12 - string alternative tunings

[Securb]

I was playing around with the 12-string this morning and tuned it E/G - A/C - D/F - G/G - B/B - E/E it gives a very eerie sound for single notes. I haven't really gotten my brain around voicing chords yet in this tuning. The few chord fingerings I have played with sound kind of cool. I am wondering if anyone has any cool 12-sting voicings they use they would like to share.

Also, if you play a cool 12-string, please share pictures.

So you have a minor third happening on each of the lower three strings and then duplicating the upper strings . . . I bet that would infuse your single note stuff with a dark/sad sort of tone.

I know Genesis used all sorts of weird 12 string tunings...many with a capo, played alongside another retuned 12 string. Old interviews with Mike Rutherford would probably reveal them.

Very dark!
