Editor’s Note: This article is based on the text and pictures of a lecture I delivered at the 2007 IARGUS conference in Iowa City. My audience at that conference was rather small, but the subject matter, it seems to me, is of great interest to many who could not have come to Iowa. Hence, I am posting this on line, in the hope that it will be useful to those who are venturing now into this exciting old/new field of guitar music.
Some considerations of its practical use in performance today.
