- I hope I wrote the table correctly, correct me just in case. Thanks.

- On a 12-string guitar, the standard tuning sequence is eE, aA , dD, gG, BB, EE.
The four lower, thicker strings are paired with thinner strings. These thinner strings are the same note as their pair but are tuned an octave higher. Notice that the two higher, thinner strings are paired with strings of the same thickness. These two pairs (BB,ee) are tuned to the exact same note and the same octave.

- It used to be common to tune down a 12-string guitar half a step down to reduce tension on the neck. One of the benefits of tuning your guitar a step down is that you can still play any song written in standard tuning if you have a capo. Just place the capo on the first fret to put your guitar in standard tuning. Tuning your guitar down a half step can reduce the pressure of the strings, making it easier to play.
