GGDGBD Open G 12-string - Guitar tuning, chords & scales

Description - Open G 12-string

Tune the 1st & 2nd in unison, 3rd & 4th in unison, 5th & 6th an octave, 7th & 8th an octave, the 9th & 10th an octave. Now the trick is to tune the 11th low E up to G, and the 12th high E down to D, so that the 11th and 12th strings are a fifth apart, G & D.
