depends on what you play, a 12 is just like playing a 6 but you're more the less you're playing chords as the strings are grouped together giving it a louder sound. Its more difficult to say play solos on it.
7 on the other hand has a little bit of a wider neck which you get used to, people argue that a 7 strings top strings useless because its so low. But that doesn't mean you can't tune it higher like I do.
my best advice other than trying it is to play a 6 string in low B tuning (with heavy gauge strings) and see if you like it. B isn't a good tuning unless you have very thick strings.

Is it harder to learn to play on one guitar or to learn to play on different guitars?
If the question is is it harder to learn to play one guitar THAN it is to learn to play several different guitars at the same time, then in my opinion, it is easier to learn to play by using only one guitar. Start with a 6 string guitar, maybe an acoustic guitar. Get used to that one particular guitar. Then graduate to another guitar, same acoustic type but larger. The frets are the same but the feel is different. then go on to an electric guitar. I've played piano for a long time and I've learned to feel the vibrations the sounds create. Same with the guitar. I need to feel the vibrations. The electric guitar doesn't give much vibrations; so, I prefer the acoustic. Graduate to the base guitar (different guitar altogether). Now it's only 4 strings (unless you're adventuresome and go with a 5-string . . .) Maybe this explanation will help.
Can you help me with my 12 string guitar?
Normally a 12 string is just 6 pairs of strings. The guitar can be tuned normally EADGBE (low to high) and the smaller strings of the pairs tuned an octave higher than their mate. Except the high E string which is in unison because the high "E"s are the same gauge string. Then it should play like a 6 string guitar.
Are electric guitar lessons harder than guitar lessons?
Yes electric guitar lessons are harder than guitar lessons because you are dealing with an electrical guitar compared to a regular one that doesnt need the amplifier to power it
How do you play a double neck guitar?
Usually on a double neck guitar one is a 6 string and one is a 12 string. All a 12 string is is a 6 string guitar, but for every string there's an octave higher string right next to it, and when you play you hold both those strings down at the same time, giving you a little fuller and different sound than a 6 string. So I guess the player just switches when he wants to between the two. However, some double-necks vary in number of strings. If you really want to play, go and buy a basic do-it-yourself double-neck guitar teaching book...like i did....

What does the mean on a guitar tab?
an X on a tab, simply means to gently lay your finger over that string, to make it sound a bit distorted, or a bit muted. the sound only differs from string to string, but makes no difference where it is played (which fret). To perform it do this: Put your finger on the string, but do not add as much pressure as if you were to play that string. This is not very hard, but harder to explain than it is to perform!:) Good luck;) it can also be called a dead string It can also mean you don't have to play that string

Should you buy a 4 or 5 string base guitar?
A 4-string bass guitar might be a better guitar to buy for the beginner. It is easier to play than the 5-string bass. The 50string bass can be good for more intermediate players. Because of its extended range, it gives off a better quality of sound.
