How to learn guitar?
Point 1: Persist
If you want to learn guitar well or achieve your dream of playing and singing, remember the first thing: to learn guitar, you must persist. If you cannot achieve this, then guitar is really difficult for you to continue learning. Because I want to learn the guitar well or play and sing freely like others, when I come to Zui, I point to playing my favorite songs. Persistence is the top priority, and it is very important. I can't fish for three days or bask in the net for two days, otherwise I won't be able to learn well or continue learning.
Point 2: Fundamentals
We all know that building a house requires laying the foundation. If you don't lay the foundation well, it will be difficult to build a good house later on. The guitar is the same, you must learn the basics well. For example, left-handed posture, left-handed span exercises, left-handed basic skills, left-handed scale exercises, left-handed glide techniques, left-handed finger training, left-handed chords, and so on. These are all basic foundations. After completing basic exercises, you will be very relaxed later on. Otherwise, after learning for a few years, you will have to start over again and some mistakes will be difficult to correct. So, basic practice learning is very important.
Third: Basic Chords and Music Theory
Guitar playing and singing is a simple part of guitar learning, but it can be difficult for many people who want to learn guitar. This is because basic chord music theory is not understood. If you grasp the basic music theory, such as sound name, vocal name, notation, scale, major and minor, twelve point average, chord structure, composition principles, rules, beats, rhythms, notes, and so on, and gradually grasp these basic music theory knowledge, then playing and singing is very simple for you, including finger playing which later becomes easy to learn. So, basic chords and music theory must be learned. There is a lot of related knowledge online, and you can use fragmented learning methods, accumulate little by little, and then form a whole, so that you can have a clear understanding.
Third: Right hand wheel rotation
In addition to the basic division of play between the thumb and the other three fingers, the right hand of a guitar must also learn to alternate between two fingers. Don't ask me why, this is a necessary practice. It is helpful for you to learn various famous songs and finger plays, and it is also a basic skill for you. When you learn to a certain extent, you will understand this principle.
Fourth: Understanding Fingering Techniques
When you first learn guitar, you don't understand fingering and often look for fingering everywhere. After learning to a certain extent, you need to have a deep thinking and understanding of fingering. Only by understanding the rules of fingering can you better and more smoothly play various pieces of music. This must be seen, thought, and practiced more, forming your own understanding and methods. This way, learning guitar is twice the result with half the effort.
Fourth: Understanding of Arrangement
If you want to learn guitar well and improve yourself, you must think about how others arrange music, why do they arrange music like this, and what is the basis for their arrangement? After pondering the thoughts behind other people's arrangements, you will quickly play this piece, and no longer play the guitar blindly. You will not play one number after another according to the six line score, and the taste of plain water will pop up. This is also something that must be learned when learning guitar.
