  • Guitar Tunings
    Guitar tunings Guitar tunings assign pitches to the open strings of guitars, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and classical guitars. Tunings are described by the particular pitches denoted by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass note) to highest-pitched (thickest string to thinnest).[1] Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest (low E2) to highest (high E4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and The range of a guitar with standard frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning. tuning The term guitar tunings may refer to pitch sets other than standard tuning, also called nonstandard, alternative, or alternate. Some tunings are used for 0:00 MENU particular songs, and might be referred to by the song's title. There are Standard tuning (listen) hundreds of such tunings, often minor variants of established tunings. Communities of guitarists who share a musical tradition often use the same or similar tunings.

  • The Guitar of the Czars the Guitar of the Czars
    The Guitar of the Czars The Guitar of the Czars a new English summary redaction by Marco Bazzotti This is a revision of an article of mine published in the Italian bimonthly "Seicorde" [ Note 1 ], a guitar magazine that ended its life in 1995. To my knowledge it was the first article about this subject published in the Italian language (after the most significant article by Matanya Ophee in a concurrent magazine, which was published some 7 years before mine [ Note 2 ]). I was induced to republish it in English not only to make it available to a wider audience, but also because for editorial purposes part of the original text and all the end notes were cut in the first publication, so I could not give due credit to my references. But it was my first published article, so I was glad for it to appear anyhow. Some years later I noticed also that some of the information contained therein was not completely exact. I decided to leave the text in a form close to its first version, cutting only the interviews with the Russian guitarist M. Goldort and Italian Professor P. Bonaguri, these now having become dated. I preferred to replace almost all the accompanying images with new ones that I have discovered in the following years. Since the collapse of the Berlin wall in It was quite difficult for me to get 1989, the countries of eastern European have information about some Russian guitarists, exploded in a painful big-bang that has due both to the ever-present difficulties in changed the geography of Europe and Asia communication (it is still difficult just to drastically.

  • The Brazilian Seven-String Guitar: Traditions, Techniques and Innovations
    The Brazilian seven-string guitar: Traditions, techniques and innovations Adam John May Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music - Musicology/Ethnomusicology (with course work component) September 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper i Abstract Since the early 1980s a new and unique repertoire has emerged for the seven-string guitar, known in Portuguese as the violão de sete-cordas, a Brazilian instrument typically played in choro ensembles. This thesis demonstrates, through musical analysis, that this new repertoire is a result of two converging musical influences, both the Brazilian six-string guitar repertoire and the traditional accompaniment role of the seven-string guitar in choro ensembles. Choro is a genre of Brazilian instrumental music that developed in Rio de Janeiro during the late nineteenth century and continues to be played throughout Brazil, as well as gaining popularity in other parts of the world. The Brazilian seven-string guitar emerged in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the twentieth-century; photographic evidence and recordings confirm that it was included in choro ensembles as early as the 1910s. Traditionally strung with steel strings and played using a metal thumb-pick, the instrument provides a counterpoint accompaniment line that is generally improvised. In the early 1980s a small number of musicians experimented with the use of nylon strings; this resulted in timbral variations and greater expressive qualities similar to the standard classical guitar. Guitarists began to use this new version of the seven-string guitar as a solo instrument, as well as in other musical settings outside of typical choro groups; this significant development is referred to as the duas escolas or two schools of performance practice.

  • Guitar in Oxford Music Online
    Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Guitar article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/43006 Guitar (Fr. guitare; Ger. Gitarre; It. chitarra; Sp. guitarra; Port.viola; Brazilian Port. violão). A string instrument of the lute family, plucked or strummed, and normally with frets along the fingerboard. It is difficult to define precisely what features distinguish guitars from other members of the lute family, because the name ‘guitar’ has been applied to instruments exhibiting a wide variation in morphology and performing practice. The modern classical guitar has six strings, a wooden resonating chamber with incurved sidewalls and a flat back. Although its earlier history includes periods of neglect as far as art music is concerned, it has always been an instrument of popular appeal, and has become an internationally established concert instrument endowed with an increasing repertory. In the Hornbostel and Sachs classification system the guitar is a ‘composite chordophone’ of the lute type (seeLUTE, §1, andCHORDOPHONE). 1. Structure of the modern guitar. Fig.1 shows the parts of the modern classical guitar. In instruments of the highest quality these have traditionally been made of carefully selected woods: the back and sidewalls of Brazilian rosewood, the neck cedar and the fingerboard ebony; the face or table, acoustically the most important part of the instrument, is of spruce, selected for its resilience, resonance and grain (closeness of grain is considered important, and a good table will have a grain count about 5 or 6 per cm). The table and back are each composed of two symmetrical sections, as is the total circumference of the sidewalls.

Sonata-Etude 67 INTRODUCTION This publication is dedicated to the most inspired period in Matvei Pavlov-Azancheev’s long and challenging musical career, the period between 1928 and 1935. All 30 compositions come from a single manuscript album that the composer dedicated and presented to his student Alexander Maximov. This was a fateful musical offering, because in 1945 Pavlov was thrown into one of Stalin’s “correctional colonies” and all of his possessions, including all the sheet music, were confiscated and/or destroyed. Since this album was not in his possession at the time, it survived. The present two volumes will give a contemporary guitarist a chance to explore a rather daring slice of Russian guitar culture. At times more traditional, at times evoking modernist and constructivist aesthetics, Pavlov-Azancheev’s music will sound fresh and energetic in today’s concerts – so let it be performed, studied, and recorded. THE COMPOSER AND HIS TIME Matvei Stepanovich Pavlov was born on March 10, 1888 in Kursk Region, Russia.

  • A Sleeping Giant Roused
    The Russian Guitar 1800-1850 (7 discs) Oleg Timofeyev and John Schneiderman (guitars) with Etienne Aberlin (violin), Anne Harley (soprano), Dan Caraway (guitar) and Kenneth Slowik (fortepiano) Brilliant Classics 95405, 2016. A Sleeping Giant Roused Stanley Yates © 2017 The past 40 years have witnessed a significant reappraisal of the historical guitar repertoire. Through the release of a multitude of facsimile editions of collected works, along with several survey recordings and a number of academic studies, the music of figures such as Mertz, Regondi, Coste, even Giuliani and Sor (whose music we thought we knew well), along with others whose music we were not so long ago happily oblivious to, is now well appreciated. The same can be said for much of our seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century repertoires (though certainly not all of it). All of this refers to the Western European guitar. While one remaining gap in our general knowledge of the European repertoire lies in the appraisal of the music of the late eighteenth-century, a further even lesser known and perhaps even more deserving repertoire still awaits our broad appreciation: that written in Russia during the early to mid-nineteenth century for the guitar with seven open-tuned strings. The Russian repertoire is interesting for a number of reasons, not least of which are its unique musical- expressive qualities and highly idiomatic approach to guitar music making. While almost always the case in the West, the Russian guitarists only sometimes based their originally composed solo music on pre-existing instrumental models (usually pianistic, much less so violinistic or string-chamber-orchestral).

Generally, the strings on the left will be lower pitched than those on the right, but there are variations including the mountain dulcimer, where the higher melody strings precede their lower pitched counterparts. The note names are listed in scientific pitch notation as used by The Acoustical Society of Amer- ica. If you need know their Helmholtz equivalents we have a free downloadable/printable ver- sion with both systems and their piano keyboard positioning in Volume VI of our Music Workbook series. You’ll find this in the ‘Freebies’ section of FFM. When discussing the configuration of an instrument’s stringing arrangement, you’ll find they are often referred to by the number of strings or by the number of courses. A course is simply a series of strings tuned to the same note (albeit often an octave apart) to be fretted by one finger at the same time. To give an example of this, the mandolin has 8 strings or 4 courses of strings. Steel strings in particular give a ringing or jangly sound when they are arranged in double, triple or quad- ruple courses.
