This research is a multiple case study carried out with five guitarists in Sobral-CE. The main objective is to understand the processes that mark the formation in multiple contexts of professional and semi-professional guitarists. In this sense, it strives to assimilate the musical training of guitarists Juca Viana, Janilson Braga, Reginaldo Fialho, Luizito Miguel and Almir Martins, guitarists who collaborated in this research. To this end, qualitative interviews, simple observations and documentary research are used as data construction techniques. The theoretical foundation is based on Ferry (1997), Virginio (2009) and García (2005), who deepen the concept of “training”. The guidelines suggested by Green (2002), Kraemer (1995) and Arroyo (2000) present contemporary perspectives in the field of Music Education regarding the multiple contexts in which music teaching and learning practices materialize. The contribution provided by Green (2002) contributed to reflect on the musician's learning processes, and this framework is complemented by Trilla's vision of holistic and synergistic education (et al., 2008). The design adopted was the qualitative approach, which allowed the understanding of each guitarist as a specific being within their practices. Thus, the musicians' experiences are seen in the light of dialogicity and transversality. To this end, Discursive Textual Analysis (ATD) was used as a lens to deal with the constructed data (interviews). The partial data point out that the formation of guitarists is enhanced by the transitivity existing in the formative paths, that is, the multiple sources of information as well as the different contexts of performance of the musicians are configured as contributing aspects to the musical formation of each guitarist.
