No problem! A twelve string is really simple to play,you play it like a six string guitar.You need to push down on two strings instead of one because they are so close together. Electronic tuners are a big plus when tuning them,you tune them just like a six string too.The smaller size strings are actually an octave higher than a regular strings,but with a electronic tuner,they're all the same and it's done automaticly.To get chords,I would find a Mel Bel or a Hal Leonard book for beginners,and a gospel songbook for easy guitar,learn four chords,G,C,Dand E minor,get a capo to raise the pitch of songs and keys and you're off playing in no time!

Correct.

The low E, A, D and G strings are tuned in octaves...each pair of strings is tuned an octave apart...and then the B and high E pairs are tuned in unison...the same pitch.
Music theory is not always music reality.
