1, acoustic guitar and textbook selection
Friends who have just set foot in acoustic guitars need their own weapons first:) Many friends often ask, what kind of guitar is suitable for them? First of all, I want to be clear, what is your original intention of teaching yourself guitar? Is it a whim? I still want to learn guitar well as a skill (except for those who specialize in music production), and I can perform on stage in the future (not necessarily a big scene). Many friends learn guitar just because they want to play a few songs or get the welcome of MM ~ ~:) (This should be the majority, which is understandable. After all, there are still people who support it, and there are still trends to go on ~ ~ Hehe) Then I think that as the first kind, that is, friends who have just learned to play, they can buy the most popular pianos, which are generally called practice pianos, and the price is generally 150. It looks good ~ ~ because there are many colors to choose from, any one can suit you ~ ~ I had a blue piano practice at the beginning, and several old friends of Xier should have seen it:) (Because I didn't have enough money at that time, I couldn't afford a good piano, so I had to make do with it first, after all, there was still a long way to go); In the second category, you can consider buying a medium-to-high-end piano, the price generally ranges from 400- 1000, and of course there are better ones, depending on your personal economic strength. If you don't play anymore, you can also put it at home for decoration, and you can also show it off when your friends come ~ ~ ~
After determining the direction of buying a piano, you buy a piano. I suggest that you find a knowledgeable friend to help you buy it, or you can find a piano shop owner to recommend it, so that you can buy a piano that suits you better. For beginners, there are three points to pay attention to when choosing a piano-whether the timbre is pure and bright, whether it feels comfortable, and whether there is a beat phenomenon. This is a major criterion for judging a piano. Pay attention to buying a piano ~ ~ ~
When you buy a piano, it is a textbook. If you have a teacher, you don't have to buy it. The teacher will recommend you to buy things or give you his own teaching materials. If you are self-taught, you can consider buying "a flick of your finger", which is by far the best teaching material for learning acoustic guitar. The price is 44RMB (the price I saw in Shanghai Book City was brought by my teacher from Taiwan Province Province when I bought it, but it was not available in Chinese mainland at that time, hehe ~ ~ ~ and the price is still relatively expensive). If you think it's expensive, you can spend 30 yuan to buy Liu Chuan's Guitar Self-study March Pass. 18RMB (that's my teacher ~ ~ haha, some of them are suspected of advertising ~ ~) As for other better ones, you can consider them yourself. After all, learning guitar is your own business, and friends with a little heart can find what they need ~ ~ ~
The following is mainly written for those self-taught friends (generally the learning process that guitar beginners have to go through). Of course, if there is a teacher to teach, you can also go and have a look. Please communicate with us ~ ~
2, climbing lattice and scale practice
You must be very excited if you just got the guitar ~ ~ ~ Well, we are going to start our guitar tour now. Many friends have been asking, what is climbing the grid? In fact, the so-called grid climbing is actually a kind of "warm-up exercise", just like before the running competition, the player wants leg press to press his waist; Practice your voice before singing, open your voice and so on. Don't neglect to climb the grid. It is very important for the expansion of your hands, the feeling of fingerboard, the flexibility of your left and right hands, and the mastery of rhythm. Especially for those who practice electric guitar, this is more important. We usually say 60, 80, 120, or even 180-200 (the number represents beat per minute in one minute, and the metronome is usually used to assist in practice). We usually practice fingering at first, which is 1234. After a long period of accumulation, we will gradually increase the speed. If we are just learning, we may be bored at first and our hands are sore, but as long as we stick to it and lay a good foundation, it will be very helpful for future study.
The next step is scale. Generally, beginners begin to learn from the familiar C scale, because the essence of guitar string timbre is C scale, and the 6 strings are bass 3, and then they can calculate the ~ ~ ~ according to the chromatic relationship between the fingerboards, which is also the first key for beginners to learn, and then they will learn G, D, A, E, F and other keys in turn. The practice of scales will be good for your sense of hearing and your future singing and writing.
3. Chords and sense of rhythm
Folk acoustic guitar, as an accompaniment stringed instrument, of course, is indispensable for chords. Here we don't talk about the theory of chords, but about the methods of practice. Many friends feel that they can't stretch their fingers when they first talk about chords, or there is noise and stuffy voice when they play. The former is caused by the lack of "warm-up exercise". When you don't play the guitar, you can stretch your five fingers to help the ligament expand, which can also play a certain role. The latter is directly related to the strength and position of the string pressing. Strength exercise can be expanding strength, climbing the grid, putting four fingers in four positions for a few minutes in turn, or simply holding down a chord plucking until the noise is eliminated; In addition, we should also pay attention to the position of finger pressing string, so that the finger can stand upright as far as possible, perpendicular to the fingerboard, and pressed in front of the character interval, which is the most full and round position of timbre. After practice, it is not difficult to overcome the problem of chord conversion. Secondly, the first problem that novices encounter is that two hands will be confused. At this time, they can only practice chord conversion, only switch between two chords and find the conversion. For example, if C is converted into Am, you only need to move 1 or two fingers ~~ ~ These conversion methods need everyone to experience ~ ~ In C major, you must master several main chords, so that you can play almost all the music through the shifter ~ ~:)
Let's talk about rhythm Generally, when you start learning, you should start with the simplest broken chord, such as t1213121,T 1232 1 and so on. These are to help you practice the flexibility of your right hand. Don't be confused ~ ~ Pay attention to the movements of your right hand when you sweep the string, don't be stiff, do the arc movements of your wrist and gently touch it (otherwise, your friends may complain about you for releasing a lot of noise, in fact, you just need to find a place where no one is there ~ ~ Haha ~ ~ Fortunately, my roommate played a lot of guitars at that time, and there was nothing when we were together. It's all the same anyway ~ ~
4. The coordination of singing and performance and some essentials of singing.
Many friends feel that chord conversion and rhythm are almost proficient, but when singing, they feel that they can't keep up and are confused. I think it can be solved by the following methods ~ ~ ~ First of all, you must be familiar with the music you want to play, and it is best to memorize it, so that a general process will naturally form in your mind, and then your fingers will just reflect what is in your mind and form a conditioned reflex. Sometimes I suddenly find that I have forgotten the chord, but my hand is still operating, which is the reason ~ ~ ~ Second, I can slow down at first and wait until I am proficient. Remember not to rush things. Many friends just give up or play the lead guitar because they think they can't sing together and play together, so don't lose heart. Persistence is victory ~ ~ In fact, the guitar is quite easy to learn ~ ~ As for singing, everyone should pay attention to the flexible use of breath, not just the sound, especially when sitting (most folk songs are played while sitting). That is, everyone must dare to sing and speak, and don't be shy. Songs are used to express their feelings and make people sing. If this can be done, the goal will be achieved:)
The above is what some beginners should know. I believe I can give some advice to your friends on their guitar trip. Please also give us more advice and guidance. Finally, I want to say ~ ~ I hope all friends who love guitar can stick to it and carry forward their love for music and passion for guitar ~ ~ ~
