Guitar right-handed

The hand shape of guitar's right hand is that the index finger tip is placed on the third string, the middle finger tip is placed on the second string, the ring finger tip is placed on the first string, and the thumb is placed in front of the index finger. When playing, the thumb is parallel to the bass string, the palm and fingers are naturally relaxed, the fingers are bent and half held, and the little finger is naturally drooping, like holding an egg in your hand.

The right hand does not deform when playing, the fulcrum of the finger is at the position where the forearm touches the strings, and the little finger can also participate in the support, but it naturally droops when supporting.

When playing the index finger and the ring finger, the direction is towards the palm of your hand. Use your fingers instead of your arms and wrists. Keep your right hand steady when you play, and you can't jump, because beginners are easy to move because of the instability of their right hand when learning. Pay attention to the stability of your hands, and use your fingers to force your palms.

In the process of playing guitar, the right hand is mainly responsible for plucking, sweeping, striking and cutting guitar sounds. The most basic things are plucking and sweeping the strings.

Guitar is usually represented by letters when playing. P stands for thumb, I stands for index finger, M stands for middle finger, A stands for ring finger and CH stands for little finger.
