I want to learn guitar, but I don't know where to start!

I'll take the folk guitar as an example, and I'll start with the following four steps to learn the guitar

1, recognize the guitar

First, you should understand the structure of the folk guitar

2, develop a correct posture for holding the guitar

3, understand the right hand shape

The right hand shape is very important to the habit of playing the guitar, because the right hand shape will affect the speed and tone of the guitar you play. speed and tone of your guitar playing.

4. Right Hand Plucking

Pluck the 6 strings according to pima's pizzicato pattern. This is an important, but relatively easy exercise to master. It can be difficult at first, but you will be able to master it in a few hours, and you will be able to plectrum the corresponding strings with the corresponding fingers very quickly, and then you can move on to the following exercises.

The right hand pizzicato pima represents different fingers

Practice the pizzicato order of 53231323 and stick to it every day.

5, left and right hand exercises

(a) scales

Scales can be practiced by playing do re mi fa so. You can also play the little stars that are made up of single notes with scales. Practice ten minutes a day. The point of this exercise is not speed, but accuracy.

(2) climbing grid

a, climbing grid is a difficult exercise. It is the basketball player's equivalent of the pre-court leg press. It doesn't require you to "press your legs" very well. The purpose is that the process serves to stretch the fingers. It will take a couple months to get to the level of my video instruction.

b, since this exercise is difficult, there is no progression. It's not necessary to climb the grid well to move on to the next exercise. This exercise is done for ten minutes a day, and then you move on to the next item in your routine.

6. Recognizing Chords

Recognize that the guitar follows chords.

The thinnest guitar string is the 1st string, the 1st string - 6th string, and the thickest is the 6th string. Starting from the tuning end, the fret below the string is the 1st fret, then the 2nd fret and the 3rd fret. Recognizing chords: The letters and boxes on the guitar tablature indicate a chord. The little black dots teach you how to strum. For example, on the C string, your index finger presses the 1st fret and 2nd fret, your middle finger presses the 2nd fret and 4th fret, and your ring finger presses the 3rd fret and 5th fret.

7, literate music

Literacy in music is like reading to be literate, literate music allows us to see through the text of the music of the ups and downs of the changes. First of all, from the representation of the notes, one by one to memorize, will soon be.

8, break down the rhythm, chord practice

The first step: choose a more suitable for beginners to start the song, the rhythm is (T3231323), there is no too difficult chords. We recommend three songs: Orchid Grass, The Meaning of Travel, Tick Tock (the intro is difficult, please ignore), and so on.

Step 2: Recognize playing guitar sheet music

Step 3: Practice is the right hand decomposition exercises, T3231323 . To strictly follow the right hand fingering law. The goal is to become proficient in this strumming sequence and allow the right hand to develop muscle memory. Practice until you can pluck this rhythm naturally and accurately. （

ps:

This exercise usually takes 5 or 6 hours of practice time.

Step 4: Learn the first chord that appears in the progression section of the score. After pressing the chord, check to see if there are any strings that don't sound right, and if so, adjust them. Add the third right hand break down after you have pressed it correctly, and work on the second chord after you have become proficient, and so on.

ps: this time is not much to say, the difficulty of each song varies. But it's cumulative for at least a couple days.

Step 5: Practice chord transitions, the two chords should be connected, please refer to the specific transition techniques

ps: to practice the two chord transitions, you need to learn the fingering of the two chords separately. Chord transitions can be practiced in different chords with different levels of difficulty, assuming C-G left hand to right hand arpeggio. Dozens of times after hundreds of times can be skilled.

Step 6: Learn the beats, notes, and simple beats. And apply it to the practice of the first song.

PS: If you want to use a metronome, make sure you can play it skillfully later.

Step 7: Accompany the whole song coherently. And try to hum it.

Step 8: Practice playing and singing.

After the above exercises, you can change the song. 。。。。 Go for it.
