Its been 8 years and we’re still waiting 🥺

Firstly, you're an awesome guitarist. That guitar sounds a little fret slappy though. Did you try adjusting the action a little?

writers block😉😉

Ante Meridiem 😊

I was thinking about doing the same thing on my Taylor 12-string after seeing this video today. Bet it will sounds better, and may help with that B-string tuning issue.

I'll bet that sounds great!

How you getting on man?

Sorry to hear about your uncle 😢 he'll be remembered as you play this gift.

Lucky fella your uncle was

This is 8 years later. I hope you're well and playing that 12 string

@@christys.5024 I Hope that it wasn't Haunted....he's not answering anyone back..poor guy..and he seemed so Happy to get it!

anthony jonson And you sir are very ignorant, have a nice day

anthony jonson He apologized, there is no reason for that whatsoever.

character development right here

Victor Jones that is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. How many incredible bands have their been with guitarists who can't sing. By your logic the only type of guitarist that should exist is a singer songwriter.

Victor Jones that's good advice if the only thing you want out of guitar is to go to parties and play 3 chord pop songs to impress your dumb friends

Jesus, man... :')

You don't know how hard I laughed.

LOL! I was going to ask him if he was related!

Lmao

Ha ha norm McDonald

Octaves in general sound divine

fft2020 But do they djent like 7-string baritone, 8-string, 9-string guitars?

What you are hearing in this video is "Divine Djent". At 12-Strings it just sounds like that.

it's a drone. if you like those you'll LOVE hammered dulcimer!

Not only do I have a 12-string guitar, but I also have a 10-string banjo. The double strings are the sound of the gods.

J2013 Check out Dick Rosmini if you really want to learn something.

I'll swap you a new set of strings for the 1968 Gibson! lol

@@kingrobert1st That's alright, I gave it back to him because it didn't play good. The bridge saddle was warped forward and needed a lot of expensive work.

Cool, thanks! Have you checked out the full website for all content? www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

Well learn how to play standard 6-string guitar and then play a 12-string guitar

Winsto25 KZfaq has playback option to slow it down.

I just bought one. Your in for a treat! Have fun

Well, you still need accuracy and you *will* benefit from it. No use to practice it for hours and hours but putting a bit of accurracy exercises in your practice now and then wouldn't hurt? I reckon you'll be doing mostly chord work so expanding your chord knowledge on a 12 string will help you sounding lush , like this one for example: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/lush-acoustic-chords-w-drone-strings-1-ca-001 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant

@@justinguitar thank you so. Love those lush sounds. There are heavenly. Exactly what I wanted.

Guild makes the best 12 string guitars.

Powertuber1000 indeed

Powertuber1000 Yes, I agree. I have a guild 12 string I bought in 1983. It is still a nice guitar and has held up all this time. The action is high though, which makes it hard to press. It is good for finger strengthening.

what do you mean when you can feel it in your gut when you play?

+Sophia D. When you play an acoustic 12 string, you literally feel a physical rumble much more than a regular acoustic. The sound is deeper and much more resonant, so when it's next to your body it is a physical sensation. It's true particularly when playing chords and strumming hard, like Justin is doing in the demo. This is due to a few factors: (1) double the amount of strings, (2) 12 strings are often times tuned down one whole tone making the low notes lower, and (3) the body size of 12 strings is (I think) generally large and deep. So, when I play a 12 string I do physically feel it in my (very ample!) gut. Hope that helps and, yes - Justin is really making that guitar sing in then opener to this demo. He's a super player.

Melanie it's so easy . If you can tune the 6 string than no worries , you can tune 12 strings the thinner strings are just the octive above . But just hit the same both strings together so the waver of the sound will be off it will waiver. Just wind the higher string until the sound comes into one straight hum. But just make sure the regular 6 strings are in tune A 440 or any tunage you want at that time , either open cord like, open "G", Open "B", or Open "A" and so on and so on. Just make sure the regular 6 strings are in tune first of all to give you what ever tuning you want. All you have to do it make sure the thinner string comes into tune with the regular string you are tuning at that time. Just make sure the thin string that is with either one of the 6 strings either low E ,A,D,G,B,High E. just make sure the thin string beside each regular string rings in tune with that string your tuning with. It's just a little tricky just trying to hit the thinner string without hitting anything else to hear the waver clearly. But it really is simple. ounce you get used to it. after awhile you will get used to open tuning with out harmonics or straight tuning with one finger down at the 7th fret or 12 fret to the 7th fret. There are many ways of tuning the best you can. Plus it all boils down to if your guitar is intonated well because some guitars have problems with the "D" & "G" strings when tuning usually because the intonation is out. But just make sure all the thin strings that are with one of each 6 strings . Just make sure when you hit both of them alone together and make sure the sound waiver is straight, one constant hum. Not if it is waivering up and down. Bring it together until it does not waiver anymore. Do that for every one of the six strings with the thin one's as well and you should have you12 in tune.

Mikey Micstar Sprunt / High School Drop -Outs Wow.. awesome tips. I don't have a problem hitting strings together it was just the octave thing. You did mention the 12th fret.. is that an octave higher? Can the first 4 skinny strings be tuned by the 12th fret being hit on the heavier strings? Thankfully the last 2 set of strings are tuned the same! I've barely played this guitar. I said forget it. And the neck is soooo heavy lol. But it's gorgeous and I've always wanted one!! Its time!!

Hey there. Yes to the 12th fret if you are tuning regular 440 or lower . Allot of 12 strings are tuned in 335 because it's less strain on the neck. But what ever you tune to the higher string gets tuned together with the thicker. But here is what your asking I think. If you tune your guitar from the very start to get the normal 6 strings in tune you can do it many different ways. But the way your asking is for every string you tune on the regular 6. just say your doing the low "E" you hit the harmonic at the twelfth fret open and hit the "A" string with your finger pushing down on the "A"string on the 7th fret and you hit the harmonic open and right after the "A" string with your finger down on the 7th fret one right after the other and listen for the waver of the harmonic and the note and make the waver blend together so it just is a hum not anymore wavering, make it so it is a straight flow then do the same with the "A" String & the "D" string next the "D" & the "G" next "G" & "B" then "B" & High "E" the only difference is on the "G"&"B" your finger pushes down on the "B" String on the 8th fret instead of like the others at the 7th fret. it's only when you tune the "G"&"B" always the lower string which is always the the string above the other or the thicker string is hit harmonically at the twelfth fret and push your finger down on the higher string which is thinner which is below the "G" string, put your finger down on the 8th fret on the 2nd string. And if you want to do it that way , it can be sometimes a little tricky trying to just hit the one string at a time between the thicker strings and the thinner ones. because you want to make sure you get each string nice and clear so you can tune by the wavering of the notes combined together to bring the waver to just a straight note between both notes that you hit. There are different ways of tunning. Actually you can look for the on you tube . different tuning ways. good luck. keep up the faith!!! forever.

Mikey Micstar Sprunt / High School Drop -Outs Oh my gosh.. I'm going to have to read that over and over. Wow.. so complicated.. lol. Guess it's going to take me a bit. Thank you soooo much for your help and taking the time to explain it all. I mean it can't be that difficult. I think I'm over complicating things as usual. And I'm just using a guitar tuner app cause the tuner thingy that came with it, well I had no idea what those numbers meant and where to go with that. Whew, makes me swet just thinking about it lol. Yikes!!

You tube has tones of different tuning, just type in "12 string guitar tuning" and lots will come up to choose from that shows you every different way of tuning your twelve. It seems complicated because I described , Well tried to describe two different styles of picking into one parragragh. But just type in what i said. You Tube has every type of tuning there is just check all the vids to choose from and find the best one that suits you. You can follow them showing you everything string by string and just hit your string in tune with the guy in the vid and you'll be in tune. I tried, Good Luck

William Hagen 'Soon'? Mine has been tuned to E for 41 years and no neck reset in sight.
