Chord accompaniment is the most common type of instrumental accompaniment to a song. Its distinctive features are equal loudness of each note, absence of highlighted echoes. All sounds in a chord are sounded simultaneously (guitar beat, piano "pillars") or sequentially (brute force or arpeggio). Novice musicians rarely manage to change chords to the rhythm of the song, as they have not yet developed a good enough mechanical memory and coordination.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn the accompaniment of any song at first without singing, at a very slow pace. By doing this, you will achieve sufficient clarity in the performance of each note, you will have time to follow the behavior of each finger. Otherwise, the chords will be blurry even at this stage, and the fingers will get used to the wrong position. Later, this will result in discomfort, inability to perform quick passages and muscle pain.
Step 2
Prepare your hand for the chord change a little ahead of time (about one eighth before the first ends and the second begins). During this period, you will have time to imagine the future position of the fingers. But start moving your hand only at the very last moment. Do not be upset if you did not succeed the first time: learning music and analyzing any piece is primarily associated with repeated repetition of the same place. Try until it is firm enough.
Step 3
Learn to connect chords in pairs. Make sure that the new chord from the very first eighth sounded bright enough (all strings are clamped tightly) and clean (the correct frets are clamped). Use comfortable fingers to pinch each chord without changing the fingering from performance to performance. This will help you develop a mechanical memory without constantly looking at the instrument for the right frets.
Step 4
Accelerate your pace gradually. Switch to a new tempo only when in the original one you managed to play five to ten times in a row without mistakes and misses. Take short breaks every hour or two if you feel the need. Pay attention to painful sensations: if they are, it means that you are doing something wrong: put the wrong fingers, your hand in the wrong position, or another. Correct and continue your studies.
