The Magpick provides the gui- tarist with nuanced control of the sound that coexists with traditional plucking-hand technique. The paper presents three ways that the signal from the pick can modulate the guitar sound, followed by a case study of its use in which 11 guitarists tested the Magpick for five days and composed a piece with it.

  • Guitar Best Practices Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 Nafme Council for Guitar
    Guitar Best Practices Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 Many schools today offer guitar classes and guitar ensembles as a form of music instruction. While guitar is a popular music choice for students to take, there are many teachers offering instruction where guitar is their secondary instrument. The NAfME Guitar Council collaborated and compiled lists of Guitar Best Practices for each year of study. They comprise a set of technical skills, music experiences, and music theory knowledge that guitar students should know through their scholastic career. As a Guitar Council, we have taken careful consideration to ensure that the lists are applicable to middle school and high school guitar class instruction, and may be covered through a wide variety of method books and music styles (classical, country, folk, jazz, pop). All items on the list can be performed on acoustic, classical, and/or electric guitars. NAfME Council for Guitar Education Best Practices Outline for a Year One Guitar Class YEAR ONE - At the completion of year one, students will be able to: 1. Perform using correct sitting posture and appropriate hand positions 2. Play a sixteen measure melody composed with eighth notes at a moderate tempo using alternate picking 3. Read standard music notation and play on all six strings in first position up to the fourth fret 4. Play melodies in the keys C major, a minor, G major, e minor, D major, b minor, F major and d minor 5. Play one octave scales including C major, G major, A major, D major and E major in first position 6.

Guitar Performance in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Paul Sparks By 1800 guitars with six single strings (tuned EAdgbe') had become the norm. The rosette gave way to an open sound hole, while the neck was lengthened and fitted with a raised fingerboard extending to the sound hole. Nineteen fixed metal frets eventually became standard, the top note sounding b". The bridge was raised, the body enlarged, and fan-strutting introduced beneath the table to support higher tension strings. Treble strings were made of gut (superseded by more durable nylon after World War 11), bass strings from metal wound on silk (or, more recently, nylon floss). Tablature became obsolete, guitar music being universally written in the treble clef, sounding an octave lower than written. By the 1820s makers such as Louis Panormo of London were replacing wooden tuning pegs with machine heads for more precise tuning, and creating the prototype of the modem classical guitar (a design perfected in mid-century by Antonio Torres).

  • RASGUEADOS on the Classical Guitar Level 4
    RASGUEADOS on the classical Guitar Level 4 RASGUEADOS Rasgueados are an elaborate form of strumming, using down strokes and up strokes with both the fingers and thumb. Rasgueados can be played to defined rhythms or as musical gestures. They can be exciting, spectacular and even heroic in pieces such as Asturias by Isaac Albeniz and Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. There are many combinations that can be played and the composer does not always give instructions as to where the down or up strokes are - often writing just rasgueado (or rasg.) above the passage. Sometimes a rasgueado is not specified at all, or a chord may only have the strum/arpeggiato symbol, and the guitarist decides that a rasgueado, rather than a strum with p, would be exciting at that point. The player often needs to decide which rasgueado sounds best - choosing which finger combinations/groups to use and where to play the down and up strokes. To be able to choose, the guitarist needs to know the possibilities, and this tutorial covers rasgueados that demonstrate the various finger movements/strokes which can be combined and adapted to the context. The Spanish word rasgueado is onomatopoeic and descriptive. It is probably derived from rasguñado – grazed or scratched. Appropriately, has the word uña (fingernail) embedded. raspado - scraped – which can colloquially also mean ‘with no manners!’ rasgado - ripped, torn. Together with the rolled Spanish ‘r’ they all give a sense of the qualities the rasgueados can have! Pronunciation: RA(t)S - GUE(ss ) - A(t) -DO(n) > q e e e Rasgueados can be boisterous and if those around you tell you to ‘put a sock in it’1 - take them at their word - take the sock, thread it through the strings to mute them - and carry on practising! 1‘be quiet!’ Level 4: Rasgueados 1 The rasgueados in this tutorial are played with pima.2 The following pages contain descriptions of the finger/hand movements in rasgueados, when they are played slowly.

  • Assistive Technology Individual Guitar String Plucker
    Assistive Technology Individual Guitar String Plucker A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by: Jia Cheng Zhou Lorenzo Dube Michael Eaton Andonios Kouninis Professor Holly K. Ault, Advisor Submitted on March 23, 2018 This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students. It has been submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. Abstract Music has the ability to help children and adults with developmental disabilities grow cognitively and engage socially. The goal of this project is to design a device to allow people with various physical abilities to pluck individual guitar strings. For this device, custom acrylic plectrums, each attached to two electromagnetic actuators, are suspended above the sound hole or pickups of the guitar on a mounting plate. A wooden frame clamping to the body of the guitar supports the mounting plate. Two Arduino Uno microcontrollers facilitate the alternating triggering of the actuator pairs. The mechanism can successfully pluck each individual guitar string, but will require improved coding and mounting design to allow for easier component adjustments based on guitar size and type. ii Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii List of
