Opis

The study of guitar technique aims to provide tools capable of enabling musical expression. This research investigated the different lines of technical conduct contained in the guitar methods we consider traditional. The main aim was to identify the divergent and convergent points between the methods, as well as to elucidate elements and concepts that have directly influenced current attitudes towards the instrument. To this end, this work comprises three chapters: the first consists of an exposition of the structural changes in the guitar that led to the emergence of new technical approaches, as well as a historical and bibliographical survey of 17th, 18th and 19th century guitar methods. The second chapter identifies and discusses the main elements that characterize the proposals of each method. In the last chapter, we discuss the results based on the theoretical foundations, considerations regarding the possibilities of execution and distinctions made through the study of the methods.
