A teacher who has played guitar for ten years told Ah Qiang that beginners learn guitar is the easiest to take detours, the teacher summed up 5 detours that self-taught guitar will inevitably take, friends who want to learn guitar or have learned guitar, come and see you?
Detour one: Buy a bad guitar
Many guitar beginners, the first guitar bought is a beautiful appearance, but there is no timbre, pitch, music to speak of inferior guitar toys. Buying such a guitar does not say that you learn the guitar well, you may not even be able to feel what the real tone of the guitar is.
Playing this guitar will make your hands hurt so much that you eventually give up on learning.
So, the first time you buy a guitar, be sure to buy the best within your budget. The price suggested by the teacher is between 500-2000 yuan, and it is not recommended to buy it at a cheaper price.
Detour two: the pursuit of speed
Learning guitar is not learning english, as long as you understand it. Even if you understand the guitar, you still have to practice the basic skills of a large number of systems, and you need to constantly correct mistakes and then correct them in the practice.
Therefore, please don't believe the kind of "guitar crash course" on the market, many guitar teachers promote it through the gimmick of the crash, the purpose is to attract attention and circle money.
The most efficient way to learn a guitar is to play steadily, step by step, and practice in the order of the professional textbook. You also need to find a professional guitar teacher to guide the exercises.
This will not only allow you to take fewer detours, save time and correct some basic errors in time to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent learning.
Detour 3: Ignore the practice of basic skills
There are many friends who are anxious to learn guitar, and they practice chords and songs as soon as they come up. Neglect the most important basic exercises, such as the practice of the chromatic scale, the practice of the C scale, etc. In the end, the result is that when playing some pieces, the speed cannot keep up, the chords are not pressed well, and the skills are not skilled.
When people with solid basic skills play a song or song, they are very stable and the rhythm and beat are very good. This is the difference between good and good, and the basic skill is to help you play better, not just I can play and play badly.
Therefore, you should learn the basics well from the beginning of guitar practice. The basics are a treasure trove of resources, and all guitar skills are derived from them.
Detour 4: Do not practice with metronomes
Is this happening to you?
Singing and singing are not combined, when playing a song, it is fast and slow, and it is never on the beat... This is all due to not opening the metronome to practice.
Many people think that they have learned for a period of time, can play some finger flicks, it is a bit "floating", in fact, in the eyes of insiders, the music you play is not on the beat at all. Playing is not the same as playing well, we must play the piano well and play steadily.
Metronomes have the following functions:
Metronomes can cultivate the concept of speed
The metronome can make the performance more complete and smooth, and the rhythm is more even
The metronome can make the attention focus and improve the efficiency of the practice
Therefore, when practicing, please be sure to practice with the metronome.
Detour Five: Mistakes in posture and habits
Beginners to guitar, if you do not pay attention to the cultivation of posture and habits, it will affect your advanced level, will make your bottleneck period come earlier, resulting in the speed of the song can not keep up, playing badly.
For a simple example: the tiger's mouth clenches the neck, slides up and down or switches chords, which is a wrong posture, which will cause the left finger to touch the lower root string when pressing the string, resulting in a murmur or muffled sound.
The correct posture is to leave a full gap in the tiger's mouth, the wrist is extended forward, and the fingers are perpendicular to the fingerboard, like the fingers playing the piano, so that they can avoid touching the lower string to produce noise.
Successful people need to take it slowly step by step, don't be anxious!
