Interesting 12 String Superslide tuning

Post by Bill McCloskey »

I recently purchased a D12 Superslide. The back neck has Reece's Ext C6 12 string tuning and I played with different things for the front neck. Finally settled on this one which I haven't seen in my spreadsheet collection of 10 and 12 string tunings. High to low, it is simply a standard E9 pedal steel tuning and I've added an A above each G# to give the Pedal Steel B pedal down intervals. Nice tuning. I can get a I IV V on a single fret and things line up beautifully for single note work. From High to Low:

F#
D#
A

E
