Claims

  1. GuitarSet provides acoustic guitar recordings, made with a hexaphonic pickup, with time-aligned annotations of string and fret positions, chords, beats, downbeats, and playing style, useful for tasks including beat and downbeat tracking.
    "The dataset contains recordings of a variety of musical excerpts played on an acoustic guitar, along with time-aligned annotations of string and fret positions, chords, beats, downbeats, and playing style. We conclude with an analysis of new challenges presented by this data, and see that it is interesting for a wide variety of tasks in addition to guitar transcription, including performance analysis, beat/downbeat tracking, and chord estimation."
