Pro tip. 1) Learn to tune by ear immediately, because it helps you to begin ear training, saves you money and allows you to have more control and awareness over your tuning in general. 2) Use a very thick, flat pick because you can play stronger, faster, louder and with less floppy pick noise... and learn to play with only fingers flamenco/classical style. you don't actually need a pick and can put your pointer and thumb together and use the tip of your pointer finger as the pick and you can play like that and do palm muting, tremelo, ect, anything done with a pick can be done with just your pointer finger and thumb.
@@JayFreely They don't really work right most of the time and honestly I can totally tune a guitar faster and better then anyone that pulls out their phone to do it. Do whatever you want.

@@dickrichard626 . Hey DR, Amazingly enough, watching any classic video of yesteryear ( any famous artist really, or not so famous) will show the guitar hero tuning by ear in less than 20 seconds…Roy Clark, Campbell, Croce, ad infinitum- They all came of age having to learn it “old school” because that’s just how it was done after all 😎. That’s part of why they are awesome musicians: it’s called mastering the basics.
@Victor Yanez Good luck! Wash your hands before practice, wipe down guitar/strings when done, keep it in the case when not playing, watch the humidity and temperature levels. Practice daily. Fair winds and following seas to all.

What difference would it make if you switched out to the double strings instead of having a higher octave. I did the double strings to my first takamine because I was learning to play corridos which sounds great but I kind of like the way the higher octave sounds too
Learning songs on a 6 string can be a challenge when playing them on a 12 string; whereas you're used to hearing the lower octave when picking down but the higher octave rings out. Just a thing to work through.
I'm 61, and decided to actually learn to play. I'm considering just getting a 12 string and rolling with it. Been plunking on 6 Strings for decades, but never anything serious. Can't even read music. LoL
Guys, I am a visually impaired individual, I need some advice. Do you guys know of any 12 string, 25.5 scale length, but I want it 50 MM nut size, if you know, a particular brand, please leave a message here I would really appreciate that. Most of them are 48 MM, and my fingers are thick and I would like one at least 50
As far as fingerpicking goes, id suggest all begineers start on 12 strings, they are easier to play than 6 (tune down half step ), and its easier to accidentally sound more musical when you have an octave option picking up or down. 12 strings feel (physicaly)flat to the finger tips = double the surface area to hit on target= better tactile feedback, double the learning = easier to finger pick vs single strings. In other words, 12 string is more forgiving in innacuracy of the attack of the finger pick. Ive been playing 35 years and 12string is easier than 6 and tuning is easier than a 6 when every string has an octave partner to learn and hear the value of the nuance of resonance and harmonics when you figure out the octaves sound better when they are a few cents off from each other
Pro tip.
1. Invest in a good chromatic tuner
2. Use a thin pick

Mystery explained in 20 seconds. Thanks brother
I think the main difference between a 6 string guitar and a 12 string guitar is there are 6 more strings on a 12 string guitar 🤔.
That's crazy cause I always thought a 12 string was just half the number of strings as a 12 string with a normal 6 strings added to it
Big brain shit
Who can live without that sound?

Beautiful 150e! I’d love to have it for myself. I hope to one day start learning 12 string acoustic.
Toca la de Tolin infante cuh
You should play the intro to the Beatles song” I’ve just seen a face” it would be much more impressive!

Very hard,very well
Thought you were gonna play wish you were here, quite the unexpected surprise
No quema cuh
This is great....
12 string hopefully by next 15th pay day.
Wow!!
thanks
❤❤❤❤
Amazing, y like it.. just think of the day you dread. Yes, a new set of string and changing them! . Pins all over the place jajj.. 😂
My first guitar has sisters And my second guitar has four springs
I was bout to start square dancing
I learned on a 12 string. Ma said it would build finger strength faster
So you’re doing good at playing now?
@@Zahramush been playing since '02, but I wouldn't say I'm all that good

It sounds so Lynyrd Skynyrd
The third strings must be inverted if you want to play with your fingers
Cuatro next ?
I like off tune the double e and the double b a couple htz to give ot some twang
People like Jr. Brown come up with guitars like this
the only thing is like how do change so much strings

Is that a good 12 string ?
Yes. It’s a Taylor 150e. Very good guitar.
PSA
Now play some Zeppelin riffs
Giant mandolin
Taylor is this really you?
Learn to play then give tutorial.... Ain't it just ain't it 😎 lols
Pro playing a 12 sting guitar, still sounds like a 6 string one.
Do you enjoy playing guitar but it's just too simple to tune? Well step this way.

Changing the strings takes a fortnight 😅🤷♂️

Just slap some double strings
Ha…
Every Eagles song be like….
Thus Rob Scallon dissed you
twice as many strings twice as many cuts

Imagine changing the strings 💀
After seeing this i think 6 string guitar is for pussies same as non alcoholic beer 😂
