Abstract

This work presents a model for computing hand gestures of guitarists, within a broader system for the automatic performance of music scores. The fingering model encapsulates the main physical and bio-mechanical constraints that guitarists deal with in their daily practice, and is based on the CSP framework. It is interfaced with a physical model of the classical guitar, which uses the fingering to compute some sound synthesis parameters. We report on a preliminary test, where the fingerings computed by the model are compared with those provided by three human experts.
