Music For Me

Most guitar players play guitar with a pick than fingers, now I'll give a little knowledge about the guitar picking technique.




The following simple example of a sweeping technique


|------------------ 9-12p9 --------- |---------

|--------------- 10-------- 10 ------|---------

|------------ 9 --------------- 9 ----|---------

|-------- 11----------- --------- 11 -|---------

|----- 12----------- ---------------|- 12 ------

|---------------------------------|---------

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Vvvvv
^ = Down-stroke or pluck the strings way down
v = up-stroke or pluck the strings way up
p and h = pull-on and hammer-on sounds two tones alternating with one passage

The following examples of sweeping Am that is often applied by Yngwie Malmsteen:

| --- 5p0 ------- 0-8p5 ------- 5-12p8 ------ |---- 8-17p12 ---------- 12 -20p17 --------

|------- 1 --- 1 ------- 5 --- 5 -------- 10 ---|- 10--------- 13 ---- 13---------- 17 -----

|--------- 2 ----------- 5 ------------- 9 -|----------- ---- 14----------- ----- 17 -

Guitar Picking Techniques

There is no standard to standard in holding this guitar pick. However, most guitar players holding a guitar pick with the thumb and forefinger as shown below:
Then to strum a guitar with a pick, must be done in 2 directions, up and down like in the picture above. Why? Because if you do pick one direction, for example downward course, be much slower than the bi-directional strum.
As a comparison, try to pick one of stringed stringed 8 times with one-way passage. Then try again to pick one of the strings 8 times with the passage of two-way quotes. It will be seen the speed difference is not it?
For our study here, is used tablatur guitar. Tablatur guitar shape is as follows:
|---------------------------------|--------------- ------------------ strings 1
|---------------------------------|--------------- ------------------ strings 2
|---------------------------------|--------------- ------------------ strings 3
|---------------------------------|--------------- ------------------ strings 4
|---------------------------------|--------------- ------------------ strings 5
|---------------------------------|--------------- ------------------ strings 6

Tablatur this guitar will be filled with figures showing the guitar fret number it should be pressed with the left hand finger, for example as follows:
| -0 - 0 - 0-0 - 3 - 3-3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4-4 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - | -8 - 8 - 8 - 8-11 - 11 - 11-11

In the picture above, the number 0 indicates the fret 0 (loose strings) on the first string, third fret on one string, fret 4 on string 1, etc.. Space between vertical lines (|) with subsequent vertical lines show one bar, which indicates 4 beats. Exercise 1 Let's start our practice. Practice two-way play guitar using a pick on tablatur the following:
d stringed down (down)
u pick up (up)
d u d u d u ff
| -0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3-3 - |
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
| -0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3-3 - |
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
| -0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3-3 - |
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
| -0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3-3 - |
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
| -0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3-3 - |
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
| -0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3-3 - |

Note:
• loose strings Fret 0
• fret 1 is pressed using the index finger
• 2nd fret is pressed using the middle finger
• 3rd fret is pressed using a finger
Perform the above exercise once slowly, pay attention to tempo, accuracy and emphasis excerpts fret. Then gradually increase the training runs with the faster tempo. If there is, use a metronome to practice tempo, if not, we can use our feet tapping the floor constantly.
Exercise 2
This exercise is to train and train your little finger picking on the left hand.
d stringed down (down)
u pick up (up)
d u d u d u ff
| -1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2-2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3-3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4-4 - |
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
| -1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2-2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3-3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4-4 - |
|------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
| -1 - 1-1 - 1 - 2-2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3-3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4-4 - |

Note:
• fret 1 is pressed using the index finger
• 2nd fret is pressed using the middle finger
• 3rd fret is pressed using a finger
• 4th fret is pressed using the little finger
Train faster! But it must be accurate and clean. Do not use any guitar effect to practice. Create your own variations in practice in training your fingers.

Previous to remember
to play speed the key in the right hand (picking) instead of the left hand (fingering).
- You must exercise all of them (fingering and picking) in Tempo very slow to get the proper synchronization and TONE flat at each speed plus jari.Lalu slowly until you feel comfortable and still remain true to yourself sendiri.jika no less NADA NADA atooo still belom neat clean, I think you should use a metronome to help keep your game clean and tidy. and metronomes also help you to be more accustomed to a regular tempo beats.

Picking ... ...
I think picking is the way how you pluck a guitar string. For a guitarist picking should not be granted, because there are so many types of picking what we can learn. I myself was not at all versed in music (especially guitar to play a musical instrument) but I'll try to explain some types of picking that I think there are only two concepts of using finger picking (finger picking) and picking using the tool (Proper picking). From these two basic concepts of picking it, it can be created, picking other variations you can use as needed.

Finger Picking
Finger Picking is a way of using the finger pluck a guitar string, in writing musical notations finger right and left to differentiate using the symbols of letters and numbers. Fingers of the left usually used to press the strings on the fret-fret guitar, while the right index finger is usually used to pluck the strings.

Proper Picking
Proper Picking a method of strumming the guitar by using a tool like a pick, there are many variations and techniques that can be used and developed in this method. I'll explain some proper picking variations include:

Up-stroke picking = This term is used when you strum the strings towards the top, usually in the form of tablature denote the character of V

Down-stroke Picking = term is used when you strum the strings towards the bottom, usually in the form of tablature denote the character ^

Arternate Picking = It is a combination of the upstroke and downstroke picking picking picking the strings toward the top and bottom. Picking this type most often used because it can pluck the strings more quickly compared to if you only use it stokes up-or down-storoke course

Economic tehnih picking Picking = Variations for solo play the game fast, economic arternate almost the same as picking, which can sound economic distinguish two tones at two different strings into a single passage

Circle Picking = Sometimes there are also stating that the circle equal to economic picking picking, but I distinguish them because the circle picking incase strings by rotating like a circle so that DAPT produce a smoother sound (you can really disagree with me: D)

Sweep Picking = bias also called picking arpeggios. This variation is used to strum a few guitar strings at once, by the way just incase the strings downward or upward course.

Tremolo Picking = Same as arternate picking, tremolo variation can usually be differentiated when there is a tone in the quotes are often (repeatedly) and fast.

Harmonic Picking = Variation picking to produce harmonic tones. Have a look and listen to the guitar sound which is derived from the videos.
