The term "Classical guitar music" can refer to any
kind of art music played on a nylon string guitar, or
more narrowly to music of the classical period,
as opposed to baroque or romantic music. The major feature of classical
fingerstyle technique is that it enables solo rendition of harmony and polyphonic music
in much the same manner as the piano can. The technique is
intended to maximise the degree of control over the musical dynamics, texture,
volume and timbral characteristics of the guitar. Careful attention is paid to
the physical posture of the player. Thumb, index, middle and ring fingers are
all employed for plucking. Chords are often plucked, with strums being reserved
for emphasis. The repertoire varies in terms of keys, modes, rhythms and
cultural influences. Altered tunings are rarely employed, with the exception of
Dropped D.
