guitar duet

Two fretted instruments

A guitar duet is a musical piece or performance featuring two guitarists playing together.

The term covers both composed works written specifically for two guitars and informal arrangements where guitarists collaborate: They performed a classical guitar duet at the recital.

The interplay between two guitars allows for rich harmonies and counterpoint that a single instrument cannot achieve alone.
