RESUMO
The guitar is an instrument that has proved capable of producing music in several different textures. It can improvise melodically like a trumpet or a saxophone, it can accompany soloists or play the role of the harmonic instrument in a combo, or it can play solo arrangements and compositions, like a piano or an organ. Such versatility has been one of the most needed attributes to the professional musician since we live in an era that so little investment has been made to make way to live performance music making it difficult to form musical combos. As a result, very often the musician needs to execute, by himself, musical parts originally intended to be played by an entire combo. The proposal of this work is to guide the guitarist in fulfilling this kind of work: the conception of solo arrangements. To achieve this goal, musical elements originated from performance practice will be shown, exemplified and analyzed as solo arrangements excerpts and entire pieces. In a very succinct manner, issues regarding the theory of popular music, as well as issues regarding the history of the instrument which, in Brazil, is called guitarra, will be shown to aid the fulfillment of this work?s proposal. The original solo arrangements within this text are a practical way to demonstrate the different approaches and possibilities that can be raised when arranging for solo guitar and will be done inside the repertoire that involves Brazilian popular music (bossa-nova and the so called MPB, which stands for Brazilian Popular Music) and American and European popular music (jazz and pop)
