Guitar is a multi-voice musical instrument on which they play fingers of both hands. The functions of the hands are certainly different. The right hand sets the rhythm and is responsible for the sound intake, which should be not only timely and correspond to the required durability, but also beautiful. The fingers of the left hand should be in time and high qualityly press the desired chord or a separate sound on the string to ensure the correct execution of the musical work.
For novice guitarists, the game on the instrument is somehow uncertain and therefore complex art, which, as they consider, not everyone can master. But it is not quite the right vision. Learning to play guitar can everyone who will not regret the time and perseverance in the knowledge of this art . And everything starts with the simplest, at first glance, the exercises, about which and tells in this article.
Preparation
It is necessary to prepare each time on the six-string guitar, performing simple warm-up exercises with or without a tool.
This rule is not only for beginners - even musicians with concert experience are performed.
Consider these exercises.
First of all, a warm-up for your fingers and brushes of both hands is necessary. This needs to be done even until the guitar sit down.
- Make a light massage of the palm and the joints of the fingers (the left hand makes the massage right, and then - on the contrary).
- A little time to spend on different manipulations associated with the development of the elasticity of the muscles of the hands of hands (their rotation, bends down and up, twisting and so on).
- For the fingers of the left hand, stretching is very important. , Therefore, 1-2 minutes should be performed using the right hand forced stretching of the adjacent fingers, placing the right hand between them in the area of its transition to the brush. The same can be done by two fingers of the right hand, folding them together and acting by the likeness of the wedge.
- Perform several times an independent stretch between your fingers without external assistance.
- Try straighten your left palm (fingers - together, straightened), and then alternately, starting with the index, bending them in the middle joint. It is necessary to keep the remaining fingers in place when the next one is bent. Bending everything, just take turns to straighten them. The second option is to begin bending with the mother's. This exercise develops the independence of the fingers.
- The same to do with the right hand.
The time of not more than 10 minutes will spend on warm-up exercises, but the benefits of them are big. Muscles will stretch out, prepared for more serious tests. In addition, there will be no fatigue in the hands for a long time. After that, you can move to the exercises for the development of your fingertips with a guitar.
Examples of simple exercise
Each guitarist has its own set of exercises for the development of fingers of both hands. But among the great sets, it is precisely those exercises that are needed primarily by novice, comprehending the rigorous basics of performing skills on the guitar.
For the right hand
The most correct choice for a beginner guitarist will be the decision to master the technique of arpeggio (combustion). Exercises for different types of disintegrations can be started almost immediately, as soon as they have learned how to sit with the instrument correctly and put the fingers of the right hand on the strings.
All these exercises are first practiced on open strings (without the participation of the left hand).
The types of arpeggio on the guitar are very much, but for beginners, this list is limited by the following main species.
- Mixed arpeggio (It is recommended that it is from it to start the development of the fingertips of the right hand). All fingers are involved in the game: P (large), I (index), M (medium), A (Unnamed). Each finger extracts the sound from the "his" string: large - from the bass 6th, index - from the 3rd, medium - from the 2nd, Unnamed - from the 1st. Sound recovery sequence (busting) Such: P-i-M-A-M-i. The score: "Once, two, three, four, five, six."
- Ascending . Finger movement as follows: P-i-M-a. Account: "Once, two, three, four." Like the previous type of extinguishing, it is performed by the reception of sound recovery called "Tyrando" (the plug is from the bottom up without support on the next string), except for thumb. The thumb, slipping with the bass string, stops on the next bottom (there and remains until the next pinch of the same string, serving the whole hand). But with the 4th string, with a support for the third play, it is impossible in this arpeggio, since the 3rd is played immediately after the bass. Here you have to apply the plug without support.
- Descending . Power Scheme: P-A-M-i. View of Arpeggio inverse the previous one. Only the beginning remains the same - the bass must be in the first place. The complexity of the exemption is that it should be played by the reception of sound recovery called "Apanyando" (topper top down towards the top deck with a support on the adjacent string). It is recommended to first work out the exercise without support, and then - with a support.
After learning the chords, the specified views of the arpeggio must be worked out already in the harmonic bundle, for example, playing several chord sequences:
- Am-dm-e-am;
- C-am-G-C;
- EM-am-B7-EM.
The bass must match the chord played: AM - 5th string, DM - 4th, E (EM) - 6th, C - 5th, G - 6th, B7 - 5th. It should not be forgotten about the purity of sound, as well as about accelerating actions without losing the quality of sound.
It is best for beginners to carry out all the exercises with a guitar under the metronome to develop a feeling of uniform rhythm.
For the left hand
Guitar exercises for the fingers of the left hand of a novice guitarist are mainly aimed at their proper statement, stretching and independence.
- Exercise number 1 . The consistent press of string No. 1 on the first four freaks by all fingers, starting movement from its open sound. Scheme such: 0-1-2-3-4. Here are indicated: 0 - free (uncleened) string, numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 - taken on tabulature the designation of the rooms of the lands on the jiff. The finger number corresponds to the Lada number: Signable - 1, Middle - 2, Unnamed - 3, Mysinette - 4. It is important not to clean the previous sounds - you just need to weaken the pressure of your fingers (relax), transferring the effort to the finger that works at the moment. The fingers of the right hand remove the sounds of the aponeando alternately, for example, moving like this: I-M-I-M-I (index-medium and so on).
- Exercise number 2. . Its first half is fulfilled in the same way as the previous exercise, and then should go back to the first Lada. It is already difficult to do it - it is necessary to lift each finger, starting with the little finger, so that everyone else remains in the freak. Motion scheme is this: 0-1-2-3-4-3-2-1. All sounds must have equal duration. Having mastered this exercise, you can move with it to the following strings up, without stopping until the very end.
- Exercise number 3. ("Caterpillar"). Good workout for stretching and independence of all fingers. For the starting position, it is necessary to place the fingers of the left hand as follows: the 1st finger - clamps the fourth string on the IX Lada, the 2nd - third on the X Lada, the 3rd - the second on the XI Lada, the 4th - the first on the XII Lada. The right hand extracts the sounds as a rising bust: P is the 4th string, I - 3rd, M - 2nd, A - 1st. The diagram of the movement of the right hand: P-i-M-a. When Arpeggio sounds, the 1st finger of the left hand shifts from IX Lada Fourth Strings on VIII, the arpeggio scheme is repeated. Before the next arpeggio, the 2nd finger with the X LADA is shifted on IX, for the third time on one way, after the previous finger, the 3rd finger is shifted, in the fourth time - the 4th finger moves from the XII to the XI PLA.
Exercise number 3 continues by the one-time movement of a separate finger of the left hand after each sound of the entire arpeggio scheme. And it lasts until the novice musician can be able to arrange the fingers on the freak. The fact is that closer to the head of the jig of the distance between the thresholds increase, and therefore the unaccredit fingers will not be able to move exactly along the lads. First, the process can end up within a VI or V Lada of finding the 1st finger, later the muscles will acquire the necessary elasticity, allowing you to move further to I Lada.
Recommendations Novikom
The initial learning of the game on the guitar is accompanied by a mass of emerging difficulties: the apparent inconvenience of landing with the tool, the left hand, pain in the pads in the pillows, the stripping of the limbs and shoulders and so on is inconvenient. In this regard, several useful rules for beginners can be recommended.
Replace metal strings on your "acoustics" to nylon. On the electric guitar of this, of course, you will not do, but there is an opportunity to change the strings to thinner - the "8" or "9" caliber. They are softer. And if you have already "8", then look for strings not hard, and soft.
By performing exercises without a guitar, do not overdo it: you do not need to crunch the joints of the fingers or to the unbearable pain bend or unscrew the brushes. All this is harmful to the unprepared muscles: so close to their stretching.
In class, use the metronome, exposing it at first 45 strikes per minute, and over time, increasing the pace up to 90 or more.
When performing exercises with your left hand, try to play not only with your fingers I-M - train and other pairs: M-A, A-M, M-I, I-A, A-I.
