“…Works dedicated to guitarists’ gestures are not very common, especially those that focus on the strumming technique. They can be grouped into: creative applications in real-time [ 26 , 27 ]; development of new interfaces or augmented instruments [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]; and, performance analysis [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

“…Harrison et al [ 30 ] developed “four guitar-derivative DMIs to be suitable for performing strummed harmonic accompaniments to a folk tune,” and studied the reactions of 32 players (half of them were competent guitarists and the other half non-musicians) to different input modalities and physical forms. Verwulgen et al [ 31 ] implemented two types of ergonomic adaptions to the guitar design and tested them with professional players using a Vicon motion capture system.…”

Computing technologies have opened up a myriad of possibilities for expanding the sonic capabilities of acoustic musical instruments. Musicians nowadays employ a variety of rather inexpensive, wireless sensor-based systems to obtain refined control of interactive musical performances in actual musical situations like live music concerts. It is essential though to clearly understand the capabilities and limitations of such acquisition systems and their potential influence on high-level control of musical processes. In this study, we evaluate one such system composed of an inertial sensor (MetaMotionR) and a hexaphonic nylon guitar for capturing strumming gestures. To characterize this system, we compared it with a high-end commercial motion capture system (Qualisys) typically used in the controlled environments of research laboratories, in two complementary tasks: comparisons of rotational and translational data. For the rotations, we were able to compare our results with those that are found in the literature, obtaining RMSE below 10° for 88% of the curves. The translations were compared in two ways: by double derivation of positional data from the mocap and by double integration of IMU acceleration data. For the task of estimating displacements from acceleration data, we developed a compensative-integration method to deal with the oscillatory character of the strumming, whose approximative results are very dependent on the type of gestures and segmentation; a value of 0.77 was obtained for the average of the normalized covariance coefficients of the displacement magnitudes. Although not in the ideal range, these results point to a clearly acceptable trade-off between the flexibility, portability and low cost of the proposed system when compared to the limited use and cost of the high-end motion capture standard in interactive music setups.

“…Up to date, the topic of classical guitar in scientific research, let alone associated with higher education, is still infrequent. Most existing classical guitar studies are still limited to the physiological aspects of the instrument itself (Lee et al, 2016;Sproßmann et al, 2017;Stanciu et al, 2019;Verwulgen et al, 2020). In addition, there are also studies of classical guitars which relate to musician injuries in professional guitarists (Sánchez-Padilla et al, 2013) and the use of the classical guitar as a tool of creativity in managers and entrepreneur training (Gangi, 2018).…”

The learning process of classical guitar at Yogyakarta Indonesian Institute of the Arts used to be a national reference. Since split into four independent programs and the last curriculum revision, classical guitar teaching across study programs requires hard work amid ambiguous and overlapping curricula. The research aims to uncover the excellence of the old curriculum as a historical foundation in evaluating current models of classical guitar learning. Using qualitative methods with a document analysis and archival approach, this seeks to overview the old curriculum. The research stages include separating primary data from secondary data. The results are then formulated based on primary data. Finally, supporting data was used to corroborate the findings. This study results in an overview of the early structure of seven guitar skill levels and their position in the learning system that prevailed to be complete in the first six semesters. The use of the level structure depended on the course package on different programs and concentrations in the Department of Music. Contributing to the findings of this research is the concept of problem-solving in the current classical guitar curriculum in the music study program as a prototype model of the ideal learning process in the future.
