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, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 12/8 beats, etc. These bars are fixed in length. Let's simply recognize that a few quarter beats are four minute notes and one beat per bar. 2/4 beats: 2/4 beats are 4 minute notes in one beat, 2 beats per bar. 3/4 beats: 3/4 beats are 4 minute notes for one beat, 3 beats per bar, and can have 3 4 minute notes.

    After understanding the beat, let's officially start practicing this monophonic track. We just need to find the sound we need on the scale. For example, 1 is the third level of the fifth string on the scale, 5 is the third string space on the scale, and 6 is the second level of the third string on the scale.

    I will attach a digital notation for you. From bottom to top, the score shows the sixth string to the first string, and the number on the chord is the number of pieces you pressed with your left hand.
