The guitar fight was invented by flamenco performers for a long time. True, then the technique when the right hand strikes all the strings, performing a certain rhythmic pattern, was called "ragdeado" - under the same names it can be found in modern textbooks on classical guitar, where it is used, however, quite rarely. There are quite a few types of combat, but for a beginner, it is enough to master several combinations in order to later figure out the rest of the options on his own.
It is necessary
- - guitar;
- - tablature or digital;
- - audio recording of the song;
- - player.
Instructions
Step 1
Play the desired chord with the fingers of your left hand. If you do not understand music and have not yet learned how to read digital, use tablatures. First, choose a chord that is played on almost only open (unclamped) strings. For example, in E minor, where only the fourth and fifth strings are clamped at the second fret.
Step 2
Connect the second, third and fourth fingers of your right hand, but so that the hand is free. With your thumb (first) finger, hit the sixth string. With the rest of your fingers, slide the strings from the bottom up, that is, from the sixth string to the first. Keep in mind that the concepts of "up" and "down" in this case are different from everyday ones, since the sixth string is called the bottom string, but in space it is located above the rest. It is good to practice this technique on three-part compositions, for example, written in the rhythm of a waltz. Take the bass on a strong beat, on the other two - slide all your fingers along all the strings from bottom to top. This fight is usually indicated by a "V" icon.
Step 3
Try the same trick, but hit all strings not with your entire right hand, but only with your index fingernail, if you have it strong and long enough. By the way, you can try playing with a pick, especially for someone who is going to master the electric guitar in the future.
Step 4
The second type of fight is when the folded fingers of the right hand move from the first string to the sixth string. Such a fight is indicated by an inverted Latin V. As in the first case, you can play with folded fingers, an index fingernail or a pick.
Step 5
Try a more difficult type of fight, when the hand with folded fingers moves alternately up and down. The thumb, as in the previous cases, strikes the bass string for a strong beat. This combat option is convenient for two-part and four-part sizes - for example, marches.
Step 6
When playing flamenco, you may encounter another option for fighting where the thumb is not involved in the game. The musician performs rapid up and down movements with the nail of his index finger, clearly conveying the rhythm of the dance.
Step 7
It is not uncommon for musicians to use muted combat. It is indicated by an oblique cross, and it is done like this. Play the desired chord with your left hand. Place the rib of your right hand on the strings near the saddle (stand). As with other types of combat, use your thumb to strike the bass string, and with your right index finger, strike the rest of the strings in a given rhythm.
