The 12 string guitar can be played in exactly the same way as a normal 6 string guitar. The strings are arranged in pairs and also tuned in pairs to exactly the same pattern as the 6 string, the usual E-A-D-G-B-E. However, the lower four pairs of strings (E-A-D-G) are tuned in octaves whereas the top two pairs are in unison. So, if the strings are tuned the same, what is the point of having a 12 string guitar at all? The answer of course is the wonderful ringing tone which the instrument produces. The pairs of strings vibrating together give the instrument an almost organ-like sound and much greater carrying power than the traditional acoustic guitar.
