The guitar is the most companionable and at the same time individual musical instrument. It is a pleasure to play on it. By learning how to pick a guitar fight, you can feel more creative freedom and learn to play many new songs.
Rhythm
Rhythm is the foundation of any melody. Therefore, before you start picking up a fight on an acoustic or electronic guitar, make sure that you have a well-developed sense of rhythm.
The sense of rhythm is the ability to highlight weak and strong beats and their duration in a musical stream. For a musician, having a sense of rhythm is much more important than having a keen ear.
When you are confident that you already have a given skill, start matching the fight to the song by tapping out the rhythm. Each melody has strong and weak beats. Try to identify them. This can be done with claps. Clap your hands into the rhythm pattern as the song plays. After a certain time, you will feel at what point you are tempted to slap brighter - this will be a strong beat.
Simple exercise
The simplest exercise that will teach you to identify the rhythmic pattern does not take long. You will need a metronome (available at a musical instrument store) and your hands.
Start the metronome at a slow rate, for example 45-50 beats per minute, and slap each beat, counting out loud. Then try to emphasize (clap harder) and speed up the metronome beats every fourth beat.
This exercise will not help you to choose the right fight for the song, as it will give you an idea of what rhythm is. For a deeper study, you should contact a music tutor or free materials on the Internet.
Guitar fight
Once you've learned the chords, you can start picking a fight. Basically, combat has four elements: hitting the strings down, hitting up, muffling, and pause. Strong beats are usually struck down, and weak beats up. And muffling and pause are "performance decorations".
Only a person with a keen ear and musical education is able to pick up chords on his own. If you do not belong to this category of people, then use ready-made collections on the Internet.
Remember that a fight is a repetition of the same rhythmic section. Each song has a specific cycle that repeats itself constantly. Feeling this, you will easily pick up a fight.
Do not neglect those battles that are ubiquitous: army combat, simple six, etc. Based on them, you can create your battle.
Be original
For some reason, there is a widespread opinion that, when singing a performer, it is imperative to do everything exactly. Undoubtedly, great poets and musicians, before becoming great, began by imitation.
But imitation will remain imitation, if you do not invest your individuality in the performed. This all means that, when choosing your own guitar fight for a song you like, you don't have to strive for complete copying. Yes, maybe instead of hitting down the strings like the author did, you will have a pause or hit up. The main thing in a song is to be guided by the rhythm. And choosing an accurate battle is optional.
