My understanding about 12 strings was that the 3 lowest sounding strings, each have 1 string normal and 1 string an octave higher, and that for the 3 highest sounding strings, each have 2 strings normal.

However, on the d-shaped chord it sounds as though the g string has a string an octave higher.

Have I been told wrong, and that on a 12 string all 6 strings have a string an octave higher?

Cheers for any help.

I was always under the impression that only the E & B strings were the same, and that the other four were all an octave higher.

Only b and e are the same.

ahhhhh, that explains everything. Cheers folks!

Great job, everyone.
