How many have already spoken-talked about how you can play the guitar! All sorts of tutorials (from professional-tedious to primitive-amateurish), numerous online articles (and explanatory, and stupid), online lessons - everything has already been revised and re-read several times.
You ask: "Why should I waste my time studying this article, if there is more than enough information around?" And then, which is quite difficult to find a description of all the ways of playing the guitar in one place. After reading this text, you will see that there are still places on the Internet where information about the guitar and the ways of playing it is compressed and accurate.
What is the "method of sound", what is its difference from the "game reception"?
At first glance, these two concepts are identical. In fact, the difference between them is significant. The stretched guitar string is the source of the sound and how we make it oscillate and actually sound is called "method of sound". The sound extraction method is the base of the game technique. But "game reception" - it is in some way a decoration or addition to sound extraction.
We give a specific example. Slam along all the strings with your right hand - this method of sound extraction is called hit (alternation of blows - the battle). Now hit the strings with your thumb on the strings in the area of the stand (the blow should be made in the form of a sharp turn or swing of the hand towards the thumb) - this method of the game is called tambourine. The two techniques are similar, but the first is a way to extract sound; it is used quite often; but the second is in some way a kind of "strike", and therefore is a technique of playing the guitar.
Read more about the tricks here, and in this article we will focus on the description of methods of sound.
All ways of guitar picking
Strike, fight and rasgeado
Beat and fight are most often used as an accompaniment to singing. To master them is quite simple. The most important thing is to observe the rhythm and directions of hand movements.
One type of strike is rasgeado - a colorful Spanish technique, which is an alternate blow to the strings with each of the fingers (except the large) of the left hand. Before you perform rasgeado guitar, you should practice without a tool. Make a fist. Starting from the little finger, spring out your fingers. Movement should be clear and elastic. Have tried? Move the fist to the strings and do the same.
Tirando and Apoyando
The next trick is tirando or play pinch. The essence of the reception - alternate twitching of the strings. This method of picking is played by standard battles. If you decide to master the tirando, then pay special attention to the hand - when playing it should not be caught in the hand.
Reception apoyando (or a game based on the neighboring string) is very characteristic of Flamenco music. This way of playing is simpler than tirando - when you pinch the string, your finger hangs not in the air, but rests on the next string. The sound in this case is more vivid and rich.
Keep in mind that the tirando allows you to play at a fast pace, but playing with the support significantly slows down the guitarist at a pace of performance.
The following video presents all the above methods of sound extraction: rasgeado, tirando and apoyando. And the apoyando plays mainly the thumb - this is the flamenco "trick", a monophonic melody or a melody in bass is always played on the support with your thumb. When you accelerate the pace performer goes to the pinch.
Slap - the corona "reception" bass guitarists
Slap You can also call it an exaggerated pinch, that is, the performer jerks the strings in such a way that, when they hit the ends of the guitar, they make a characteristic clicking sound. As a method of picking on a classical or acoustic guitar is rarely used, here it is more popular as a “surprise effect”, imitating a shot or a whip.
Slap is known to every bass guitarist: except for the string hold-up with the index and middle finger, they also strike the thick upper strings of the bass with their thumb.
An excellent example of the technique of the slap can be seen in the next video.
Tapping or piano technique
The youngest method of sound extraction (he is not more than 50 years old) is called tepping. Pope teppings can be called flageolet - it has been improved with the advent of super-sensitive guitars.
Tapping can be one- and two-part. In the first case, the hand (right or left) strikes the strings on the neck of the guitar. But the two-part tapping is similar to the game of pianists - each hand plays its own independent part on the neck of the guitar by striking and tightening strings. Due to some similarities with the piano, this method of sound and got a second name - piano technique.
An excellent example of the use of teping can be viewed not in the unknown film "August Rush". Roller hands are not the hands of Freyd Heimor playing the role of a boy genius. Actually, these are the hands of Kaki King, a famous guitar player.
Everyone chooses for himself the technique of performance that is closer to him. Those who prefer to sing songs with a guitar - master the technique of combat, rarely bust. Those who want to play plays learn tirando. More sophisticated techniques are blind and tapping - needed by those who are going to connect their lives with music, if not from the professional side, then from the serious amateur one.
The techniques of the game, in contrast to the methods of sound, do not require much effort to master, so be sure to learn the technique of their implementation in this article.
