What in the world do I do with the top 2 strings? I can add a D and a G to the top, but then I've got another string too. My guitar has no changes on those two top ones, so....what would you do? (other than sell it and get a 10 string...you jokers  )
Thanks for any suggestions
Nathan

I would have the G on string 3. The D string on string 1. B on string 2.

| I like Richard's thinking. G plus two diatonic reentrants. |

Excellent question. ..
Anyone have an opinion on adding a D near the middle like this. .bottom to top:
CFAC D EGACEGD
I really want that D but am concerned it will ruin my muscle memory. |

| I have an F and a D on top, so my strings from top to bottom are FDGECAGECAFC. |

I do that with a pedal, like Buddy did for a while. F-A, A-C, and C-D. |

Actually I made a couple of changes since then
(LKV and P10)
| Tab: |
LKL LKV LKR 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 RKL RKR
G -F#
E -Eb +F ++F#
D +Eb -C#
C -B ++D
A +Bb -Ab +Bb,++B
G --F -F#
E +F -Eb ++F#
D -C#
C -B
A +Bb
F +F# -E ++G
C ++D ---A
|
but I still don't play it. I took it out once this year and played for about 20 minutes and gave up. So maybe it's a bad tuning. |

There is one other option for a left-over 12th string, and I can't remember who did it, which is to have a sub-bass F at the bottom.

I play a Carter D12 and a non-pedal 12
My pedal C6 from top to bottom is DGECAGECAFCF
My non-peda; from top to bottom is DBGECAGECAFC
I find this array works for the style I play.

Doug: can you put a finger on what you don't like about your coped?
Jim: thx for Buddy's copedent. Did he give any opinions on what he thought of that double C? |

My Bb6 S12 is:
1 C
2 G
3 F
4 D
5 Bb
6 G
7 F
8 D
9 Bb
10 G
11 Eb
12 C
Not sure why you'd need a reentrant maj7 when there's several ways to get it with the pedals, but I do have one on my 12 string non pedal
