0 Basic Guitar Tutorial for Beginners Section 1: Introductory Knowledge

I. Classification of the guitar

1, the classical guitar

From the court instrument, it is said to be a derivative of the lute. The body is handmade, with a flat, wide fretboard. The strings are nylon strings, strung in a special way. The sound is beautiful and mellow.

2, folk guitar

From the classical guitar, the change is 12 to 14 pins of the big **** sound box guitar, slightly narrow fretboard and slightly curved fretboard surface to make playing easier. The strings are all steel and alloy strings, which are harder. The tone is crisp and pleasing to the ear, penetrating, volume is greater than the classical instrument, heavy metal feeling.

3, Hawaiian guitar

The ancestor of the modern electric guitar, playing flat, with a metal slide bar and metal plectrum as a tool. Comes with a very small ****ing sound box, and the sound must be amplified by an amplifier.

4, the electric guitar

is a folk guitar and Hawaiian electric guitar version of the upgrade, divided into two kinds of *** sound box and monoblock. Sound from the string vibration cutting magnetic field generated by the current and then amplified to form, the equipment needs an amplifier. Due to the different musical expression, was made into all kinds of different models and styles. The peripheral equipment is huge, such as effectors and amplifiers. The peripheral equipment allows the guitar to have a variety of different tones, which is highly malleable, and the expressive power is determined by the individual's hobby. Players can use tools such as plectrums, slide bars, and even drills to create more effects.

3. Holding the guitar

1. Put your right leg on your left leg.

2. Place the most concave part of the case on your right leg, with the back of the case resting on the right side of your chest. 3. 3. Raise the headstock above the case at about 30?~45? from horizontal.

4. Place the back third of your right arm on the most convex part of the case, with your right wrist relaxed and your hand naturally perpendicular to the strings in a crisscross position, or slightly tilted.

5. Place your right thumb on the 5th string in the sound hole area, index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on top of the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings (don't touch the strings), and arch your right wrist in an arc with your palm and fingers.

6. Lift your left hand, place your thumb on the back of the neck, and the rest of your fingers on the fretboard, with your fingertips in a vertical position on the fretboard, with your palm not touching the back of the neck, but sometimes changing as needed.

7. Folk guitar holding posture is also often used in a standing position. Whether you are sitting or standing, the basic requirement is to relax your hands naturally.

Note: there are many other positions, students can observe the MTV guitarist position to imitate, but in the beginning stage of the general sitting position, do not use other positions for the time being.

Fourth, finger notation

1, the right hand finger code

p (pulgar abbreviation)? Thumb

i(indice)? Index finger

m(medio)? Middle finger

a(anular)? ring finger

ch (chico)? Little finger, not commonly used

2, the left finger code

1? index finger 2? middle finger 3? ring finger 4? little finger

Note: in the six-line score with 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and in the chord diagrams with ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ indicated.

V. Exercise (1)

1. Put your right thumb on the 6th string, gently leaning against it as a temporary support, and put your index finger (i), middle finger (m), and ring finger (a) on top of the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings, respectively (don't touch the strings).

2. Gently hook the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings in the order of fingers a, m, and i. When hooking the strings, pay attention to the evenness of the force, and hook towards the center of the hand.

3. This is the first step in playing the guitar, so practice until you can play it with your eyes closed.

4. Don't practice with your left hand for the moment, the next section will be about practicing with your left hand and practicing with your left and right hands.

The six-line notation is used to record the guitar's common playing styles (solo, broken-down accompaniment, and diffuse rhythms) in the following ways: Solo (melodic) notation: Arabic numerals are written on the six lines. The numbers on the six lines indicate the character of the guitar, written

Breakdown of the chord accompaniment notation: draw an X? on the six lines, when there is often a fingering diagram of the chord in the left hand on top of the six lines.2

The X? indicates that the chord is played with the right hand fingers.

X?X?X? Play the 1st, 2nd, X?X?X? and 3rd strings at the same time X?X?X?X?

●Note: The dots and sustainers used in the six-string notation are basically the same as those used in simplified notation and stave notation.

VII. C Major Scale for Guitar

VIII. C Major Scale fingering

1. Left hand

The empty string (0) is not to be pressed, the 1st fret is pressed with the 1 (index finger), the 2nd fret is pressed with the 2 (middle finger), the 3rd fret is pressed with the 3 (ring finger), and the 4th fret is pressed with the 4 (pinky finger).

This lesson is only practicing the basic C major scale, so 4 (pinky) is not pressed.

2. Right hand

Generally, the 6th to 4th strings are played with P (thumb), and the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings are played with i (index finger), m (middle finger), and a (ring finger).

IX, left hand how to press the string

Left hand string two basic requirements:

(1) stand up: refers to the arm, wrist, the back of the hand to the fingers to form a circular arc, the end joints of the fingers should be perpendicular to the direction of the fingerboard as much as possible to stand up and press the strings with the fingertip tip downward. If the end joints do not press the strings perpendicularly, not only will you exert more force, your left hand will be easily fatigued and strained, and you will often push or pull the strings to the side, resulting in intonation deviations. Generally speaking, fingers 2 and 3 are easy to stand up, while fingers 1 and 4 are not. Moreover, the 1st and 4th fingers often close inward due to their physiological relationship, making it even more difficult to stand up, but you should try to stand up and press the strings as much as possible in order to hold yourself to a high standard. As time goes by, it will gradually improve until it is fully upright, so please practice hard. Human physiology is very malleable, and almost any well-trained guitarist or guitarist can stand up well on each finger. These small details are often indicative of the standardization and rigor of a person's training and education.

(2) In place: The guitar is a technically demanding instrument, and it is also prone to glitching. In addition to the right hand Technical incorrect often lead to weak volume, thin tone and a lot of noise, the left hand presses the strings in the wrong position will often produce a lot of noise, so that the original full of charm, people love the guitar into a disgusting, noisy and unbearable? Noisy instruments. Left-handed strumming in place means that each time the strings are struck, they should be as close to the frets as possible, but not so close that the fingers get to the frets or even press on the frets, so that the right hand can get the best sound with the least amount of force. It is important to be more demanding and to develop strict and precise stringing habits at the beginning of the learning process.

X. Practice

1, according to the fingering of the left and right hands, play the C major scale, pay attention to the right and left hand coordination.

2, you can freely combine the sound, play your favorite melody, you can also play our enrollment paper on the three songs, you will

experience the infinite joy of the guitar.

Note: Through the practice of this section, the fingers of the left hand will be pain, this pain will generally last two weeks, this time must adhere to (many people are afraid of pain and do not learn the guitar), until the fingertips wear out the callus to the good. Be careful not to break your fingers, and if it hurts too much, take a break and play again. After the skin is removed, the fingertips grow calluses to not hurt.

0 Basic Guitar Tutorial for Beginners Section 3: Getting to Know Guitar Chords

XI, Guitar Chords

What do we mean by chords? The characteristics of the guitar is that it is a more perfect chord instrument, so mastering the knowledge of chords is especially important for learners. A chord is a series of tones (three or more) that are played simultaneously and that are organized according to certain rules. The triad is the basic chord. There are three tones that make up a triad. The first one is the root note. The second one is the third tone (the tritone for short) and the third one is the fifth tone (the pentatonic for short). Chords in general are formed by stacking them in thirds. Chords can be constructed in thirds at any level in the tonic system. Take the ?1? degree as the root note to form a triad, and the names of the tones are as follows:

5.......................... Fifths (fifths on the root)

3.......................... Tritone (third on the root tone)

1.......................... Root note

Another example, 3, 5, 7 these three tones together, also become a triad, its composition of the tone to 3, combined with the same 5, 7 and the composition of the two tones, the root note is 4.

XII, the guitar chords

Note:

In the guitar chord diagrams, from the right to the left of the vertical line, respectively, indicates that the 1st to the 6th strings; the horizontal line indicates that the guitar Fretboard fretboard, the upper left corner of the number ?1? indicates the 1st fret, down the fret analogous.

? ①, ②, ③, ④? indicate the fingers of the left hand.

? ○? means empty string, no need to press.

It means you don't need to press it, and you can't play it.

Thirteen, decomposition chords

Decomposition chords (arpeggiando), also known as dispersion chords, this is a kind of chord of the harmony of the chord played in turn. Generally, the bass note (4th to 6th string) is played with the P finger first. Then the rest of the chord is played with the i, m, and a fingers according to a certain pattern.

XIV, right hand broken chord exercise

Note: Because all the notes in this exercise are within the chord, so each bar is a fixed fingering, and, when playing several notes should be held down together to have a more harmonious chord effect, do not find one note by one note to become a staccato sound, the beginning of the conversion of the chord fingering will be very slow. It should be solved by slowing down the overall speed, without stopping in the middle.

This exercise is a basic skill, the beginning of the speed is not required, as long as the rhythm is accurate and even can be, but should be practiced often, gradually improve the speed and grasp, to achieve fast and smooth only good. The other patterns will be introduced later.

XV. Guitar Tuning Methods

1. The six-note timpani (both E, A, and B) are used to tune the guitar. (including E, A, D, G, B, E six-tone flute), tuning: blow the tone of the flute, and adjust the pitch of the corresponding strings. Blow the high E tone, adjust the pitch of the first string, blow the B tone, adjust the pitch of the second string, blow the G tone, adjust the pitch of the third string, blow the D tone, adjust the pitch of the fourth string, blow the A tone, adjust the pitch of the fifth string, blow the low E tone, adjust the pitch of the sixth string. This is the end of the tuning.

2, the use of the E pitch flute tuning, blow the tone flute, the sound issued by the E tone, according to this pitch will be a string of empty string tuning (you can also see whether the E string **** vibration to judge). Then use the tuned string to tune the rest of the strings in turn.

(1) Adjust the pitch of the 2nd string until the fifth fret of that string sounds the same as the 1st string pitch.

(2) Adjust the pitch of the 3rd string until the fourth fret of that string sounds the same as the pitch of the empty 2nd string.

(3) Adjust the pitch of the 4th string until the fifth fret of the string sounds the same as the pitch of the 3rd string.

(4) Adjust the pitch of the 5th string until the fifth fret of that string sounds the same as the pitch of the 4th string.

(5) Adjust the pitch of the 6th string until the fifth fret of that string sounds the same as the pitch of the 5th string.

3, the use of tuning fork tuning

tuning with a tuning fork to hit a hard object, so that the tuning fork by vibration, and issued a weak buzzing sound, the pitch of the pitch for the A tone, according to the pitch of the five-string empty string tuning, and then the use of this has been tuned to adjust the five-string, and then adjusted to the other articulations in turn. The method is the same as above.

Tuning the strings is difficult for beginners, and many people are unable to tune the strings correctly, mainly because they have a poor ability to recognize pitch in their hearing.
