Touch Guitar CirclE

The Touch Guitar Circle (TGC) is a private study group founded and led by Markus Reuter that follows a systematic approach to playing tapping/touchstyle instruments. This approach consists of a set of interrelated exercises that facilitate ergonomic, relaxed playing while covering all aspects of how to efficiently navigate the fretboard. Exercises utilized within the TGC undergo ongoing discussion, revision, and enhancement to best support touchstyle players.

TGC gatherings are held both in person and online throughout the year and encompass group practice, discussions, and refinement of this unique approach. TGC offerings are open to players of all types of touchstyle instruments, not just those that play Touch Guitars®.

With TGC members located all around the world, you can develop your skills and understanding with support from a diverse community of touchstyle players of all levels. Regardless of your level of skill, the TGC is an invaluable support system for your musical journey.
