Resumen
This work aims to explore the musical contents of the Workshop columns of the North
American magazine Guitar Player, from 1990-1995, when the magazine was the most
significant reference for guitarists looking for information and training in the electric guitar.
Observing the informal nature of how this contact was made with the material by the musicians
and how the electric guitar learning generally happens, this work undertook a collective didactic
experience with three other participating guitarists. The phases of this educational activity are
guided by the principles of the concept of self-directed learning, translated into Portuguese in
this work as "aprendizagem autodirigida", as it is already accepted in publications in Brazil, in
the critical and cooperative approach as proposed by the authors Merryl Hammond and Rob
Collins. At first, the participants make individual contact with the material to be studied,
interpreting it only with the resources provided by the descriptive text and the score. From this
interpretation, each participant prepares and records a video performance. In a second phase
during a face-to-face meeting, the impressions of what was studied are shared and discussed,
the original videos collectively appreciated, to provide more resources for profiling
competencies, and to improve technical and instrumental performance. These conclusions and
considerations serve as new guidelines for the preparation of a second performance, also
recorded on video. The discussions of face-to-face meetings are documented in audio
recordings. Audio records and videos allow for a rich experience of knowledge exchange and
for a reliable source of comparison to evaluate the effectiveness of the collective process on the
individual. The learning model adopted proved to be efficient and produced satisfactory
practical results in the evolution of the technique and the performance of the studied material.
