Lower strings
052...040...032...022...015...012
022...018...012...012...015...012
Third tip: Use a wired string for the octave-A string.
Most sets deliver an unwounded octave-A string ( 10-th string).
Fourth tip: Use a plastic thumb-pick , medium or heavy ,but no fingerpicks on your fingers.
Tuning to C
Let's do some excercises. I prefer it in an open tuning, because a twelve string sounds great if you use an open tuning.
Let's take the C-tuning, in this case: CGCGCD
Important: In the Mp3 samples you will hear the guitar lower. This is because I use heavy strings and lowered two notes more.
I suggest you listen only to the picking and then play it in your own tuning.
