If you decide to play Spanish music, then you need to buy a special guitar. Although it will be enough for the first lessons, just put a thin plate on the top of a classical guitar. Such a device is called a golpeador, it is made of plastic. Take care of the elongated nails on the little finger of your right hand, on the thumb. First, learn how to hold your guitar properly while playing music.
Instructions
Step 1
Sit on a chair without armrests, the legs should be the same as the length of your leg from knee to floor. Form a line parallel to the floor between the knee and pelvic joints. Place your feet on the floor. Keep your back straight. Place the lower body on your right thigh and lift the headstock up to head level. With a classical guitar, it is difficult to achieve a sense of comfort in this position.
Step 2
Learn to play rasgeado. Play chord groups with the tips of the nails of your right hand. A single blow down falls on the strings from the 6th string to the 1st string. Direct a single upward stroke from string 1 to string 6.
Step 3
The simplest technique is performed with one index finger of your right hand. So you will play seco. To facilitate the sustained sounding of the rasgeado, rest your thumb tip on the 6th string, you can set it just above the top deck near the 6th string. Thus, you will fix your hand, which will allow you to do all the strikes on the strings with the same strength of sound. Roll your index finger into a ring, and use your fingernail to touch the flesh of your palm at the base of your thumb.
Step 4
Make a straight hit with the outside of your nail, the hit is like a click with which you knock something off the 6th string. With the inside of the nail, hit back by returning the index finger to its original position. Make sure that the kickback hits not all strings, but hits the top three or four strings of the chord.
Step 5
Bring the four-bar structure of salt llamad to automatism. Play accents clearly. Accurate rhythmic reproduction is key to Spanish musical style. Then master tento 1, alegria, petener, guajira.
Step 6
Another way to play an accented beat is a single downward beat from the 6th string to the 1st, made with your index and middle fingers. And do the rest of the blows with your index or middle finger.
Try to master the technique of striking the strings with your middle and ring fingers together.
Choose the type of string striking that suits the anatomical features of your hand.
