Abstract

This paper describes the determination of optimal finger position for guitar performance for melodies. In general, when performing a given melody with a guitar, several finger positions are possible, and when beginners are playing, often it is difficult to determine a fingering position. In this paper, the authors propose a method to determine finger positions that minimize the burden on performance and remove a burden on novice guitar players, and then describe “S2T,” a system which outputs these results as tablature. The authors then confirm based on the results of a performance evaluation of S2T that it requires less burden than commercially available systems. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
