First-Classic – Tablature

October 11, 2014

This tablature is the first classical acoustic guitar duo on duochords. I wrote it down yesterday and it is completely made-up without being based on any original piece.

DSCN4229It was my first try writing a piece of classical music ever, but i am quite happy with it. At the moment it is still a bit monotonous, but this is one of the common ways to start a classical piece. When i wrote this tablature, i already came up with possible continuations but i prefered to publish it as it is at the moment. First of all i did this to fill gap in the classical tablature section of duochords. But maybe i will continue this piece in the future.

First guitar

The rythm of the first guitar has to be very accurate to fit the second guitar. In the recording, the rythm isn’t perfect at all. Maybe i should have practised this new song first ;o) I think I have to update the audio files in a few days.

Second guitar

The second guitar looks very simple at first glance, but it is a bit tricky too, because it is played fast and the runs are hard to remember. I inserted breaks in the tablature to assist you in finding the right rythm. The rythm is the same in every other line. I think it should be easy to find the right rythm by listening to the single voice:
