Tuning

“The Family” applies to all tunings and it is no obstacle what-so-ever to participate with an instrument tuned in any different way.

There is a recommended tuning used by a large majority of the circle members.

From bottom to top:
Bb F C G D A C D

Instruments

Any kind of touch-style and guitar like instrument usually work. For maximum playing comfort (especially for beginners), we recommend the 8-string instruments made by Warr Guitars™ or Touch Guitars®.

If you like to get your very own U8 or U10 this is the last chance to preorder for this year.We stop the preorder at the end of August '23. There are still a few spots available for the August run. You can choose finish, wood, pickup and color.U8As with the U8 Deluxe, the U8 is based on the original 2008 Touch Guitar prototype. It features a simplified design at a lower price. This model is a well-crafted instrument manufactured to high standards. It is more suitable for entry-level touchstyle playing, while remaining entirely appropriate for professional performance as well. U8: www.touchguitars.com/models-specs/u8basic/U10The U10 is a further development of the U8, produced at the same build quality but featuring the extended playing range provided by 10 strings. It’s also a stereophonic Touch Guitar, aimed at players who might wish to focus on and differentiate the instrument’s polyphonic abilities.U10: www.touchguitars.com/models-specs/u10basic/If you have questions regarding the preorder, instrument, tuning, pickups .... just check our FAQ or send us a message.

Hey, Markus Reuter here.Just a quick text update for those who are into learning touch guitar (with me and a great group of other players). 2023 is the 3rd in a series of year-long touch guitar courses. There are about 5 open spaces, including one that's partially sponsored by another participant.Here's the basic info on this year's "at-a-distance" video course. Write to me to confirm your participation, or with any questions you may have. The course will start on January 31st and will conclude in the 4th week of December. The minimum contribution per person is 680 EUR but can go up to 3000 EUR, depending on what you can afford for the whole course/year. It's encouraged that you start with everyone else, but joining later is also possible without any problems. Despite the wide range of topics, this course is for beginners as well as advanced players. There's something in there for everyone, and you can pace yourself as you like. I will be available via email and Slack at all times.Here's an overview of the topics that we will tackle:Chromatic Bracket: Level 3 (8 adjacent chromatic notes on 1, 2, and 3 strings), Chord voicings (focus on the 5th tuning), Grandfather exerciseImprovisation: "Harmonic" and "Free"Playing Bach: Monophonic pieces, fingering according to chromatic bracket studiesExtended Techniques: Approaches and exercises for slides and string bendingThere will be about 30 video lessons plus Zoom meetings and my constant availability. Please let me know if you're in and how much you can contribute. As before, it will be possible to pay in installments throughout the year after your've made an initial downpayment. Best wishes,Markus p.s. There's also last year's "Chromatic Bracket" course available for those who want to work without the interactive part. ... See MoreSee Less
