Exploring the Hidden Resources of the Classical Guitar : An Inquiry into Techniques to Enhance the Range and the Chordal Possibilities of the Instrument for Compositional Purposes. / Utforskning av de dolda resurserna hos den klassiska gitarren : En undersökning av tekniker för att öka instrumentets omfång och ackordsmöjligheter för kompositionsändamål.

Description

In this paper, the limitations of the six-string classical guitar in terms of chordal possibilities and range are discussed, and ways are presented to overcome those limitations. The study describes some of the problems and limitations that the author experiences when composing for the instrument he plays. Moreover, some solutions that partly overcome these issues are presented and discussed. The presented solutions are drawn from the literature as well as developed through personal insights. In addition, conclusions regarding the practical usage of the presented solutions are drawn from the personal experiences of the author when incorporating them in two short compositions composed for this specific study.
