Hello early guitarists,
I just received a query: “Do you know the earliest publications for lute and/or
guitar in which harmonics were used?”
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jocelyn
According to Oleg Timofeyev:
[Semion Aksionov] "apparently invented the special effect in guitar
playing known today as artificial harmonics" which is explained in a
guitar method in 1819.
But natural harmonics must have predated this.
