How to play the guitar correctly: see diagrams for beginners, as well as simple songs with chords. Playing the guitar for beginners: important in the beginning - easy to practice How to play the guitar

The guitar beat is perhaps the simplest and most popular type of beat, especially in Russian rock songs. With additional help, you can complete most of the composition. Vzagali gra boem is the most popular way to accompany a singer. The sound is not very complex in four, but it sounds driving and plays more than a few pauses. The beater is an excellent option for both beginners and guitarists.

The graph is very simple, the axis diagram is: down - down-up - up-down-up. Long lines between the arms mean pauses. To better understand how to proceed, play the sequence exactly: down-uphill-down-down-down-down-down-uphill. Practice them under any chords until you get better. Now remove the other and fifth element from the diagram. So you play down, and then you sound up, just move your hand without sticking out the strings, and then continue to play down and up, and again bring your hand empty.

Another simple way to learn how to strum a guitar. You can split the entire sequence into two parts, process them side by side, and then combine them. It looks like this:

  1. down-up-down-up.
  2. down-up-down-up.

Seen elements play with sound, and those not seen, obviously, without sound. Practice the guitar beat on the pieces, and then try to connect. To get the most out of your workout, try playing different chords. For example, the sequences are: C, Am, F, G or Em, C, G, D. There will be a lot of songs on them so that this game will help you not only practice the technique, but also learn the accompaniment of each song in absentia.

Make chords more beautiful if you are playing the pattern on one chord. Many people have difficulties when changing a chord: for example, it is difficult to follow the rhythm and it is not clear at what moment to rearrange the chord. This moment is immediately clear, the chord is rearranged immediately after the remaining stroke up and on the new chord the chord is played down without a pause.

Attached below are video lessons that clearly and clearly show how to play six. It is important to admire them, they will help you clarify unclear points.

What is the sound of music theory?

Apparently, any song has a size that sets, seemingly roughly, a set of notes of various trivialities in the skin tone. So the axis, the guitar shaft and the shaft correspond to the dimensions 4/4 and 2/4. What's wrong with respect. Let's take it apart from the butt 4/4. This size means that there are 4 parts in the skin, which can be considered as two or three parts.

If you put one on one diagram of the battle and shells, you will see that the elements come together. Before speaking, starting to play under the rakhunok is a good way to learn to play correctly and evenly. Try to destroy the skin (including unarmed blows).

You’ll have to give up right away, but it’s impossible, but after a few tries you’ll get everything. This little skill will really help you learn how to assemble more folding combinations.

Combination option for combat

If you are already good at playing the simple variant of combat, you can move on to the complex and effective variant - with jammers. The gri pattern itself is lost, and more muffling is added to the other and fifth strikes. What does add silence mean? This means that we replace the sound by striking the strings with our fingers, and then immediately cover them with the edge of the palm so that the stench stops sounding. If you work with little strength, you may end up with a clattering sound from the beating of the strings under the frets. This sound is louder than it sounds. The video lessons attached below clearly explain how to mute strings correctly.

What songs play in battle

Of course, in order to learn how to play six hundred percent, you need to earn some money. Here is a small list of varied and simple compositions that you can learn to play in six steps:

  1. The remaining dialer.
  2. Orbit without tsukru.
  3. Volodymyr Central.
  4. Three white horses.
  5. If your girl is alone.

In fact, the list is not infinite, if you sleep well, then take any song that suits you, with a confidence of 90%, you will be fine with it. Video lessons on YouTube will help you learn how to sleep correctly with accompaniment.

What types of battles are there?

See how the guitar is played in order, from simple to complex:

  1. Four or simple (down-uphill-down-uphill).
  2. Shistka or variety (army) (you already know the scheme).
  3. Vіmka (down – down – uphill-down-down-uphill-down-uphill).
  4. Spanish.

As you know, battles are called those that come from the number of blows that are fought in them (for the rest). Spanish guitar playing is the whole topic. This collection includes many different ways of accompaniment with various techniques characteristic of Spanish music. Lessons on YouTube clearly explain and show how to stop such speeches.

That's all, we wish you good luck on the difficult journey of mastering the guitar. We believe that this little girl put you on the road until the snow. We remember that we also have a group on VKontakte, where we contribute a variety of lessons, sheet music, tablature, videos and other useful materials for guitarists. Come in!

And a small gift - a lesson from the Spanish battle!

Doesn't it bother you to quickly rearrange the chords? Is solo important to you? The sound of brooding? Can't hear your fingers?
No problem. In this post we’ll talk about how you can overcome the “whims” of coordination in a couple of independent tasks.

As a teacher, I often struggle with the problem of the “unhearing fingers” of students. Approximately the third ear recognizes difficulties when changing chords and when playing musical works with adjacent notes. There is nothing terrible in this, but with proper work this problem can easily be solved. Please, I give everyone the same rights (I will post videos of them below). The only difference is how many times you have the right to play to one or another student - but decide individually.

The real problem lies in the current situation:
It’s not the level of coordination of the head official of the guitarist who started not too long ago, but THE RIGHT IS THE INCORRECT POSITION OF THE HANDS!

When a child comes to class before me and has never touched a guitar in her hands, everything is simple and understandable. As soon as I have the chance to tinker with my motor skills, I know that very soon I will, rearranging my little fingers, play simple childish songs, and then, awkward sketches, then there will be chord forms, play classical and create, etc. More to come. Working with children is not so difficult. Folders work with boys of more mature age and with mature ones - self-taught. When you come to the first lesson of a student who has begun to study himself, and it seems that someone has a problem with the sound and delays when changing chords, everything immediately becomes clearer. I probably know why I shouldn’t go into anything even before I play. Compromises are always the same, there are rarely blames. Well, I’m already thinking: a little bit will be more important here.
Why? That one needs to relearn.

Ale, don't shout. If you have a similar problem, take a little time to think, and you can figure out without much difficulty how to correct the power issues.
So, let's get out of the way:

1. THE POSITION OF THE GUITAR PLAYER’S HANDS IS EXTREMELY INCORRECT – THE RESULT OF AN IMPROPER SEAT.
2. THE MOST EXTENSIVE COMMITMENT OF THE GREAT GUITARIST – BAZHANNA TO VIDRAZ PLAY YOUR FAVORITE SONG.
3. TO THE GUITAR PLAYER WHO HAS STARTED STARTING WITH GRAY CHORDS, BEING COMPLETE, TO THE GUITAR PLAYER WHO PRACTICES IN THE EARLIER PLAYING MELODIES AROUND THE NOTES.

It is necessary to understand that there are two categories of self-taught guitarists:

1. Those who immediately try to learn a song by chords, and in which they are forced to play by BOOM (up to this category there should be the largest number of practitioners).

2. Those who try to play the melody or solo from the beginning, strumming with strong notes, or try to strum by picking (arpeggio).

These two groups have completely different categories of powerful pardoners.

Let's take a look at the first group:

The greatest favor of a guitarist who starts with chords is to immediately play his favorite song.
Instead of learning from the beginning the basic chords, then the basic types of combat, and then putting it all together, the guitarist-cob often takes a song as he should, marveling at its analysis on the Internet and as a rule we cannot trace it vivchiti.
Call the most important - coordination of battle and chords.
Unfortunately, those whose sound and transitions from chord to chord are good, often cannot learn the other beat, if they are surprised at the analysis of the song. The stench just doesn’t go away with the rhythm. I'm not talking about spiv anymore.
It’s important to remember that they often don’t understand how to properly approach and practice rhythmic combat.
What is a rhythmic little one? I'll explain in a moment.
That’s all the main types of combat (I don’t mean to overdo it, but there are no blame). Vikorists in this battle, you can play almost any song. Skin fighting has its own rhythmic baby (rhythmomodus), which must be understood and not confused with the rhythmic baby of another fight. The axis is called the rhythm modules, and the types of combat (popular names):

1. Beat four (rhythm modus “four four”).
2. Beat the weight (rhythm mode “weigh the eight”).
3. Beat three (rhythm mode “three quarters”).
4. Beat six (rhythmomodus “six eights”).

So the axis, the rhythm mode of this skin battle is a kind of rhythmic turnover (eng. Loop), which repeats itself all hour long. My musical style can be called tact. Well, who knows a lot. And the main thing is to remember such a beat, and not to confuse it with the beat of another battle, and then combine a number of beats at once without wandering up and down beats, so that the most consistent, stable beat, for the rich the tribute is not easy .

Well, we were talking about the first problem of guitarists who are starting to learn songs with chords.
Another problem for this group of cochids is the poor transitions between chords and the poor sound. In principle, there are two problems, but let’s combine them into one, so that everything happens at once.
Let’s do it with the left hand. Watch the video, in which I will show you how to sound the left hand of a guitarist who plays chords WRONGLY.

Increase your respect - the hand is tense, “squeezed”, and the fingers seem to “stick” at once.

With your finger, do not “stand” on the strings, as is required, but “lie” on them, thereby blocking the crooked strings at the bottom and muffling the sound.
And now marvel at how the left hand works, and what sound it makes:

Well, let’s try to understand why our left hand “can’t hear us.”
Let's take a look at the fact that many guitarists HAVE THE WRONG FITTING.
I have already explained in one of the videos how to sit with a guitar correctly.
There is a “classic” position when the guitarist trims the guitar on his left nose.

Encourage me to sit like this with a classical guitar.

I have a “free style” when the guitarist trims the guitar on his right nose.

So invite yourself to sit with an acoustic or electric guitar.

So the axle, if the landing was vibrated. The most important thing for your LEFT ARM is to bend the elbow joint when it becomes approximately 90 degrees.

Due to the fact that guitarists-cobs sit incorrectly, the neck of the guitar goes far to the left, the elbow opens up, and through the whole fingers they cannot press the strings, and most often become warped.

If you have identified a similar problem, simply lift the neck of the guitar a little higher. Try bringing your left hand closer to you and bending your elbow. The fingers of the left hand, in this case, curl perpendicular to the strings and squeeze the frets tightly.


Free landing (guitar on the right nose)


Classic fit (guitar on left nose)

If the fret is not pressed like a trace, you can change the cut of the fret dozens of times, and you will not make any sound. Your fingers must squeeze the animal’s hands and not get twisted.

I hope you have come to your senses.
In order for the sound to come out clear, sit correctly and start playing the sequence of chords. Take the simplest chords for the cob. Don’t play straight away, just play the skin chord every time from the bottom down and work on the transitions, like this:

When you start to feel better and the sound becomes clearer, take this easy song that consists of three or four chords, without a bar. Play the beat around the open strings. Then play the chords of the song one by one, in the simplest beat, downward (like in the video), and then combine the beat and the chords at once.
I sing to you, you will see a wonderful result. If nothing comes out after this, go after the orders, as I have given more.

Well, now let's talk about another group of Pochatkivts. About those who start solo from the beginning, pick and play classical works and fingerstyle. In the meantime, say, a guitarist who, having started playing, sooner or later tries to play a solo melody or fingerpicking, so this information will be useful for everyone. Marvel at the axis of the widest song of the cob guitarist, who plays solo or fingerpicked:

I call it a “babe”. Return respect to your right hand. Vaughn is squeezed, the brush is squeezed to the soundboard. The fingers are strongly bent and pressed together forcibly.

How do you care, why do you care? The reason is simple, and we have already talked about it: The head is in the wrong position.
Watch the video again. This is how the guitarist’s hand correctly pronounces the RIGHT:

Look respectfully at the elbow of your right hand:

PLACE YOUR HAND ON THE TOP OF THE GUITAR, AND THE BEND OF THE ELBOW JOINT IS ALSO APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREES.

And now marvel at the BRUSH of the right hand!

It should be approximately 90 degrees, and it is NOT PUSHED TO THE WILD IN ANY WAY! PHALANGES OF THE FINGERS PERPENDICULAR TO THE STRINGS!

So, when a guitarist-cob takes the guitar, he immediately lowers the neck and seems to “encircle the guitar” with his right hand.

In this case, the guitar does not touch the hand, and as a result the guitarist receives support, his hand does not lie on the other side of the guitar, as is the case with butts, but floats in the wind:

And now UVAGA: Through the absence of support of the right arm and hand, it finds support on the upper deck. The valley is pressed, the fingers are curled, and a “poop” comes out.

So, what needs to be done to eliminate such problems?

The answer is simple: Raise the neck and place the BUDDLE OF YOUR RIGHT ARM up onto the side of the GUITAR:

Somebody doesn’t know, but doesn’t remember: The forearm is not part of the arm from the shoulder to the elbow, but the part of the arm from the hand to the elbow. The very same thing is PUT ON THE OBJCHANKA.

You can tell yourself that you relaxed your right hand and it fell, it fell off the guitar, which means you are sitting incorrectly. The guitar may hurt your hand and your hand is not to blame for falling.
Of course, if you decided to sit incorrectly, your new position may initially become unfamiliar and you will be unable to gamble, or rather change your mind at once, without having to pay for it later. If you play incorrectly at the singing stage, you will become loud and will not be able to collapse further. And relearning at that stage will be much easier.
And definitely try the classic position with the guitar on the left nose, since your guitar is classic.

Perhaps, it’s easier for you to raise the bar. Don’t forget to place a support under your left leg as if you were sitting in a “classical” position.

In principle, there is no special, stable point of support for the right hand, so you have to find it individually for yourself, obviously up to your “importance”, but remember to “hug” the guitar and move your right hand to the side without a trace. The hand lies on the animal’s back, fingers perpendicular to the strings. Consider that when the guitarist, after playing solo and picking, moves on to strumming, the right hand drops a little and the elbow approaches the side.

For those who want to learn how to sing, play solos with bass, and also read from a sheet using tablature, I invite you to my free video course - “GET AWARE OF GRATING ON TABULATURY, AND ALSO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CLASSICS AND FINGERS YLU":

The course is ABSOLUTELY COST-FREE, all you have to do is like it and send it to your friends.
The course consists of eleven video lessons with analysis of popular melodies, such as: “Rozheva Panther”, “Evil, Pogany, Harniy”, “Menuet in C Major” (I. S. Bach), and much more. All melodies are given in order from easy to complex. Having completed this course, you will be able to learn solo, play in two voices (with bass), and read the tabaks behind the scenes.

In musical notations of guitar parts, it is possible to sharpen the markings, which indicate the direct strike on the string. If you follow these recommendations, be sure to listen to the musicians. Do not be surprised by the fact that our site is not a self-taught guide to playing the guitar, we respect the need for a few reports on this topic in order to make a reasonable change in these signs.

A bit of theory. We can see that the guitarist presses the strings with his left hand, and plays sounds with his right hand. It seems that the musician is playing with his right hand (guitarist, violinist, etc.). I'm playing myself. The emotionality of playing is demonstrated by the very right hand of a musician who plays string instruments.

There are plenty of ways to create sounds in a guitarist’s arsenal. We are talking in this article about those ways of playing, if the right hand does not play on many strings, but draws sounds from the singing strings. For example, play by fingerpicking, or solo with your fingers or with a pick.

When you play with your fingers, the great finger compresses the string of the beast, and the mouth of the fingers - from below. If you need to play to suit the Swede, then play with your middle and middle fingers, as if running your fingers, softening the strings below. There are a lot of options, we have less respect for those that most often the great finger bends the string of the beast, the back of the fingers - from below. Of course, there are mistakes.

When playing with a mediator, the string is played both like a beast and below. The blow to the beast is stronger, the note is easier to accentuate, so the stronger parts are often played by the blow of the pick to the beast. Swede parties usually play with vicious blows to the beast from below.

Intended to hit the string directly

Direct strikes on the strings (burn below) are indicated under the notes by the next rank:

If groups of notes are repeated, or even a similar rhythmic note, it is enough to directly hit the ear of the note with a pick, and the repetition can be omitted. Let's take a look at a good example, in which we can immediately guess some other elements of the sheet music. Ozhe, butt:

V. Monti, “Czardas”

The little one depicts a part of the famous creation “Csardas” by Vittorio Monti. When listening, you will feel the fragment below the images on the score. The music is already great :)

Signs indicate blows with a mediator from the top to the bottom. To increase your respect - on strong parts (the beginning and middle of the beats) hit the beast itself to the bottom.

Signs indicate blows with a mediator from below to above. To restore respect - blows and the worst will be fought. There are 2 blows afterward, where the necessary blow is a strong part. Marvel at the last beat: two beats after that, so that the first note of the remaining beat (strong part) is taken by the blow (burn down to the bottom).

11 and 12 tacts do not take revenge on signs. Why? The answer is this: in the first two beats, beat the very rhythmic little one, and in the next two beats the direction of the blows is shown. In principle, it was enough in the 9th measure to indicate the direction of the beats on the first rhythmic baby (the first 4 notes of the 9th measure). Ale mi was extended by 2 bars.

Repetition - motherly navchannya!

With a good butt, we know other elements of the sheet music:

  • Bag size: two quarters.
  • It plays like a lot, so the author made it easier for us to read the notes: most importantly, the assignments for the fingers of the left hand (numbers are given from the notes). Don’t just blindly try to position your fingers, but listen to the demands. Please understand that the author respects him.
  • There is no sign for the fingers of the right hand. Why? Bo is played by a mediator.
  • Alternative signs. There will be a slight note, as well as a flat note on the key (on the note “si”). If flat is on the key, then replace all notes “S” with the note “S-flat”. The actions of the episodic signs of alteration (in our case these are diies) are expanded by just one beat.
  • On the head of the other row of notes there is the number 7. And on the head of the third row there is the number 12. This is the number of the measure where the row begins. It’s easier to navigate this way.
  • Return respect to the reprise - she devolves the entire depicted part of the creation. Well, let's lose the two.

Abstract: Since you have not yet learned to fight in combat, this article will help you! After reading this article, you will learn to read and play the guitar. Recommended for beginner guitarists, and for those who don’t know how to read the book.

Guitar strumming is the simplest and most advanced way to play the guitar. Biy vikoristovuetsya at a great cost, whereby, it is impersonal.

Guitar beat - mental purpose

It is customary to denote three by rows of symbols:

  • First row and symbol: I– as indicated for the use of the vulgar finger of the right hand. The sign means a blow up, v – naturally down, and the sign X means that we must hit the strings down and muffle the sound of the strings with the edge of the bottom.
  • Another row and symbol: P- Assignments for the thumb of the right hand. If you sign the letter P with a ^ sign, then you need to pluck one bass string (bass strings – 6.5 and 4). Then, you pluck the string and tread on the leading (thin) string. Symbol | means that you need to do something like drag your thumb down the strings, sealing the bass strings.
  • Third row and symbol: L- Here's a description of playing with your left hand. Meaning of symbols: v – at the moment of striking with the right hand, the strings are bent but are strongly squeezed. x – the strings are released (so your fingers just lie on the strings), when you hit the strings, the sound is muffled. ^ - the strings are pressed firmly, the blow is timid and then completely released ( note: This sign is applied only to the strings that you strike (play) with the dominant finger of your right hand).

The skin row has a symbol - which indicates the severity of the blow.

Apply what you intended for battle:
I-^--v---v-x-v-^-v---
P-^-----------^-----
L-v--v---v-x-^-v-^---

Have you taken over? I mean, it’s a miracle! If not, then read it again, then let’s try to fight in battle!

Learning to play the guitar

And so, let's take the guitar (Last lesson, we talked about those). We squeeze it, and try it, as we have described above.

The first meaning of the letters is I – ^, P – ^, L – v. Well, we need to press down the strings, soften the bass and hit the high ground. Further values ​​I stand v, P – empty, L – v. We squeeze the strings well and press our fingers downwards. Dali I – x, P – empty, L – x. Well, we need to hit the strings (on which our fingers just rest) and the plug with the palm of our hand.

This is how it is read and played. There’s nothing fancy about it, it’s a headache to train your fingers!

It’s easy for people to start playing the guitar from the very beginning, and then just try to play them, thinking that it will immediately come out garna gras. Guitar strings are a little susceptible to training, so in order to work with them, you need to first master certain methods, first of all, fighting techniques.

Little things about receiving

The classical game conveys that people bend notes and in such a manner, pressing the required string in the right place, they begin to twist the sounds. As a result, the string will appear.

Ale є way to say goodbye - fight in battle. The musician must hit the strings with almost the entire pencil of his right hand. It is necessary to master a number of methods, which may result in bad accompaniment.

What are the battles like?

It is very important that you call it smart. There is no exact classification, but just common names. They are played by more amateurs than professional guitarists.

  • Pid Visotsky;
  • Three;
  • Shistka;
  • Without jamming;
  • Muffled;
  • Rivniy biy;
  • Spanish (visimka);
  • Blatny.

It's not all the same. Others, but overinsurances, are most often subject to contraction. And right away you need to learn the steps from them. There's nothing to say about the guitarist-coach. Ale, for example, “under Visotsky” or “thieves”, “Spanish” - more or less understood.

How to learn to fight?


Once he has learned the most familiar chords, the musician-coach tries to play them. It dawned on me that if you hit the strings with such a big swing, you won’t get anything. You need to try to align your hand so that it can accurately and gently extract the sound from the instrument. Vlasna, and the words “fight with battle” are a little wrong. It would be more correct to call this technique a rhythmic baby. There are a number of schemes that can be easily identified in any self-study.

The little one, or as we call it, is created from a songful number of beats and pauses between them. We squeeze the fretboard with our left hand, then we set up the chords, and then play a melody from them.

And what’s most important here is that it’s a matter of rhythm. Otherwise, you won’t be able to play the guitar normally. Basically, this is the way to play when you start playing an acoustic guitar. It’s great, having stagnated with the same method, to sleep in good company with the familiar song that the mustache sings. Or else you'll be victorious.

You can learn to play not only courtyard songs, but also learn a way to play rock and jazz. For example, Spanish, will help you hem the country style. Vzagali, the Spanish style is even more tsikavy, it’s a shame that we don’t vikorize it as often as we would like.

The most important meaning:

  • V – strike the strings downwards, starting at the top;
  • ^ - Impact uphill, from the front;
  • x – Muffled by the edge of the valley.

And now the most popular schemes:

  • v v v ^ v – the most popular way.
  • v ^ v ^ v - play like this: hit down, then up, hit down, up. Finish with a low blow.
  • If you try to mute the strings with your hand, you can remove the axis:

  • v ^ vх ^ v ^ vх ^ - this is how we reject it, the vikory method of muffling the sound.
  • v vх ^ ^ vх ^ - the famous “shistochka”. Garniy ta trochi folding rhythm. Ale vivchiti yogo varto.
  • v v v ^ ^ v v - the technique is not very easy, but it is much more widespread both among amateurs and among professionals.


These are the most common types. And yet, here you can experiment endlessly. And, the new details of the new chords can be combined in a great number of combinations.

You can start playing music at any time, and soon you can learn to play your favorite creations.
A newbie has enough guidance in more different types of combat. Ale is still a very foldable Spanish biy. This is why you need to take this method, which is called rasgeado (withered). And it also has its own views. Playing the guitar in this style is already the beginning of more meaningful actions, not just clatter.

Here you can interpret the following types: rozgeado vyshіdne (with the pen of the animal’s hand down), nizhіdne (obviously, what ends up from the bottom up) and kiltseve (the game goes down and the first and other types of battle).

It's a little foldable for beginners, but once you've mastered it, you can easily overcome the impact on your hearing.
