Guitar Gifts
There are only three weeks left until Christmas Eve. If you are still looking for Christmas Gifts, we have six original and funny Guitar Gifts for you. Now it’s your turn to surprise your duo partners, band members or friends with one of these gadgets. We found those gadgets during our researches for some of our tutorials and we are sure that they are useful or at least amusing for every guitarist. Even a creative idea for crafters can be found in this post.
Our second christmas guitar duo is the well-known song “We Wish you a Merry Christmas”. It is a very simple arrangement for two guitars, but it maybe a bit more difficult than “Silent Night”, because it is a bit faster and has a so-called pick-up note. The tablatures however are easy to read and straight forward to play. We put the names of the chords above the tablatures for the background-guitar to improve readability for advanced players. The second guitar can be replaced by vocals if you prefer to sing the song with your family or friends.
As always, you can find the tablatures as well as some audio files in this post, so that you can start practicing directly. Remember, that there are only three weeks left till Christmas Eve ;o)
Silent Night Tablature
We promised you to publish our new tablatures from our guitar session last week. So today, we want to share the well-known song Silent Night with you. With the given tablatures and audio files, you can start practising the song right away to surprise your families or friends with a christmas guitar duo during christmas holidays.
Silent Night is by the way the most famous christmas song on earth. Originally composed in Austria, it was translated to more than 50 languages.
In our tablature, we arranged two guitars in the simplest way: The background guitar plays decomposed standard chords, and the second guitar adds single notes according to the vocals.
As addition to the tablatures we provide you both guitars as single audio-files so that you can practise the melody for example while listening to the rhythm guitar or vice versa.

Today I want to share an audio preview of our upcoming tablature. I worked on this for about the three days and I’m pretty happy with the result. Maybe there will be a few changes, but when finished, I will publish the tablatures on duochords. So stay tuned for some fresh spanish tablatures on Monday ;o)
I’d appreciate your feedback in the comments. So feel free to leave a message.
Tomorrow we will have our Christmas Guitar Session by the way. Yes, there is still a long time to Christmas, but it is already time to start with practising Christmas Songs. We will probably write down some Tablatures tomorrow as well and we will publish them next week. So you can surprise your family or friends with Christmas Songs on Christmas Eve.
Tuning Equipment
This is the third tutorial of our Beginners Workshop. Today we want to tune a guitar the first time. The tuning of your guitar is very important, even during short practice sessions. If your guitar is out of tune, your chords and riffs will always sound wrong. That does not only reduce the fun while playing but can be very frustrating too (especially for beginners). In this tutorial I will explain the arrangement and designation of the guitar strings and I will introduce different techniques to tune your guitar. Even when you already tuned a guitar a few times, this tutorial might contain some useful tips you did not know yet.
