The methodology used for the operationalization of this research is qualitative in nature. In this sense, techniques such as biographical approach, analysis of photographs, archives, interviews, as well as studies that involve the praxisology of Pierre Bourdieu and the concepts of memory, trajectory and microhistory were used. As regards the theoretical basis used, it is worth mentioning the works of Bourdieu (2012, 2011, 2009, 2004, 1996), Ginzburg (2006), Peixoto (2011), Candeau (2014), Momberger (2012) and Certeau .

In the context of the city of Fortaleza-CE, José Mário de Araújo is pointed out in the research as the main legitimating agent of the guitar teaching field, resulting from the appropriation of cultural capital that was later internalized and converted into advantages.
