Recommended for twelve-string guitar players, this volume examines the history of intervallic tunings, as well as how to use them on the twelve-string guitar. Twelve-string guitars are an ideal instrument for intervallic tunings. Briefly stated, intervallic tuning systems tune the string courses to non-standard intervals other than octave or unison.
