Abstract	The guitar is an extremely versatile instrument. It can produce complex chords and arpeggiated textures as readily as single-note melodies. In the twentieth century alone, it has appeared in a wide range of genres; classical, jazz, blues, rock, and bossa nova compose a partial list. The guitar is also a difficult instrument. Inconsistencies across the guitar's structural and notational systems create an environment in which guitarists struggle against the instrument to develop their own musical awareness. The role of the guitar in the context of Western music suggests a lingering incompatibility with traditional academic musicianship. In this article, the author discusses the structural, notational, historical, and current issues that can help students and instructors further advance the study and appreciation of the guitar. He concludes with some suggestions. (Contains 8 figures, 8 notes and 16 resources.) (ERIC).
