Ambient chillout (part 1) – Tablature

During the recent weeks, I found some nice ambient radio stations and enjoyed listening to this kind of calm and not distracting music. Because of the bad weather here in Essen I just picked up my guitar and wrote down a slow and easy duo tablature for two guitars. It is not very long, but i think it is more than just a snippet. I will continue this tablature with further parts in the future, but this part will remain as it is.

Here is how it sounds when both guitars play together:

Both guitars are very easy to play. The first one contains two barré chords, so it might be a bit more exhausting. To provide you some assistance while practicing this tablature, I recorded both guitars separately, so that you can practise the other part respectively.

Feel free to leave your comments at the bottom of this post.

guitar 1

The first part contains the short intro and a variant of it as background music. There is not much diversity in that part, so it will be easy to remember.

guitar 2

The second part contains the melody and is a bit more complex. There are nearly no chords in it but single tones. That makes it harder to remember but still very easy to play.
