Abstract

Multiphonics on the classical guitar is currently being researched by the present authors in regard to the reproducibility of the sounds originated and the suitability of the technique as a compositional element in writing for amplified guitar. Our hypotheses are to be tested, for which criteria for the data collection and treatment were established and are here detailed.
