Picked up a 12-string Rick and it dawned on me, I have no clue how to tune it. Did some Googling and found handy chart below. I just want to make sure I understand correctly. Tuning 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b is straight-forward, as is 3a, 4a, 5a and 6a.
If I understand correctly, to tune 3b, 4b, 5b and 6b, I need to tune them an octave higher, as stated in the chart. According to the instructions in the link below, one way to get the higher octave, is to fret the string at the 12th fret. So, when I fret the string at the 12th fret, I pick the string and the note on the tuner is the note I need to tune to when I play the string open?
Any other handy tips?
