What is the basic skill of guitar?

The basic training methods of folk songs and classical guitars are basically the same at first. Classical guitar has strict requirements on the plucking method and strength of the right hand. It is recommended to practice folk guitar by playing classical guitar, which will make your pop-up sound fuller and sound more powerful.

Below, I will specifically introduce the right hand plucking method:

1. First of all, the hand posture: when the palm and wrist are completely relaxed, lift them obliquely under the guitar sound hole and keep the wrist at a certain height (beginners can put their thumbs on six strings to fix the wrist height). The other fingers are lightly placed on one string to three strings.

2. When plucking the strings, press the strings obliquely inward with your fingers, and then lift them quickly in the direction of your palm. Note that the stressed joint is the third joint of the finger (the position of the finger root). The palm, wrist and all parts of the body should be relaxed, and which finger will be stressed when plucking the string. The thumb moves in different directions. Move vertically downward after applying force, and the method of applying force is the same as that of other fingers. Let's stop here this time. We can learn from each other. Next time, I will talk about the method of pressing strings and the movement principle of the left hand.

The second lecture is about the method and music theory of left-handed string pressing.

Regarding the left hand, I mainly talk about two aspects.

Correct posture of left hand:

1 Thumb is the fulcrum of left-handed string pressing action, and its position cannot be ignored. We can use the abscissa and ordinate to determine the position of the left thumb.

(1) level: the thumb basically faces the running position of two fingers, that is, if the position of two fingers is in the second product, then the position of the thumb is also in the second product. Of course there are exceptions. If the handle of the rope is wide, the thumb can be between two fingers and three fingers.

(2) Longitudinal: it is located in the middle of the neck and should not exceed the four-string position. This is mainly because of the convenience of pressing chords horizontally on time. Classical guitars are more strict in this respect. Sometimes the thumb will be in the position of two strings or one string, so that the fingers will not be restricted when pressing the strings. You can walk freely on the piano.

2 according to the angle and strength of the string:

(1) When pressing the string, it is required that the first joint of one to four fingers is perpendicular to the string (the little finger is perpendicular as far as possible), and the wrist should be relaxed as far as possible without retracting; Elbows open naturally. Use the third joint to exert force. What needs special attention is that other fingers that are not stressed should be as close as possible to the strings to maintain their tension and lay the foundation for improving the speed in the future.

(2) While learning guitar, we should master some knowledge of music theory, and friends who play folk songs should pay more attention to it, so as to lay the foundation for improvisation and song creation in the future.

The basic music theory includes the following contents: the composition of major and minor scales, intervals (from one degree to eight degrees), the composition of chords (triads, sevens, chords (third and seventh degrees), chords (third and seventh degrees) and their transposition. These contents are all in the music theory book, so you may wish to have a look.

Next time, I will talk about the basic practice methods.

Third, talk about the practice method of the right hand

The practice method I'm talking about here is most helpful to beginners of classical guitar, because playing classical guitar requires very flexible fingers, and a series of training from easy to difficult can control timbre, volume and speed to a certain extent. I introduce the following methods.

1, chromatic training: This is the most basic and important training, which can not only practice the right hand, but also help to widen the width of the left hand.

The practice method is as follows: practice slowly (spead=60), the timbre and volume are consistent, the speed is even, and the speed is gradually increased. Pay attention to adjust the speed from the limit of your own practice after practicing every day (for example, you can't get up after practicing at 70 today, so you can adjust the speed to 80 and practice again, so that the speed will not drop).

2. Practice of broken strings: The practice method is the same as above. Reference Textbook-Broken String Practice in carcassi Classical Guitar Course. This is a method to practice the comprehensive ability of the right hand, which lays the foundation for etudes and wheel fingers. It should be noted here that the remake of each exercise should be clear and the triplet should be played evenly. The fingering of the last movement of "Capriccio No.24" is mostly the fingering of broken chords, and the speed of the fourth opening is above 200, so don't ignore this exercise.

Several methods of practicing chromatic scale

The chromatic scale is a very important exercise, but many people don't know how to practice it correctly. Here, I introduce several practice methods.

1, basic exercise:

(1) Take quarto as a group, and the speed starts from 60 to100;

(2) Take triplets as a group, and the speed varies from 80 to 120. The above exercises require steady speed, and practice with stress and weak voice respectively. When playing strings, pay attention to plucking strings with two fingers in turn in your right hand, because there are empty strings in the practice, and the plucking times of each string are different.

2. Turn your fingers to pluck the strings

The fingers of the right hand are P, I, M and A, which are divided into the following groups.

( 1)i、m； m、I；

(2)i、a； A, me;

(3) mergers and acquisitions; At 9: 30 a.m.

(4)a、m、I； I, I, I love you.

3. After the above exercises, you can do intermediate exercises:

Practice with the notes before and after. The speed starts at 60 and increases gradually.

The above two practice methods can be carried out at the same time, mainly depending on whether the practitioner has enough time to practice the piano.

Left hand finger stretching exercise

There are two ways to practice finger stretching with your left hand.

1. When practicing chromatic scale, all the strung fingers of the left hand should be kept in the original position, and the width of the finger root should be opened vigorously, as slowly as possible to avoid pulling the finger ligament. Note: each finger is connected with a tendon, and the tendon of the second finger and the third finger is integrated, so we should focus on the finger expansion of the second and third fingers when practicing.

This exercise method is suitable for friends who have a certain foundation. The fingers on the left hand are 4, 3, 2 and 1. Press and hold 12, 18+0, 10 and 4, 3, 2 and 1 9 strings respectively, and practice once. 3 means moving from 1 1 to 10, and 4 means moving from 12 to 1 1. The right hand plucks the strings in the order of 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3 (six-tone rhythm), and every finger of the right hand moves to beat the rhythm. When all the fingers of the left hand move to the eighth position, move down in the above order until the first position is reached. Note: During the movement of the left hand, the hand shape should not be crooked as far as possible, but should face the neck of the piano. (The hand shape can be slightly tilted after the third grade)

When you finish the exercises from one string to four strings, do it on the second string to five strings, and finally do it on the third string to six strings. This exercise should be done step by step. Don't be greedy. Don't finish the three methods mentioned above in one day, which will easily hurt your left hand. Remember.
