Solo para ceja ...

Classical guitar
Solo para ceja ...
From a biography on a classical guitarist. The full sentence is "Solo para ceja en el V traste del diapasón, y de ligados respectivamente."
I have translated it as "Solo for the bridge on the V fret on the fingerboards and slurs respectively."
Could anyone with a knowledge of music please tell me if my translation makes any sense? This is the last question, honest!

Solo with capo on the 5th fret..
Declined
Since nobody else has ventured an asnwer.. here´s mine. As far as I know, "ceja" in a guitar is called "capo" in English.

The "bridge" is located on the main body of the gu
itar, not on the fretboard.

: I'm just a drummer, but this sounds right.-although a guitar has a bridge, a song has a section called a bridge also. perhaps that's what being refferenced here.

solo piece with the cejilla placed on the fifth fret

The ceja in english is the nut. It is the piece at the top of the neck. The bridge is located on the body. The cejilla, or capo, is an apparatus that can be placed across the neck behind a particular fret to change the key of the guitar. The V fret I take to be the 5th fret making the key A-flat/G-sharp. This is rather unusual in classic guitar, but very common in flamenco. My guess is the biographer wasn't familiar with the various terminology of the guitar and wrote an impossible to translate sentence. Ed
