of taking tension off the neck? Or are there other benefits as in sound

Nah you can play six strings in standard if you want.

Yes! It’s the same as 12 string but I can record some using the 6

You can still do it on octaves. But a lot of musicians who like Latin music put pair’s because it sounds good, now I may be incorrect but it’s what I’ve heard around

​@@kemyer6404Yea but it sounds weird in octaves imo. Especially the G strings. It just doesn't sound right with corridos.

​@@kemyer6404do you know if Seth replaced his octave strings with steel strings or how do you tune them in pairs?

I don't think there is a better starter 12 string guitar than the D'Angelico. I also think it sounds perfect for the regional Mexican genre.

​@@SethCottengimDid you change the octave strings on your guitar?

yes, capo is just to be able to play songs that are in standard tune

capo goes on the 2nd fret for standard tuning

I did indeed 🤝🏻

@@SethCottengim and you replaced them with some elixir bronze strings right? Except the B and E strings since they're already in pairs. Anyways thanks for clearing that up man. Your a beast 🔥🐐

@@ES-vh7kr yes the elixir 10 | 47 strings I just replaced all of them and left off one of the Low E strings to reduce tension

@@SethCottengim Got it. I appreciate you responding man. When is the requinto for "Ella Baila Sola" - Eslabón Ermado y Peso Pluma dropping?
