Estudos para violão de Radamés Gnattali reimaginados sob a perspectiva da guitarra elétrica e suas diversas possibilidades texturais e sonoras

Abstract

This thesis describes the process of creating arrangements for some of the studies contained in Radamés Gnattali's series of Ten Studies for Guitar, played on the electric guitar. The experimentation of playing works written for acoustic guitar on the electric guitar involves several questions and challenges regarding the textural and sonic possibilities of the electric guitar, including different picking techniques (alternating, sweep, hybrid) and effects pedals. From the perspective of artistic research and the field diary documenting the creative process, the implications and challenges of reimagining a new instrument are discussed. Finally, the research details the application of these techniques and effects in each of the chosen studies.
