Music recommendation for music learning: Hotttabs, a multimedia guitar tutor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Music recommendation systems built on top of music information retrieval (MIR) technologies are usually designed to provide new ways to discover and listen to digital music collections. However, they do not typically assist in another important aspect of musical activity, music learning. In this study we present the application Hotttabs, an online music recommendation system dedicated to guitar learning. Hotttabs makes use of The Echo Nest music platform to retrieve the latest popular or “hot” songs based on editorial, social and charts/sales criteria, and YouTube to find relevant guitar video tutorials. The audio tracks of the YouTube videos are processed with an automatic chord extraction algorithm in order to provide a visual feedback of the chord labels synchronised with the video. Guitar tablatures, a form of music notation showing instrument fingerings, are mined from the web and their chord sequences are extracted. The tablatures are then clustered based on the songs’ chord sequences complexity so that guitarists can pick up those adapted to their performance skills.

Clustering of Musical Pieces through Complex Networks: an Assessment over Guitar Solos
Musical pieces can be modeled as complex networks. This fosters innovative ways to categorize music, paving the way towards novel applications in multimedia domains, such as music didactics, multimedia entertainment and digital music generation. Clustering these networks through their main metrics allows grouping similar musical tracks. To show the viability of the approach, we provide results ...

The pitch detection of music sound is one of the important technologies in audio signal processing. It can be used for interactive computer-music performance. In this paper, we consider some characteristics of guitar and proposed a specific and accurate pitch recognition method. Musical notations (MIDI files) are produced from the acoustic wave files. At the same time, the MIDI data will be sen...
متن کاملModeling Embellishment, Timing and Energy Expressive Transformations in Jazz Guitar
Professional musicians manipulate sound properties such as timing, energy, pitch and timbre in order to add expression to their performances. However, there is little quantitative information about how and in which context this manipulation occurs. This is particularly true in Jazz music where learning to play expressively is mostly acquired intuitively. In this paper we describe a machine le...
متن کاملShifting the paradigm of music instruction: implications of embodiment stemming from an augmented reality guitar learning system
Musical instruction often includes materials that can act as a barrier to learning. New technologies using augmented reality may aid in reducing the initial difficulties involved in learning music by lowering these barriers characteristic of traditional instructional materials. Therefore, this set of studies examined a novel augmented reality guitar learning system (i.e., the Fretlight® guitar)...
