In this work, I have been investigating the subject of solo guitar. I was interested in exploring some of the different methods that are being and have been used for performing music on the instrument in this context. I explored some of the techniques and sounds that have been used by instrumentalists before me and composed various exercises that would allow me to incorporate them in my own music. The techniques studied varied from right-hand fingerpicking patterns used in classical guitar pieces to ways of incorporating electronic effect-pedals in solo guitar music. Inspired by the music and techniques that were studied I also composed and arranged music for solo guitar. I concluded the work by conducting a concert/recording where I combined fully arranged compositions with freely improvised sections. The purpose of this work was to deepen the understanding of the guitar and its role as a solo instrument concerning harmony, rhythm, improvisation and tone. Both the technical and creative aspects of the work have improved my playing during the process and have influenced how I perform music and intend to do so in the future. The process provided me with a clearer understanding of my musical strengths and weaknesses, particularly through self-recording and analysis. The compositions and arrangements worked on revealed different aspects throughout the process, showing me that less detailed arrangements allowed for bigger opportunities of improvisation during performance for me. / <p>Andas - Albin Ormegard</p><p>Etyd #1 - Albin Ormegard</p><p>Naked Truth - Albin Ormegard</p><p>Broder - Albin Ormegard</p><p>Like Someone In Love - Jimmy Van Heusen</p><p>For once - Albin Ormegard</p><p></p><p>Albin Ormegard - Guitar/Composition</p>
