Learn to play almost on any musical instrument, you can even without visiting teachers - on your own. For this, there are printed tutorials, schools, video on digital media and on the Internet. Especially great opportunities are available for guitar lovers. The main thing is to correctly organize this training for yourself.
Training features
Novice learning game guitar from scratch It is important to know how quickly you can learn how to play at least simple melodies or play chords singing . With the teacher, it is not so difficult to study as it yourself, but it's not just that.
The duration of training is influenced by such factors:
- scheduled goals of students;
- his age;
- employment;
- quality of educational material;
- the quality of the tool;
- physical and anatomical features (length of brushes, length and thickness of the fingers);
- Availability or absence of hearing and feelings of rhythm.
Guitar - tool, mastering the game on which it is impossible to call a simple case How many are imagining. Even the basics of sound extracts on it can not be easily nobody. To play a simple melody, you must first learn to correctly and alternately extract sounds on open strings with different fingers of the right hand, and then - press the strings on the lads with your left. At the same time, the actions of the fingers of both hands on the removal of each sound must be synchronous. And this is also manifested separately by various exercises. If you compare, then the sound turns on the piano by pressing the key with just one finger of any of the hands.
It can be noted that when independent training is especially difficult for the skills of the game with left hand on the Guitar Grope.
The brush of this hand during the placement of the fingers on the grief becomes in an uncomfortable (unnatural) position, since it has to force it to turn up and "on itself" open palm. And this position is quite tedious for beginners. With the experience of this inconvenience, the guitarist simply does not notice.
One of the big problems for newcomers is the painful sensations in the pads of the fingertips of the left hand when the strings are pushed on the lads . Children from this suffer most, and others even throw classes. Adult disciples transfer this period with understanding. True, and their pain is not so acute as young guitarists (the skin on the fingers of an adult is rougher).
If at the moments of painful sensations to stop classes, then the necessary guitarist of corns on the tips of the fingers will be formed for a long time, and the pain occurs again after breaks. Training can delay indefinitely.
The only thing you can do in this case - reduce occupation time, but increase their number per day . After the formation of subcutaneous corns at the tips of the fingertips of the left hand pain cease.
The harder the selected direction (the purpose of learning), the more time it will be necessary to perform the task of mastering the guitar. The simplest is to learn to a simple accompaniment of singing or a soling tool. But it is difficult to say how much learning will be launched for a particular person, given the many factors listed above that affect the process.
What is necessary?
First of all, it is necessary to decide on the direction of executing on the guitar, and already choose the instrument . The most popular is a 6-string guitar, but there are also other types of this tool, if you proceed from the number of strings: seven-string, four-bundle (ukulele), bass guitar, 12-string. Yes, and among the "six-strings" a lot of varieties: classical, flamenco, acoustic (with metal strings), semi-acoustic, electric.
Do not buy for classes the first guitar that fell, especially with the hands. The tool must sound good, build perfectly, look outdoor. Only in this case, the beginner has every chance to learn to play guitar.
For children, you need a guitar with nylon strings - classic . And even if the child wants to play fashionable today under the foreign title "Fingerstyle" on an acoustic guitar, then learning is better to start on the classic. The teaching will make it much easier, and later you can go to "acoustics" with metal strings. On the existing already acoustic instrument and adults, and children are recommended to replace strings to a softer set - "nine" or "dozen" in thickness.
And also need to be purchased in a music store to set up the tool tuner . Or take advantage of special programs on a PC or smartphone that will need to download.
With independent training, you should get a tutorial at the appropriate area (on the game on the classic guitar, the electric guitar, and so on). They are available not only in bookstores, but also on the Internet.
The book option is more convenient and safer for the health of the student.
There are more serious teaching aids ("School games on the six-string guitar" E. Poohol, F. Sora, M. Carcassi, A. Ivanova-Kramsky, "Tutorial of the game at Plemgitar" L. Panayotova), but they are designed for classes with teacher .
A lot of learning material is available for bass guitar, including various video stations. The same can be said about the 6-string electric guitar in general and the rock guitar in particular. There are successful bookbooks on accompaniment in print versions.
And now let's touch on some guitar learning funds. This information will be useful primarily to lovers of classical and ordinary acoustic guitars.
How to keep a guitar?
People who choose a classic guitar, better a typical landing that exists for the musicians of this style for at least 170 years, is unlikely to come up with . In the classic landing, the main emphasis is placed on ensuring the maximum freedom and convenience of the hand of the guitarist, the availability of all the lands on the grief of the tool while maintaining a natural posture, excluding any voltage when playing.
The position is sitting on the edge of the chair with an absolutely straight body and located on the thigh upgraded with a low left leg support tool most fully meets the requirements described. A directed to the shoulder level (and even above) the guitar facilitates the already complex work in a rather uncomfortable position of the brush of the left hand.
The guitar is held by two main points of support - the lift of the left leg and the forear of the right hand, which is located on the edge of the shell and the top deck of the tool body in the most convex part. The conditional points of the support can also be considered a thigh right leg, in which the edge of the shell and the bottom deck rests, as well as the breast of the musician, in contact with the edge of a slightly inclined tool body.
Decks with their planes should not be strictly vertically, as other musicians consider. In this case, the guitar will sound deaf due to blocking some of the functions of the resonator and decks due to the fact that the lower deck is too large plugged to the chest of the artist.
The left hand does not participate in the support of the instrument, since she has other tasks: she needs freedom of action on the jiff.
The right leg of a guitarist set aside so as not to interfere with the rise of the grid at the desired level due to the placement of the lower part of the tool housing in the free space. It takes insignificant participation in the support of the guitar, like the chest.
Many self-taught and even engaged in teachers guitarists ignore the classical landing that seems to be incredited . However, in music institutions still adhere to strict rules for the training of classical guitarists.
Performers of the style of Fingerstyle or accompaniators on the acoustic guitar put the body of the tool to the right thigh, and the vulture is lowered almost parallel to the floor, thereby disrupting the tool stability and losing the relative convenience of the left hand. That is why they have often to use the left hand as a third support for maintaining the guitar stability when playing, which cannot be considered a convenient position of the Contractor.
Watching the style musicians of Fingerstyle, it can be noted that for additional support tool, they shift the right hand below, as if clapping the case when freedom of action is required in the left hand. Here the ease of execution of some technical techniques with the right hand, for example, arpeggio or aponendo at the moments of fast passages are already lost.
Flamenco guitarists have two common landings : Traditional and modern.
Both of the classical guitarists seem uncomfortable, and the second is also unnatural. But they were under the influence of some of their own - style - features, for example:
- Game right Hand is preferably carried out not in the area of the resonator opening, as in the classical style, and closer to the bottom light;
- Specificity of ads Rosgeado;
- The need to receive sharp and clear sound When performing Picado (Apanyando).
Some receptions when playing on an acoustic guitar also require a different position of the artist and tool, especially if the recovery is made by the mediator. Here you need to keep the guitar in the same way as the electric guitar.
If you have to play in the standing position, then on acoustic guitars and electric guitars for this, there are fasteners to which the belt is mounted . Classic models are not, but there are special belts with grippers, cling to deck in the area of the resonator hole: one from above, and the other below.
How to setup?
The strings of the six-string guitar of any direction are configured on the so-called Spanish system:
- №1 (the thinnest) - on the note Mi (E) of the first octave;
- №2 - on a note of SI (B) with small octave;
- №3 - on the sound of salt (G) with small octave;
- №4 - on the sound of re (d) of small octave;
- №5 - on la (a) large octave;
- №6 - on mi (e) of the big octave.
Such a system is standard . In the classic guitar, sometimes it is necessary to rebuild the sixth string per 1 ton below - into the sound of the re large octave. In this case, the system is considered non-standard, and it is called DROP D ("lower in re"). It is possible to meet the need to configure the guitar to the Double Drop D (double Drop D), when two strings are lowered at once to 1 tone in the sounds of the re-sixth and first. The following system is obtained (if you start with the 6th string): D-A-D-G-A-D.
Acoustic and electric guitars are rebuilt into many other buildings, but it is not necessary to know the beginners about it yet. Tool setting is performed either through another musical instrument, or with the help of electronic tuners, or by hearing, configuring the first string along the chalkton, and then adjusting the rest of it.
The guitar batch is written in a violin key, but its true sound is lower than a whole octave record.
A music record for an octave guitar is higher with the goal to avoid too cumbersome recording with a multitude of additional lines in the lower voices of the tool. Musicians are so convenient to play with the sheet.
Basics of game for beginners
The basics of the equipment of the game on the classic guitar are considered:- Receptions of soundtractions with fingers right hand;
- The technique of pressing strings on the genuine guitar with fingers of the left hand;
- Accord game;
- combat technique;
- Bruep game.
Such a study plan is independently at home quite suitable for beginners.
Receptions recovery
There are 2 main recording of sound recovery on a classic guitar, if not counting the chord game through strikes on strings.
- Tyrando . Removing the sound from the strings by pinching without a support to the next string. Sometimes such a reception is called "blow up up". The tip of a finger or nail faces the string and goes down with it, causing a oscillation, towards the neighboring string, but it does not hurt the last one. If you mentally continue the line of movement of your finger, then it will be treated in the palm. Comable way of sound recovery when playing chords, busting and conducting an average voice in multi-voiced plays.
- Apanyando . Removing the sound of a string with a finger with a subsequent support of it to the next string. In a different way, the reception is called "blowing down". The beginning of the finger movement is the same as at Tyrando, but the finger rests on the next string and remains on it, if it does not interfere with further sound recovery. The thumb at the same time serves as a support for the entire brush, while maintaining the stability of the hand and contributing to the accuracy of the actions of other fingers.
Over each of these methods it is necessary to work separately. The study of special exercises for sound recovery techniques must be included in daily lessons. Only then can you learn how to pull the strings in a variety of plays.
How to clamp strings?
The grip of the strings is a heavy test for beginners, comprehending the basics of guitar technology at home. There are recommendations that will help to cope with it.
- Press the strings to the Lada follows as close as possible to the thresholds, to which they, in fact, are pressed. LAD is considered the distance from one metal spawn to another. Pressure should be closer to that Lada's booster, which is located on the side of the guitar case. But on the threshold itself can not be pressed - the sounds are bad.
- Pressing is made by the tip of the finger perpendicular to the plane of the grid. Such a finger position allows not to cover the adjacent strings. Touch the nearest strings will lead to their joining, therefore, for example, the chord will sound poorly, incomplete sounds, "empty" harmony.
- The thumb should compensate for the fingertips, clamping strings. Its formulation needs to be paid to special attention: it is located on the reverse side of the griff in parallel to other fingers, and its place of dislocation - opposite the index and middle fingers (between them).
- At first, it is necessary to try more often to relax and shake the tension from the brush of the left hand, Giving her to relax, not bringing to numbness of the whole hand.
Accordami game
Having learned to clap strings well, you can start learning chords. You need to start with chords taken in an open position (without barrel) . This will be primarily 5 consonant: la minor (AM), re minor (DM), Mi major (E), to major (C) and a major salt (G).And to practice their capture and shift in such a sequence: Am-Dm-E-am-C-Dm-G-Am . It will be enough to play these chords first at a slow pace, spending slowly with a thumb of the right hand from the 6th to the 1st string (from top to bottom). So you can control the sound of all the sounds of the chord. Later, go to the game of chords first different overworkers, and then - simple varieties of battle.
Fight and bust
From the types of guitar battle, the easiest is a sharp blow on strings with a large or index finger from top to bottom to each quarter under the score "Once, two, three, four." Rhythm march.
Second battle: In the pace of the Waltz at the expense of "times, two, three" play bass with a thumb of the right hand on the appropriate string (by the name of the chord), which falls under the score of "times", and 2 times - a chord from the convening of three thin strings (on " two three"). These strings are twitching simultaneously with the three fingers of the right hand - index, middle and unnamed. So it turns out: Bass-Accord-Accord ("Once or Two-Three").
Brokes better play mixed and broken. They are relatively long on execution, so the change of chords does not matter so often that the beginners just fits.
The above chords:
Possible problems
Among the possible problems at the novice guitarist, the following can be noted:
- Paints of fingers both right hand and left, especially in women and children with gentle skin from friction about string and their pressed;
- articular pains in the fingers of the left hand from stretching exercises and take barre;
- difficulties in mastering the reception of Barre;
- Plugging legs and hands with intense and long classes, as well as when improper landing with a tool;
- difficulties with the study of music literactions, it is especially hard given with independent training;
- Common learning issues related to the wrong choice of tools and strings.
Almost all the difficulties are overcome by several classes with an experienced teacher which will not allow in the initial stage of common mistakes that prevent full-fledged guitar learning.
