So the sound on these is richer? Sounds good for studio recording ^_^

Are they tough to get used to?

You don't use as many barre chords, which can fatigue the fretting hand other than that, just like playing a 6 string

I just finished putting new strings on my Seagull 12 string and this video was the first video of my subscriptions that was on my page. Classic.

I love the sound of D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Lights on my 12 string.

Awesome! I love it when things work out that way. Keep singing, strumming and video-ing, my Canadian bro!

The high e (the second one) was sharp :)

When I tune the higher G string it always break. Any tips?

[JeffBend]

Sometimes, if you want to play the root of F chord you can use thumb on the 6th string. It's called "Thumb Technique".

I am getting one of these soon, I am curious to a thing with tuning, would you say its easier to tune the regular 6 strings first as normal, then tune the other 6 ?

Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it. I should be expecting my first 12 string any day now.

But, I need some advice. Would you recommend me just getting two sets of 6 strings to put on my 12 string, or should I buy a set specially made for 12 string guitars?

I'm glad it's so simple, I figured it would be twice as complicated :P

What string gauges are you using? everytime i try to tune the octave G-string always snaps..and its like the third time, and im tired of switching out the string everytime.
