    Nashville Tuning And Normal Tunings

    Glad you like it Marze hope it helped. Here's another great technique. After recording your acoustic, double it. Then if you have another acoustic guitar put thinner strings on the E A D G strings tune just these 4 strings up an octave higher. It's great like a cleaner 12 string sound when mixed. This video will explain it a little more. https://youtu.be/pRKDOiUMbAQ Start watching at about 6 mins in

    Nashville tuning. I didn't watch the video, but the usual method is to play the part on the normal strung guitar and the Nashville strung guitar and pan the two tracks hard left and right to give the feeling of a stereo 12 string.
    Current:
    GTH-1

    Completed:
    AST-1FB
    First Act ME276 (resurrected curb-side find)
    ES-5V
    Scratchie lapsteel
    Custom ST-1 12 String
    JBA-4
    TL-1TB
    Scratch Lapsteel
    Meinl DIY Cajon
    Cigar Box lap steel

    Wishing:
    Baritone
    Open D/Standard Double 6 twin neck

    Exactly using the Nashville tuning mixed with a normal guitar tuning on another guitar, does give a sound that is different to a 12 string. its also easier to pick individual strings notes too. But do also love my 12 string guitar. its a great option when you don't have a 12 string guitar but want the chords to ring out or want clearer acoustic riffs.
