Everything should be right
Теперь, когда в ваших руках приличный инструмент, go directly to the game chords. For playing the guitar, and especially chords, the convenience of not only the instrument, but also its use is of great importance. Proper fit, the location of the arms and legs will help to quickly master the guitar chords.
Если вы «правша», то, сев на стул, расставьте legs somewhere shoulder width. Place the lower part of the body of the guitar between your legs so that the neck rushes left up. But not too high: its upper part should be at shoulder level. The left hand should be wrapped around the neck, so that four fingers are above it. The thumb of the left hand should serve as a stop. This is the starting position for playing guitar chords.
What is a chord?
Вы играете на гитаре, поочередно зажимая струны, and the result is a melody. And if you simultaneously clamp the strings in an appropriate way, and spend on them, you will get a chord. A chord is the consonance of several strings. As a rule, the basis of the chord is triad. For example, the chord C major consists of notes do, mi, and g. Without going deep into the jungle of musical literacy, I can only say that the guitar adds three more notes to the three notes. Naturally, there are six strings. Although this is correct only when we are talking about a simple "yard" technique of playing chords.
In fact, there are different schools and ways of playing this instrument. In particular, in jazz, it is meant to play with two sounds and triads, without using other strings.
Simple and affordable
Getting Started to Learn Guitar Chordsit is necessary to add that consonances are major and minor. They are denoted by Latin letters. For example: C - in C major. If a minor chord is added, a small Latin letter m - Cm is added (in C minor). Playing chords in most cases serves as an accompaniment to a song or solo part in an instrumental composition. Therefore, having chosen a composition, we begin to select or use already prepared resources, where the chords for this song are presented.
Learning to play chords
In principle, you can start as with simple songs fromthree "thieves" chords, and with songs in which at least five main chords. Three thieves are A minor (Am), D minor (Dm) and E major (E). You can find a lot of songs that are built on their combination. Most often these are chastooshkas and some songs of the so-called urban romance.
So, learn to play these chords.In A minor - we place the index finger of the left hand on the second string of the first fret, the middle one on the fourth second, and unnamed on the third string of the same fret. Make sure that the fingers and other parts of the brush are not jammed other strings! If you did everything right, you can hear or hit the strings with your right hand over the hole on the body of the guitar for the sake of what you bought the guitar for. The long awaited chord sound! Having mastered in this way other consonances, you will begin to accompany yourself or others. But it is better to learn to sing right away. Then the result will be clearer and more pleasant. Sing Even if you think that you can not sing.
Believe me, those who sing to their accompaniment, as a rule, do not abandon the process started. And vice versa. All in your hands!
