Introduction skills of folk guitar

Folk guitar is round and bright in tone, rich in sound quality and relatively free in playing posture. Mainly used to accompany singers, it is suitable for country, folk songs and modern music, and the playing form is more relaxed and casual. Grass root is one of the most common guitars. So how do you get started with folk guitar? Below I have compiled the introduction skills of folk guitar for your reference.

Introduction skill of folk guitar: right hand rotation 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.

I mainly talk about two aspects on the left.

1. 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. The angle and strength when pressing 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.

The practice method of the right hand The practice method I mentioned here is the most helpful for beginners of classical guitar, because playing classical guitar requires very flexible fingers, and a series of training from easy to difficult can control the 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), with the same tone and volume and even speed, and gradually increase the speed. Pay attention to adjust the speed from the limit of your own practice after practicing every day (for example, if you practice 70 today, you can't get up until you practice 85, 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 practice methods of chromatic scale: chromatic scale is a very important practice, 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. Watch your right hand.

When playing the strings, you should take turns plucking the strings with two fingers, because there are empty strings in practice, and each string plucks the strings differently.

[2] Take turns plucking 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; a、m (4)a、m、I； Me, me, me

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

(1) When practicing chromatic scale, all the fingers of the left hand that have been strung should be kept in their original positions, 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.

(2) This kind of exercise is suitable for friends with a certain foundation. The fingers on the left hand are 4, 3, 2 and 1. Press and hold 4, 3, 2, 1 chord 12, 18+0, 10 and 9 respectively to practice. 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. (After the third product, the hand shape can be slightly tilted. ) After doing the exercises from one string to four strings, do it on the second string to five strings, and finally 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.

Supplement: In the first exercise of the second method described above, you don't need to make one product at a time, so you can stop when your hand feels sour and continue to do it from where you left off next time.

Introduction skills of folk guitar: right-handed skills of guitar playing

Guitar has six strings, which can imitate the arpeggio effect similar to harp. There are two ways to play arpeggios on the guitar: straight arpeggios and inverted arpeggios. What is the symbol of Shunpa? }? , or add text descriptions, such as Pulgar, Pouce, Friser, etc. "tug" and "Pouce" both mean thumb, and this arpeggio should be played smoothly from bass string to treble string with thumb. Note: Sometimes a Pugar appears alone in the melody, and its range is indicated by dotted lines. At this time, I don't mean playing arpeggios, but asking my thumb to dial out these notes one by one.

Is Frith serious? Connect, approach, approach? . This method of playing is to gather all three fingers of the right hand except the thumb, put them on the three strings where the first three notes are located, and then play them one by one with the fingers from the thumb. If there are more than four arpeggio notes, all the extra notes are played by the thumb. You can play them by the Poole addition above, that is, the thumb is played one by one, and then the last three notes are played by the remaining three fingers one by one. Although the above two playing methods are both parallel arpeggios, the effects are different.

In music, sometimes there are only symbols or nothing. You can choose how to play this string of chords. What is the symbol of inverted arpeggio? │}? , and then use the text index or index to explain. Both Index and index refer to the index finger, playing smoothly from the treble string to the bass string. The arpeggio and playing method are not difficult, but pay attention to the speed. Too slow and too fast to play arpeggio. Too fast is the way to sweep the strings; If you are too slow, you will become a broken string. Arpeggio is between sweeping and breaking strings. Although it is fast, it can clearly hear the sound of every tone.

Snap your fingers-pass quickly

Rasgueado is meant to swing, grab and play, a guitar playing method with flowers. Finger flick is played in the form of a right hand clenched fist, but not too tight. Play the strings with the nail surface in the order of little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger. Thumbs don't play. The speed of snapping fingers is similar to that of arpeggio, but there are more layers of sound than arpeggio, so snapping fingers is often used to express a fierce and warm atmosphere. Note: when playing the string, let go of your fingers in turn, not fast or slow.

Close your four fingers except your thumb and play the strings with your nails at the same time; Or play the string quickly with the nail surface of a finger, which becomes the string sweeping method. Its symbol is a downward arrow, which is very common in playing and singing. The thumb can also be hooked back, and the symbol is an upward arrow.

Bass drum

Tamborra and Temple originally meant drums and drums. As you can imagine, this method of playing is like beating a drum, as if the drum and guitar are playing at the same time. The timbre is rough, powerful and unique.

The playing method of the big drum is to make a semi-rotation with the right hand, and tap the strings 2-3 cm away from the bridge with the outside of the thumb, so that the strings vibrate and produce a drum-like effect. Pay attention to hitting the treble string, and then the treble melody can clearly emerge on the accompaniment of the drum. On the score, the symbol of percussion can be abbreviated as? Tan. ? .

Take the board

In guitar playing, tapping the strings is a way, and tapping the piano panel is also a way. Strike the board, which is easy to play, is to hit the piano panel vertically with one finger of the right hand (usually the middle finger). However, it should be noted that the classical guitar does not have a guard on the panel like the flamenco guitar. When fingers strike the panel vertically, it is easy to be damaged by nails. So you can usually tap the right part of the base of the bridge. The sound produced by percussion boards is not music, but noise.

Plucked

Plucking originally refers to plucking techniques of bowstring instruments. For classical guitars, this word means imitating the timbre of plucked bowstring instruments. When playing, straighten the palm of your right hand, gently press it on the strings directly above the bridge with its right inner side (in the direction of the little finger), and pluck the strings with your right thumb. Of course, sometimes you can play with your forefinger and middle finger. The ring finger is generally not used. This pop-up sound is short and dull, similar to the plucking effect on bowstring instruments such as violins. Pay attention to the accuracy and stability of the string pressing part when using the plucked playing method. If the palm of your hand is pressed too far, the pronunciation effect is not good, and it is easy to pronounce high notes; Pressing the queen mother means no pressure.

When playing, the palm of your hand should not deviate from the correct position of pressing the string with the movement of your fingers. When plucking the strings with the thumb, the palm can carefully move slightly along the bridge with the change of the position of the thumb on different strings to adjust the angle of plucking the strings with the thumb. Pizza is often abbreviated as pizza.

Vibrating wheel finger

Tremolo is a rapid repetition of homophones or chords. Playing the same sound quickly and repeatedly with the same beat requires the fingers of the right hand to be very flexible on the guitar, and each finger should be quite independent. Fingers lack strength, or every finger is independent, happy and sharp, which is useless. br & gt

Tremolo is usually the most common monosyllabic form. At this time, each finger plays a sound in turn. So someone on the guitar called vibrato? Wheel finger? . Fingers cycle in turn, playing three notes is called three-wheel finger, playing four notes is called four-wheel finger, playing six notes is called six-wheel finger and so on. Classical guitars often use three-wheel fingers and four-wheel fingers. Flamenco guitar is a common five fingers. Thumb playing bass; The index finger, middle finger and ring finger alternately play the same high note.

Three rounds refers to the order in which fingers take turns once a week, pmi or pim. Four wheels refers to pami, or pima or pimi, or pmim. The six-wheel finger has pamima, or pimami.

Don't move your fingers too far to avoid touching the adjacent strings. Practice can be done on the second string. Usually, the strength of middle finger and ring finger is weak, so beginners should practice the alternating action of middle finger and ring finger more. Thumb is powerful, so when you turn your fingers, you should pay attention to the coordination with other fingers, keep the balance of the volume, don't suddenly exert force every time your thumb turns, and try to achieve the same volume of the four sounds. When you rotate your fingers, you should pay attention to the relationship between the cycles of finger circulation and the even interval of each finger touching the strings in the cycle to achieve continuity. Particles? Clear as a jade plate.

Doing the above is only the first step in learning to play the wheel finger, and then practice expressing the melody with the wheel finger. The melody in the wheel finger can be played with the thumb, or with other fingers, and both bass and treble can be melodies. These should be exercised and understood step by step in practical application. There are also vibrato and polyphonic modes, which are difficult to play and need further practice.

Oboe effect

There is nothing special about this way of playing. The right finger is still played in the ordinary way, but the playing part is very close to the bridge. The timbre produced by this method is hard, solid and loud in the bass area, which is a bit like China's national musical instrument Sanxian. The timbre of the treble region of the treble string is clear and bright. The oboe effect playing method can also imitate the effect of the Japanese twenty-stringed piano. In music? Died in? What is that? Oboe effect? Abbreviation of.

Clarinet effect

Like the oboe effect, the playing method of this technique is nothing special, and the right finger is also an ordinary playing method, but the playing part is different from the oboe effect, and it is played far from the bridge.

This kind of play is soft, mellow and charming. Besides imitating clarinet, you can also imitate the effect of church organ. Tarrega used this technique brilliantly in his work "Horta Dance". The notation of clarinet effect can be abbreviated as? Cl。 ? .

Cl and Ob have a strong contrast. Therefore, although sometimes the score doesn't indicate whether Cl or Ob is needed, many musicians still like these two ways of playing, playing two identical phrases or paragraphs in succession, so as to obtain timbre contrast and increase the appeal of music.

Bassoon playing method

This kind of play is similar to pizz. Move the right hand shape for playing from the bridge to the sound hole by about 5 cm, that is, the palm of the right hand (in the direction of the little finger) gently touches the strings near the sound hole, and then plays the strings with the thumb of the right hand. The sound produced by this way of playing is unique, with a slight rustle, just like the sound made by a broken bassoon. What is the sign of bassoon performance? Fagert? Or? Homosexuality. ? .
