Fretted Plucked String Instruments, Part 1


Description
Presenter: Patrick Janson, Vice Chair, Music Braille Committee

Date: Monday, June 15, 2020

Description: Transcribing music for fretted plucked instruments is complicated by the fact that there are many different instruments in different sources (guitar, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, etc.). In this two-part presentation, we’ll look over the approaches of staff notation, left-hand fingering, string signs, plucking, and more.

This is the first in a two part series.
