You may have noticed, that we do not post any tablatures of famous musicians/bands at the moment. The reasons are some complicated copyright issues on tablatures of well-known songs. We did everything we could to get licenses for publishing those tablatures on our website but it will take some time until our request will be processed. In this short post, I want to discuss some of the copyright issues. Furthermore I will introduce our current strategy for keeping up duochords with a subset of the already planned songs and explain your advantages from it.

infographic about acoustic guitars

Infographics are cool. They are everywhere on the web. They look great and we get to know some facts by the way. They are often easier to understand and better to remember than text only

We want to follow this trend and therefore designed an infographic about acoustic guitars. It explains the different parts of an acoustic guitar in detail and describes the differences between classical and western guitars. I did not find a similar graphic on the web with all information and a clean design and thought it could be useful (especially for beginners).

the standard position

In this short tutorial, I want to show you how to hold your guitar correctly.

Before we start to learn our first chords to play the guitar, we have to hold it correctly. Holding the guitar properly does not only influence your whole picking and strumming techniques but is also very important to prevent medical problems with your back in the future, after several years of playing the guitar. We start with the right sitting position and the according angles of the guitar and your hands. But for “coolness” and convenience reasons, we will talk about a few relaxed positions for everyday and outdoor usage at the end of the article too.

this is my choice of guitars

Before you start playing the guitar, it is important to choose the right one. In this article, we discuss some of the aspects you should think about before you can decide which one fits your needs. At the end of this post, we provide some recommendations for specific acoustic guitar models.

Why Acoustic?

First of all you should know that this post only considers acoustic guitars. But even if you want to play an electric guitar, an acoustic one could be the right choice at the beginning of your “career” for several reasons.

New tablatures in development

At the weekend, I was working on some new tablatures for our next sessions and for publishing on this website. They are not completed yet, but I decided to share a short preview for some feedback.

Like all the other tablatures on duochord, it is a guitar duo for two acoustic guitars. It is based on a pattern Fabian and I developed about two years ago. The original pattern will be used in the intro (which is not part of the sample) but the following sample already contains a variation of it. It is still a draft and there will be some changes, especially in the top part. But I hope you like it so far.
