How to learn guitar well

40 points to remember before learning guitar!

1. Learn guitar as a musical instrument (like erhu flute, nothing special).

Learn more about music theory, and don't stop reading just because you are a beginner.

3. Don't be fooled by Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Ibanze, PRS and other brands-they are just tools, and what we want to learn is an art of how to play the guitar.

4. Don't let go of any seemingly simple basic exercises. It is not easy for them to get to Wang, otherwise they can lead to many advanced skills.

Just because you have a bunch of Gibson and Fanta at home doesn't mean you can play the piano, okay?

6. It is not difficult to learn the piano, but it is difficult to keep practicing and remain modest for a long time.

7. If you are not a genius and want to learn the guitar well, don't think about how to soak up MM. The legend has been upgraded. Please spend at least 2 hours practicing every day, otherwise you can't expect to really play, except cheating an ignorant mm.

8. You can't learn guitar just by reading all kinds of textbooks.

9. impetuous people say: XXX people can't play well, they should learn from XXX. -You can't do it yourself.

10. impetuous people say: what should I practice? -Don't ask, just practice.

1 1. impetuous people say: is there a future for playing the piano? -I suggest you rob a bank.

12. The impetuous person said: I want the best and most beautiful piano, but the domestic Squier can't play it, and neither can the timbre. -I don't think you can go out.

13. impetuous people say: which is better, master XX or master YY? -I'm telling you, it's all good. There are some things you should learn.

14. There are two kinds of impetuous people: 1) people who only irrigate and pat bricks without practicing the piano; 2) People who can only practice but can't persist.

15. Instead of talking about difficult skills, it is better to practice the foundation.

16. Guitar is just a musical instrument and a tool. Do you have music in your heart?

17. One way to learn the guitar is to play it correctly from the beginning.

18. The second way to learn guitar: find a good teacher.

19. The third way to learn guitar: communicate with people more.

20. Let others go quickly, you have to take your time.

2 1. Never think that having a good piano in your hand is enough.

Please cherish the piano in your hand, no matter how cheap it is.

Please read the music theory that you can understand carefully. If you can't understand it, please bite the bullet and read on.

24. Don't expect to remember anything after reading it once. Please watch the second and third times and practice on the piano.

25. Don't always ask some retarded questions. Before you ask, check the book and turn over the previous posts. You're not that lazy, are you?

26. Discuss meaningful guitar knowledge with others instead of arguing about which is better, XX or YY.

27. Don't take yourself seriously just because the comeback is very similar. It's far away, and there is no end to learning.

28. Please don't think there will be any problem if you learn classical or folk songs and then turn to electroacoustic-you are just learning a brand-new musical instrument.

29. Listen to the master's performance and music more, and then decide whether you have studied guitar.

30. The secret of learning guitar well is: practice, practice and practice again.

3 1. Do you think playing guitar is cool and cool? Then I suggest you do street dance.

32. Remember: it is not only the guitar that can express music.

33. Since you have decided to learn guitar, please stick to it.

34. Let various brands of pianos compete. We should concentrate on learning guitar and music itself.

35. Nothing can make faster progress than writing, choosing and composing songs in person.

Don't worry, it's not easy to play a piece of music perfectly. You just need to keep practicing to improve it.

37. Don't follow the basic skills and fingering, or even turn on the metronome, just because the music is simple. Good habits are formed at ordinary times, so don't fall on your head during the performance.

38. If possible, please keep the songs you have written and recorded-they are your best accumulation and good memories.

39. Please don't be impetuous.

40. Please love guitar, music and the people you love.

How to be a colorful guitarist

I think for anyone who plays the guitar, basic skills must be the first important thing. If you want to be a good guitarist, please practice hard. For example, which of the top ten heavy metal guitarists in the world didn't practice basic skills many times before playing fast and clean?

The chromatic scale must be played in 24 big cities, and it must be played quickly and cleanly.

Then do RE MI...XI means all hair.

It will be easier when you master it all. You can practice the exercises in the textbook, such as sweeping and clicking strings. One by one, refine and then change.

If you have mastered it all, you are already excellent. There is another difficult thing. Change the chromatic practice and plucking method from DO to XI (for example, from up and down to up and down). This is a bit challenging. If the plenary session is over, the song can already be played.

Pay attention to playing songs. My suggestion is that it is best not to play China songs. Of course, some people will accuse me of betraying my country.

In fact, China lags behind foreign guitars for many years, and now China lacks rock soil.

I think it is best to play famous singers, such as VAN halen or Steve Van or OZZY.METALLICA.

Songs should not be difficult, because your basic skills have been practiced.

Learn a few songs and then perform them, so that everyone will be convinced of you.

Now that the basic skills are all right, you can learn music theory and various styles. Sticking to playing the guitar with the staff will make progress, and use your own skills to increase your feelings when you are familiar with the songs.

If your plenary session is thorough, then you can go to a big place to play the piano. I promise someone will want you and rob you!

Ten keys to playing the guitar well

Some young guitar lovers are determined to become guitarists out of their passion for guitar, so they practice the piano hard. After a while, I can actually play some difficult solos (regardless of the performance quality). Then he pretended to be a performer, always feeling that the world was unfair to him, because he felt that segovia, Ye Peisi and others were not much better than him, but the timing was better. This kind of emotion makes him confused, arrogant and narcissistic, so that he looks down on all guitar lovers. This phenomenon may have become commonplace. Actually, it's nobody's fault. These young people don't know that being a performer is more than just playing a few pieces. This paper hopes that through the introduction of several aspects, guitar lovers can improve themselves more comprehensively and become veritable guitarists.

First of all, the basic qualities that a professional guitarist should possess.

Professional guitarists (including guitar teachers) should have good musical quality and cultural accomplishment. Music quality includes: 1. Sensitivity to intonation; 2. Accurate understanding and expression of rhythm; 3. Understanding and expression of harmony and polyphony; 4. Solfeggio training; 5. The feeling, understanding and expressive force of music connotation. (including understanding the composer's intentions, his own experiences, his own ideas, etc.). The above requirements are not about the ability of playing skills, but they will undoubtedly affect a person's ability to accept and express music. For example, sensitivity to intonation and harmony can find mistakes in music scores in time; Some basic knowledge of composition can help you correct mistakes in music score; Solfeggio training can help you quickly record music you have never heard before and hear records; Having a high level of appreciation can make you know more about the styles, advantages and disadvantages of different players, instead of blindly imitating the recording when playing a certain piece of music. All these are enough to illustrate the importance of music quality.

How to improve your self-cultivation quickly? First of all, we should have a certain cultural level, read some famous books and experience people's thoughts, lives and pursuits in different times. Listen to different forms and styles of music, including vocal music and instrumental music. You can also read some books introducing world famous songs and enjoy related music.

Solfeggio is a training that amateurs easily ignore. Under amateur conditions, it is easier and more effective to use the first sound roll call method. Different from the fixed roll call, we should first pay attention to the position of the tonic, and we don't have to use special textbooks. Just sing the scores of all kinds of treble clefs you can find, such as the scores of violin, flute, trumpet, keyboard instruments and so on. It is basically enough to write a piece of music in a row (but a qualified performer can not only hear the melody of the music, but also distinguish the mode, chord and polyphony and write it down).

In a word, if you want to be a conscientious person, you can gradually improve your quality by paying attention to the combination of systematic learning at any time.

Second, how to get a satisfactory guitar

As the saying goes, "if a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first." Having a handy guitar is really the first problem for guitar lovers. This is especially true for people with higher level, but it is not easy to do this under the current situation in China. First, high-end domestic guitars are not easy to buy; Second, the performance of imported goods-the price ratio is often too big to bear. The author's suggestion is: buying imported goods should be affordable; Second, we should entrust real experts to buy brand-name guitars. Knowing the model can guarantee the quality, as well as the approximate price, manufacturing materials and workmanship, and the timbre is also guaranteed. I don't know the model, I only know the brand, and I am likely to be fooled. If there are conditions, I suggest that fans buy high-grade pianos produced by domestic manufacturers with reliable reputation, which is far better and more affordable than buying foreign guitars.

Don't forget the role of strings when buying a guitar. High-quality strings will add a lot of color to the sound of the guitar. In addition, different environments will give people completely different impressions. For example, in a large and quiet empty room, the sound of any guitar will be more pleasant because of strong reverberation. Therefore, bringing a guitar you are familiar with to compare and identify will make your evaluation more accurate and objective.

Third, how to arrange the practice time scientifically

The progress of guitar playing depends on scientific and persistent long-term efforts. Some people say that it is a joke for a performer to bear "lifelong hard labor", but it shows the importance of systematic and long-term practice.

The first is the problem of daily practice time. It should be admitted that people are different. It is said that the violin master Paganini seldom practices the piano but has superhuman skills. But some people need to practice for seven or eight hours every day to make progress, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain their level. Of course, this is also related to people's diligence. For example, Kazuhito Yamashita, a young Japanese musician, spends six hours practicing the piano every day. According to statistics, the practice time of general professional players is about four hours. For anyone, the progress of skills is the accumulation of time, and it is only an illusion to think that if you understand it, you will master it.

Concentrated practice is the most effective practice method. How to arrange practice time directly affects efficiency. Individuals should arrange the most favorable practice time according to their own specific conditions, and try to avoid external interference from affecting themselves when practicing. Exercise can be divided into two or three segments every day to avoid excessive fatigue affecting attention. But it's not good to spread it too much. It's like boiling a pot of water on the stove for a while, taking it down, cooling it and putting it on for a while, so the pot of water won't boil all day.

Fourth, how to practice daily and how to practice strange songs.

Daily exercises mainly solve three problems: 1. Basic skills and skills. 2. Learn new songs. 3. Improve the expressive power of music. They can each take up one-third of the time (or according to their own situation). But the first practice every day should be based on basic skills training to make your fingers flexible. Basic skills include all kinds of scale exercises and arpeggio exercises, but the exercises must be focused, that is, they should be arranged according to their own shortcomings. Instead of blindly practicing one paragraph at a time. In addition, etudes are different from solfeggio. If you practice etudes and play well, increase or decrease the speed and volume appropriately and use them freely, you can improve the effect of practice. It's best to choose a few songs for different purposes in each practice to avoid negligence. If you want to choose scale practice, arpeggio practice, music with different modes, rhythms and harmony to practice. With good basic skills, you can greatly improve the speed of practicing the piano. The exercise mentioned above is to improve the flexibility and adaptability of fingers and improve the ability of audition. You should find some unfamiliar music scores to read. Concentrate on practice, slow and steady, and make as few mistakes as possible. Good performers have strong sight-reading ability, so they can master a lot of performances.

Most students like to listen to the recording first, or practice songs that they are already familiar with but have not learned, but they are not interested in the songs they have never heard or find it difficult to practice. This practice method is very flawed. Due to the lack of understanding and objective analysis of music, poor imitation is caused by preconceived impressions. The correct way is: even if you are familiar with the music, you should strictly read the score, solfeggio the melody slowly according to the correct rhythm, and then try to play it slowly according to the score and the fingering marked on it. Also analyze whether fingering is scientific and reasonable? There are two aspects to consider. First, the demand for music, such as whether a sound is more suitable for the handle and strings; Second, fingering should be easy to play, and exceeding technical ability will affect the performance of music. Unreasonable fingering can be marked and corrected according to your own situation. In addition, play loudly to make yourself more confident. You can also practice the technically complicated parts separately and then synthesize them. After proficiency, the speed will naturally go up. At this time, we should pay attention to the musical terms on the score to understand and express them. At this time, when listening to the recording, you will not blindly imitate it, but you will be able to appreciate the style of the performers and the strengths of each family. If you persist for a long time, you will form your own style of play.

Music that I have never heard before is also learned in the above way. But pay more attention to intonation and rhythm. You can use the guitar to play only the melody part of the music, as beautiful as possible, to experience the artistic conception and taste of the music. Any music is easy to practice as long as you are familiar with the melody.

Always review the songs you have mastered and listen to your performances carefully. The tape recorder is a good mirror, and it is often easier to find your own shortcomings when listening to the recording. Repeated scrutiny will improve the expressive power of music.

For the needs of future performances, there must be reserved tracks. Remember the music while keeping the track. You can play it at any time without looking at the music. It is best to play these songs once a day, especially the difficult ones. When you can't play all the tracks once a day, you can choose key exercises. But if you always practice the most difficult part, you will find that there are often big holes in those parts that you think are sure when you perform on stage.

Five, how to choose a mentor

In view of the current level of guitar education in China, it can be said that it is difficult to have a unified answer to this question. I just give you some suggestions for your reference.

There are many teachers teaching guitar now, and the teaching materials are varied: staff, staff and notation. Folk singing, pop performance and orthodox classicism are all available. And anyone who can play a little guitar has the right to teach, so it is not easy to choose a good teacher. In my opinion, any amateur who intends to formally accept the classical guitar course must choose a teacher who uses the nail bullet nylon string classical guitar and uses the staff to teach. Although self-study is also valuable, it is often difficult to standardize the playing posture and the teacher's level is not assessed. So listen to other people's reactions before joining the league.

Every stage of sublimation may produce new teachers. Unless you have a reliable high-level teacher. Even so, ask someone else. But please remember, don't participate in the contradiction between teachers. For the differences in teaching methods, we can think about the reasons, choose a reasonable learning method, or make euphemistic suggestions to teachers. Of course, we should not hesitate to leave those irresponsible "teachers" who only talk big.

At present, there are two kinds of formal classes: one is group class and the other is individual class. Pay special attention to the class in group class and remember what the teacher emphasizes.

If it is difficult to find a qualified guitar teacher at the moment, you can also find someone with musical literacy. Such as professional pianist, violinist, conductor, etc. Let them be your teachers. Listen to your performance and make them ask for music. I think the effect will definitely be better.

In recent years, there are more and more foreign lecturers in China, so it is good to give lectures carefully. But we should not be too superstitious. It is also one-sided to think that the moon in foreign countries is more round than that in China. In short, teachers and students are two contradictory aspects. Good teachers are hard to find, but it is undoubtedly very important to have a good learning attitude and methods, always pay attention to all kinds of knowledge related to music, and accumulate and summarize it.

6. How to deal with music of different times and regions?

Forming your own style never means dealing with all music in the same way. On the contrary, colorful repertoire and diverse expressive force are what a real guitarist must have.

Music of different times and different regions (countries). There are considerable differences in composition and performance styles. Judging from the current repertoire of classical guitar concerts, the earliest music was in the16th century, which can be basically divided into Renaissance, Baroque, Classical Music, Romanticism, Impressionism, National Orientalism, Modern Polyphony and atonal Music, and even music adapted from pop music and jazz music.

From the perspective of music history, music has changed from simple to complex and diversified, and harmony has become more and more complex from triad to seventh, ninth, eleventh and thirteenth chords. The rhythm has changed from strict regularity to changing with emotions, and the mood has changed from solemn and elegant to self-expression. The atonal music has completely abandoned the most important features of orthodox music, such as tonality, harmony system and melody structure. Some of these features can be quickly identified from the music score, and some can be appreciated, guessed and experienced by referring to various recordings or concerts performed by famous artists. Of course, they not only listen to guitar music, piano, violin, symphony and jazz. The biggest difference between them in rhythm and classical music is that the speed of classical music is variable but the duration of notes is quite accurate, while pop music can arbitrarily change the duration of notes to lead or lag rather than change the speed for its "taste".

Imitation is an important means to learn all kinds of arts. But the main purpose of imitation is to understand other people's artistic expression methods for your reference and broaden your repertoire as much as possible. For example, Bach's lute adapted into a guitar has the characteristics of elegant polyphony, while beria's and Sol's works maximize the brilliant effect of playing classical music on the guitar. tarrega's guitar music attaches great importance to the characteristics of the guitar itself, so that it can only be played without the guitar. The piano works of Al bernice and granados have been adapted into guitar music, which highlights the national characteristics of Spanish music, while the bold and straightforward South American style of Laurel and Vera Robbs is unforgettable. To properly express these different styles of music, we really need good cultivation and sensitivity to music, and we need to work hard to grasp the essential characteristics of various styles of music. Appreciate, analyze, compare, identify, practice, and draw your own conclusions in order to succeed.

Seven, how to participate in the guitar competition

Taking part in the competition is a good opportunity to test yourself and become famous in one fell swoop, so many people are particularly willing to take part in the competition and are eager to become famous. However, many of them have not achieved corresponding results because they chose the wrong strategy. The author only puts forward some suggestions for fans to participate in domestic guitar competitions: there are standard tracks and optional tracks, but there are no standard tracks. In addition, it is stipulated that the same track cannot be submitted in the preliminary, semi-finals and finals, and there is no unified regulation. As far as its scientific nature is concerned, each round has standard tracks and can provide music scores. The semi-finals and finals have self-selected tracks (played within the specified time), which is a more formal competition.

For standard music, if the organizing committee provides a score, you must play it meticulously according to the fingering, and pay attention to all kinds of expression marks on the score. These are very important scoring criteria. If you have good skills and expressive force, it is not worth deducting points just because of fingering. In addition, don't think that you can win praise quickly. When we appreciate music, we pay attention to its beauty rather than its difficulty. This is the easiest place for performers and appreciators to separate.

You still have to follow the above rules when choosing your own songs. A well-performed sketch is better than a fragmented sonata. So be sure to choose the music you can, and don't let the skills affect the expressive force. Many people think that as long as you choose difficult songs, you will get high marks, which will be very dangerous. Even in gymnastics competition, difficulty and completion complement each other. Of course, the person who finally performs well should of course be the winner.

If conditions permit, try not to choose repeated tracks (different tracks in each round) to show your strength (there is a saying: "If a person has only one hair, no matter how dark or long, people can only call him bald).

In addition, the psychological quality of the competition also plays a decisive role in the performance of the competition, and the reasons that affect the mood are as follows:

1. Lack of self-confidence and fear of making mistakes. In fact, everyone makes mistakes on stage. Don't worry about making mistakes. Concentrate on the performance of music and tell yourself that others will be so nervous and feel better.

I'm worried that the judge will be unfair. Although this phenomenon is not everywhere, it is also common. However, it is good to listen to Kazuhito Yamashita's words: "The competition provides a rare opportunity to perform in front of the best concert hall and many of the most famous musicians, and only requires a small registration fee ... He listens to you very carefully ... I have no ambition in the competition, just regard him as a rare concert." Indeed, if you don't always think about ranking, playing ball will be much easier. One more thing, the audience is the judge of the judges. If you are the uncrowned king, do you feel very calm or wronged? I think the former is better. In addition, the game is just a game, which will deprive a person of happiness all his life, and there will be opportunities in the future. Remember that the above words should be effective.

3. Insufficient preparation. Just because of the difficulty of music, I completely forgot how to play it on the stage. During the performance, there was something wrong with the string or nail, and I forgot to bring the footstool. My eyes suddenly saw someone below. I panicked and my mind went blank. These are also important reasons for my nervousness. The solution is: everything should be carried out in a planned and step-by-step manner. First, the repertoire played in the competition should be practiced very skillfully, nails should be trimmed in advance, carefully maintained, and high-quality new strings should be selected in advance. Equalize the pressure. Before the game, make a list of things to bring. Before the game, less contact with people will stabilize your heart. Pay attention to the appearance on the stage, and get close to the microphone if you have one (good timbre and enough volume will increase your confidence). Pay more attention to your own hands, pay less attention to others, listen to your own music, don't pay attention to the mistakes that have happened, and focus on your future performance. I'm sure you'll do your best.

There are still many gaps in participating in international competitions according to China's current standards, but the significance of the competition is similar. As long as you read the articles of association stipulated by the competition Committee in detail, you can understand its requirements and all the rules. These regulations were informed to the players in various ways before the competition. If you want to go abroad to participate in the competition, you should not only understand the procedures and rules of the competition, but also pay more attention to the rigor and emotional handling of music in high-level competitions. If you don't have a qualified executor to guide you when preparing, you can ask.

Eight, how to open a personal concert?

After accumulating a considerable number of tracks, every guitarist will be eager to give a solo concert, which can be divided into formal and informal, ordinary audience or guitar and music lovers. Generally speaking, an informal concert should take more forms of performance, such as classical, folk, electric guitar and violin, flute, harmonica duet and so on. This can not only show their versatility, but also make the general audience not feel bored. In formal performance occasions, such as concert hall performances, one or two forms (solo and ensemble) can generally be used. In the choice of tracks, you often choose music from different historical periods and different countries to highlight your expressive force, and the other is to choose only one composer's works to show your deep foundation and numerous reserved tracks.

Just as every performer has his own style, they also have some shortcomings. When choosing the track, we should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, so that we can give full play to our advantages. The arrangement of track order is also very important. Popular and unfamiliar tracks with different speeds and styles should be well interwoven. In addition, the open and closed tracks must be carefully selected to make the concert hall climax and let the audience enter the mood. * * * Enjoy the music. The announcement words should be concise and explain the music, which can better help the audience understand the content of the music. If the occasion is appropriate, you can also announce it yourself and use appropriate humorous language.

Concerts will also encounter the problem of tension on the spot, and the solution is the same as when participating in the competition. In addition, trying to make the audience understand you and make them love your music is the best way to overcome nervousness. The biggest difference between a concert and a competition is that the main purpose of the competition judges is to compare or find fault, while the audience of the concert comes to enjoy your performance, and they can overcome their panic with full preparation.

Nine, broaden your horizons and improve yourself

Modern society is a colorful, multi-level and multi-angle life. President Reagan used to be a film actor, a famous star and photographer, a famous football player and a medical expert, which almost became the characteristics of "modern people". However, according to our traditional habits, we always think that this kind of "juggling" means "doing nothing", so some people use classical music to oppose pop music and laugh at Williams playing electric guitar. Or think that anyone who knows more than two skills at the same time will inevitably have a low level. The author thinks that the expressive force of guitarists with this idea will be affected to some extent. At present, there are not many guitarists who really play classical guitar as a profession in the world. But guitarists who don't make a living from it are not necessarily low. With the improvement of living conditions, people are no longer concerned about the problem of food and clothing (it is not easy to make a living playing classical guitar abroad), but the pursuit of quality of life and self-improvement. The so-called "amateur" and "professional" are always considered as "level", but in fact, "amateur" just doesn't make a living from it. Therefore, the author believes that we love guitar, want to improve our level and strengthen our artistic accomplishment and attainments, but we don't have to take professional performers as the highest ideal. In our country, which is not rich, the vast number of guitar lovers are crowded in this small circle, which will inevitably disappoint many people. Being single too much will also affect our other abilities. Therefore, the author believes that "modern people" should arrange their own future and broaden their horizons. In music, we should learn classical, modern and popular aspects, grasp their essence and essence, browse aesthetics, painting, sculpture, photography and other artistic aspects, and enrich our appreciation. You should also lay a good foundation of natural science, such as mathematics, science, culture, literature and computer, which will bring you direct or indirect benefits in learning art, and even a good physique will ensure your success, but don't stubbornly think that there is only one way in life.

Ten, unite as one, * * * together for the development of China guitar industry.

It seems that all walks of life are full of contradictions and complex interpersonal relationships, which affect a lot of our energy. However, art is not a sports competition, and it is difficult to absolutely distinguish levels. Real artists should look at problems from an artistic point of view, instead of making irresponsible remarks, comparing their own advantages with others' shortcomings, emphasizing others' shortcomings, and even making personal attacks on others in order to establish personal prestige. Everyone knows himself better, but it is not so easy to know others! In order to improve the overall level of guitar in China, we should advocate artistic ethics, discuss with each other and exchange experiences. In order to raise awareness, different viewpoints can be discussed. Not to overwhelm each other. If every guitar lover can give full play to his potential and devote all his energy to his career, the artistic level of China guitar will be improved rapidly!
