Start learning complex chords

图片
     I believe that through the practice of Little Star songs, everyone should have fully understood simple chords and how to play single chord songs. So now I want to start the most important part of guitar learning: chords. When we begin to learn guitar, it is important to understand the concepts of complex chords and how to play them. Guitar chords can be divided into two types: open chord and character chord. Open chord is a simple chord, while character chord is more complex and requires pressing down on some strings to form character. Complex chords are difficult for beginners, and playing requires pressing the character in the correct position and ensuring that the vibration of the strings is clear. If the pressing position is incorrect, it can cause a very abrupt sound.      I will introduce eight complex chords that are friendly to beginners. These eight complex chords are: C A G E D Am Em Dm. Regarding complex chords, you will see a rectangular grid diagram that can guide you

Understanding the beat and playing basic songs

     Ask every day: Did you practice guitar today? Last time I introduced some simple scales, and today I will use these scales to compose a song. Let us know this song. "Little Star" is one of the most famous children's songs in China, famous for its cheerful rhythm and catchy lyrics. This song is a single chord song. You just need to match the number on the score to the corresponding scale.       First of all, the number notation refers to the score with numbers on it, while the letter notation is relatively complex and requires proficiency in various chords and music theory. Let's take a look at what is in the digital notation. The first thing that catches our eyes is the title of the song, and 1=C4/4 under the title means that the music in C major is in four or four beats. The so-called music beat refers to the combination rule of strong beat and weak beat, which refers to the total length of each note in the music score. Common ones are 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 3/8, 6

Guitar music theory and basic scale

    What's up!  If you have the right guitar posture and are ready to play your first song with confidence. Next, you should know how to understand the score you want to play. First, let's understand the interval relationship. Here are seven tones: CDEFGAB, and the interval relationship is the relationship between them. Between C and D is the whole tone, between D and E is the whole tone, between E and F is the half tone, between F and G is the whole tone, between G and A is the whole tone, between A and B is the whole tone, between B and C is the half tone.                       Next, let's match these notes to the strings. The standard tone of the sixth string is E. Because there is a whole tone between D and E, the flat tone of E is # D. By analogy, the standard tone of the fifth string is A, and the flat tone is # G. The standard tone of the fourth string is D, and the flat tone is # C. The standard tone of the third string is G, and the flat tone is # F. The standard t

Guitar posture and hand forms

     After fully understanding the guitar instrument, today we begin to officially get started. There is a very important part that needs to be corrected before playing, that is our playing posture. There are three kinds of postures: leg up, flat sitting, and standing. Leg lifting: fold one leg above the knee of the other leg, hold the guitar in your arms, and clip the obvious depression of the guitar on the upper leg Sit flat: with two legs apart, one side sits slightly on the chair, both legs flat, the guitar in the arms, the right arm is above the resonance box, and the obvious depression is stuck in the front leg. Standing: stable performance with the guitar suspended requires the assistance of a fixed belt, and requires high playing experience.  For beginners, my advice is to sit flat, because the center of gravity of the sitting flat is more stable, and the hands will not freeze.                                                        With the correct sitting posture, let's di

Introduction to Guitar

  Hey, I'm Rae. I play guitar and some music works. If you are a guitarist who has bought a guitar but has been putting it beside you, or just bought a guitar and don't know how to start, you should read this article. This can help you better understand your partner who will accompany you for a long time. As a beginner, the first step is to understand the guitar, which is mainly divided into three parts: head, neck and resonance box. There are 14 parts subdivided: Tuning key, head, Guitar Nut, string, Guitar Fret Wire, pin, fingerboard, side board, panel, bridge, sound hole, Pickguard Bracket, Guitar Saddle and Bridge Pins.    As for the performance posture, the most basic knowledge is that when we play the part should be in front of the sound hole, we can achieve the best reception effect. Now I will share a very important knowledge: string. The guitar has six strings, which should be thick to thin from top to bottom. The top and thickest are six strings, and the bottom is one
