How many fingerings does Guzheng I * * have?

The common techniques of the right hand are grasping, chopping, picking, rubbing, picking, hooking, shaking, pinching and scraping, and the common techniques of the left hand are pressing, sliding, rubbing and shaking.

In the performance spectrum of Zheng, the basic techniques of both hands are represented by corresponding fingering symbols. The following are the symbols of these commonly used techniques and the essentials of playing actions:

L common fingering symbols and action essentials of the right hand

Hold your thumb and play the strings on the outside of the Zheng.

The chopped thumb plays the string in the direction inside Zheng.

The pick/forefinger plays the strings towards the outside of the Zheng.

Wipe your index finger and play the strings to the inside of the Zheng.

Zheng pointed out with the strings.

The direction of the elastic string is inside Zheng.

String plucking refers to plucking the strings of the guzheng continuously and quickly, with the thumb constantly supporting and plucking and the forefinger constantly wiping.

Hooking or wiping techniques and combinations are used to play harmony. The octave of thumb and middle finger ensemble is a big pinch, and the interval of thumb and index finger ensemble is less than octave.

Scratch ↘ also refers to flower fingers. According to the phoneme arrangement of the Zheng, the rapid pentatonic arpeggio is played up and down.

Right-handed techniques can also be subdivided into many categories, such as continuous support, continuous chopping, continuous picking, continuous wiping, continuous picking, continuous hook, four hooks, free play, sweeping shake and short shake. With the rapid development of guzheng performance technology, the above-mentioned string performance techniques are not limited to the right hand, and the left hand is increasingly involved in the performance, and the symbols used in the performance are exactly the same as those used in the right hand.

L common fingering symbols and action essentials of left hand

Press the tone × press the chord means to press it in a controlled way to obtain a pitch higher than the chord position.

Slide up/press the string with the left hand to slide up after the right hand plays the string.

Slide down ↘ Press the chord with your left hand, play the chord with your right hand, and press the chord with your left hand to slide down.

Fricative sounds slide from the chord position and then return.

Vibrato is also called intonation. Gently rub the strings to make the voice tremble.

Overtones are tapped at half, one third and one quarter of the effective chord length (overtone point) to obtain beautiful and ethereal overtones.

There are many techniques in the left hand, such as playing, striding, drumming, clicking strings, column sounds and column overtones.

The following is a brief introduction to several finger shaking methods and playing essentials:

[Thumbs tremble]

Thumb Tik Tok is the most commonly used finger Tik Tok, which uses the thumb to support and split the strings alternately. According to different genres, different performance requirements and different learning stages, thumb shaking can also be divided into four types:

1, Wrist shaking-the forefinger gently pinches the big finger, the palm root lightly presses the piano head at the foot of Qian Yue Mountain as the fulcrum, and drives the finger with the wrist as the axis. Don't hold your hand too tightly or open it too wide, you need to keep it relaxed and natural. You can adjust the volume of finger jitter by pinching your thumb with your index finger. This kind of finger jitter is suitable for beginners.

2. Shake the pile-the basic point is the same as shaking the wrist. The difference is that it is not supported by the whole wrist, but by the little finger at the bottom of the front beam of the string to be played. Pay attention to lowering your wrist when playing. In the initial practice, when the thumb is split, it needs to be hit on the lower string to stabilize it. You need a little force when holding your fingers, but you don't need to rely on strings, which will affect the flexibility of fingering.

3. Wrist hanging and swinging-fingering is further liberated on the basis of the first two fingering methods. Hanging the wrist and swinging does not need any support, and it is completely completed by the control and strength of the wrist. This fingering method gets rid of the limitation of piling, and can complete the timbre requirements from Qianyue Mountain to any place in the yard, such as wandering and swinging.

4, quick shake-pluck the string with the knuckles of the thumb, that is, use the joints of the thumb and palm as the moving point to drive the whole finger to move. When playing, all fingers are completely relaxed, and the hand shape that is naturally relaxed when playing is maintained. This shaking method generally uses piling when playing long notes quickly or for a long time (piling is usually carried out with the ring finger); You don't need to bet when playing some notes with short duration changes. It's hard to shake your thumb quickly. The first three kinds of thumb shaking are mainly done by the strength of the wrist, and this kind of shaking is done by the strength of the thumb joint. It takes some effort to play smoothly.

Thumb Tik Tok can be practiced in stages, for example, each string shakes four notes at first, and then gradually increases to eight notes and sixteen notes, until the thumb Tik Tok can be played continuously, evenly and quickly (except for the fast split Tik Tok, the thumb usually shakes to the head). When playing, the angle, depth and correctness of nail touching strings directly affect the timbre and volume of fingers.

[forefinger shakes]

The forefinger plucks the strings inward and outward by continuously and alternately wiping and fingering. When playing, the thumb should gently pinch the first joint at the bottom of the index finger nail to stabilize the index finger and increase the auxiliary strength; The middle finger, ring finger and little finger are naturally relaxed, and there is no need to stick the little finger or index finger when playing. You can gently put your palm on the head of the kite outside the mountain, or you can shake it by hanging your wrist, so that the strength can be transmitted to your forearm through your big arm and drive your wrist to shake, forming a dense plucking of your fingertips. At this time, the main power of the index finger itself is small, which mainly plays a role in controlling the depth and angle of touching the string. In melody and long notes, forefinger shaking is as common as thumb shaking.

[Two fingers tremble]

Thumb and forefinger are pulled alternately from inside to outside by chopping, wiping and supporting. The double command lever generally adopts the hanging wrist swing method. The thumb and forefinger maintain a chord position of three degrees or close to three degrees, the finger joints naturally bend and remain motionless, and the other three fingers naturally relax, which is driven by the strength of the wrist when playing. Two-finger shaking can also be done with thumb and middle finger. Gently pinch your thumb with your index finger to control the stability and strength of your thumb. The middle finger and thumb remain in a chord position of three degrees or close to three degrees. It is based on the shaking of the thumb and the middle finger to complete the effect of a continuous chord. But the difficulty has increased a lot, and it needs to be practiced frequently. Two-fingered rocking is also played by a few people with their forefinger and middle finger.

[buckle]

When the right hand plays the string, the thumb of the left hand tightly presses on the pronunciation string or gently pinches the string with the index finger and thumb, and moves left and right between the front beam and the yard according to the requirements of the music. Buckling is mainly used to render the atmosphere or simulate the wind in music (such as the music Typhoon).

[scanning]

The middle finger sweeps the string quickly within eight degrees, and the big finger shakes the finger. Sweeping is based on shaking, so you must practice shaking first, then add middle finger sweep rhythmically (that is, the middle finger plays more than two strings quickly), and then gradually increase the speed and consistency of sweeping in practice.

[Multi-finger swipe]

Multi-finger scanning is different from the scanning we usually play. It is not based on the wrist swing (because the wrist swing is controlled and assisted by holding the thumb with the index finger). Multi-finger scanning is carried out on the basis of fast chopping. He needs an index finger, a middle finger and sometimes a ring finger, and takes turns to sweep the strings, combined with the swing of his thumb. This fingering is very difficult, so it is rarely used.
