Can I learn guitar if I buy a book and learn guitar by myself? Here is what I have compiled for your reference!

1. Of course you can, but it depends on whether you work hard. I am good at playing guitar. I'm self-taught and now I play lead in a band. It's best to buy a smaller guitar textbook with a video. It may be expensive, but it doesn't matter if you don't have one. There are many videos on the Internet that are more practical. You can just ask a teacher and he will call you. It's very easy to get through with just one click. The East-West Bachelor is easy to learn, but it takes time and perseverance to negotiate well

2. Guitar is actually not difficult to learn, but it takes a lot of effort to learn it well.

Since I am a beginner, let me start from the most basic:

First of all, there are two main types of acoustic guitars: folk guitar and classical guitar

Classical guitar The guitar is similar to the piano. It is a relatively professional instrument and requires a lot of patience and perseverance from beginners. It is true that the strings made of nylon are relatively soft, but they are also difficult to control. Moreover, those who study classical music generally have to learn staff music, which is more difficult. At the same time, the requirements for classical piano playing skills are relatively high.

In contrast, I personally prefer the folk guitar, which is more often used for accompaniment, that is, guitar playing and singing. If LZ likes to sing, then I think it would be perfect to learn folk songs. But its disadvantage is that it uses steel wire strings, which are relatively hard. Your fingers will hurt when you first learn, but it will ease after a while. Furthermore, to use a famous saying: "How can fingers that have not shed blood play the most beautiful song in the world?" Whatever you do, you have to pay for it. Of course, bleeding is a bit exaggerated...

If you want to learn electric piano, I recommend again: "Joey Guitar Classroom"

The last step is to sign up for a good guitar learning class.

Although self-study is also possible, I think the best way to learn guitar is to have a teacher teach you step by step. Only in this way can you avoid the mistakes that many beginners make and avoid detours to learn the guitar as quickly as possible. Getting started with the method.

Even if you are self-study, you must have a good tutorial, like the one I recommended to you above.

If you want to find a teacher, it is best to go to a larger music store, which is more professional.

Generally speaking, there will be guitar instruction, and the teacher will also recommend introductory materials for you.

Okay, almost done. Finally, I would like to send you a message:

As long as you work hard, everything is possible!

When you make up your mind to do something well, it is not too late.

Come on!

Hope these can help you.

Introduction to guitar strumming

There are strumming techniques in flamenco guitar, and the effect is very good. Generally, the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger of the right hand are used to strum the strings in sequence.

In folk guitar, there are two methods of strumming: one using a pick, and the other using your fingers. Here we first introduce finger strumming.

There are two methods of finger strumming:

Thumb strumming

The fingers are naturally extended in a slightly arc shape, and all strumming movements are done with Thumbs up done. This method of strumming has a full sound and good integrity. The disadvantage is that the timbre is not uniform enough and the brightness is poor.

The thumb and index finger are crossed to form a "ten", and the other fingers are stretched out like a flying bird. Use the back of the index finger nail when hitting down, and use the back of the thumb nail when hitting upward. This method has bright and unified timbre, but the sound is slightly thin.

A few points to note here:

When strumming, the movement of the right hand should be mainly based on the wrist, and the right forearm is driven by the swing of the wrist.

The fingernails should touch the string at an angle of about 60°, not at a right angle. That is to say, when strumming the string down, the nail of the index finger should give way slightly inward, and when strumming the string upward, the nail of the thumb should also give way slightly inward. Make sure the back of your fingernail touches the string, not the tip.

The trajectory of the direction of the finger strum should be an arc.

The depth of your fingers touching the strings has a great influence on the tone. If the string is touched too deeply, it will easily get stuck on a certain string, causing the sound to break. If the string is touched too shallowly, the sound will be light and lack tension.

It is best to listen to the original record, listen to the strumming tone inside, and then compare it with yourself.

The last song is "The Girl Opposite Looks Over" by Chen Qingxiang. This acoustic guitar arrangement is quite simple, but it sounds very good. It has been popular all over the country. I hope everyone likes it.

Tip: There are some variations of the root note of the chord at the beginning. The root note is the name of the chord. For example, the root note of the C chord is C. For example, the intro part is C→C/G→C→C/G. Changes in root note will be discussed in future tutorials. Note that the rhythm of this song is repeated at the back, and you will soon get the feel for it. Or make it into a graphics file.

Guitar C major and A minor

Let’s go back and look at the C major scale.

Any major scale should be arranged like this. So what is the scale of D major like?

It is still arranged according to the relationship of "whole, half, whole, whole, half".

In any major scale, the interval from the first note to the eighth note should be the same as that in C major. The intervals should feel the same when we sing. Just the pitch is different.

No matter what major key it is, follow the roll call of each scale in C major, singing the first note as Do and the second note as Re... This singing method is called the "first tune" Solfa"

The relative minor of C major is a minor, and its notes are arranged like this.

We distinguish between major and minor keys in this way: the first three notes are major third intervals, which is a major scale, and the first three notes, which are minor third intervals, are minor scales.

The constituent sounds of a relative minor are the same as those of its major key. That is to say, starting with the note 6 in the major key is its relative minor.

The relative minor of C major is a minor

The relative minor of D major is b minor

The relative minor of G major is e minor

This is a diagram of the relationship between major and minor keys

Some people may ask, where is the B flat key? Zhao Chuan loves to sing songs in this key. The key of B flat is the key of A sharp.

In this way we can probably distinguish the major and minor keys of a song.

Songs in major keys are often bright and majestic; songs in minor keys are often soft and lyrical.

In terms of chords,

C major songs use the C chord at the beginning and at the end.

A minor songs begin and end with the Am chord.

Songs in C major are mainly C, G, and F. A minor songs are mainly composed of Am, Em and Dm.
