A man with a guitar is always the soul of the company, especially if he knows and knows how to play well-known songs loved by many, and can brighten up any event, be it a family celebration, a tourist trip or a corporate evening. You can learn to play simple rhythms and chords pretty quickly if you have the desire and time for regular practice. In this article we will tell you how to learn how to play the famous song "Gypsy".
Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin practicing the immediate rhythm of striking the strings, practice the chord progression that makes up the verse. You should memorize your finger placement for each chord, and then slowly pluck the strings, changing the position of your fingers on each subsequent chord.
Step 2
The Gypsy verse consists of the following chords, the rules for constructing which you can easily find in any chord book on the net:
Am Am6 Am Em Em (add 9) Em H7 H7 (add 6) H7 Em (add 9) Em Em (add 9) Em.
Having played all these chords in a row, you will hear the melody of the first verse of "Tsyganochka". Repeat the chord combination as many times as there are verses in the song.
Step 3
Once you have memorized the sequence and rules for stating the chords, and you have mastered slowly playing the strings with changing chords of the verse, you can begin to practice playing in the fighting technique, which implies rhythmic strikes on the strings.

Each chord has a certain number of up and down beats. When struck up with the index finger of your right hand, quickly but gently slide from the sixth string to the first, and when struck downward, also quickly and gently slide your finger from the first string to the fourth.
Step 5
Repeat striking up and down, practicing the softness and fluidity of the strike on all chords. The sound should be clear and crisp, strive for the maximum accuracy and brightness of the sound, avoiding the harsh sound of the strings.
Step 6
To make the guitar fight method easier and faster for you, remember a few rules. In particular, you can help yourself with your thumb, which is indicated by the letter p on the chord diagrams, while the index finger is indicated by the letter i.
